“Never complain, never explain! That’s my motto. In general, you don’t complain, and as long as you don’t owe anyone anything, you don’t have to explain either.” - Michele B. Duvalier.. watch my Papa Doc Biography Papa Doc Duvalier - Haiti’s Voodoo dictator who hexed Kennedy + The Clintons & Haiti..

I'm not surprised they married Mixed race women. Look at Marcus Garvey. His second wife Amy Garvey said he was enchanted by her hair and white features. Malcolm X was the only Black nationalist who married a dark skinned Black woman
I've heard that! It's also a Brit saying... My mother uses it . I definitely remember the time that they ruled, even as an American, and Iwas young at the time... They were brutal to the Haitian people. 😢! Power taken too far.
I love this! I'm under pressure to take almost the class B exam today, I already have a class A, but I will be using this saying! Love your videos!
Why Haiti don’t get their reparations from France ; I hate when Haitians don’t badly about black Americans wants reparations from America !
This was very enlightening please do more❤
She reminds me of Marie Antoinette. Living an extremely lavish lifestyle while the people starved.
“Let them eat cake”
I believe she’s worse cause she actually was around the less fortunate & seen firsthand for herself yet she still lived lavish
@@CacaoFlowerIt’s not as simple as that.
i was about to comment that as well
If you study the history, MA got a bad rap. She never actually said, “Let them eat cake.”
@@t-dgonzalez2012that was Lady Du Barry
My mom told me about this era cause she grew up in it as a child and she said isn’t it ironic how this lady is wearing Chanel custom looks and living in her ivory tower while everyone else was starving or in constant fear of being hurt for not agreeing with her dictator husband.
Man, our parents really have some trauma from this era. 😢
I expect the men were particularly lackadaisical .Even the rich ones had several mistresses and the wives were just figureheads,broodmares and managers .Funny how from the outside looking in others would begrudge the Duvaliers status and rank .When Chanel was literally more affordable than some of the ps5s and laptops today
@@sayeedharem4673 SMH😢
@@KarineAlourde I'm sure sorry about this Karine!! I wondered if you had seen/ been affected by their time in power.
@@sayeedharem4673 Chanel suits more affordable than laptops?? Not then and not now. I watched that entire 60 Minutes episode when it first aired. And Haiti is STILL going through hell, while the USA runs across the Atlantic to throw BILLION$ at Ukraine and Israel…now I’m off topic…
My mother left haiti in 1978.. now 76 years old, she has no desire to ever go back. Nothing but sadness and pain when she speaks about Haiti.
Aww so sad i can imagine the pain she could have went through for her never want to go back.i always say where one find peace that is where is call home, send my love to your mum.
Same here
Three million dollars for a wedding in a country where people are starving is insane! If she was a dark skinned woman who was divorced with two kids he would have never married her regardless of her background.
Black men have the same pathology, if you follow Cynthia G, she talks a lot about it. Black men with money or without money believe lighter skin is better and deserves better.
She was there for revenge because of the way Papa Doc treated her father. She was in a mission
@@annecelestin8534 I agree. I made a statement below that I believe she was an agent on assignment for France.
He wouldn’t consider her.
Speaking facts!
"She came into the government through the bedroom & she brought down the government through her greed" Wow.
An implanted succubus
Please continue with this series: Political Figures...these last two videos have been eye opening and interesting Karine
Absolutely! This makes me so excited that you guys are loving them 🥺♥️
Agreed. Yes, they have. Such divided souls. Some good was done yet a lot of damage was done as well.
@@KarineAlourdeyes!!! And you are a great teacher and storyteller, educating us simultaneously, Thank you!
Yes! I love this. I also love hearing the history from your perspective
@@KarineAlourde For real! Grenada please!!! Our Caribeean histories always get left out of the documentaries on TV and online like we don't exist or only existed as slaves
Papa Doc was against the mulato people but both he and his son married one.
Seeing Michelle behaviour it sort of confirms his concerns...
Always the case
I suspect that they hate themselves and marry mulatto thinking of the descent...
Simone Duvalier was not mulato.
Was he against mulatos as a people or he was against them hoarding power amongst themselves against the darker skin haitians?
Do a story about the First Lady in Philippines who had all the shoes.
