  • Removing the Queen as head of state is seen as the final step for Barbados in cutting ties with its colonial past, a past haunted by nearly 200 years of brutal enslavement.

    James Drax was one of the first plantation owners in Barbados, and a pioneer of slavery in the Caribbean.
    His ancestor Richard Drax, who's the Conservative MP for South Dorset, is now set to inherit that same plantation.
    We investigated how that is being received in Barbados.

    I find it odd that the very people like this Dracula ..sorry, Drax fellow can shrug off the inhuman suffering his ancestors put people through so that his family could become rich, stating it was 'hundreds of years ago' when in fact it is just outside living memory AND still accept compensation from the British government for their lost of being able to inflict physical, mental, economic and sexual abuse on an entire people until the year 2015! Families of British slaver owners were still being paid 'compensation' until 2015. Yet when the descendants of their victims call for Reparations, we get the same old mush ...'It was hundreds of years ago'. As far I am concerned the British and others, but particularly the British behaved worse in the Caribbean and the Americas during the 15th-19th centuries than the Nazis did in Europe in the 20th. Every life is precious, but at least the 9 million who died in the death camps died within months and never had to ensure a total lifetime of suffering as did millions in Caribbean.

    Drax reportedly said that people cannot be held responsible for the crimes of their ancestors. Following that logic, then neither should people BENEFIT from the assets of their ancestry especially when crimes against humanity were committed to acquire them. But the greed of Capitalism somehow has no conscience - Blacks/Africans were their first free Capital. What an awesome Welfare State that was!! And we, the descendants, know the debt owed and spirits of our ancestors won’t let us forget…
    Additionally, what’s the other hurtful part of the legacy of slavery we have today? Up to this present time the defendants of Whites still carry the disdain for Blacks which they continue to hand down generationally. And they continue to teach all the newer Whites and others to continue to see blacks negatively.
    We are continuing to gradually succeed in bringing the shame that needs to be exposed of how brutal and harmful slavery was and continues to have its painful harms up to today. We the descendants of people owned by the White SYSTEM of enslavers, we all know who we are. We know who we are because AFTER ALL, WE ARE STILL CYNICALLY BRANDED BY THE ENSLAVERS’ NAMES.
    I’m looking forward to Barbados pushing and agitating for Reparations, including staking its claim on that Drax plantation as a national museum and monument to “never again” would Black/African people ever be enslaved. So proud of the continued progress out of slavery and arrogant colonialism. Kudos to Mia Mottley! May we have at least one more brilliant and enlightened Caribbean leader to help move us forward even faster. Until we receive Reparations, we have not vindicated our fore parents - Their spirits are depending on us,.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

    I wish you would have included the response to this piece by the MP. You summarize his statement but it would have been good to have him interviewed on camera. How is it possible that he thinks this is defensible. The records of that plantation are not just private records now, they are records of a vast and extensive atrocity. How can they not have donated them already to the national museum for scholarship and research and education. That is what people do who TRULY believe in reconciliation. If he does not feel responsible, then, why not donate information and also permit researchers to find the burial grounds. What an irresponsible and backward person.

      You must understand that first of all, the English DO NOT TEACH their children about how England has benefitted from the trans-Atlantic slave trade and used it to gain wealth by starting the sugar industry. All English children are taught is that at some point there were slaves. This is why last year in Bristol, people toppled the statue of one of it's most celebrated figures during the protests after the George Floyd killing. He had built his wealth off slave trading ships. There is a old statement by one historian that "The streets of Bristol are paved with the blood of the slaves." The English people grew up thousands of miles removed from the atrocity. They genuinely don't know what they don't know. We would like to think that as a Drax, the MP has a bit better knowledge than the average Briton but given his likely having attended an exclusive boarding school such as Eaton, it is questionable what he really understands. British education needs to start owning up to the full gamut of activities the British have engaged in that built their fortune and that will put most of them at great discomfort to actually read things which were done to human beings for the profit of a few. It would also make them better understand that the imbalances their forefathers created overseas, are the reason why they have the types of immigrants they do.

