The person who commented they nuke Japan and there were many Asian successes. If you mean Asia was successful after the nuke, that's because Japan had Aid to rebuild. That's because they gave millions maybe billions to help Japan and also the USA government helped asian countries and asians in the USA while working to oppress blacks so you should look into that.

Something's a little off about how CNN went about explaining what Vodou is...

[emojiroiyariti]

Vodou is not evil, evil came to Haiti with the slave masters! Vodou as I learned about it is a religion, culture, community both physical and spiritual and about life and the ancestors!

The god of the NT did nothing to help the people of Haiti. One practitioner of Vodou said that when the Christians came they told the people to pray with their eyes closed & that when they did this their land was stolen from them. One Evangelical Johnny-come-lately, the pastor of Shalom Tabernacle, can say that Haiti's problems are do to a pact or to Vodou, but if the people of Haiti who rebelled against being enslaved in the late 18th century had said they were going to do this in Jesus name, no doubt they would have been told that Jesus said "No slave is above his master" (John 15:20) and that the Apostle Paul said "slaves, obey your masters" (Col. 3:22). Christians should have known better than to enslave people, even though there were "heathen" Africans also involved, as the Christians then said the heathens knew nothing and needed to be told what to do by Christians.
