ABOUT EZILI DANTO
Èzili Dantò is a human rights and international law attorney and author.

Dantò writes research pieces on a range of international, justice and cultural issues. But her writings are most popular and economically valued when there is a major crisis in Haiti. For the last 25 years, she’s been the steadiest international voice on Haiti, continually writing after the media goes home.

Èzili regularly publishes columns and research articles in The Progressive, Global Research, Black Agenda Report, San Francisco Bay View, LA Progressive, Open Salon, and Pacific Free Press and has essays in several anthologies. The Red, Black and Moonlight series is a dramatic memoir based on her experience in Haiti on the first return since she moved to the US as a young child. Vodun Woman is a published collection of her Vodun Jazzoetry performance poetry.

Thank you brothers and sister. This is one of the best shows that I ever watched. Please keep on making more… I want to include that Dessalines should have gotten rid of all whites including their mulâtres children. They are the spoilers, which we call les enfants gâtés. If Haiti is in the destructions that it is today is because of these mulâtres. The percentage of the mulatto race in Haiti is 5%. This percentage Controls everything. They are the remaining of the French, British and the Spanish colonials Additionally, they are causing more problems than the rest of the population. As long as they are breathing, Haiti will never have a well established government because this 5% always intrigue in the establishment’s affairs. Beside spoiling things inside the government, moreover, they take bribe from the US government to create chaos. How would one expect for this country to move forward? If you look at all the elites who had a chance to run president in Haiti, they all take money and run away with it. Someone like Petion was a big traitor. Dessalines should have done the same thing to him as he did to les blancs. Because of Petion, a mulatto, Dessalines was assassinated.
wonderful show! another great one. african europeans (so called whites) will never fully understand until they are re-cycled and come back through as "dark matter" in other words… melanated producers…once again!
Noam Chomsky has actually written more about U.S. interference in Haiti than this talk goes into. A lot of people don't understand that if you have a superior force on your border, then none of your nation's or people's initiatives can happen. There is no way for Haiti to do what it wants. To keep wages down in the U.S., you have to break the union – OR, hire police or military to keep wages down overseas where there ain't no unions. This is how & why sweatshops exist. Look: a LOT of this continues because of people's misconceptions. We think that because "Governments" are SUPPOSED to be looking out for US, that they are working against these people who exploit us, here & abroad. Now I've only discovered recently that even Blacks in America have trouble coming to terms with this, but simply put, http://allaregreen.us/ this isn't true. And it's really, really false. "Governments" aren't "governments". They are people. People can be bought, and if people refuse to BE bought, they can be killed. There are no arms manufacturers nor arms sellers in Africa, yet every rebel faction we find out later are working for corporate or foreign interests get them. as do leaders who work to keep their pwn people down, like in Egypt. You want to undo the current situation, you have to remove the power structures perpetuating them. This requires a whole new way of thinking, starting with ridding ourselves of "us versus them" thinking. Racism exists. But it is at once both its own issue and parts of other issues. British history against Ireland isn't terribly pretty either. It starts with a desire to get rich above concerns for others, and it never stops. Ever. It may not be the way you & I look at the world, but we're not running things. You want to stop the people running things, you gotta get into THEIR heads a little bit. There ARe solutions to these problems, but it takes a little indirect thinking and creativity to see where they are. Anyone want to discuss this?
Philippe keep doing what you’re doing. You always have credible people come on and speak the truth and what makes it so beautiful is how articulate the whole conversation is regarding unmasking the agenda that’s in place to make us serve the needs of others at the expense of ourselves and we need to know that we can stop
I have a question so how come there's not much attention paid to the fact that the real issue of slavery and Haitis revolution had to do with the black Jacobite kings of Great Britain and France being overthrown. I read in a book about General Toussaint Louverture from 1934 that referenced some documents and interviews where he said he would fight to the last to see their black king restored. King James Francis Edward Stuart, the last legitimate king was living in France and Italy. There were many people in the Caribbean including the black landed gentry who supported him and King Louis XIV. There is a series of tapestries called The Four Continents…the Africa one is very interesring. It was commissioned by King Louis XIV a couple of years before he was murdered and it shows a black king who is actually easily identifiable but is never identified in most books and white Europeans bringing him offerings and gifts….why would a white king commission that? I think it's a self portrait. General Toussain't Louverture was probably one of Frances last black nobility. France did what Great Britain had done in 1688 almost 100 years later. I find it interesting that black historians don't acknowledge the black Jacobite kings which was the real reason for the enslavement of blacks and also the real impetus for the American Revolution. Cecil John Rhodes who led colonization of southern Africa said his group represented by the Germans who took over Great Britain and France wanted to get America back. That's why he came to southern Africa to fund the rest of the enslavement and takeover. I think it's time we acknowledge the black Europeans who fell and were enslaved. Traditional slavery outside of America was that if you lost in war or a battle, you became a slave of the victory. I think the full picture is still not in view.
Oh yeah they used our music against us. Artist are encouraged to produce low frequency music to aid in our destruction. We have to gain control of our music and the message our people receive.
I really admire you guys for giving us so much history, I have always had questions as a12 year old, i was a committed christian but, i still felt there was still questions unanswered so i dropped away from church so i can hear the ancestors speak,and then in my search for answers, i ran into philippe and kaba and have become more wise and informative to my children, i really was never so caught up in church, cause i read the bible front to back three times, and i know that maat is more of what my melanin black self had always felt was necessary and a way everyone should be like, but not so, but this way of life makes more sense to my human makeup requires, again thanks alot you guys, and may the force od the ancestors be with us all……
We all want to know more about why this is still happening after visiting now I overstand more of the situation, living in a colony the oldest in the western hemisphere. "If it is to be it's up to me" Yes Prof Kaba is the Dr Clarke of the day. You are on the right track Bro Philippe we will never leave you are too important your platform is very very necessary. "The Oprah of internet" SHOCK is real

Addressing our historical trauma will be monumental Bro…looking forward to the upcoming Wisdom School.
Ezili is my WombMan.
Thank you. Great show

I applaud you for this one. You have had many great shows but I think this tops them all.
Thank you Phillipe, I am learning so much. I had no idea about the villages in Haiti. my wheels are spinning.
Beautiful queen you are correct they are not human I stand by that definitely not human
Philippe keep doing what you’re doing. You always have credible people come on and speak the truth and what makes it so beautiful is how articulate the whole conversation is regarding unmasking the agenda that’s in place to make us serve the needs of others at the expense of ourselves and we need to know that we can stop
Thank you for this show. We must see ourselves as one Black family. Dr. Francis Cress Welsing broke it down and we must believe it to overcome.

So proud of my sister, she's REALLY Dessalines's spiritual daughter.
I love this Sista's fire!!! It's breathtaking to see a string sister who stands in her own power and strength.
Oh yeah they used our music against us. Artist are encouraged to produce low frequency music to aid in our destruction. We have to gain control of our music and the message our people receive.
Excellent show! Two brilliant minds representing beaming power.
Also i would like to know how can we as a people stop these whites from taking our land and resources, just does not make much sense
