Haitian street protest sign ask our forefather Dessalines to curse all the sons and daughters of Petion

Take a good look at this photo, an anti-government street protest a sign in Haiti reads "Papa Desalin, Madichon pou tout pitit Petion yo." (Our forefather Dessalines, curse all the sons and daughters of Petion)

Jean Jacques Dessalines and Alexandre Petion is to Haiti what George Washington and Thomas Jefferson is the United States. So imagine a sign in a street protest in the USA that reads "Georges Washington, curse all the sons and dauthers of Thomas Jefferson."

You will NEVER see a sign like that as long as you live!

This sign is from a street protest in Port-au-Prince Haiti back in June 19 2014 when the opposition demanded the departure of President Michel Martelly from power. At the head of the protesters was Depute Arnel Belizaire a fierce opponent of the Martelly-Lamothe administration.
