In this episode I discuss my thoughts on the evolving kidnapping news out of Port-au-Prince and how white folks in Haiti need to take responsibility for their own bad decisions and wreckless actions in the country. I also wrestle with the complex question of what the international response should be in a situation like this. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-rainboth/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-rainboth/support
In this episode I dive into the current events unfolding at the southern border of the United States and the impact on Haitian refugees seeking a better life. It's a complicated and messy situation with no easy answers, but we gotta talk about it so we can lay bare the systems responsible that we each have a duty to contribute to breaking down. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lee-rainboth/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lee-rainboth/support

In my introductory episode of The White Man's Guide to Ruining Haiti, I share motivations for starting this podcast and take a quick look at the latest Haiti news. Then I share stories of my own pleasant experiences in some of the countries most notoriously dangerous neighborhoods, including the most refreshing (public) shower of my life. And I wrap up by complaining about white-boy-social-media-content-creators who exploit people's fears of places like Haiti to get views.
