Conan’s Haitian History Lesson | CONAN on TBS 

Nicely put. Agreed.

I totally agree

He has a modesty and honor to others underlying his substrate.

Yes he is

500th like

He did the same with the protesters in Palestine. He doesn't hide from people who are passionate in his beliefs.

There are many journalists who do what Conan is doing. They are just not in the mainstream media, cause mainstream media has no interest on it, sadly.

He made me cry by doing this.

@Blue Girl I don't understand why are you are commeting on a 5 month old comment.

I believe it, not sad enough not devastating enough. Shows there are passionate souls and individual human beings who have feelings, ya know? We want to see monsters and crap...

but he never makes a mistake ever.

Yeah

“Nice try, but sadly you are wrong”. Lol

@@cjpockets what are you talking about?

uku it was a reoccurring bit called “fan corrections” where the fans were never right. RU-vid it and educate yourself.

I disagree. Whose fault it is that Trump became president in the first place? It's the Americans' responsibilty to choose their own leader. It's like you shot your own foot and then blame the gun for shooting yourself.

@@burritodoge8450 it's more like someone handed you a bb gun and you pointed it at your wall and it turned out to be a grenade launcher

@Lone Wanderer 45% or 34% is still a very high number though. Almost half of Americans approved of him.

It’s the same with America. We don’t have a problem with the people from Haiti. We have a problem with the government and it’s corruption, organized crime, drug trafficking and gang violence. Same as any country in the same predicament.

@@burritodoge8450 all american leaders are messed up

Like North Korea, American media tries its best to make look its own country as the best country in the planet. I wonder how much info about northern european countries its shown in american TV.

@@karti9117 he's comparing the US to NK dude, you're off topic

Not at all.

@@graviler2514 Hey loser, first of all go to school receive, some education on grammar and second of all, America is one of the world's smartest countries, and also, every country in the world try to be the most powerful and best country on the planet, so go back to your third-world country and cry some more.

@@vibingman5529 "receive, some" correct it later

Shaniece Singleton I've met others like him but yes I agree he is a beautiful soul 4 sure.

I actually wish he was the president. Haha.

When did u meet him?

He even showed Conan what yoga is not just flexing, its meditation and much more

There are alot of James out there most people arent ugly inside

Agreed.

jimmy bbq wants you for dinner

He visited a scene tourist area of a country wracked with corruption and violence to minimize its cultural and political problems. A country that is now literally run by a cannibalistic gang.

well he sure did bring the people together like jimmy BBQ did in his stomach

Does eating one another count as bringing people together? Conan spawned one of the most horrifying cannibal dystopias in world history.

PietreADI - What??? You don't like Africans or Haitians?

Haha... great model Haiti. What great infrastructure, economy and wealth!!!? Hahaha

@@ILiveAndBreathe at the beginning he spent a minute and 23 seconds explaining why they have problems today... you could probably make that into a 3 hour movie, but if you can't get it in under a minute and a half, whats the point?

Simba Just a typical Trump supporter

They hit the Applause button

that really was heart-warming.. Conan really has a gift :)

he impressed me with that ;i think he s very clever and he understand people better than any other

@PietreADI atleast she smart enough not to make childish insults on youtueb

@PietreADI Especially because she believed Conan would ever stay there no matter who is president. He knows it's a shithole country he just doesn't say it out loud.

@PietreADI shut the helll up already

It was a joke yes...ofc nobody wants to live in Haiti...this post didn't age well 😂😂😂😂

Defo didn't age well

is he going to stay there now with the new leader Jimmy BBQ? lol

…and then they 8 him.

Lol, you're probably a Trump supporter, right?

the power of comedy....and a fistfull of dollars and an editorial cut...

SuperAwesomeCaptain McFluffyPants presidan jean bertr arisid

WOW, IT'S LIKE.. PEOPLE HAVE EMOTIONS... THAT CHANGE! D: ILLUMINATI!

