This is PURE FACTS. As a Jamaican, we were taught this history by our parents. Colonialism played a significant role in the disruption of our people. Europe built their wealth on the backs of the slave trade. We cannot pretend that this history didn't occur. Thanks for sharing the facts of the slave trade.
Events like the Industrial Revolution had nothing to do with colonialism. Wealth in Britain was a along and complex thing that didn't boil down to slavery at all. Research how places like Blenheim Palace were funded.
More importantly than that though is to remember that initially it was blacl African kings selling other blacks to them..and eventually it turned out om them too
@@idratherbeaphilthanajustin9533 With respect you are incorrect and misinformed in your statement. It is indeed a complex situation, but the industrial revolution is inextricably tied to the slave trade and the wealth of the British empire through free forced labour I strongly suggest you do more research.
I went to an all Black School in Virginia an we studied a lot of what you are saying. It is great to see someone who is talking about this subject and explaining the Truth.
I am Jamaican born & a maroon..I grew up hearing about the monarchy. I see them as a bunch of thieves & slave masters.. Thank you for this information! Very informative!
@@judyparsons1333 Ancient Egypt never had chattel slavery. The only people in world history who did where Europeans.The Africans enslaved war captives but in African culture the enslaved still had human rights. Slavery wasn't an inheritance status.
BERYL,When you say that you are a “Maroon”,Question,How Many people who have seen your Post KNOWS WHAT A “MAROON” IS??.BERLY, I AM ALSO “MAROON” .I WAS BORN IN “ACCOMPONG TOWN,ST ELIZEBETH , JAMAICA.BABE. “OUT OF MANY ,ONE PEOPLE “....DUN NOW! BLESS.
Wow this is an absolute eye-opening shock to me! I took a snapshot of the map that the young man speaking showed with the dates that all of these countries detached from the monarchy. I have no idea but that many African nations and otherwise were “colonized“ by England. All stolen atrocities! I’ve never heard anything like this and I am 62 years old. Thank you so much! I am passing this recording on to everyone that I know will listen to it. Please continue to share your research with us 😊
And they are still trying their best to continue to hide it all. Because they wanted to and still want too keep it going that we are stupid and lying on them. We ain't see nothing yet wait until the chipped one take over they are just going to get worst look at what Charles is already doing in few weeks this incest family ramming evil people.
Because it is not taught in schools. The whole of Afrika was colonized by western powers. Only 2 countries of the 54 was never colonized. Ethiopia and Liberia. Fortunately we have the internet now so people can educate themselves on this very important world history that was deliberately ignored.
No separating the legacy of the queen & the struggle of Melanated ppl! Thank you for this history lesson. We WILL learn the truth of history in spite of wp banning or burning books. Black ppl have always been denied some access to books & education requiring creative methods of accessing knowledge & information. It's time to kick it into high gear to shorten this learning curve for our children grands & greats! Thank you thank you THANK YOU ALL!
King Charles was dethroned because England did not want CATHOLICISM. King charles was treated like a scavenger a pauper. This is WHY Queen Elizabeth brought back Catholicism because of the SHAME of this KING. Where do YOU think prince Charles gets his name from. SHAME SHAME SHAMEFUL CONDUCT.
I am so happy to get this lesson Now so much was taught to me as a old lady My father was Jamaica. And he taught me so much I am 92yrs so thank you for your knowledge
God bless you grandma. it's indeed a great blessing to live this long . I'm a ghanaian and I'm learning so much from brother Michael to add to the knowledge I already have on these topics. stay safe grandma 🙏🙏🙏
Good morning 🌄🌄🌄 princess Tonya, How are you doing today It's wonderful to read that you're watching such material in your golden years. That says a lot about your spirit. Do you exercise and eat healthily??
So true Queen Tonya! 66 here and did you know they say that huge diamond in her crown was stolen from India, so this is why history is so important to be taught in the school curriculum, to understand the rights and wrongs of people in power. Well they say! The truth will set you free. We need this for generations and generations.
I am Bajan so i know and have known the history of the monarchy and it’s relationship as a colonizer os thank you for brining it to the larger Black population! Right-On!

It is up to the next generations to change the history of black people, but first we have to learn how to live together. We are responsible for our own destiny. No one else.
That’s is our true struggle as black people is that we can’t work together for the better most other nationalities see black peoples as animals they have proven it simply by starvation and they threw drugs alcohol and we as black peoples got hooked on it that’s when crime started to get out of hand money and drugs is our downfall that will keep us divided. We as black people will be to powerful if we come together. White people will not let that happen, well you take care.
@@I-am-not-D1-4U I'm white and to think of black people like that is beyond disgusting. I hope for a day when we can all become colour blind and see the colours of our skin makes no difference.
This conversation should've been taught years ago in our history classes. They kept this from black people. This is all biblically in The Most High Gods timing.

