The development of Caribbean music.

Would love to know, your views on Caribbean not knowing/proud/ ignorant to being African. And who was in the Caribbean b4 they were stolen from African? And your views on what I just said please. Look forward to hearing

I love your videos my sister

@Muse Verdant So they say ......

Absolutely correct! We were converted to christianity to Make the slaves more submissive hence why they used the bible n quoted scriptures saying God said to turn the other cheek , God said to obey your earthly masters as you would obey christ... Knowledge Is Power much love from Trinidad also!

@@herbopil6569 which means they had a knowledge of the bible prior to contact with Europeans.

Don't be fooled, not everyone that says they are Christian are true Christians. For example Roman Catholicism is a mixture of Christianity with pagan practices. The truth about this life can only be found in the scriptures of the Bible which came before all this happened. God is our creator and human sin and the deception of the devil causes a lot of evil and suffering in this world. God is not the problem, sinful mankind believing the devil's lies in this world instead of the truth of God's word in the Bible is the problem.

talk that talk queen. ✊🏾💯

NO! Y’all do that Voodoo & Hoodoo mess and that’s the Devil!!! Bottom line!

Cold reality to it is you weren’t kidnapped. Most likely another black sold you out to the white man. Just a Pawn on the Chest board and Money is Queen

@@billphil846 Africans were kidnapped... We didn't sell our people.

@@ndifrekeotu9086 some of them were traded by their leaders for the advanced firearms that the Europeans had

@@ndifrekeotu9086 that's incorrect, crazy you know nothing about your own people

It was not uncommon for African woman especially in poverty who had say 10 children to simply sell off some of her offspring into slavery.

Hi is a go to with

Aw I'm so happy to hear that! I hope & pray you do well on your exam!

Peter Wani: It is true. It was mainly the Nigerians that sold their people.

Lol first of all Afro-Caribbean’s is just an ancestral branch of Alkebulan (later called “Africa” by a Roman-European general). We are all connected in melanin & in our rich history that many forget. They don’t teach about the great Patrice Lumumba who was assassinated by Europeans... M. Garvey a Caribbean who founded the Pan-Alkebulan (African) Movement which proves that we are all linked in our origins fam. The European-whites are who separated us, told us “you’re different, no you’re better” to make you forget the greatness we come from. How black people as a whole have roots to Alkebulan (Africa) in every single continent on Earth. See? “I kno how fa talk de crio” if I need to but I’m Northeast African/East African lol. Don’t separate. Let’s learn to LOVE our Melanin. 🖤💯 TANK-E!

👋🏾♥️🇹🇹 Hope you come back... after Covi‼️ I will visit your country in a few years. Looking into spending part of my year in ? State in Africa.🤔 Not sure where yet‼️ Now hooked on Nigerian shows.. lol.

Hi we are special we are we are Royal

CAR AH B UN... nor Ca rib e un. !

Hi thanks for watching, I totally agree with you. Language is important and key. This video was made 3 years ago when I was a college sophomore studying as an African American Studies Major. Had I made this video within the past 2 years or now, I would have definitely been more cognizant of how I worded certain aspects of my lesson. We were enslaved, not inherently slaves. Thanks for the input! 100% agree with you.

Lyndsay Elizabeth I’m pleased to hear you say that because most of us use language that enslaves the mind

Actually NOBODY “captured” anyone! Africans sold their own people to us Europeans to be enslaved! Get it right!!! Bc either way you’re little African ancestors look like crap. They sold off their own people, or in you’re delusional mind they were captured. IF they were captured, then why didn’t their families or any Africans fight back and try to save their people huh??