SuperAwesomeCaptain McFluffyPants Yes and you watch CNN, a super corrupt news organization that has literally fabricated stories about drowning refugees, stop being a brainwashed idiot.

Sana Kamran and gorgeous lol

Jessica Zamora sis he fine right

yeah ,when he smokes weed with his hair

@@rusty1370 Weed is extremely ilegal in Haiti, and people mostly smoke Tabacco and eat Mushroom rather.

He's really handsome!

VibrantBass why, bc he opposes Trump? 😂

100% loser crow killer troll doesn't explain.

^ Bingo.

Conan is the best talk show host in the last 75 years, oops, was TV invented then

Cohen Obrien might have the best roundmouth out of all the late-nite televitz hacks.

I am american, please learn the tragedy of Dessalines. Good man who with the help of Toussaint louverture , Henry Christopher and the population created and took back Haiti from the french. Just like here in the usa walk over the fact that Jefferson and Washington had slaves So does history white wash (no pun intended) Dessalines part in history. He was a good man but power got to him and he became a Draconian ruler who eventually had everybody hating him. He was hacked by the very same people who saved and his body was fed to the pig. LESS YOU THINK THIS HAPPENED IN A VACUUM AND WE AMERICA DID GET AFFECTED.. ( just for emphasis not screaming). This was one of the main reasons we were able to purchase the Louisiana purchase. The french could not defend the territory if the US just wanted to walk in and take it. As it no longer had a military to defend the expansive land. And that is why we have the Creole culture and people in that area.n Land of Dixie was reference to the 10 french dix bill dollar ... Have fun learning and correcting me. All I ask is look at more than once source not just wikileaks. Now you see why it was so funny when Conan kept saying this island. How beautiful is America that it would allow this situation to occur. To have a private citizen and industry stand up and say... he WE are not all full of hate for you. I just so love my country usa. WE are not perfect , but we sure don't look the other way when we know we are wrong.

Trevor Miles wow you really had a lot to say

Conan is a history and literature major at Harvard. I'm sure he knows about him--he either snapped at that moment or was just playing. His focus was on American history I believe--so he must have known more about the Haitian revolution than we think he does.

@@wingedhussars5576 he actually mentions dessaline in the intro of haiti history im going to assume that he misheard

@@geoggernaut lol in truth, practicing my writing. You guys are good qualified critics . NO sarcasm implied.

Its certainly no shithole and only a few hundred cannibals so thats cool.

Did you see the video when Conan went to the classroom and the little girl made an impassioned speech about how they didn't need help from the US and how we were going to come and take their stuff? When watching this video the woman immediately made me think of the little girl.

@@EMAYisMCA did the little girl hug Conan in the end?

@@Kinobambino no. He was sitting in a car.

@@EMAYisMCA link now

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.

@Liberty or Death Libertarian pricks like you accused the Clintons of raping Haiti. Do you think they should be universally grateful to American politicians?

@Liberty or Death Funny how you libertarian idiots always lick the boots of big corporations that run the government yet fly a flag that says "dont tread on me"

@Liberty or Death It isnt only used by the military anymore though, its been tarnished by a bunch of racist idiots who act like they are libertarians in order to push their hateful agenda. An example being my neighbor flies that flag and a confederate flag and is a known racist. Im surprised you actually believe those things because a lot of alt right people are calling themselves libertarians now in order to make their hateful beliefs seem more reasonable. I agree that Hillary sucks, but I dont understand why its Haiti's fault for asking for aid from the US when the reason they are continuously in shitty situations is because of us. They're infrastructure would be better had we not meddled in their politics for so long.

Who doesn't have a problem with the No.1 terrorists in the world, namely the American government?

Liberty or Death hey stupid. Did you not hear the part where we actually emptied their banks ?

It's fake conan. Hes suxking up to the lib crowd. It's pathetic.

Who is Biden the leader of?

@@Gobbersmack what does Juls comment from 3 years ago have to do with Biden?

maybe conan can go back now and help meditate

With the aid of his armed security team just off camera.