Yes!! I thought about her. Imelda Marcos,
Imelda Marcos was a mess indeed
Used to quote her in our English compositions when we were young
Why are so many leaders wicked and greedy? Especially among suffering and impoverished people??
Imelda Marcos
The" Do as I say, Not as I do" politicians are everywhere.
A lot don't seem to really care about the people,it's their pocket they care about
Yes indeed 👍
My uncle was one of the USAF pilots that flew Baby Doc and family out of Haiti to France in 86. He had some interesting observations. One of them was that the wife and daughter were "dripping in jewels" on the plane.
Oh wow 😮 now that’s insane
@@KarineAlourde I saw your video on Papa Doc yesterday. I will ask him if his remains were on the aircraft
Sickening
The real question is where was she getting the money from.....
Damn🤬!
She can keep the clapbacks; where is all Haiti’s money?! A fur coat living in Haiti is wild. Like WHY?!
But a part of the white house had room that was converted into a cold room wth snow flakes iheard.😮
Too hot 🔥 for a fur coat 🧥 in Haiti! 😂🤣
I understand the idea of dignity- she wanted to prove to other first ladies that she wasn't some peasant who had never seen a diamond before. But there's a case for not flaunting your wealth. Don't prove anything to the other first ladies; prove your love to the people. I think Haitians would have forgiven the gowns and the jewels, but a fur coat that has to be refrigerated?!
The online USD converter rate from 86 into today's dollars...girl they escaped with a little over $2.2 BILLION DOLLARS. $2,279,795,620.44
LIKE ...how you spend that much in a lifetime? Imagine having 2.2 billion? Those poor Haitian citizens.
The media will shine a live spotlight on some things while the estimated $500milliom/ up to a few billion dollars worth of gold that was under the WorldTradeCenter on September 11, 2001 has been “missing” to this day and we have yet to hear about that. How does anyone carry out that much gold and how has no one “noticed” it?
It’s interesting how these heists happen/ what we learn and don’t learn about them.😐
@@noble604do you really believe it's missing ,do you really believe that these people say? You need to wake up
That’s my question, how do you end up broke in France with that type of money?! I get living beyond your means but come on now!
Haiti deserves better ! Watching videos about how Haiti has been handled makes me frustrated. I hope Haiti gets the peace and period of rest it deserves ❤
It will happen the day that us Haitians people stop dealing with the US 🇺🇸 Canada 🇨🇦 France 🇫🇷 tout lot peyi kap souse ayiti yo
To spend some much money on luxury when people were starved is disgusting. Shopping?? Nah she's no hero.
I find this series really interesting. I’m a Louisiana Creole myself so it’s interesting to see the colorist mindset and how it led to downfall played out in other creole cultures
Seriously because it’s the opposite in America
What?
Creole is not synonymous to being being “Haitian” just like u wouldn’t call French white ppl Creole. Y’all are a mix of races and your own culture in itself. We are KREYOL. (Creh-Yo)
The fact that he looked like a 35 year old man at 19 is crazy … I know all this bc my moms family was one of the rich families that didn’t suffer from him as long as you know they pay up n stuff .. so for me I got all my anger out long ago but I just joke on him now
That’s what I was tryna figure out he looked old as shii😭. I was like 19 nawl somebody lying that’s a middle age man
She saw baby doc as a meal ticket and she ATE... Baby doc used her as an escape of his duties thats why he didnt choose a woman from his land... And i blame PAPA DOC, for being a hypocrite on the multato wife situation... I read your quotes on what dragon lady said ," as long as you don't owe anyone anything , you dont have to explain either" BUT, she do owe Haiti, she helped pillaged the damn economy..she should be in PRISON.... Criminal.
Haiti needs more love ❤ They really do, they need a leader that will truly love them, cherish them and protect them..they are good ppl and they have alot of heart.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮
He wife was born in Haiti, so what you talking about
Some Haitian people also have a lot of dark jealousy in them! 🙄
Michelle 's grotesque greed reminds me of Emelda Marcos.
Oh yes…Imelda and the 5,000 pairs of shoes! I remember that! They got run out of the Philippines the same time the Duvaliers had to leave Haiti.
@@s.malone2849 I thought the same thing
Yes i thought the same thing too!
Exactly.