Britain paid their dues to the slaves, in fact they had to borrow the money and they only paid it off in 2015. When is the USA going to pay their dues, when is Africa going to pay theirs, what about Spain,France,Holland and Portugal. Britain was the one country who fought for the end of slavery, why don't you talk about all this? I'll tell you why, because you are the biggest hypocrites and racist people on the planet. Africa was selling slaves before USA or Britain, why don't you "discuss" that with your racist friends or try to stop the slave trade that is still going on in Africa. Isn't that what BLM should be doing instead of murdering and looting to build themselves multi million dollar houses. Disgraceful and disgusting.
As William Faulkner said, “The past is never dead; it’s not even past”. I’m so glad we’re hearing about reparations now. It needs to happen, and I believe the US will be cursed, until there’s acknowledgement, remorse, and reparations. No justice, no peace.
Thanks to Robert for educating us on the history of the monarchy pertaining to blacks and other countries, I am always interested in learning my history.
These pale face ppl behaving as if they're the world supremacists and that the world belongs to them but I see in the future that they're gonna be our foot stool 🤣🤣 you white's cops your term will come also
My thing is I cant take this story serious because just a few years ago black people were praising Meghan Markle for marrying into the Racist family WTF.
This has happened in Jamaica and might be happening right now they've been mining in Jamaica for a very long time who has been checking for Jamaica interest where gold or other metals is concerned checking the agreement the government signed with the mining company es and the length of year s of. Apparition without a watch for Jamaica interests gold is in Jamaica I know that for sure
A jamaican living in England, the queen has been the head of the commonwealth for all my life, I grew up being taught that Britain was the mother land and we loved Britain like a good mother loves her kids. However, as I learn and start to read about my own history and my so called race, it breaks my heart, especially recently when the government under the rule of Theresa May picked up Jamaicans of the windrush generation that came and worked hard to rebuild Britain after the war and shipped them back to Jamaica claiming they didn't have the correct papers. But that only happened because the government changed the immigration laws, some of those people lived in Britain before Theresa May was born. The queen being the head of state and the commonwealth said nothing about how the people she represents were treated. I think if she had said something anything it would have made a difference.
@@barbarasamuels2556 we are saying this but what are we doing about it we are all not on the same page tbh some Jamaicans agree to be free some don't and we want reparations it’s a joke to them they ain’t taking us serious
It is a myth that Jamaicans were asked to come to help rebuild Britain. An entrepreneur just commandeered Windrush and charged people to come here so it’s not surprising that the Queen didn’t speak up for them when their immigration status was questioned. The Queen, by the way, didn’t speak up for her ‘own’ people either - so don’t take it personally.
They never give our grandparents payments for there crulity and brutality But pay the Slave monsters, so called Master, it's time to pay up slave's grand childrens.
I remember someone suing Lord's of London and the Bank of England for their involvement in transatlantic slave trade. The late Johnny Cochran was to be a part of the legal team. Not sure what became of it. Now Black people in America need to address the water issues that effect their communities.
I've heard Africans say that if they found gold in their backyard in Africa, they cannot sell it because it's a crime (something to do with some arrangement they have with the UK), but any foreigner can come and take the gold and sell it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. How is this possible? Please can someone explain how this injustice is written in law and the African government sit back and continue to let this happen to their people?
I can't verify if it does happen or not, but I think it's safe to assume if it does happen, it's because of corruption. No government anywhere is without corruption, and sadly many governments in Africa can be quite brutal to their citizens.
My mom said her father dug a hole in the bedroom to hide his gold she wasn’t allowed to play with them for long because someone might see it and report him to the Gold Coast police in Ghana 😢
The same goes for Jamaica. If any treasure is found on your land as a title holder of the land , the treasure belongs to the king formerly the queen. If you commit a crime against the state in anyway, the court case is " John Brown or whomever vs the Queen" ( now king).
Please don't forget my beautiful country of 🇧🇿 Belize 🇧🇿 We got our independence from England in 1981. We're about to celebrate our independence September 21th.
Micheal is a walking history book! Between him and Dr. Carr, this network will ALWAYS be on jam when it comes to history! Roland struck gold here! Thanks.
I must add I agree that this should be taught in black history and made accessible to black people where ever they reside in the world. Thank you sirs, I am being educated.
So much information and so interesting. Learned so much from this. Thank you for publishing it. A conversation that this generation and beyond should have and learn.
@Michelle Armstead Really? You didn't know how England colonized Africa, India, Columbia, the Virgin Islands and so many more black/brown territories? The "queen" directly prevented these countries from leaving the rule of the British monarchy. Her treatment of us was no different than Adolf. She was a monster.
Ireland was England’s first colony and were only removed one hundred years ago - 1922. It is very important to be fully aware of how the English justified the occupation and subjugation of “white” Europeans. There was significant work done to “scientifically prove” that the Irish were just pale skinned Africans - and it worked. It is deeply unfortunate that the descendants of those same Irish “Africans” who migrated to the Americas seem to have no idea of their own history in relation to European White Supremacy. Every Irish person, and every descendent of the Irish should be standing shoulder to shoulder with Africans and descendants of Africans to fight for what is right - which is reparations. To be clear - I do not mean reparations for Ireland. Much of the historical wrongs in Ireland have been addressed and a hundred years on, we are are wealthy and privileged country. But what’s right is right - and the Irish need to be part of that fight.
the fact that you just said "poc have less, but let's give it to whites" is wild, i hope you feel embarrassed, black kids getting lynched and you think the whites need that help? not even people first, just white first 🤡🤡
Ireland was not a colony in the same sense as say Kenya. There was an Irish Parliament before the act of union and since 1801 all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. There were many Irish MPs sitting in Westminster to represent Irish interests. They were very influential and Irish affairs were discussed repeatedly e.g by Gladstone. The pity was that all of Ireland could not become independent like say Canada, Australia and New Zealand. (Dominion status). The Northern unionists would not agree to an All Ireland Government in Dublin. There were waves of invaders into Ireland such as the Vikings and then the Normans. These were more tribal groups than one nation invading another. Dublin was a centre of slave trading at one time. (the English were enslaved). St Patrick had been a slave. No doubt as the English tribes got more united after being conquered by the Normans, they got more organized and slowly fought against the Gaelic tribes in Ireland. Then you had the reformation in Germany spreading into England and Scotland. This reformation caused religious wars in Central Europe and Britain for centuries. This then spread to Ireland with Cromwell and the plantations of Ulster and Munster. So to call Ireland England's first colony is not correct in my mind. You then go on to bring in a very modern idea of scientific racism. That certainly did develop in the late 19th century. There was anti-Irish and anti-Catholic bigotry at times in Britain. But if you read the remarks of the British officers dealing with the 1916 leaders in Dublin or Winston Churchill's comments about Michael Collins in 1921, they were very sympathetic to them as Nationalist leaders. I don't see what this has to do with Africa though. It is nonsensical for the UK to pay reparations to Ireland for the behaviour of Elizabeth the FIrst or Oliver Cromwell or even the Irish Famine. The middle class Irish in Cork and Dublin lived though the famine just fine and did not call for reparations then. It was the poor that died. I am very dubious about claims for reparations over slavery either. The slaves were not collected by European slave traders directly. They were bought from one African tribe or group and sold to the British or Portuguese in exchange for goods. Britain never allowed slaves in the UK, though many British and Irish were enslaved by the Barbary pirates for centuries. The UK then banned slavery and lost many sailors in fighting the Arabic and African slavers who wanted the trade to carry on. The Americans actually fought the Barbary pirates soon after gaining their own independence. Slavery continued in some areas e.g. the Sudan well into the 20th Century. Why should we pay reparations for a trade that was maintained by Africans long after we had banned it? Though I agree that maybe there should have been a better settlement in the US when slaves were freed after the American Civil War. So with respect, I think you have a rather right on, essentially left wing marxist interpretation of what is a much more nuanced history. As an Irish person I am not going to stand with the Africans supporting reparations. You might also consider that by 2022 figures there are 1.4 billion people in Africa and 7 million in all of Ireland. i.e. For every 1 truly Irish person living in Ireland there are 201 Africans. If you want to maintain your Irish culture, I think you should think more about having children and protecting your own valuable culture, rather than standing shoulder to shoulder with Africans about a perceived wrong many centuries ago.
@@richcory7945 I’m not going to go through every part of your reply - but Ireland was colonised. Land was taken from the native people and granted to people from the island of Great Britain. This was done in order to subjugate the native population, to control the native population and to instill a new population into Ireland who were “civilised” and loyal to the crown. This worked - and most of the MPs and dignitaries that you reference were of this Anglo Irish background. Literally the colonisers put there for the purpose. Yes, there rose a native middle class and they fought through to win some representation, but it was hard fought. That people can’t tell the difference between the native population here and the imported colonists (who were handed much of the country’s wealth in the process), is what made the colonisation so successful. The same families that were handed so much of the land and resources here still by and large own all their estates and giant tracts of land to this day. By and large, they get educated in Eton and other such places and maintain their other homes in London. But they’re “Irish”. As for your assertions about my “right on” and “left wing Marxist” interpretation of history - you lost reality and credibility at that point. To state that Irish people shouldn’t stand shoulder to shoulder with “Africans” is just poppycock. We absolutely should. I am very proud to do so. I fully support the need for reparations being made to the descendants of slaves and the victims of colonialism, particularly where countries’ natural resources were systematically stolen. But your final paragraph suggesting that the Irish concentrate on protecting our country and culture by have more children rather risk being taken over and swamped by all those Africans is just pure racism. People come to this country from around the world and bring elements of their own cultures which add to our own. But make no mistake - kids born here, or who come here as children - no matter their colour - are pure Irish. No ifs, ands or buts.
@@richcory7945 I also think given all that's happened in the not so distant past with the troubles in Ireland and the North with UK included, it wouldn't be a great time to start causing more angst by dragging the past up again. I'm glad you wrote you did here as it's a little more factual.