Except that's not true either. Americans are the ones who voted him into power to represent the people.

Alucard nope trump had less than half of the vote

Compare that 150 Millions american with 10 Millions wonderful haiti people..

Technically he didn't win the majority popular vote. He won by default. And probably some immoral, terrible other things we don't yet know about. Please don't generalize. He didn't get my vote. He doesn't represent me. At all. But his Presidency is a lesson. Just a stepping stone that this great country has been long over due for.

Nope.. You can't just throw your fellow american under the bus when you are also part of the problem. Why in the hell do you allow gerry meandering and electoral college happen in america? You don't do anything about it, you don't call your senator, etc.. If there's only 1-2% american behave like this, then you can call them minority just like ISIS, neonazi, etc.. But you can't do that when the portion is 48%..

They prefer dark meat

ikr 8:25 i died

lol even the translator laughed his ass off

Conan is like the drunk uncle that has No chill at family functions. 🤣🤣🤣

He always funny😂😂😂😂

With his armed security team off camera.

Daniel Brown balls,why?isn't that a beautiful,peaceful country with friendly people?

Yes but some Americans don't want to hear that their country has, uh, done some vacuuming in Haiti.

yeah because if they don't stay in a compound behind a barbwire fence like Conan they'll be killed.

If you think that writing down insults to throw at Trump and then writing them in French so they can understand, is having balls then you are a little dull. Its not what the Haitians are thinking. This whole thing is produced. Can’t you tell?

Does he have the balls to revisit Haiti today? No he does not.

No they don't teach them in high school, Haiti was ruled by US FOR 16 years 1915 to 1931. They killed the Haitian president as soon as they stepped in.

Americans live on fantasy island, thinking their country is the ''best'' that ever existed on Earth, which it couldn't be further from the truth. Most Americans really believe their country acts with good intentions whenever they invade another sovereign nation, spreading ''freedom and democracy''. That's why U.S. media is very careful not to show anything that might offend the American populace and keep people in the dark about its true intentions (this is both directed at Republicans and Democrats, before anyone says some partisan crap).

@@stan.pchannel6556 and change the educational system and the constitution to include the usa🤔changed education system to vocational instead of a normal system, and raped woman and killed over 15,000 Haitians good old America and Woodrow Wilson the devil

Umm the US had done this to plenty of countries and people not just Haiti. Example a country still being screwed by the US today: Puerto Rico

@@pelua_7903 Okay. Thanks for letting me know.

he's a peacemaker :)

He would even find something positive about North Korea or Iran. Doesn't make them good countries though.

"Doesn't make them good countries" There are countless good people who live in North Korea and Iran.

+Mexico

Yes, Conan is not disrespectful to OTHER cultures. Only to our president. Is the Conan show still on in Finland? Bet it isn't. Conan's ratings suck.

Liberty or Death being enslaved is not a way of life

THANK YOU JEFF. WE NEED THE GRACE OF GOD, MOST DEFINITELY AS AMERICA NEEDS TO GET RID OF TROMP IN 2022

Liberty or Death oh wow so slavery is the way of life now? 🤣 sad to see that another person which I assume is american is once again ignorant and invalid as your so call leader of the free world 🙄

@@marlynscadauphin1175 Haitians still have slavery despite of having the constitution condemning slavery.

Jeff Pape that does not mean moving them to the USA would fix anything... Rather it would keep Haiti from improving....

not really possible considering the whole capital is now ran by gang violence.

jason park thank u for sharing that

Don’t get that curse on you

Thank you

your dad or you are apex virtue signallers and either one of you or both are lying...........

Or they could be telling the truth.

haha yah, the Haiti translator even laughed. xDD

He majored in comparative literature

@@darklord220 Did he minor in history then?

Chris Moore expecially when he goes to the rich tourist areas.

Well, he doesn't want to be at risk of being killed or robbed. But he does acknowledge that part in the video.

