Haitians had a dead White baby on a spear as their flag for many years. They genocidedvthe Whites on the island 11 years after the end of slavery, then killed all the mixed race a few years later.
Yes, I read Camp of the Saints years ago at Rod Dreher's recommendation. I wish I'd stolen my library copy because the publisher refuses to reprint the English translation and copies are now going for $250 each.
It's a great book. It's a terrible book. It's a disgusting book. It's a scary book. And the reason is that, like Nietzsche, Raspail is brutally honest about the real world.
If you haven't read Michel Houllebecq's Submission, I highly recommend it. It's not as brutally racist as Camp of the Saints at all, but the theme of the book (an exhausted French civilization that can't be bothered to defend itself from a slow speed invasion) is similar. When it was published, the idea of the French Left allying with Islamists parties to keep the National Front (so-called far-right) out of power seemed far-fetched. Less so today.
As for Haiti, there's nothing that can be done. I have a branch of my family tree that is simply dysfunctional. They will consume any amount of help given to them, but nothing will change. Magnify that to the scale of a country, and you get Haiti. However, unlike Africa (another dysfunctional place that we ignore), Haiti is right next door. So containment is important. I'm thinking of the 1980's movie Escape from New York...
Camp of the Saints was a great book, a fast forward and caricature of the inevitable result of our times.
I believe certain regions of the U.S., such as Louisiana, could go down that route. Goodness knows they're already in perennial corruption scandals. The slight nudge of a national collapse would do no good for that problem.

Evil is never to be trifled with or underestimated.