Crazy because she's still living in paris with haiti's money while the people are still suffering, she has a whole facebook page crying about how bad she feels about how haiti is now, like girl you were part of why haiti is what it is 🙄
God bless Haiti and its people. They suffered so much by corrupt rulers.
And the wickedness voodoo!! 🤮🙄
Michelle was also married to Alix Pasquet Jr. He was the son of the man who tried to topple his father unsuccessfully, in 1958. That's why Duvalierist opposed that union.
I'm a Swiss person living in Tokyo, Japan. One time my friend, a Japanese hosted a party and one of the guest was from Haiti. She told us stories about this and we were just shocked. I said " that must be an era of hardship for Haiti". And she said " Every era is hardship in Haiti because to this day, Haiti remains very poor". It's just too sad.
There is no Justice in that country, filled with inocent victims.
An excellent example of a Godless nation and what becomes if it. They will always be poor and fighting because of their religious beliefs.
Yep! I was just thinking that!
Godless????? I am perplexed at these uneducated opinions.
@@reneewillis8308how is it godless when a majority of people are Catholics
Her story would make a great Hollywood depiction!! Too bad Beyoncé can’t act her way out of a paper bag , she would have been perfect ! But Zendaya could pull it off
Zoe Saldana I can see her. She kinda looks like Zoe Saldana
@@Bulldog-mi3om Yeah your right!! Both are rail thin , Zoe would be perfect ! I could see Will Smith as baby Doc ! Or Laz Alonzo 😍 either way, it’d make for a great motion picture
Or Thandie
@@mswmg9991she too old
@@winniejohnson5559 ohhh damn
Such a beautiful woman!!! But the entire situation was tragic! I had a close Haitian friend who told me what it was like to live in that Era growing up. The suffering and unfairness the people went through.
Whatever they were saying, this era was the best. Yes I grew in that era too
It was great for some and I am one of them. Now I know better and others were suffering.
@@emyleewong3600 compared to what? Are you comparing the era to a life in hell?
This is so on time for me! I have started to research places that have derogatory reputations in the media that consist of our people and Haiti is one of them. I am so grateful to you that you present Haiti in it's great and down era as well! I have read disturbing information about Mother Teresa as well! Thank You for your research and fairness!
Not Mother Theresa! Do tell please. 🙏
Do tell please!!!
Make sure Turks And Caicos is on your list and don't leave Lisa Raye out! 😊
@@moondancerose7930 She watched people suffer- it was supposed "noble" and was money motivated allegedly.
Please continue to do your research. Haiti's bad luck started long before the Duvalier. If you are serious about your research, my husband has a collection of Histoire D'Haiti in creole starting from our Queen (Anacarona )it is truly fascinating and sad.
Do a show on Robert Maugabe's wife. They called her "Gucci Grace"
That’s a great request! Yes ❤
Would be nice if you could refrain from heavy attack on Grace Mugabe just because she's dark skinned. Would be nice if you give her the same gentle treatment you gave Michele and Ma Doc.
....and a show on Jamaica's greedy corrupt female prime minister Portia.
Lol.
@@user-oz8er3ho5mwhen has Karine ever been harsh to dark skins?
I am haitian and I thank you so much for this video! 🇭🇹
My pleasure sis 🇭🇹❤️♥️
Can I ask a question respectively is Haitian Jack apart Duvalier family also did the Kenndy administration put embargoes on Hati 9:00
This response speaks volumes!
Y'all s people stay tripping. Tell them to give Jesus Christ a try.
Good for you Karine! The Duvaliers should never be forgotten or forgiven. History repeats. Can't wait to watch this. Thank you.
Haiti's bad luck did not start with the Duvaliers. We should go back a bit in history.
Haiti's opportunist rather than luck@@user-tt7ft6us9r
The way I've waited for a video of her!!! Omg I've looked everywhere thanks Karine
My pleasure! Thank you for watching ❤❤
Poses the question if she was assigned to Duvalier to drain Haiti’s finances and further plunder the land of resources….a plant. A Delilah to Samson.
Obviously. Not only that but both father and son died similarly. They were definitely taken out. The whole point of this is to keep Haiti a failed state. They took out 8 million and ran to France with it. That screams double agent to me. And I'm not even Haitian. Once again France got their money and threw them back out after.

