The Nature of this Conflict (Humans)

DT: "Unfortunately, the Haitians have never developed their society to the point that they are prepared. Is that God's fault? Is it the First World's? It is a tough-love God's challenge to be adult in societal rules and development."

I'm afraid that remark strikes me as being pretty close to racist.

I've answered George's opinion before, but I live in this hemisphere and know the Hiatian condition. Several million Hiatians are here in the US, because since the so-called country became free in 1820, no truly constructed country has ever developed. I'm no expert, so I present an expert column from the WSJ:

Another column from the WSJ re' Haiti, supporting my original comments that George objected to. The background of the people in Haiti has not allowed them to develop any maturity in country building. George, whose responsibility is it to develop that sort of maturity? Yours, mine, the useless UN?
