The Maroons of Barbados
Incredible !!!
And we still strong and resistant 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧I is bajan to de bone
To de bone!
This is fascinating. You know i always thought Jamaica not Barbados was the origin of sugar and slavery in the Caribbean. Now i know my neighbors Barbados next door was that place. Even today black Bajans are incredibly intelligent unlike jamaicans. So most vincentian are also descendants of the bajans incredible again. Seriously they was always something about bajans i liked. They're a different black people compared to trini, guyanese and jamaicans. I do not believe that they're from the same part of Africa. This is history our Caribbean people should have been thought. So Barbados is the birth place of it all. Time for a vacation to Barbados 🛫
Well slaves from st.Vincent was sent to Jamaica because they revolted against the British there they Joined with the Maroons and had children and married.
You can't fool us you're from Barbados! What I've noticed is some islands of the Caribbean have issues with Jamaicans but the Jamaicans have no issues with the other islands. I'm not from the Caribbean by the way. There is a lot of hate and resentment from certain other Caribbean people towards Jamaicans. Why? You're all Black! That's a shame 😢
Many of the slaves that were brought to Barbados were native Americans from North America.
Pardon? We're black af not mixed with Native American.
@@musiqworlmedia88incorrect. Slaves from Barbados came direct from Ghana then distributed throughout the Caribbean and also the US through South Carolina.
Duet 28 yes speak of the yoke around the neck these people who you calls slaves was really the most high Yah children ...
why are we using terms like slave, master and runaway, they were enslaved by enslavers and self liberated.
You are right. I have since corrected my language in my later videos. This is one of my first videos, and i learned to do better.
Thanks for your comment
Once, I realized that, Enslaved people were to Barbados, when you take a look at what happened at that time! You can imagine that people were not going to tolerate being treated like Animals for long, so is where the Maroons came to be! Not knowing our own history is what makes us so damaged today! We need to realize what was done to our Ancestors!
Bajans are not African they are Aboriginal european mixed with aboriginal American. What we were taught is a lie this is why they burnt down the archives and say it was struck by lightning
Bussa is not my hero he was the head ranger on Baylys plantation St.Philip his job was to keep our ancestors in check ,if you watched Django ,the msn who was whipping the "blk"girl was a Ranger,that was Bussa's role . He was eventually killed by the same slaves,but they taught us he was a good man. He was a Criminal to blks , lord Nelson was a more honourable man than Bussa. Tek down Bussa too