Of course. Evil. They always come in bearing gifts and good deeds
It’s not just “being exotic” the colorism in the Caribbean is sooooooo bad
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The old saying is always true.
Years ago I would have gleefully listened to the accounts of them but current news of Haiti 🇭🇹 is so overwhelming that I’ll have to comeback to this later.
I'm so sorry! I can understand why ! I remember that Mother Teresa reference.
The church that I attend has an orphanage and a school in Haiti for the past 40years and we hear reports each Sunday on what’s going on there.
The gangs are in total control. They’ve even gotten equipment to run over and demolish police stations and have kìlled police officers, as well.
The prime minister has now left the country and they gangs have taken over the streets.
We send much money each week and those in charge of the orphanage and school need to go out to the market to stock up on food for the children there (especially since the gangs have now taken over the ports also and it isn’t clear how long people will be able to get food at all or how much if will be sold for by the gangs if they do get it) but there is fear of being robbed and carjacked in the streets once they go outside.
There is total lawlessness. For all of this, please keep Haiti in your prayers. 😔
Bye Felicia
@@noble604 I will send out prayers for Haiti!!
You Haitian people should have not been worrying over money being spent by the dragon lady. Haiti were at their best. Now look at Haiti. Awful. Maybe, it was the voodoo. But I know you Haitian were doing good while dragon lady ruled.
I just never could understand how black folks in power continue going to them folks for their needs. There are plenty of black designers, lawyers, etc.! I'm 57, and I remember this....
It's about status , the black designers don't scream status,
It's there choice and African's likes to get there fashions from abroad but if they want African attiers they go to Africans cause that's where Africans are excellent because it's there's but Africans going to white people for their business nothing is wrong with it
It’s never about color , that’s what they want us to think . It’s about power and control ! We need to stop this color thing and our people this our people that when our own people our black skin have turned on us just like the whites or whatever else races ….
@@purplelove3666 They would if they were getting support from black people in power. If Michele had been wearing clothes from a Haitian designer, the clothes from that designer would have screamed status from being associated with her.
The tea is, Michelle is not black she’s mulattos, baby doc himself is half mulatto and black!
Mulatto Haitians don’t consider themselves black at all
She was like Marie-Antoinette of this age..wow...let them eat cake😢
😂😂😂😂 Marie Antoinette never said that. It's already been dealt with. This woman is polar opposite and extremely different from Marie Antoinette.
More videos on Haitian figures should be added to your list. Great video!
More to come! Thank you 🙏🏼♥️
Yes, please, and a Mother Teresa also. I have heard rumors 👀 of not so Saintly things! I am intrigued.
Yes absolutely, please do more. I remember my parents talking about the dictator & Michelle 🫤
Gratitude for sharing this information.
My former co workers from Haiti used to tell me about Papa and Baby Doc however they didn't ever speak about Baby Doc's mom or wife.
Ps A few years ago I learned that The U.S. stole Haiti's gold reserve of $500,000 in 1914 .Plus the 90 million francs ($20 billion) paid to France and the natural disasters Haiti has endured a lot.
The reason no one held them women accountable is because they are fair skinned. This is a sickness endemic to the previously enslaved in the Americas. It's the same in South America and US.
His fair skin kept him from being chased globally as a criminal.
No, his money did!!
Haiti have been robbed by the US and France.
@@user-oz8er3ho5mIt's only seen as fair skin by other black people, not Europeans. To them, no matter how light we are on the spectrum, we're Ns. Even more so in France, speaking from personal experience with that particular country.
As a Haitian I love this! I learned so much from both the Duvalier vids. My grandpa was almost tried for treason twice during the papa doc era. Its amazing to actually learn more context about the stories my grandpa would tell me. I truly look forward to more vids about Haiti’s history like this.
aristide please actually id love if you could do all of haiti’s rulers. you have educated us so much on so many we’d love to know more about your country! please, i’d trust no one else to do it better.
An amazing presentation as always. I have never heard of the dragon lady until just now. Thank you.
The fact that they she built Hospitals shows me she started out with great intentions. It’s so sad that the economy crumbled. It sounds like people just needed somebody to point the finger at because things were going wrong. She sounds like a good person deep down. Money always brings out the worst in people. PLEASE do a Mother Theresa video!
I am not talking about her,but some people might start good with the intention to gain trust and do evil.
