Who brought the black Haitians to Haiti? Did they stay there voluntarily during white European rule?
Details matter.

I don't see how being brought to Haiti matters. Imagine some white settlers brought as children who have just become young adults. Do they need to go back to France?

It does matter if they were brought as slaves and against their will, and made by force to call Haiti their home. I hope you see the difference between this and the children the settlers brought with them. Comparing children to slavery is nonsense.

The point is not that they were in Haiti. The point is that they were engaging in slavery, and they had the freedom not to.
I was not making any statements on settler colonialism which is a separate issue entirely. I was just saying, the French cannot claim be victims when they were the ones engaging in slavery.
