Like i said, slavery was a different system to the Africans. Do you know why the Europeans choose Africans?
*sigh*
The reason Haiti is poor is simple. It is the victim of Corporate greed! Western companies outsource the work (reason US is lacking in jobs these days) and pay the people absolutely nothing to increase their PROFIT MARGINS!

Whites have always been the more brutal and intellectual race. We are beasts with intellect.
Child domestic workers are perhaps amongst the most exploited sectors in Haiti. A child who stays with and works for another family is called a "restavec" (rester avec), in Creole. According to the Restavec Children Foundation, these children are often given away or sold by poor families in order to survive. Frequently the children's most basic rights to health and education are denied. They are not paid for their work and often abused. For instance, the restavecs have to return to their duties in the house, after having escorted the house owner's children to school. The restavec boys and the girls often flee at the age of 12-13, joining one of the many street gangs or ending up as prostitutes.

Today's slavery is in the form of economic slavery.
Debt = slavery, it happens on the individual level all the way up to the international level.
Because they were available for sale, relatively cheap. They were sold by their fellow Africans to the slavers for labor in the Americas.
I have to make one more statement. I believe the reasons these companies are allowed in these third world countries to open these sweatshops is good old fashioned greed an politics. The companies have to be paying the politicians some money to fleece them and allow it to happen
Japan and Germany... Two cultures, very polite, traditional, quiet, not In Your Face, not prone to fighting in person or getting argumentative or down right violent inter personally under stress..