There's nothing good about her. She's living a lavish life in France of all places with stolen money and has never been brought to justice. The "coffee" business her family was involved in was actually a front for a coca!ne business.
She was a divorcee/baby momma that sunk her claws to the biggest gaga (aka dope in kreyol) with the most power in the land. Can't wait for karma to come knocking at her door.
@@purplelove3666Exactly!
She was always ambitious.
@@purplelove3666exactly! In fact, most evil people do good so that their detractors can be combated by things like “but what about the charity?” what about the hospitals?” Etc. it’s PR. It’s all about image.
Its pretty much every dark skinned black mans dream low key to be with a lighter woman.
Yes!!! FAXXX
That is not accurate
I’ve noticed that. Closer to whiteness
So lighter women shouldn't experience love. Why is it a problem when a light skin woman is with a black skin man ???
My own parents are like this, dark skinned father and a very light skinned mother. Thankfully my mom is anti-colourism and taught us self love not hate but damn it is a pattern for sure
That’s a HARD 19. Sheesh!
😂
The checker board design on the floor told me everything I needed to know.
Looking at that wedding dress now in 2024 especially the headpiece I’m divorced if I ever get married again, I’m definitely gonna have a designer to copy that because I ain’t gonna lie. It’s beautiful.❤❤❤❤
I said the same... Lemme remember that headpeace😅
I’ll say this, it’s definitely over the top lol 😂
I love these videos. Haiti has such a rich history and past..it’s a shame that this is all eclipsed by what’s happening today. I pray Haiti can rise again. I’m thankful for these videos
I love this whole Duvalier series. It's sad that they were never held accountable for stealing so much money from Haiti. You are right about Michelle being adamant about defending her legacy because I've seen her react and go off on those who speak out against her on her social media. She also seems to still be living the good life in France.
Can you do additional Haitian president series such as: Jovenel Moise, Michel Martelly, etc.
Come on, rich people are not held accountable In this world, you are going to have to wait till the day of judgement day
I love that you making longer videos and talking a deep dive into not just history, but your country's history I can't wait to hear more!
Thank you for delivering this political commentary from an unbiased point of view. As I said before, I'm looking forward to the video about the Clintons. Just be careful in these UA-cam streets, sis. 👀 These stories about Haiti from someone who is a proud Haitian are welcoming. 😊
Thank you for watching sis! And don’t worry, I am always safe, the Lord is my shepherd ♥️♥️
@@KarineAlourde 🙏🏾
Your content just keeps getting better and better. This was excellent. I see her in a different light now. Thank you Karine!
Wow something else I’ve learned today, damn
J'aime bien ces séries. Merci beaucoup.
A lot of black countries are ran the same way. Poverty and Corruption
Thank you the follow up video! Baby Doc and Michèle remind me of the Perons and the Ceausescus.
Indeed they do!
But this audience has probably no earthly idea of the Romanian and Argentine situations lol. They call her videos political commentary lol. These are all just entertaining. Very much so.
Perhaps that is why the monarchy fears Harry & Meghan returning to the UK. Meghan rules Harry and wanted to bend all the rules of the monarchy to her liking.
Well I do know about Argentina Evita or ave person and her husband . But I have not heard anyone speak of them in years like worse has happened
Real facts.
Great work my sister! As a first-generation American Haitian man, I appreciate your work.
This documentary and analysis of Baby Doc and his wife Michelle is certainly the most informative and comprehensive that I've ever heard and seen!
Thank you very much!
I love these stories from Haiti 🇭🇹 keep it coming, sister!
Wow I was riveted during this entire Documentary ❤ This period in Haiti's history would make a bombshell movie. I pray Haiti will one day finally have peace and a stable existence
Thier story is is almost exactly like the Israelites.
Ahab and Jezebel.
Athalia.
Watching and learning with my parents. 🇭🇹 Thank you. More please!
Yes thank you sis finally this story! I grew up in the 1980s in Haiti during this time. We my mom & aunts were married to the generals in the Duvalier regime. She was so evil & glamorous she was everyone's fashion idol. Thank you for this story!! ❤
My family fled Haiti because of these people... My great grandfather also went to school with Papa Doc.
Definitely interested in political figures. Would love for you to do a few on Jamaican prime minister’s from the 70’s 80’s, I think even the 60’s.
