Closing off Caribbean Heritage Month with a list of celebs that are from the Caribbean or of Caribbean descent! If your West Indian or of West Indian descent drop your flag! In the comments! PART 2 Here : ruclips.net/video/-kb1BS8UySw/видео.html
im not sure which flag to drop. both parents are antiguan via portugal. they migrated to the virgin islands (st thomas) to have 10 of us and then moved to miami for education. im in new york city (manhattan) now.
CARIBBEAN PRIDE! A lot of people of color who have made major accolades in the U.S. and the WORLD in history are actually CARIBBEAN people of color! Their mindset is different 🎉
@mstaz1688 Nope, it's the opposite. Black folks in America claim the successful Caribbean folk as their own (because some appear "black" based on skin shade), but they achieved success. Their success uplifts the image of Black Americans to other people's eyes, even though they aren't truly "Black American." The biggest difference is mindset.
Sigh here we go 🙄 we are one people with varying differences, can we just stop the division now. most of these I didn't know, you can't even tell the difference between us. Signed a trini 🇹🇹
@@mstaz1688 Caribbean people also helped create/added to black American culture as well. Plus a lot of them were kids and they just did what every one else around them did. Back in the day it wasn't as 'cool' to have Caribbean roots as it is now.
Billy Ocean and the Mad Stuntman (from Reel 2 Real) are from Trinidad. Rayvon (as in the guy who collaborated with Shaggy on"In the Summertime" and "Angel") was born on my island Barbados. So too was Shontelle ("Impossible") and Rupee ("Tempted to Touch").
Not only that I remember in 1984 billy came home and was interviewed by renny Bishop and said he was proud to be born in Trinidad when he made the hit Caribbean queen , that same year grandmaster flash and the furious five was interviewed by renny Bishop and they had members that are from Barbados @@randychampion184
These might not be known as well as some of these people on the list but they are still of Caribbean descent..Dj akademik he is Jamaican and NBA champion of the golden state warriors Andrew Wiggins his mother is bajan then there is fresh from the fresh and fit podcast he is from Barbados
It's the biggest English speaking island with the biggest population donor makes sense. Don't downplay the other West Indian counties! Big up allla we!
So now anybody black American with a alleged paternal grandparent that knows ones ever heard about but on your channel are suddenly now Caribbean? So if someone is mixed with Caribbean blood they are now, all of a sudden, fully Caribbean? What kind of identity thief crap you Caribbean folks got going on over here? Lol
I should make a video about all the brothers and sisters I've got in different countries around the world. My Father was a rasta and a travelling musician. Say no more. 🇯🇲
You can’t just say “born in the Caribbean” that’s the most vague thing ever! if you’re related to him you should at least know which country he was born in specifically. But factually, He was born in the Bronx NY and his parents were immigrants that met in states, at the time of his birth his mother’s new partner, husband stepfather was listed on his birth certificate .
For so many years i have always felt so proud of CCH POUNDER because i was told she was Dominican 🇩🇲 I am devastated to just now discover shevus in fact from Guyana 🇬🇾 I have been misinformed for all that time! Now we have no Dominican Actors or Actresses! 😢😞 Not one! Oh! Oh! Near the end of the video i discovered 21 SAVAGE is DOMINICAN 🇩🇲 YEAH,! WE GOT ONE! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😃
I love this list but, as a Dominican and Dutch West Indies woman it's disrespectful to include Panama who not only is geographically NOT caribbean but, it's also a Whole Spanish country.... Please do better. DR, PR & Cuba es CARIBE.... We don't care what "Jamaican influence" they have.... This is prejudice and hurtful.
How are you going to mention Suzanne De Passe and not mention her time working for Berry Gordy at Motown, specifically her time managing the Jackson 5? She is constantly shown in pics with Michael. She eventual became the president of Motown Productions
That’s definitely too much. This is a list of 200 people. Almost all of them had to have 1 piece of background for the sake of the video length. (Cause it already had to be split in 2 parts). Some of their background facts were too long so most of the had to be cut to one thing or two things about them.
@@hiphopurbanpop Esther Rolle is best known for her character Florida Evans from Maude? Most people know her from the much more popular Good Times and can barely remember that the show was a Maude spinoff, if they remember Maude in the first place
Both Naomi Osaka and Blake Griffin father is Haitian I’m claiming them , also Stephen Curry grandmother from his mom side is Haitian, I’m claiming him too.

These tiny little islands are mighty.
How can you feature Esther Rolle with no mention of her role on "Good Times"?
I had to cut out a lot of facts for half of the people cause the video was pushing 45mins. It was getting way too long sorry 😢
Ok, I understand but African Americans remember her more for the iconic Good Times than Maude I applaud your efforts and am looking forward to Pt2.👍
CARIBBEAN PRIDE! A lot of people of color who have made major accolades in the U.S. and the WORLD in history are actually CARIBBEAN people of color! Their mindset is different 🎉
Yes, the mindset is to latch on to Black American culture and cosplay as Black Americans in order to be successful in the U.S. 🤷🏽♀️