@@sineadmurtagh943 I am ethnically Irish, but not living in Ireland. But I consider myself ethnically Irish. An African living in Ireland - even if born in Ireland is ethnically African and I would not consider them "pure Irish". And why should I stand shoulder to shoulder with any African over reparations? They were not enslaved. Some of their distant ancestors were. My ancestors may have been mistreated by the British but I don't bear a grudge against any UK person because of that. Your victimization arguments are essentially Marxist in nature as Marxism requires an oppressor to create social division. Europe does not want or need an African invasion any more than France or the UK needed a German invasion in 1940. You can call it racism. I would not. It is reality for the Irish living in Ireland to decide how their country is run.
This is such an awesome dialogue. It is so educational and this awesome brother truly knows his stuff. He is amazing... speaking truth to power. I could listen to this literally for hours. And he explains it in such a way that is so easy to understand. He is an amazing brother, orator and teacher. A superb historian indeed.
I don't understand any of you...I don't want to sit at any table to have dialogue with monster's who have killed, and colonized the black plain. (facts) What do we need to discuss and why? I know all I need to know about those murderers. How can any college scholars call me a niger? They don't know what melanin is...? You bets believe they know what melanin is, and the great power it has... they've been at war with our black plain for almost 500 hundred years. Yet you black people still want to have a conversation with them...they can have all of the paper money, gold, sliver, and anything else they can eat. I don't care about any reparations coming from any of them...They should be treated in the same manner as they have treated our ancestors, and us. That reptile was never our Queen. I am Judah, but you already know that... See you on the battlefield, because that's what this shit has always been. YAH!
Yes he is, yet a lot of the things that he states..., is incorrect. Nations like Egypt, Sudan, Turkey, Israel , Palestinian, Syria, Iran, Iraq,Qatar, and Oman. Where not colonies of the British. Sudan and Egypt, were under protector ship of Britain. Turkey, Palestinian, Syria etc., were under a Briitish Mandate, which was installed after the First World War. That the British used to pilfer the region of it's natural resources and treasures. 80% of all British colonies in the Caribbean were obtain from conflicts with Spain. South Africa did not become independent from England in 1931. Because the nation was still under White rule. South Africa was allow to self rule, only because the government maintain a tight racial control over the land and it's people. All it was done to please those members of the League of Nations at the time .
@@anthonypaul6788 and also many people in the U.K. However, these are some incorrect and imprecise information I found - 1) Jamaica became the U.K. most prosperous colony in the Americas (overtaking Barbados - a very important colony) and only 2nd in prosperity to Haiti (The French colony’s number 1 earner). The Caribbean earned the U.K. billions in present day money from especially sugar. In the Scottish legal case which ended slavery in Scotland (Knight v Wedderburn ). Joseph Knight (Jamaica) being the enslaved gentleman. I read that Wedderburn (the Jacobite) decided to leave for the Caribbean to make his fortune - and this is exactly what he did in Jamaica. Making more than he had formerly lost. That’s not surprising! 2) The Caribbean built Briton via enslavement money. Without those millions (especially in the early day) acquired they would not have been able to start building its infrastructure & institutions ie banking, insurance and financial industries, build an ‘empire’, start business ventures in the other Colonies as well as in other parts of the empire, fight wars (which is expensive) and colonise (almost) the whole world. Asians ie Indians, Chinese peoples came to the Anglo Caribbean/West Indies as ‘indentured servants’. They were never chattel slaves. The East Indian Company enslaved East & West Africans - not East Asians. 3) Should the Caribbeans be able to claim reparations for the enslaved people brought to the 13 colonies from/via the Caribbean too. These peoples were never returned to their home, families &/or families? 4) Slavery wasn’t actually ended until 1839 - it was only when the Caribbean people rebelled against this apprenticeship nonsense - which was da facto enslavement - that TRUE EMANCIPATION ie freedom occurred & this apprenticeship was scrapped. The PM (Prime Minister) former, Mr Cameron’s family was a recipient of enslavement reparations money. 5) The Windrush - they WERE ALWAYS CITIZENS (correction). They were SUBJECTS. They did not require visas. They were citizen just like African Americans are citizens of the USA. Also, the government claims they deleted all of the immigration information regarding the people from the Caribbean who arrived in ENGLAND during the Windrush period. That is one of the reason why this ridiculous situation occurred. Please note - All wills in the U.K. is public - except the royal family. So we do not really know how much they are really worth. Great show. Thanks and peace 🙏😏
So grateful for the Internet - I learnt more about my black history with this talk than I ever did at I school! I don’t know why I feel conned, misled, and frustrated with not knowing all of this - we have indeed been brainwashed on so many levels it’s criminal all this stuff. When I look at what is happening in Russia, this is no different, and so brutal to know humans treated humans like this. I always thought about this small country with no gold, assets, or commodities, yet it is so powerful - all through atrocities. I guess one question is how on earth did the rulers of these countries allow this to happen as you cannot come over here and do this - can you help with this? I did notice the media during the ten days rallied so many black people to speak on tv -who clearly didn't know their history holding the monarchy in such high esteem - it's outdated pompous and nonsensical - I am nobody’s subject.
Please educate yourself - instead of listening to these tin rattles , who have the sole purpose of filling their coffers No nation in those times wouldn't have done the same if they could , it was a dog eat dog world
This is a point of view from an Aboriginal man in Australia today: Opinion by Stan Grant After Queen Elizabeth II's death, Indigenous Australia can't be expected to shut up. Our sorry business is without end When the Queen first visited Australia in 1954, my mother almost did not get to see her. Like millions of other school kids, mum was expected to join the throng flocking to glimpse the young royal. The problem was, my mother didn't have any socks. She was a dirt-poor Aboriginal kid living in a tin humpy on the outskirts of Coonabarabran, in north-west NSW. Socks were a luxury. Clothes and shoes were shared among a dozen siblings. The school said no socks, no go for the trip to Dubbo to see the Queen. Mum's older brother had made the royal trek a day earlier and met mum at the back fence between the primary and high schools and threw his socks over. It is a memory that has stayed with mum. She has told me the story many times - wearing her brother's cast-off socks to see the Queen. It is one of the rich memories of a long life. And she has other memories, other stories that she has told me. Stories of her father being tied to a tree like a dog by police and left all day without food or water to swelter in the sun. Seeing Aboriginal men arrested for drinking alcohol and roped together and marched down the main street of her hometown. Stories of two younger brothers who died as children. Stories of her siblings taken to welfare homes. Stories of aching hunger. Of once following a white girl eating a cake around the schoolyard and pouncing on a crumb that the girl dropped. My mother still says it was the best cake she ever tasted. The girl with no socks got to see the Queen, while her family and other black families lived in poverty that the Crown inflicted on them. Living homeless in a land that had been stolen from them in the name of the Crown. We aren't supposed to talk about this I called my mother this week and she told me the story of her childhood brush with royalty over again. I have thought about mum and dad and all of my family, of my people - First Nations people - who die young and live impoverished and imprisoned lives in this country. We aren't supposed to talk about these things this week. We aren't supposed to talk about colonisation, empire, violence about Aboriginal sovereignty, not even about the republic. Everyone from the prime minister down has told us it is not appropriate. I'm sure I am not alone amongst Indigenous people wrestling with swirling emotions. Among them has been anger. The choking asphyxiating anger at the suffering and injustice my people endure. This anger is not good for me. It is not good for my mental health. It is not good for my physical health. I have been short of breath and dizzy. But that is nothing compared to what too many other Indigenous people go through day after day. Those languishing in cells. Those who take their own lives. Those who are caught in endless cycles of despair. Writing this is not good for me. I feel my pulse racing now. I feel the tension building in my head. The veins constricting. I know what will come. I know the abuse that will come from those who don't like Aboriginal people who speak up. I know that online trolls will target my family with the most foul language, even threats of physical violence. Why do we do it? I ask myself that, too. Why do we have to explain ourselves, why do we have to relive pain? Why? Because a voice is all we have. Because too often that voice is silenced. Like this week. The other side of history I have wondered where that voice is. If it has spoken it has more often been in muted tones, lest anyone be offended. I have wondered where the voices of Indigenous political leadership have been. Where have they been as Indigenous rugby league player Caitlin Moran received a suspension to the equivalent of a quarter of her salary for an Instagram post deemed offensive to the Queen? Australians will likely vote in a referendum for a constitutionally enshrined Indigenous Voice to Parliament, but what good would that voice be if at times like these it is reduced to a whisper? This past week, I have been reminded what it is to come from the other side of history. History itself that is written as a hymn to whiteness. History written by the victors and often written in blood. It is fashioned as a tale of progress, as a civilising mission. As historian Caroline Elkins writes in Legacies of Violence, her history of the British Empire, for hundreds of millions of people "the empire's velvet glove contained an all too familiar iron fist". From India to Africa to Ireland, the Pacific, the Caribbean and of course here, Australia, people from the other side of history have felt that fist. It is not a zero-sum game. There are things in the British tradition that have enriched my life. But history is not weighted on the scales, it is felt in our bones. It is worn on our skin. It is scarred in memory. How do we hold strong? How do we live with the weight of this history? How do we not fall prey to soul-destroying vengeance and resentment, yet never relent in our righteous demand for justice? At times like these I struggle with that dilemma. Because Australia has never reached a just settlement with First Nations people. The Voice to Parliament - whatever its virtues - falls well short of justice. It is another step on the long journey to justice. But again, we don't talk about that this week. I have felt a sadness at feeling adrift, estranged from friends and colleagues. Sadness at knowing that at times like these there is a chasm between us. I have watched as others have worn black and reported on this historic event, participated in this ritual mourning. And knowing I cannot. They come to this with no conflict. I cannot. My colleagues can extol the Queen's undoubted and admirable devotion to duty. They can lament the passing of "everyone's grandmother." This is their 'sorry business' My thoughts have been on my grandmother. My people have a word, Yindyamarra - its meaning escapes English translation. It is a philosophy - a way of living - grounded in a deep respect. I have sought to show Yindyamarra to those for whom this moment is profound. This is their "sorry business" and I respect that. But it will pass. For Indigenous people, our sorry business is without end. At times like these I wonder what it would be to not know apocalypse. To not know what it is to come from a people who face an existential threat. Who have clung on to their very place on this earth. I wonder what it would be like for me to be like my colleagues for whom this is one of the defining stories of their lifetimes. Sometimes, I wonder what it must be like to be white. But then I would not be my mother's son. - ABC

