My remarks below derive from my having worked and lived in the Caribbean and several countries in Africa, particularly Angola and Mozambique.  Also my remarks are based on my being a Christian in the tradition of Jesus-Christ with respect for all and for the truth.

Voodoo stereotyping is racist, obsolete and based on untruthful statements and ideas. Thus to damn a country, the first democratic attempt in the whole of the Latin America sub-continent, and the first African American attempt to eliminate slavery, and successful at that and in itself another reason for its damning by some, is unacceptable, not charitable and un-Christian. Most of all is NOT TRUE.