The present ones will extremely interesting with thier questionable investments, missing money and conflicts of interest positions in government - speaker if the house being the wife of the leader.. 🤔🤨
The Antiguan Prime Minister’s wife suddenly becoming a Minister in charge of Land!
One thing I know we love ❤️ the older prime Minister more like Edward Michael Busta Donald pj Patterson u hear what happened to his God daughter 😢 Andrew is ok
Karine could you do Mahatma Gadhi?
I prefer so much political figures than holliwood ones! Thank you!
Thank you Elizabeth! And I definitely will do one for him 🙏🏼
He was a racist
Wonderful topic! I did not know much about Michelle before this video. Thank you for giving us your unbiased perspective of her. She did many beneficial things and also some very nasty things toward the people of Haiti.
Karine, you did a great job on these documentaries. Keep em coming. I love it. ❤
I love your channel. These last two stories of the Duvalier regime in Haiti were so informative. Thank my Haitian sister for the political eye-opening history of our beloved 🇭🇹. Would love an Aristide video.
Prime example of pure evil hiding behind a pretty smile and extreme sex appeal !
It's because she's fair skinned. If a woman is evil and fair skinned, she's given a pass and flies under the radar. All others however will get skewered, especially by darkish people.
Thank you. I always enjoy videos about the Duvaliers.
I have been looking at your videos for sometime but never commented but your videos on Duvalier made me, They are excellent, thanks for making them, would love more on Haiti .
My families from Haiti but I was born in the US and grew up here, unfortunately, our school system does not cover Haiti, at all.
Hope the channel continues to grow
❤❤❤❤
Wow! Great presentation. One of your best Karine. Keep the good work. ♥ 💐 🌹.

Wow! I learned a lot! You never disappoint Karine. Thank you♥️🇭🇹🇭🇹
First day coming across your channel! I must say, how thoroughly I’ve enjoyed your mother Teresa, Papa Doc, & now baby and Michelle video. I will be elucidated by so many more of your videos, and for that I say thanks!
God bless, Karine.
This is such a great Channel. I get juicy tea but also enlightened on important history. ❤your research is awesome. Thanks for schooling us
How I twisted my ankle to click on this watch!
I remember watching the burning of Haiti as a kid at my family's house, while they told us of some stories of the dictatorship regime of Duvalier and Michele.
How lovely to be able to clap back on Facebook at anyone who comes for you while you guys fled with basically the vault of the country you were supposed to serve. It's hard to praise her "legacy" in feeding starving children when they left the country to fend for itself because in essence they robbed them. How lovely 😒
Sending prayers out to Haiti currently! Just heartbreaking 💔
I cannot wait for the Mother Theresa video. I have heard, so I look forward to your coverage on her!
I’m confused!! She lived a rich lifestyle, while her people suffered. She was providing free meals, healthcare. So what!! The money she spent belong to the people of 🇭🇹.
From what ive heard it's wasn't true.
My wife is haitian 🇭🇹 and her mother tells me stories about him and his dad.. Deep Stuff.. Outstanding Story Queen.. ..👍🏿💯💪🏿..
It is a shame when bm preach pro-black but will marry the women who are non-black. Smh. It sort of negates their point if view.
It's not a shame and I truly don't care
@@purplelove3666 It is to a degree because it negates what they are trying to preach.
@@purplelove3666 if you don’t care then the comment wasn’t meant for you
Same as men who preach about liking natural women, who don't wear makeup, etc but what they truly want is the opposite.
@@rosedavis2782 very true
Girl, at this point just make a whole series on this 😂
Voodoo, shapeshifting, corruption, poverty, murder, a dragon lady, etc…all that’s missing is a cheating scandal 😂
Where was the shape shifting
Girl the shape shifting is the comment I was looking for!!! YOOOO Michelle had so many faces in every pic until she SCARED me! Baby doc looked different in one pic with her. Then didn't they say in the beginning of the video that she was eating kids? Imma have to rewind 😲
Yesssss 😂
@@bella_bella85she looked the same to me ! She was beautiful !