He goes to and stays at the resorts. He's an out of touch Jew.

John Johnson I don't agree with his politics but he's not "SCUM". Come on, man. Would you say that to his face?

it's to show the seed of hate being planted by trumps words words are powerful one has to be careful of what one says as a human being specially when in power words can destroy bridges or build them

wdym?

But it's a gift to have the ability to mend with people, in any race, with respect, comedy, and knowledge.

This country is now controlled by human consuming gangs 😂 President Trump proven right yet again

Ali A because they know a shithole when they see it.

You fail to mention they would have lynched Conan if his security team and translator weren't there. Lmfao.

@@retiredshitposter1062 shut up we are not like y'all

Jimmy BBQ very polite, very respectful. Much better leader than trump I agree

Oh no the means things trump said. What about how Clinton is the one you made their country worse? Keep being a blue cult member and blame anything and everything on anyone but your own cult

Tormund Giantsbane is better

Conan is a prick. He knows Haiti isn't a great place, then proceeds to make rotten condescending remarks to James saying he wishes he was president of the United States.

💛🇭🇹❗

Bowing down to an angry mob typically works. It's not magic. It's pandering.

reicirith i speak Creole and yeah they left out a few words but it was pretty accurate

A few words were left out but the general message was interpreted

James Vergneau 2020 😃

To be more like him you gotta do some yoga

It’s Rasta thing

You act as if the US just came in and stole everything. US came to occupy the country because Haiti was in deep debt to America. It was also in complete chaos. It had assassinated/exiled 7, yes SEVEN different presidents in the four years before US occupied it. America came to instill an actual democratic system and constitution and collect the debts owed to America. Once America left again, President Vincent turned Haiti into a dictatorship, rewrote the constitution, expanded his power and crushed his opposition. Haiti was in a relatively good state when America left, but reverted back into a dictatorship once they were gone. So saying that America just occupied Haiti to steal it's wealth is false. They came to collect the debts owed to them and to return order to the country, which was quickly reverted once they left. I suggest you actually look into the history of Haiti instead of letting a late night talk show comedian tell you it. But most people wont because that would be too hard.

@Legionarus OP didn't say US, though.. He/she made a statement about stealing wealth which applies to most erstwhile colonial powers as well.

Here's a clue: just because some oversimplified liberal offers an "explanation" doesn't mean it's true. Go read some objective history books to find out what REALLY has been going wrong there. I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve giant vacuum cleaners hoovering out their gold.

Really? Here's a book for you: "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins. He was an "economic hit man" for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business. "Economic hit men are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars."

senselocke . so is intelligence

a good light? Did you watch or listen to more than 15 seconds of the video?!!! They showed a hostile woman blaming Americans for the condition of Haiti as if Americans are the ones throwing "trash and garbage in a lot of places" (3:32). Conan also went into a lot of detail about how corrupt the haitian governments have been. Conan also said Haiti has been destroyed by an earthquake and disease. Conan also said Haiti has been dealt the worst hand in the western hemisphere. how is any of that "a good light"? It sounds like you just wanted an excuse to write a comment so that you could boast about being a missionary. If you knew the bible, you wouldn't be boasting (Matt 6:3).

And you kwon who support all those military goverments? On how much money the US have spent supporting their dictaitorships? We cannot blame they for everything, but we also cant ignore their part of the resposibiliy.

Brett Strong I know how Haiti and I am not denying that Haiti does not have problem. They I have problem and they are a long way before becoming a diesen country. My sister is 14 and my brother is 13. What Trump said effected both if them. I don't want to see my brother and sister to be said. I am only 16 to.

You can´t be in Dog position in Haiti.