      @@alanhanson9464 But the English did and built up ports like Bristol off slave trading. The largest fleet of slave ships was based there but they don't teach you all in school about the way Britain became "great" and you overlook the depth of what went on in the Caribbean and elsewhere because you as a people were insulated and far removed from witnessing first-hand the results of your atrocities. One historian wrote "The streets of Bristol are paved with the blood of the slaves". Plantation ledgers show actual itemised lists of PROPERTY, so they list slaves - including gender, age *and monetary value* - right among furniture, animals and provisions like flour, and barrels of salted meat etc. imported for the plantation. This is because once the slave ships landed in Barbados, which was the first port-of-call, the humanity of the African was stripped. Captured people who might have been relatives were separated further from family - some ending up in other colonies. Under the law, *1 slave was literally 3/5 of a person*. Conversely, across Africa a person maintained their humanity even if enslaved. In some cultures a person could sell themselves into slavery to repay debt. Once repaid however, they could reclaim freedom. In some cases, a slave actually rose to become the leader of the society they became a part of. Others became enslaved as captives of war. Humanity was not downgraded though. No such possibilities existed in the West Indies nor the British North American colonies for the enslaved Africans. Persons ( abolitionists ) questioned the morality the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the plantation slavery system and campaigned for their end. e.g. William Wilberforce. They were ignored. Once the Industrial Revolution began to take shape in England, the sugar industry began to decline and this softened folks up to abolish, in 1807, the slave trade only. Slavery continued in the British colonies until 1834 then the newly emancipated slaves went through a 4 year transition period called Apprenticeship. In 1838 they now were to be paid workers and pay varied considerably from colony to colony. In Barbados, its tiny size and geography, meant the majority of former slaves remained stuck on the plantations they were born on. Now they had to pay to rent the land on which they and their foreparents were born. If for any reason they and the planter or overseer fell out, they would be forced to leave the plantation with all their belongings and seek work elsewhere. Hence the origin of the Bajan "chattel house" came about; so-called because it was movable property. By 1840, Barbados passed the Police Act and the Police Force was established. Vagrancy Act was passed soon after Emancipation as well and meant if a worker had to leave the plantation, he or she could be jailed for sleeping on the roadside. *So no kind of compensatory land or rent-to-own provision was made for them! BY CONTRAST, THE ALREADY ELITE LANDED GENTRY PLANTATION OWNERS OF THE CARIBBEAN PETITIONED FOR AND WERE COMPENSATED BY THE BRITISH GOV'T TO THE TUNE OF £20 M for "LOSS OF PROPERTY". In addition, Immigration laws were deliberately created to block the black workers from migrating to bigger and less densely populated colonies like British Guiana (now Guyana) where they could earn far better pay and buy larger tracts of land. In BG, Trinidad and Jamaica, East Indian - INDENTURED NOT ENSLAVED - workers were brought in to create a buffer between the planter class and the former slaves. Let's be clear: their living and work conditions were not good in the least bit! Unlike the former slaves though, they had 7 year contracts at the end of which, they received either paid passage back to India or a plot of land of their own! The African and African- descended populations were deliberately disadvantaged from progressing. Tension exists in Guyana and Trinidad to this day between Africans and Indians as a result. Chinese were also brought into the same 3 colonies the Indians were. There is so much more that can be said but that is for YOU and others who don't know, to actually research for yourselves. I've given you a lot of points to go from but will throw in the Slave Codes and the Masters and Servants Act as well.

    Half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population. The past builds creates the present and inspires the future.
    When Haiti created its first constitution they outlawed foreign ownership of lands. After the USA invaded they forced Haiti to change that part of the constitution. The USA has also bullied other African, Caribbean and Latin American countries to not pass land ownership laws or to reverse land ownership laws. The only African country exempt from the USA’s policy is Liberia. If you know Liberia’s history, you know why the USA ignores their land and voting laws. Mind you America still has colonies and I am not talking about the military industrial complex. Iran nationalizing its oil. Cuba reclaiming colonized property/land from businesses is why the current relationships are what they are. The USA does not believe in sovereignty or self determination of other countries. They helped France extort money for being free and tge island Haiti. Haiti paid all of it and it broke them. They fought for freedom and had to pay to stay on an half an island that France already ruined by over farming, which killed the soil. Spain was much kinder to its half of the island. They paid for exhausted dirt. No ride to Africa was offered. That would be too expensive. Russia has done nothing that France, The UK, Spain, Italy, Germany and most of Europe hasn’t done and continue to do.
    They say you can’t blame the current people for their past mistakes. LOL The USA stole Hawaii after their Queen assisted the USA in good faith. Now the Hawaii’s homeless is mostly natives. They could of given Hawaii back at anytime. Nope. A coup and ridiculous referendums that allowed white American, who out numbered the Natives, to vote. I am simplifying, because there were some other treacherous deeds that led to the Kingdom of Hawaii’s demise. No good deed goes unpunished.

    Richard FINANCIALLY benefits from his inhumane, barbaric, slave-holding ancestors, which makes him very much accountable for their actions.
    Plus, HE has perpetuated his ancestor’s legacy of slavery and colonialism.
    Citizens of Barbados should also fight for reparations.

      What crime have your ancestors committed perhaps. Should you be held accountable if one of your ancestors was a murderer or robber? Yes, I think you should!!! Sad cretin.

      @@saxglend9439 You should be comparing like with like. What happened in Barbados is akin to what happened with the Nazis and the Jews in Germany, the only difference with the Barbadians being that it happened on their own land.
      The Nazis benefited from the extermination and plunder of the Jews' wealth, in the same way Barbadians suffered genocide, extermination and plunder at the hands of the English. So, it is only fair that they get their land back and reparations for all the harm done to them.

      Don't refer to this scumbag as "Richard".............refer to him as Drax. That conveys the contempt in which he and his whole rotten family should be held.

    Britian relatively recently finished paying descendents of slave owners in the 2000s. Drax had to be one of them. There's no way he'd be where he is right now without his family history. If he wants to separate from his ancestors let him give up his name or his inheritance.

    I believe the Drax family stronghold on the plantation is an insult!!!, just as the queen of England is no longer head of Barbados state Drax family today should no longer still be plantation owners….are they still waiting for slavery to return? If No one can be held responsible for what happened in the past? so why is richard Drax and his family still be responsible as the Drax hall owners then? Perhaps as the responsible owners to date they should pay compensation for their ancestors evil atrocities?