My family originate from - Dominica 🇩🇲 in the Westindies - it’s funny l had a recent conversation a few days ago with a friend of mine who spoke about visiting Australia, l asked him why would you want to go there as a black man after the atrocities Australian whites have committed against the indigenous people of the country, he could not give me a justifiable answer , apart from having friends who live there ! I read your post my brother from beginning to end , l empathise with you . Today in the U.K. we had the Queen of England’s burial , l watched for some time and then the guilt took me , why would l watch such a thing after the way they have treated us as black people in the past and still now . l turned over my TV to another channel , only to look up and see the program had finished, they began highlighting the funeral , l turned over to another channel - again the program was interrupted to pay respects to the Queen , l then turned the TV off in disgust , l refused to watch the burial in honour of my ancestors and myself, also due to the past and current treatment we receive as black people living in the U.K.l was not going to watch the burial of an individual in which her and her family were part of - slavery - colonialism , thievery and brutality against our race - are we not human too! As l said l read your post from beginning to end - focus on the good my brother , so as to keep mentally and physically strong . May blessings fall on you 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I think it is sad you talk respect yet you give none yourselves. We are all Australians, l have family that are indigenous and they do not hold these same views as you or Stan grant, they don’t live in the past and understand history is exact;y that a journey to learn from and carve going forward for all persons including first people. However, for all of us to live in Harmony you need respect or Yindyamurra it goes both ways. I respect all first people but l don’t get that back all the time, regardless of right or wrong and l would imagine this would go both ways as you wrote. However my grandmother also had a similar situation she was white without shoes or socks couldn’t see the Queen….but her class was told this and she missed out…… she was white….. does that make the Queen bad…..NO …. Maybe the teachers or local councillors wanting to put on a good show…… does it happen today in business if you want to put a food show on and a colleague isn’t suitable for meeting they miss out…. So let’s keep it in perspective…. As to conquer there has been atrocities for centuries, plenty of history there, not only to first people but to whites, even a major one happening today in China. We need to accept the past it can’t and won’t change and look to healing by living in harmony with due respect given to all people. Thank you for sharing your story. Respect / Yindyamarra!
Zimbabwean here 🇿🇼 He broke it down real good. We learnt about this in Secondary School. Ian Smith transitioned Power to Canaan Banana, then Robert Mugabe. My grandmother who passed in 2013 at 92, still remembered King George, her Father. Lost many family members who fought the Chimurenga/British war for our independence!
@@maureenchurchill2689 Well, maybe you can tell us. Since you have so much Intel. Did you work for the CIO or you are one of the disgruntled white farmers. It was ok when Ian Smith was killing our relatives, taking our land and putting our grandparents on reserves (land that was not fertile) right?. It was OK for whites to own majority of the land and blacks not have much. It was ok for us to be segregated and called the equivalent of the N word 'Kaffir' or boy. I don't think you are a black Zimbabwean, because if you are the Ian Smith regime was evil just like Jim Crow and I would never want to go back to that era! If Mugabe was so bad, why do we have many white farmers who are still in Zimbabwe and refuse to go back to England. England offered them compensation to leave Zimbabwe and go back to the UK and be compensated, they refused. So they stayed put and contknue to reside in prestigious areas of Zimbabwe (Sam Levy) Harare and want nothing to do with blacks. Those sanctions were the west retaliating against Mugabe, that how dare he think he is better than the British and Zimbabweans were fooled into thinking they only affected ZANU. I don't like ZANU, but if those sanctions affected them only why has the economy of Zimbabwe suffered? People must think Mhani. Wena, those sanctions were designed to bring Zimbabwe to its knees so that we go back and beg, not only for ZANU PF. Also you mentioned Ndabaningi Sithole, my paternal grandmother was a direct descendant of Sithole. Have more information than you on that!
The majority of society is too busy pushing the CRT because they don't want the truth to be told and the world made aware of how brutal and animalistic a race of people really were and still are.
I agree they should teach this in school but you must understand to this day they want to keep us ignorant and not make them feel bad. Just think about it everything you see around the world because of Black African sisters and brothers our sisters and brothers are the key to this world and we don't have respect. Once again Jehovah God sits high in the heavens and looks low. Thank you Jesus holy Spirit
This is a blessing for sure to be this informed but it’s not without consequences. If there are no tangible solutions then we setting ourselves up for the civil war that main stream media has suggested. Now they trying to pit the Latina community against Black Foundational Americans to escape the responsibility of reparations. Forget public schools we need to teach this history at home, don’t forget the solutions and importance of unity in family and communities.❤️💯
Thank you so much for the information.. We need to keep the conversation going..we were sold, used and abuse for years and they need to make it right..
We are having the conversation now bc we just learned our history. We been lied too for so long and basically brainwashed in school. We need reparations. Get it in the right words
Good afternoon my Robert into the men and women that's on this platform right now, me too is stunned by all this history that was never told and it takes the Culture Club and some of the hosts that's along with the show bring this out brothers and sisters y'all make my heart to filled with joy that y'all bringing all what was in the dark to the light may God continue to bless y'all and give you all the inspiration that you need to succeed
@@lloydtracy9073 That will never happen..The whole point of the exercise was to enrich themselves and kill rape experiment and murder others ...it would be folly for them to impoverish themselves for us...they don't like us
I'm grateful my Uncle Richard Whittle, may he RIP, had me read about the Berlin Conference and the History of the Monarch in 1975 when I was. I celebrated that woman's death. No love lost here. My tears are for my African peoples at home and abroad!
They really aren't involved in the politics though, and there's no tea...seriously, I'm not defending anything but bad information is just as terrible as missing or white washed information. The monarch sits in on Parliament so there are no secrets. Its their responsibility to hold parliament accountable, other than that they have no say UNLESS it's a crisis and the people are seriously suffering.
Wow I'm originally from Jamaica 🇯🇲 but I grew up in USA and I know some of the history but tonight I have been thoroughly Schooled. A lot of things make sense now.
Why didn't your parents impart this to you in America. Caribbean History is taught in all English speaking Caribbean schools. You would not get this lesson in American schools.
@@misterlexx2721 No, America schools kept your history and Black American history from all of us. Case in point the destroying of Black Wall Street in Oklahoma. I cried when I just learned of it. God is opening our eyes. White Americans Slavery is no difference British Slavery and stealing. America built it's wealth off Black America Slaves and the British stole all the diamonds. They should be afraid they no longer can get away with their sins.
Respect to the brave Jamaicans! Just difficult to understand why Charles III to this day is the king of Jamaica. His mother never spoke up when Jamaicans were mistreated, like during the Windrush scandal, although she was your queen!
Im a 57 year old man, as a child I was taught in school that Columbus sail the ocean blue in 1492 . And how the European explorers broke bread and made trade with the Indians and they did the same throughout the world! It's funny how in school how they forgot to mention , all the gold , diamonds and land they stole or manipulated through treaties with the knowledge of knowing that these ppl did not fully understand so-called negotiations! Not because they were dumb! Just simply kept in the dark purposely, so that they could be exploited for their riches!!!! And to those white ppl who tell us blacks that we need to work harder, maybe if we got back some of that which was stolen from us like all the gold , land and diamonds hijacked from us for over 500 years not including the labor we put in digging for those precious commodity, we've put in more than our fair share of working hard ! I've never herd of hundreds of Europeans or white Americans being shipped in to dig with shovels in hand 🙌 . They either forced or paid very low wages to the natives , so that they and their royals could sit high in their chairs, looking down on those whom they stole from as if they were the savages, meanwhile going to there churches trying to buy there way into heaven!!!!!!
Thank you for the history lesson. I am from St. Kitts, British West indies and was never taught about this history. Singing the British anthem cherishing her when we were tortured. Thank you. Teach this in our schools
Brothers, you have hit MONEY with this lesson. I will keep sharing this most important message for our people... My Grand Father told me some of these same lessons the mid-60s. HE WAS PRO-MUA-MUA, and so am I...
She was responsible for the loss of lives of many Indian children. All colors but the 1% have been misled.. we must all learn to accept each other and hold hands and stand together to make change- for you for me Peace.. and love to All from Nevada
Some people would prefer if we forget all about our past and accept the evil that have been perpetrated against us over many centuries. Some of us are fully brainwashed generationally while some are choosing to wake up from this slumber and discovering who we truly are and thats not a bad thing. We have lost language, standard of beauty, dressing, history, role models of old etc etc etc totally mind wipe ...how reasonable and 'polite' is that.
Please say it louder for the ones in the back. My greatest frustration is when I hear people say,"she's a mother,, grandmother... What the hell does that have to do with evil. Those kin folks are an extension of their history. Evil is evil... Take a trip to Ghana and visit the Slave Dungeons, they tell the whole story of how they treated and killed our ancestors.
Somali here. Just came to say both sides of our nation were given independence in 1960 one about a couple days before the other. Once both were given independence they unified into a singular African Republic. Northern Somalia was colonised by the British. Several of my ancestors fought and died in the longest resistance war in African history against the British from 1885-1921.
We are often not remembered by some Pan Africanists I feel this is a deep hurt for the movement because Somalia in its peak period from 1960-1985 did so much for Africa. Our President Barre at the time was similar to Sankara but on steroids.
I'm so glad you African Americans are starting to get it, I'm Black British 🇬🇧 my parents are Jamaican🇯🇲, we ALL linked and that LINK is the MONARCHY, and AFRICANS and WEST INDIAN'S have always known this.
Starting to get it?? Who are you to tell African Americans of what they know or don't know? Among the multitude of dehumanizations African Americans have been subjected to for centuries, being stripped of their total existence from Africa, and everything in between, who better to know about the vital matter of being cohesive and linked with each other? You've got to be kidding me. African Americans know the linkage with Africa, the West Indies and Britain. I'm sure you have learned something too from this video so dismiss the condescention. BTW, why are you even in Britain were you force there?
Yes, why now, seems like a cowardly move, it takes just strong warrior spirit for justice and reparations. Time for us to come together......wha? These slave owners have been teaching us that for hundreds of years, but we keep leaving it up to them to dictate our destiny, it aint happening, our head buried in the sand, and our betrayal of each other makes them money. We have a problem uniting, that is what put the oppressor's infinite wealth on auto pilot.
Not a cowardly move, a very strategic move because what is done in the dark will come to the LIGHT 🕯️. This is just the beginning of what is to come on so many levels
@@crhu319 portugal had colonies in Africa up to 1975. I remember proud portuguese soldiers coming back from "overseas combat" carrying trophies. Ears of murdered Africans on their key chains. It was fashion to do so.
This is a great conversation and believe it or not but most africans also don't understand the impact the British monarch had on Africa. So I intend to share they hell out of this video. The reason we have not been having this conversations is because we did not have access to the information and now more than ever most people have access due to the weaked state of the oppressors. Oppressors did not think technology would work against them. I love that we are learning this history together and hope we all work together to continue removing the ignorance and change how the world sees us were ever we are and breathe.

