, while the ruling class of St. Domingue was busy worrying about the French Revolution, the slaves took advantage of the squabbling and revolted. Under the leadership of Toussaint Louverture, the slaves managed to overthrow the government. In 1804, Haiti was declared a free country. Other countries also took advantage of European distraction to break free. After the French Revolution, Emperor Napoleon was stomping all over Europe. He had invaded Spain and Portugal. In Mexico in 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rallied Native Americans and mestizos, or people of mixed Native American and Spanish heritage, to fight for independence.

How should we deal with collective responsibility for racism?
Yuki888 [10]
You think some more about what happened on your way home. You realize that your colleague is but one person; who knows how many other people out there think like her? It helps to change people's racial stereotypes and attitudes, but the only way real change can come about is if our institutions and systems implement policies that promote racial equality. You suddenly feel angry. What if redlining still goes on because real estate companies are filled with people who think like your colleague? What policies exist to stop such institutionalized prejudice?