Conan made this comment, at 1:14: "in 1915, the U.S. invaded to impose stability, while also removing the gold from the Haitian national bank." This is true. What Conan didn't mention is that some of this gold was owned by American citizens: In 1915, 'United States citizens owned perhaps 40 percent of the stock in the National Bank of Haiti'. Source: www.americanforeignrelations.com/O-W/Wilsonian-Missionary-Diplomacy-Intervention-in-haiti.html Some of the other gold was seized to pay off debts that the Haitian government owed to U.S. banks: 'In 1915 the United States, responding to complaints to President Woodrow Wilson from American banks to which Haiti was deeply in debt, occupied the country.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Haiti#United_States_occupation_(1915-34) 'Six months before the invasion, Marines had disembarked in Haiti and removed the equivalent in today’s terms of $11 million in gold from the National Bank of Haiti and transferred it to the National City Bank of New York, on the grounds that the funds might be needed to pay back U.S. bankers.' Source: www.socialstudies.org/sites/default/files/USInvadesHaiti.pdf Conan never mentioned all the free money the U.S. government has given to the Haitian government: 'The U.S. has been Haiti's largest donor since 1973. Between FY 1995 and FY 2003, the U.S. contributed more than $850 million in assistance to Haiti. ... The President's budget request for FY 2007 was $198 million. ... The largest earthquake ever recorded in Haiti's history occurred on January 12, 2010 and registered 7.0 on the Richter scale. ... On January 14 the Obama administration announced $100 million in humanitarian assistance to Haiti to meet its immediate needs, in addition to pre-existing funding appropriated for Haiti.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti%E2%80%93United_States_relations#U.S._economic_and_development_assistance_to_Haiti 'Remittances are the primary source of foreign exchange, equaling nearly 20% of GDP. ... primarily from the U.S.' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Haiti '2 million people of Haitian descent live in the United States ... Haitians who receive visas to immigrate into the U.S. (averaging over 13,000 annually in fiscal year 1999-2003)' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti%E2%80%93United_States_relations 20% of Haiti's income comes from remittances. And most are from the U.S. Who let all these Haitians legally immigrate to the U.S.? The American government. Why does Conan never mention any of these facts? Because he wants to paint a biased view that the U.S. government has been stealing from Haiti. The U.S. government is the bad guy. Conan is cherry-picking facts to suit his agenda. Trump does the exact same thing. Conan constantly bashes Trump and yet, here is Conan doing the exact same thing-fake news, a fake history lesson. Pretty phony, Conan. You let me down. I thought you were supposed to be a nice guy, a truthful guy. Obviously, you're not.

I watched since 1993 and I've always been impressed with his humor and ability to make people laugh. But something more incredible is here. In his remotes, is his ability to connect with people, to care about them, to pull people together in a world that mostly hates. #keepitupConan

Is it wirid I hit my heart 3 times reading this.

Steve Chu chill.

This is hilarious knowing that Haiti is currently on fire with protests and American citizens are trapped there!

It's a beauty. You can always count on the bigotry of low expectations coming from men like Conan.

I sense your sarcasm and I wonder, how exactly has this not aged well?

What do you mean haiti is still a paradise it's just the food is a bit different and the water is red. Oh and the screaming as people are thrown into mass graves. Leave it to Trumpers to demean the local costumes, amirite???

Nope. You're wrong. There are plenty of malevolent people who would love to see Western societies torn down. Not everyone is trying to "make the best" of life.. look at all the criminals, drug addicts, people with depression, nihilists, communists, hardcore racists, etc.. If you live in a 1st world country it's critical you only take in the best of the best. People like yourself have great intentions, but you're actually very dangerous because you try to push shitty policies on everyone else because it makes you feel morally superior. Logic and intelligence > Emotion.

Haha "best of the best"? Really? Why don't you apply that metric to AMERICANS themselves and take care of your mass shootings, obesity epidemic, public education, healthcare and overall decrease in morality? Racists love to blame immigrants for all of their problems but the truth is your country owes alot of its own problems to 100% red-blooded Americans. I could understand if Canada, Australia, Norway, Sweden, Finland or Iceland had this policy...they are actually havens to most people. But America...lol.