This is PURE FACTS. As a Jamaican, we were taught this history by our parents. Colonialism played a significant role in the disruption of our people. Europe built their wealth on the backs of the slave trade. We cannot pretend that this history didn't occur. Thanks for sharing the facts of the slave trade.
Events like the Industrial Revolution had nothing to do with colonialism. Wealth in Britain was a along and complex thing that didn't boil down to slavery at all. Research how places like Blenheim Palace were funded.
More importantly than that though is to remember that initially it was blacl African kings selling other blacks to them..and eventually it turned out om them too
Love this💯
Very important part of our history
Praise Yahuah
@@idratherbeaphilthanajustin9533 With respect you are incorrect and misinformed in your statement. It is indeed a complex situation, but the industrial revolution is inextricably tied to the slave trade and the wealth of the British empire through free forced labour I strongly suggest you do more research.
I went to an all Black School in Virginia an we studied a lot of what you are saying. It is
great to see someone who is talking about this subject and explaining the Truth.

@@judyparsons1333 Ancient Egypt never had chattel slavery. The only people in world history who did where Europeans.The Africans enslaved war captives but in African culture the enslaved still had human rights. Slavery wasn't an inheritance status.

Because it is not taught in schools. The whole of Afrika was colonized by western powers. Only 2 countries of the 54 was never colonized. Ethiopia and Liberia. Fortunately we have the internet now so people can educate themselves on this very important world history that was deliberately ignored.

Beautifully said and correct.
That’s is our true struggle as black people is that we can’t work together for the better most other nationalities see black peoples as animals they have proven it simply by starvation and they threw drugs alcohol and we as black peoples got hooked on it that’s when crime started to get out of hand money and drugs is our downfall that will keep us divided.

Thank you! Im learning and loving it!!
Other countries have been having these conversations and have been petitioning for reparations for years. Knowledge is power.
Zimbabwe was a British colony in 1952. Sotherton Rhodesia then.
Britain paid their dues to the slaves, in fact they had to borrow the money and they only paid it off in 2015. When is the USA going to pay their dues, when is Africa going to pay theirs, what about Spain,France,Holland and Portugal. Britain was the one country who fought for the end of slavery, why don't you talk about all this?
I'll tell you why, because you are the biggest hypocrites and racist people on the planet. Africa was selling slaves before USA or Britain, why don't you "discuss" that with your racist friends or try to stop the slave trade that is still going on in Africa. Isn't that what BLM should be doing instead of murdering and looting to build themselves multi million dollar houses.
Disgraceful and disgusting.
Do white peoples get repetitions for all the items blacks steal from our businesses on a daily basis?

As William Faulkner said, “The past is never dead; it’s not even past”. I’m so glad we’re hearing about reparations now. It needs to happen, and I believe the US will be cursed, until there’s acknowledgement, remorse, and reparations. No justice, no peace.

Brother Micheal is preaching the gospel. Additionally, it was no longer economically beneficial for the British to keep the Caribbean colonies.
Because they took everything they wanted, nothing was left that interests them.
This has happened in Jamaica and might be happening right now they've been mining in Jamaica for a very long time who has been checking for Jamaica interest where gold or other metals is concerned checking the agreement the government signed with the mining company es and the length of year s of. Apparition without a watch for Jamaica interests gold is in Jamaica I know that for sure
Yes indeed. Excellent info and knowledge. Michael Inmotep is awesome.
A jamaican living in England, the queen has been the head of the commonwealth for all my life, I grew up being taught that Britain was the mother land and we loved Britain like a good mother loves her kids. However, as I learn and start to read about my own history and my so called race, it breaks my heart, especially recently when the government under the rule of Theresa May picked up Jamaicans of the windrush generation that came and worked hard to rebuild Britain after the war and shipped them back to Jamaica claiming they didn't have the correct papers. But that only happened because the government changed the immigration laws, some of those people lived in Britain before Theresa May was born. The queen being the head of state and the commonwealth said nothing about how the people she represents were treated. I think if she had said something anything it would have made a difference.
Horrific awakening.
Painful.

It is a myth that Jamaicans were asked to come to help rebuild Britain. An entrepreneur just commandeered Windrush and charged people to come here so it’s not surprising that the Queen didn’t speak up for them when their immigration status was questioned. The Queen, by the way, didn’t speak up for her ‘own’ people either - so don’t take it personally.

I've heard Africans say that if they found gold in their backyard in Africa, they cannot sell it because it's a crime (something to do with some arrangement they have with the UK), but any foreigner can come and take the gold and sell it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. How is this possible? Please can someone explain how this injustice is written in law and the African government sit back and continue to let this happen to their people?
I can't verify if it does happen or not, but I think it's safe to assume if it does happen, it's because of corruption. No government anywhere is without corruption, and sadly many governments in Africa can be quite brutal to their citizens.
My mom said her father dug a hole in the bedroom to hide his gold she wasn’t allowed to play with them for long because someone might see it and report him to the Gold Coast police in Ghana 😢
It is time to give back the stolen gold, diamonds Give back they stuff to the People South Africa.
There are always brutal laws and people to enforce these laws. Such has existed from the beginning of the world till its end
The same goes for Jamaica. If any treasure is found on your land as a title holder of the land , the treasure belongs to the king formerly the queen. If you commit a crime against the state in anyway, the court case is " John Brown or whomever vs the Queen" ( now king).

