Joseph Chatoyer: The Legendary Garifuna Chief

Joseph Chatoyer, also known as Satuye, was a chief of the Garifuna community in Saint Vincent who led a revolt against British colonial forces on the island.
The Garifuna are an ethnic group of mixed African and Indigenous Carib ancestry. From the 17th century onwards, enslaved Africans and the Carib people intermingled on the Caribbean island of St Vincent and for years resisted capture and enslaved at the hand of European colonial powers. In 1796, the British deported several thousand Garifuna to the island of Roatan, near Honduras, where they eventually migrated throughout central America.
Joseph Chatoyer is considered the first Garifuna hero. Hear his story in this video!

I have noticed that the ancient Persian were dark-skinned people. There are several ilustrations of ancient paintings portraying the dark-skinned Persians in a book published in the early 1980s about Alexander the Great called "The Search for Alexander" written by Robin Lane Fox. But the blind because they are blindfolded to the truth always label Afrocentrists or say it's propaganda. They have to understand that there African blacks and Asiatic blacks as well as the African lion and the Asiatic lion. Periodt

There is a large Afro Iranian and Afro Iraqi community! Check out the Collective for Black Iranians if you're interested 🤗 the largest community of African descent in the Middle East is in Saudi Arabia, an estimated 3.5 million!
