Haitian Cannibalism
To quote a case or two of these judicial attempts at punishment:
-A woman and her daughter, convicted red handed at Jacmel of killing and eating a child, were mounted on asses and beaten arond town by the police with cocomacaque clubs. Afterwards they were released.
How does one explain such light punishment for cannibalism in late 19th century, early 20th century Haiti?
In the other described case the culprits were only punished by being jailed for a few days.

Probably because their government is corrupt and doesn't want to change shit without money?

>cocomacaque clubs
Aren't people supposed to be cursed to die the next day after being beaten with such clubs?

You missed the point. The said people were punished but their crime was treated as a light offense.
It just seems to me that Haitians still believed cannibalism was normal back then which is disturbing to think about.

No? The book describes the culprits surviving and being let go.
A human can survive quite a beating.

>crime
I got the point already. The government is corrupt and doesn't want to change the laws.

Cannibalism is not lawful problem but a moral problem.
Only a sick society is okay with people eating children.

Then you are refering to their moral heritage?

Why are people so shocked by negroids being called negroes? It makes more sense than calling them black