@@misterlexx2721, good point!
Micheal is a walking history book! Between him and Dr. Carr, this network will ALWAYS be on jam when it comes to history! Roland struck gold here! Thanks.
“On jam” lol. What an idiot.
I must add I agree that this should be taught in black history and made accessible to black people where ever they reside in the world.
Thank you sirs, I am being educated.
So much information and so interesting. Learned so much from this. Thank you for publishing it. A conversation that this generation and beyond should have and learn.
AGREED 👍🙏🏽💯
I honestly thought black folks knew this. It's amazing how many don't.
@Michelle Armstead
Really? You didn't know how England colonized Africa, India, Columbia, the Virgin Islands and so many more black/brown territories? The "queen" directly prevented these countries from leaving the rule of the British monarchy. Her treatment of us was no different than Adolf. She was a monster.
Ireland was England’s first colony and were only removed one hundred years ago - 1922. It is very important to be fully aware of how the English justified the occupation and subjugation of “white” Europeans.
There was significant work done to “scientifically prove” that the Irish were just pale skinned Africans - and it worked.
It is deeply unfortunate that the descendants of those same Irish “Africans” who migrated to the Americas seem to have no idea of their own history in relation to European White Supremacy.
Every Irish person, and every descendent of the Irish should be standing shoulder to shoulder with Africans and descendants of Africans to fight for what is right - which is reparations.
To be clear - I do not mean reparations for Ireland. Much of the historical wrongs in Ireland have been addressed and a hundred years on, we are are wealthy and privileged country.
But what’s right is right - and the Irish need to be part of that fight.
the fact that you just said "poc have less, but let's give it to whites" is wild, i hope you feel embarrassed, black kids getting lynched and you think the whites need that help? not even people first, just white first 🤡🤡
Ireland was not a colony in the same sense as say Kenya. There was an Irish Parliament before the act of union and since 1801 all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. There were many Irish MPs sitting in Westminster to represent Irish interests. They were very influential and Irish affairs were discussed repeatedly e.g by Gladstone. The pity was that all of Ireland could not become independent like say Canada, Australia and New Zealand. (Dominion status). The Northern unionists would not agree to an All Ireland Government in Dublin.
There were waves of invaders into Ireland such as the Vikings and then the Normans. These were more tribal groups than one nation invading another. Dublin was a centre of slave trading at one time. (the English were enslaved). St Patrick had been a slave. No doubt as the English tribes got more united after being conquered by the Normans, they got more organized and slowly fought against the Gaelic tribes in Ireland. Then you had the reformation in Germany spreading into England and Scotland. This reformation caused religious wars in Central Europe and Britain for centuries. This then spread to Ireland with Cromwell and the plantations of Ulster and Munster.
So to call Ireland England's first colony is not correct in my mind. You then go on to bring in a very modern idea of scientific racism. That certainly did develop in the late 19th century. There was anti-Irish and anti-Catholic bigotry at times in Britain. But if you read the remarks of the British officers dealing with the 1916 leaders in Dublin or Winston Churchill's comments about Michael Collins in 1921, they were very sympathetic to them as Nationalist leaders. I don't see what this has to do with Africa though.
It is nonsensical for the UK to pay reparations to Ireland for the behaviour of Elizabeth the FIrst or Oliver Cromwell or even the Irish Famine. The middle class Irish in Cork and Dublin lived though the famine just fine and did not call for reparations then. It was the poor that died.
I am very dubious about claims for reparations over slavery either. The slaves were not collected by European slave traders directly. They were bought from one African tribe or group and sold to the British or Portuguese in exchange for goods. Britain never allowed slaves in the UK, though many British and Irish were enslaved by the Barbary pirates for centuries. The UK then banned slavery and lost many sailors in fighting the Arabic and African slavers who wanted the trade to carry on. The Americans actually fought the Barbary pirates soon after gaining their own independence. Slavery continued in some areas e.g. the Sudan well into the 20th Century. Why should we pay reparations for a trade that was maintained by Africans long after we had banned it? Though I agree that maybe there should have been a better settlement in the US when slaves were freed after the American Civil War.
So with respect, I think you have a rather right on, essentially left wing marxist interpretation of what is a much more nuanced history. As an Irish person I am not going to stand with the Africans supporting reparations. You might also consider that by 2022 figures there are 1.4 billion people in Africa and 7 million in all of Ireland. i.e. For every 1 truly Irish person living in Ireland there are 201 Africans. If you want to maintain your Irish culture, I think you should think more about having children and protecting your own valuable culture, rather than standing shoulder to shoulder with Africans about a perceived wrong many centuries ago.
@@richcory7945 I’m not going to go through every part of your reply - but Ireland was colonised. Land was taken from the native people and granted to people from the island of Great Britain.
This was done in order to subjugate the native population, to control the native population and to instill a new population into
Ireland who were “civilised” and loyal to the crown.
This worked - and most of the MPs and dignitaries that you reference were of this Anglo Irish background. Literally the colonisers put there for the purpose.
Yes, there rose a native middle class and they fought through to win some representation, but it was hard fought.
That people can’t tell the difference between the native population here and the imported colonists (who were handed much of the country’s wealth in the process), is what made the colonisation so successful.
The same families that were handed so much of the land and resources here still by and large own all their estates and giant tracts of land to this day.
By and large, they get educated in Eton and other such places and maintain their other homes in London. But they’re “Irish”.
As for your assertions about my “right on” and “left wing Marxist” interpretation of history - you lost reality and credibility at that point.
To state that Irish people shouldn’t stand shoulder to shoulder with “Africans” is just poppycock. We absolutely should.
I am very proud to do so. I fully support the need for reparations being made to the descendants of slaves and the victims of colonialism, particularly where countries’ natural resources were systematically stolen.
But your final paragraph suggesting that the Irish concentrate on protecting our country and culture by have more children rather risk being taken over and swamped by all those Africans is just pure racism.
People come to this country from around the world and bring elements of their own cultures which add to our own. But make no mistake - kids born here, or who come here as children - no matter their colour - are pure Irish.
No ifs, ands or buts.
@@richcory7945 I also think given all that's happened in the not so distant past with the troubles in Ireland and the North with UK included, it wouldn't be a great time to start causing more angst by dragging the past up again. I'm glad you wrote you did here as it's a little more factual.
@@sineadmurtagh943 I am ethnically Irish, but not living in Ireland. But I consider myself ethnically Irish. An African living in Ireland - even if born in Ireland is ethnically African and I would not consider them "pure Irish". And why should I stand shoulder to shoulder with any African over reparations? They were not enslaved. Some of their distant ancestors were. My ancestors may have been mistreated by the British but I don't bear a grudge against any UK person because of that. Your victimization arguments are essentially Marxist in nature as Marxism requires an oppressor to create social division.
Europe does not want or need an African invasion any more than France or the UK needed a German invasion in 1940. You can call it racism. I would not. It is reality for the Irish living in Ireland to decide how their country is run.
This is such an awesome dialogue. It is so educational and this awesome brother truly knows his stuff. He is amazing... speaking truth to power. I could listen to this literally for hours. And he explains it in such a way that is so easy to understand. He is an amazing brother, orator and teacher. A superb historian indeed.
I don't understand any of you...I don't want to sit at any table to have dialogue with monster's who have killed, and colonized the black plain. (facts) What do we need to discuss and why? I know all I need to know about those murderers. How can any college scholars call me a niger? They don't know what melanin is...? You bets believe they know what melanin is, and the great power it has... they've been at war with our black plain for almost 500 hundred years. Yet you black people still want to have a conversation with them...they can have all of the paper money, gold, sliver, and anything else they can eat. I don't care about any reparations coming from any of them...They should be treated in the same manner as they have treated our ancestors, and us. That reptile was never our Queen. I am Judah, but you already know that... See you on the battlefield, because that's what this shit has always been. YAH!
Yes he is, yet a lot of the things that he states..., is incorrect. Nations like Egypt, Sudan, Turkey, Israel , Palestinian, Syria, Iran, Iraq,Qatar, and Oman. Where not colonies of the British. Sudan and Egypt, were under protector ship of Britain. Turkey, Palestinian, Syria etc., were under a Briitish Mandate, which was installed after the First World War. That the British used to pilfer the region of it's natural resources and treasures.
80% of all British colonies in the Caribbean were obtain from conflicts with Spain. South Africa did not become independent from England in 1931. Because the nation was still under White rule. South Africa was allow to self rule, only because the government maintain a tight racial control over the land and it's people. All it was done to please those members of the League of Nations at the time .
Great History
This is not new to us in Caribbean.
@@anthonypaul6788 and also many people in the U.K. However, these are some incorrect and imprecise information I found -
1) Jamaica became the U.K. most prosperous colony in the Americas (overtaking Barbados - a very important colony) and only 2nd in prosperity to Haiti (The French colony’s number 1 earner). The Caribbean earned the U.K. billions in present day money from especially sugar.
In the Scottish legal case which ended slavery in Scotland (Knight v Wedderburn ). Joseph Knight (Jamaica) being the enslaved gentleman. I read that Wedderburn (the Jacobite) decided to leave for the Caribbean to make his fortune - and this is exactly what he did in Jamaica. Making more than he had formerly lost. That’s not surprising!
2) The Caribbean built Briton via enslavement money. Without those millions (especially in the early day) acquired they would not have been able to start building its infrastructure & institutions ie banking, insurance and financial industries, build an ‘empire’, start business ventures in the other Colonies as well as in other parts of the empire, fight wars (which is expensive) and colonise (almost) the whole world.
Asians ie Indians, Chinese peoples came to the Anglo Caribbean/West Indies as ‘indentured servants’. They were never chattel slaves.
The East Indian Company enslaved East & West Africans - not East Asians.
3) Should the Caribbeans be able to claim reparations for the enslaved people brought to the 13 colonies from/via the Caribbean too. These peoples were never returned to their home, families &/or families?
4) Slavery wasn’t actually ended until 1839 - it was only when the Caribbean people rebelled against this apprenticeship nonsense - which was da facto enslavement - that TRUE EMANCIPATION ie freedom occurred & this apprenticeship was scrapped.
The PM (Prime Minister) former, Mr Cameron’s family was a recipient of enslavement reparations money.
5) The Windrush - they WERE ALWAYS CITIZENS (correction). They were SUBJECTS. They did not require visas. They were citizen just like African Americans are citizens of the USA. Also, the government claims they deleted all of the immigration information regarding the people from the Caribbean who arrived in ENGLAND during the Windrush period. That is one of the reason why this ridiculous situation occurred.
Please note - All wills in the U.K. is public - except the royal family. So we do not really know how much they are really worth.
Great show. Thanks and peace 🙏😏
I want to salute the Culture Club post and members of this panel and also to Michael who's a great historian that I appreciate you enlighten me
Great video coverage and interview and break down of history📚💯
This is something that will not ever be given to our kids in school and it should be
I agree with the Sister who we as people are One. This discussion was very educating to me. Thanks brothers and SISTERS
Her passing is a transitional moment in time that force a change. It is easier to force change when there is movement in place.
So grateful for the Internet - I learnt more about my black history with this talk than I ever did at I school! I don’t know why I feel conned, misled, and frustrated with not knowing all of this - we have indeed been brainwashed on so many levels it’s criminal all this stuff. When I look at what is happening in Russia, this is no different, and so brutal to know humans treated humans like this. I always thought about this small country with no gold, assets, or commodities, yet it is so powerful - all through atrocities. I guess one question is how on earth did the rulers of these countries allow this to happen as you cannot come over here and do this - can you help with this?
I did notice the media during the ten days rallied so many black people to speak on tv -who clearly didn't know their history holding the monarchy in such high esteem - it's outdated pompous and nonsensical - I am nobody’s subject.
I'm which ya my friend.
Also we're nobody's fool either.
Please educate yourself - instead of listening to these tin rattles , who have the sole purpose of filling their coffers
No nation in those times wouldn't have done the same if they could , it was a dog eat dog world
This is so informative! LOVE this!!! Wow
This is a point of view from an Aboriginal man in Australia today: Opinion by Stan Grant
After Queen Elizabeth II's death, Indigenous Australia can't be expected to shut up. Our sorry business is without end
When the Queen first visited Australia in 1954, my mother almost did not get to see her.
Like millions of other school kids, mum was expected to join the throng flocking to glimpse the young royal.
The problem was, my mother didn't have any socks.
She was a dirt-poor Aboriginal kid living in a tin humpy on the outskirts of Coonabarabran, in north-west NSW. Socks were a luxury. Clothes and shoes were shared among a dozen siblings.
The school said no socks, no go for the trip to Dubbo to see the Queen. Mum's older brother had made the royal trek a day earlier and met mum at the back fence between the primary and high schools and threw his socks over.
It is a memory that has stayed with mum. She has told me the story many times - wearing her brother's cast-off socks to see the Queen.
It is one of the rich memories of a long life. And she has other memories, other stories that she has told me.
Stories of her father being tied to a tree like a dog by police and left all day without food or water to swelter in the sun.
Seeing Aboriginal men arrested for drinking alcohol and roped together and marched down the main street of her hometown.
Stories of two younger brothers who died as children.
Stories of her siblings taken to welfare homes. Stories of aching hunger. Of once following a white girl eating a cake around the schoolyard and pouncing on a crumb that the girl dropped. My mother still says it was the best cake she ever tasted.
The girl with no socks got to see the Queen, while her family and other black families lived in poverty that the Crown inflicted on them. Living homeless in a land that had been stolen from them in the name of the Crown.
We aren't supposed to talk about this
I called my mother this week and she told me the story of her childhood brush with royalty over again. I have thought about mum and dad and all of my family, of my people - First Nations people - who die young and live impoverished and imprisoned lives in this country.
We aren't supposed to talk about these things this week. We aren't supposed to talk about colonisation, empire, violence about Aboriginal sovereignty, not even about the republic.
Everyone from the prime minister down has told us it is not appropriate.
I'm sure I am not alone amongst Indigenous people wrestling with swirling emotions. Among them has been anger. The choking asphyxiating anger at the suffering and injustice my people endure.
This anger is not good for me. It is not good for my mental health. It is not good for my physical health. I have been short of breath and dizzy.
But that is nothing compared to what too many other Indigenous people go through day after day. Those languishing in cells. Those who take their own lives. Those who are caught in endless cycles of despair.
Writing this is not good for me. I feel my pulse racing now. I feel the tension building in my head. The veins constricting.
I know what will come. I know the abuse that will come from those who don't like Aboriginal people who speak up.
I know that online trolls will target my family with the most foul language, even threats of physical violence.
Why do we do it? I ask myself that, too. Why do we have to explain ourselves, why do we have to relive pain?
Why? Because a voice is all we have. Because too often that voice is silenced. Like this week.
The other side of history
I have wondered where that voice is. If it has spoken it has more often been in muted tones, lest anyone be offended.
I have wondered where the voices of Indigenous political leadership have been. Where have they been as Indigenous rugby league player Caitlin Moran received a suspension to the equivalent of a quarter of her salary for an Instagram post deemed offensive to the Queen?
Australians will likely vote in a referendum for a constitutionally enshrined Indigenous Voice to Parliament, but what good would that voice be if at times like these it is reduced to a whisper?
This past week, I have been reminded what it is to come from the other side of history. History itself that is written as a hymn to whiteness.
History written by the victors and often written in blood. It is fashioned as a tale of progress, as a civilising mission.
As historian Caroline Elkins writes in Legacies of Violence, her history of the British Empire, for hundreds of millions of people "the empire's velvet glove contained an all too familiar iron fist".
From India to Africa to Ireland, the Pacific, the Caribbean and of course here, Australia, people from the other side of history have felt that fist.
It is not a zero-sum game. There are things in the British tradition that have enriched my life. But history is not weighted on the scales, it is felt in our bones. It is worn on our skin. It is scarred in memory.
How do we hold strong?
How do we live with the weight of this history? How do we not fall prey to soul-destroying vengeance and resentment, yet never relent in our righteous demand for justice?
At times like these I struggle with that dilemma. Because Australia has never reached a just settlement with First Nations people.
The Voice to Parliament - whatever its virtues - falls well short of justice. It is another step on the long journey to justice.
But again, we don't talk about that this week.
I have felt a sadness at feeling adrift, estranged from friends and colleagues. Sadness at knowing that at times like these there is a chasm between us.
I have watched as others have worn black and reported on this historic event, participated in this ritual mourning. And knowing I cannot.
They come to this with no conflict. I cannot.
My colleagues can extol the Queen's undoubted and admirable devotion to duty. They can lament the passing of "everyone's grandmother."
This is their 'sorry business'
My thoughts have been on my grandmother.
My people have a word, Yindyamarra - its meaning escapes English translation. It is a philosophy - a way of living - grounded in a deep respect.
I have sought to show Yindyamarra to those for whom this moment is profound. This is their "sorry business" and I respect that.
But it will pass. For Indigenous people, our sorry business is without end.
At times like these I wonder what it would be to not know apocalypse. To not know what it is to come from a people who face an existential threat. Who have clung on to their very place on this earth.
I wonder what it would be like for me to be like my colleagues for whom this is one of the defining stories of their lifetimes.
Sometimes, I wonder what it must be like to be white.
But then I would not be my mother's son.