@@tinydancer867 right- they voluntarily walked to the coast and into the ships

@@tinydancer867 I don’t know why you chose to insult these Africans and their diaspora cousins! Where in Africa was there an auction? What money was used? Pesos, Guilders, Sterling pound, dollars, Kroner? None of these currencies was ever useful to Africans in the 15th, 16th,17th,18th and 19th centuries! Again Industrial Revolution happened at the early stages of 19th century when slaves became redundant! In the Guyanas 9 horses was equal to 1 matured slave! Remember cotton is a tropical plant and Africans started wearing clothes from cotton a couple of millennials before our ancestors had it in Europe. They used jute clothes in the Summer time and leather in the Winter months! So what did our European forefathers have to exchange for the slaves? Please don’t say guns! Those Africans weren’t easy to deal with and again any fool would have turned the guns on the Europeans and robbed them dry! It didn’t happen! Europeans arrived with armed militias. They captured these spears and arrows warrior Africans where possible. Again they obtained prisoners of war by fighting alongside weaker kingdoms to conquer stronger kingdoms, taking sides in many African state, and tribal wars. The African winners were glad to see their enemies carried away because of future revenge!( example:battles of Kromantin between 2 royals of the same clan)! In Benin, at the port city of Widah, there was European quarters, a district of the city where the Europeans could thrive easy under its militia! Portuguese, Dutch, French, Danes and later the British! The King of Benin Hurron who stood against the raids(even his guards were victims) was captured and exiled to Elba by the European residents and replaced with Terrifon, his teenage nephew to give way to slave capture. This happened under the captaincy of D’sousa, a Brazilian born Portuguese with his biracial son,assistant( documented facts)! Industrial Revolution resulted to slaves redundancy where new founded engines took the place of slaves! Slaves became redundant and Europeans in the Americas were in fear of the overwhelmingly huge black population! These blacks were shipped first unto the Caribbean islands. The rest was later shipped by The British Canadian government to the first African resettlement location around 1800 in Sierra Leone( capital, Freetown)! The success of this settlement prompted America, in particular the Carolinas(south mostly) to ship theirs to Liberia under the leadership of Monroe, thus Monrovia, its capital city around 1845! European forefathers were in power of major African cities. The success of Industrial Revolution led to the acquisition of more and better raw materials in Africa to feed these new industries, thus the beginning of colonisation. African nation states became the battle grounds of Europeans powers leading to the Berlin conference and partition of Africa. Abolition of slavery didn’t come out of moral recognition but redundancy of slaves! In fact Canada shipped out black residents to replace them with refugees in tatters of the collapsed Austria-Hungarian empire! Again The Carolinas got rid of their black slaves to be replaced by our economic refugees running from Irish potato famine of 1845-1849! These indentured servants that couldn’t afford the passage had to work for a period of time for their sponsors to cover their transportation cost! Again no slave trade in Africa but slave capture. Slave trade happened only in the Americas. There are still ledgers, accounts books, other documents in details of every slave auction in the Americas yet not a single account in Africa, nor is there any auction site! Question: What about the “Slavery of the Pacific Islanders” in the Antipedes? Did we buy the Australian Aboriginals and the Maoris as well?

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed the video! Big Up!

That’s cool

Yes indeed, she is very articulate, eloquent and well researched...as far as citations and sources, you can try wikipedia for a start and this will give you a glimpse of what she has most eloquently simplified here...more grease to her elbows!

Amen! Definitely a woman of strength that transcends generations. I didn’t mention her in this video, but I was thinking of making a video dedicated to her and the maroons! Thanks for your comment! Much respect

Lyndsay Elizabeth first Afro-Caribbean’s are just an ancestral branch of Alkebulan (later called “Africa” by a Roman general). We are all connected in melanin & in our rich, beautiful history that many forget. They don’t teach about the great Marcus Garvey a Caribbean who founded the Pan-Alkebulan (African) Movement, Haitians & 1814 which proves that we are all linked in our rich origins. The European-whites are who separated us, told us “ha no you’re different, no you’re better” to make you forget the greatness we come from. How black people as a whole are the only to have roots back to Alkebulan (Africa) in every single continent on Earth. “I kno how fa talk de crio well well” if I need to but guess what I descend from Northeast Alkebulan /East Alkebulan (African) lol.

Are you following Know Your Caribbean on IG?

@@alannamorris2947 I shall have a look

If your area has a Caribbean supermarket, you can find it there! Some places will even juice it for you!

My family owns the Island of Saba and I’m telling you now that we will NEVER pay anyone compensation! Bottom line! If you don’t like that, who cares, bc you have NO say over our land and my family!

@@tinydancer867 bye Karen why are you so mad? 😩

Me too! I always say that we have some of the strongest ancestors because they had to endure so much, but was still able to hold onto small bits of their African heritage and build a new culture from that.

Yes many were sold but many were captured too.

Isn't she African American?