A popular saying in Haiti is "Haiti is 70% Catholic, 30% Protestant, and 100% Voodoo". There's a movie and a book called The Serpent and the Rainbow which confirms this
I have never seen Michelle or Mama Doc look like. I appreciate you doing this a lot . I was born same year baby doc left Haiti. I don't remember much except what I was told. I remembered them telling me they had to hide one of Uncle so the mob didn't burn him alive like they were doing all the macoute.
She was no worse or better than many women that were married to dictators at that time in history. All I know is that under the Duvalier government Haiti was a stable country with very little crime and at that time Haitians were proud to be Haitians. Looking back Haiti has never been as stable or safe since the ousting of President Jean Claude Duvalier.
Thank you!! I agree with this comment. Let’s really look at all of the history of Haiti. Things have been really bad for Haitians since democracy came. There was a time where the country was stable and it was really during baby Doc’s reign. I have family from that time and they said he was nothing like his father.
are you crazy. this man and his goons were out here murdering and raping people. scaring people is not peace
Exactly I’m 31 years old my parents always saying how beautiful and clean how being Haitian was a big thing we were respected everywhere Haitians were not getting the treatment they getting now from Dominicans people were respectful the country was safe there were no gangs it’s funny how people always talking how evil the Duvalier were how they’re stole billions all is bs schuippssss
Finally someone understands being the grandson of assistant general for Duvalier regime , i was told once the flag went to black&red duvalier regime everything flourished on the island but once it went back to blue&red down hill it went
Thank you. Say it loud. That was the best era, people used to sleep with their doors opened and could eat at least once a day.
I’m Haitian and appreciate the thoroughness of this video. The Dragon Lady and Baby Doc were the enemies of Haiti. Michelle reminds me of the French queen that was beheaded by the people-she would’ve said,”Let them eat cake!” I explained in my book, “America’s & France’s 1,000 Year War Against Haiti: Assassination of a Nation” written by King Kevin Dorival 🇭🇹🖤👑
The Dragon Lady title seems a bit harsh but maybe she did breathe fire on the Haitian people, LOL. Your book 1,000 Year War Against Haiti sounds like a must read. When and where can I get your book? Please share the link. Maybe @KarineAlourde will interview you--ask her.
It's some peak rich girl behaviour to televise a glitzy fundraiser to the people you're raising money for. A lot of her mistakes seem to stem from her failure to recognise the issues of class divide. She doesn't seem like a bad person, but she does seem ignorant to the fact that people don't want your sympathy if you have perfectly good money to give them instead, and she certainly had enough money to go round if she had chosen to share.
I’m here for the History breakdown ❤
Enjoyed the episode keep them coming
Thanks for this video! ❤
The French rpaed everything and destroyed what they touch. To this day.
repaying reparations to a country that once worked Haitians for free crippling ,but whats more worrying is how any countrys citizens of men weren,t resourceful enough to make their own economy
The Haitians destroyed everything that could help sustain life and build up their economy.
Doesn't she live in France?

Not the Haitians. The elites did, like papa doc, Baby doc and their wives.
While people starved they lived lavishly
I thoroughly enjoyed your video on Papa Doc.
You a real one for this video boo
She was a modern day Marie Antoinette, and there wasn't one darker skinned person at that benefit party, yeah they deserved whatever came to them.
Racist.
This has been my favorite one. Watched more than once. ❤❤❤
as a fellow Haitian, thank you Karine for shutting light on the stories
It happened to my mother when she was a child, but with Michele Duvalier's sister ( I forgot her name and weirdly I can not find her on the internet anymore) My mom was around 6 years old and was playing in front of the house. My grand-grand grandma and my grandma were sitting in front of the house talking when a black limousine drove by. Minutes after, the limousine car came back and parked in front of the house and Michèle's sister came out. She got closer to my mom and started talking to her telling her how much she was cute and such. My grandma and a couple of others from the neighborhood gatherd around. She was asking if she could take my mother with her. My grandma plead with her. Michèle's sister litteraly tried to negociate into buying my mother as a child. She than gave up and left. My mother said it was a known thing around the area that the Bennett's sisters would take children.
So they were just buying children? Wtf
26:02 - 28:42 nah that's INSANE! I gasped🥴
The nerve, the audacity, the disrespect, the delusion WHEWW!
Me too 🙆🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Its very interesting how stories like this have played out for hundreds of years over and over. I think people turn their power over to the wrong place and then feel like victims over and over and over. Stop it. Lol❤