Hello my brother, l am a black woman , living in the U.K. . The name you see attached to my response to you is a nickname ! My family originate from - Dominica 🇩🇲 in the Westindies - it’s funny l had a recent conversation a few days ago with a friend of mine who spoke about visiting Australia, l asked him why would you want to go there as a black man after the atrocities Australian whites have committed against the indigenous people of the country, he could not give me a justifiable answer , apart from having friends who live there ! I read your post my brother from beginning to end , l empathise with you . Today in the U.K. we had the Queen of England’s burial , l watched for some time and then the guilt took me , why would l watch such a thing after the way they have treated us as black people in the past and still now . l turned over my TV to another channel , only to look up and see the program had finished, they began highlighting the funeral , l turned over to another channel - again the program was interrupted to pay respects to the Queen , l then turned the TV off in disgust , l refused to watch the burial in honour of my ancestors and myself, also due to the past and current treatment we receive as black people living in the U.K.l was not going to watch the burial of an individual in which her and her family were part of - slavery - colonialism , thievery and brutality against our race - are we not human too! As l said l read your post from beginning to end - focus on the good my brother , so as to keep mentally and physically strong . May blessings fall on you 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Tldr
@@SusieQ156 ohh god. Im all for facts, but your outlook on Australian whitepeople is disgusting.
Focus on the good yeah?
@@lthr3363 why just focus on the good?
I think it is sad you talk respect yet you give none yourselves. We are all Australians, l have family that are indigenous and they do not hold these same views as you or Stan grant, they don’t live in the past and understand history is exact;y that a journey to learn from and carve going forward for all persons including first people. However, for all of us to live in Harmony you need respect or Yindyamurra it goes both ways. I respect all first people but l don’t get that back all the time, regardless of right or wrong and l would imagine this would go both ways as you wrote. However my grandmother also had a similar situation she was white without shoes or socks couldn’t see the Queen….but her class was told this and she missed out…… she was white….. does that make the Queen bad…..NO …. Maybe the teachers or local councillors wanting to put on a good show…… does it happen today in business if you want to put a food show on and a colleague isn’t suitable for meeting they miss out…. So let’s keep it in perspective…. As to conquer there has been atrocities for centuries, plenty of history there, not only to first people but to whites, even a major one happening today in China. We need to accept the past it can’t and won’t change and look to healing by living in harmony with due respect given to all people. Thank you for sharing your story. Respect / Yindyamarra!
Zimbabwean here 🇿🇼 He broke it down real good. We learnt about this in Secondary School. Ian Smith transitioned Power to Canaan Banana, then Robert Mugabe.
My grandmother who passed in 2013 at 92, still remembered King George, her Father.
Lost many family members who fought the Chimurenga/British war for our independence!
@@maureenchurchill2689 Well, maybe you can tell us. Since you have so much Intel. Did you work for the CIO or you are one of the disgruntled white farmers. It was ok when Ian Smith was killing our relatives, taking our land and putting our grandparents on reserves (land that was not fertile) right?. It was OK for whites to own majority of the land and blacks not have much.
It was ok for us to be segregated and called the equivalent of the N word 'Kaffir' or boy.
I don't think you are a black Zimbabwean, because if you are the Ian Smith regime was evil just like Jim Crow and I would never want to go back to that era!
If Mugabe was so bad, why do we have many white farmers who are still in Zimbabwe and refuse to go back to England. England offered them compensation to leave Zimbabwe and go back to the UK and be compensated, they refused. So they stayed put and contknue to reside in prestigious areas of Zimbabwe (Sam Levy) Harare and want nothing to do with blacks.
Those sanctions were the west retaliating against Mugabe, that how dare he think he is better than the British and Zimbabweans were fooled into thinking they only affected ZANU. I don't like ZANU, but if those sanctions affected them only why has the economy of Zimbabwe suffered? People must think Mhani. Wena, those sanctions were designed to bring Zimbabwe to its knees so that we go back and beg, not only for ZANU PF.
Also you mentioned Ndabaningi Sithole, my paternal grandmother was a direct descendant of Sithole. Have more information than you on that!
I read the history about Zimbabwe and Ian Smith who was a supremacist and many of the other farmers.
Thank you for this history lesson, this should be taught in schools.

They really aren't involved in the politics though, and there's no tea...seriously, I'm not defending anything but bad information is just as terrible as missing or white washed information.

Its their responsibility to hold parliament accountable, other than that they have no say UNLESS it's a crisis and the people are seriously suffering.

Where is your parents we started this from the seventies and even before we were asking for it
Why didn't your parents impart this to you in America. Caribbean History is taught in all English speaking Caribbean schools. You would not get this lesson in American schools.
@@misterlexx2721 No, America schools kept your history and Black American history from all of us. Case in point the destroying of Black Wall Street in Oklahoma. I cried when I just learned of it. God is opening our eyes. White Americans Slavery is no difference British Slavery and stealing. America built it's wealth off Black America Slaves and the British stole all the diamonds. They should be afraid they no longer can get away with their sins.
Respect to the brave Jamaicans! Just difficult to understand why Charles III to this day is the king of Jamaica. His mother never spoke up when Jamaicans were mistreated, like during the Windrush scandal, although she was your queen!
Im a 57 year old man, as a child I was taught in school that Columbus sail the ocean blue in 1492 . And how the European explorers broke bread and made trade with the Indians and they did the same throughout the world! It's funny how in school how they forgot to mention , all the gold , diamonds and land they stole or manipulated through treaties with the knowledge of knowing that these ppl did not fully understand so-called negotiations! Not because they were dumb! Just simply kept in the dark purposely, so that they could be exploited for their riches!!!! And to those white ppl who tell us blacks that we need to work harder, maybe if we got back some of that which was stolen from us like all the gold , land and diamonds hijacked from us for over 500 years not including the labor we put in digging for those precious commodity, we've put in more than our fair share of working hard ! I've never herd of hundreds of Europeans or white Americans being shipped in to dig with shovels in hand 🙌 . They either forced or paid very low wages to the natives , so that they and their royals could sit high in their chairs, looking down on those whom they stole from as if they were the savages, meanwhile going to there churches trying to buy there way into heaven!!!!!!

Thank you for the history lesson. I am from St. Kitts, British West indies and was never taught about this history. Singing the British anthem cherishing her when we were tortured. Thank you. Teach this in our schools
Fidel Castro president of Cuba was absolutely instrumental in helping African countries gain their independence from the colonists.
This is indeed a divine moment. Michael just took us to school.
Micheal is a walking encyclopedia of Black knowledge. I could listen to him for hours.
@@justmyopinion9883 Me too, 🙏🏽💯👍
Brothers, you have hit MONEY with this lesson. I will keep sharing this most important message for our people... My Grand Father told me some of these same lessons the mid-60s. HE WAS PRO-MUA-MUA, and so am I...
She was responsible for the loss of lives of many Indian children. All colors but the 1% have been misled.. we must all learn to accept each other and hold hands and stand together to make change- for you for me
Peace.. and love to All from Nevada

🎉😢😅😢🎉😢🎉
Some people would prefer if we forget all about our past and accept the evil that have been perpetrated against us over many centuries. Some of us are fully brainwashed generationally while some are choosing to wake up from this slumber and discovering who we truly are and thats not a bad thing. We have lost language, standard of beauty, dressing, history, role models of old etc etc etc totally mind wipe ...how reasonable and 'polite' is that.
Please say it louder for the ones in the back. My greatest frustration is when I hear people say,"she's a mother,, grandmother... What the hell does that have to do with evil. Those kin folks are an extension of their history. Evil is evil... Take a trip to Ghana and visit the Slave Dungeons, they tell the whole story of how they treated and killed our ancestors.
No One is stopping you from returning to your place of who you really are my dear.
Many have forgotten but God has not forgotten.
You have lost nothing. You are a product of the times in which you were born, not the time of your ancestors.
@@alexaelliott2598 And you are a product of total ignorance. It is better to be thought a fool then to speak up and remove all doubt. 💯🇺🇲
Great conversation and information literally in tears of joy and totally agree with we need to come together as a people as☝🏾💪🏾🙌🏾
Somali here. Just came to say both sides of our nation were given independence in 1960 one about a couple days before the other. Once both were given independence they unified into a singular African Republic. Northern Somalia was colonised by the British. Several of my ancestors fought and died in the longest resistance war in African history against the British from 1885-1921.
We are often not remembered by some Pan Africanists I feel this is a deep hurt for the movement because Somalia in its peak period from 1960-1985 did so much for Africa. Our President Barre at the time was similar to Sankara but on steroids.
Somalians are brave and beautiful people.
@@sic_transit_gloria_mundi thank you v much
When all of Israel yelled out the walls of Jericho came down but it was all of em! We have to be together on ONE accord
I'm so glad you African Americans are starting to get it, I'm Black British 🇬🇧 my parents are Jamaican🇯🇲, we ALL linked and that LINK is the MONARCHY, and AFRICANS and WEST INDIAN'S have always known this.
Starting to get it?? Who are you to tell African Americans of what they know or don't know? Among the multitude of dehumanizations African Americans have been subjected to for centuries, being stripped of their total existence from Africa, and everything in between, who better to know about the vital matter of being cohesive and linked with each other? You've got to be kidding me. African Americans know the linkage with Africa, the West Indies and Britain. I'm sure you have learned something too from this video so dismiss the condescention. BTW, why are you even in Britain were you force there?
Respectfully Hati led the way. The Brit Monarch’s deserved to go the way of the French aristocracy….off with their heads
Yes, why now, seems like a cowardly move, it takes just strong warrior spirit for justice and reparations. Time for us to come together......wha? These slave owners have been teaching us that for hundreds of years, but we keep leaving it up to them to dictate our destiny, it aint happening, our head buried in the sand, and our betrayal of each other makes them money. We have a problem uniting, that is what put the oppressor's infinite wealth on auto pilot.
Good morning 🌄🌄🌄 princess,
I can tell you have that warrior spirit that you wrote of!
What other channels you view for edification?!?
Not a cowardly move, a very strategic move because what is done in the dark will come to the LIGHT 🕯️. This is just the beginning of what is to come on so many levels
Let’s remember all of the BIG 5: THE SPANISH, THE BRITISH, THE PORTUGUESE, THE DUTCH, AND THE FRENCH. These empires “colonized” or enslaved the world.
The Arabs enslaved us before the whites
Portugal dropped out early, Spain in 1800s, Dutch still colonizing in the 40s and British and French to this day.
@@crhu319 portugal had colonies in Africa up to 1975.
I remember proud portuguese soldiers coming back from "overseas combat" carrying trophies.
Ears of murdered Africans on their key chains.
It was fashion to do so.
Italy tried with Ethiopia.
Thank you and the guest for this discussion. There are many levels to reparations demands, and requires an international view.
This is a great conversation and believe it or not but most africans also don't understand the impact the British monarch had on Africa. So I intend to share they hell out of this video. The reason we have not been having this conversations is because we did not have access to the information and now more than ever most people have access due to the weaked state of the oppressors. Oppressors did not think technology would work against them. I love that we are learning this history together and hope we all work together to continue removing the ignorance and change how the world sees us were ever we are and breathe.
Also, the natrative of the Brits as "good colonisers" is widely spread.
