Wealthy families all around the UK still indirectly enjoying the proceeds of slavery.
Wealthy families all around the UK still indirectly enjoying the proceeds of slavery.

Dr Draper added that the database’s findings may have implications for the “reparations debate”. Barbados is currently leading the way in calling for reparations from former colonial powers for the injustices suffered by slaves and their families

The Independent

There was the revelation on the weekend that UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s slave owning ancestors were among other wealthy families who received repatriation payments in the millions of pounds when converted to today’s value.  It seems ironic that these families would have encountered no significant roadblocks to get compensation for participating in the heinous act of slavery BUT those who are descendants of slaves are ignored by Britain which to this day continues to benefit from wealth earned from slavery and we (Barbados) continue suck salt.

There are the apologists who will proffer the rebuttal that this was a time when to own slaves was not regarded as a wrong, in fact it was institutionalized. It is the same explanation which Christians offer to explain why slavery was part of a way of life described in the Bible. Some also argue that It is also explains why the French exacted millions from Haiti.

It is the height of insensitivity shown to our ancestors by a predominantly Black country that Barbados refuses to engage in a rich debate about exacting reparations from countries which engaged in slavery. The irony is that Prime Minister Cameron and others of his ilk now occupy authority positions in governments and are able to levy APD taxes etc to the detriment of Barbados. Some things never change.

Read the startling revelation on The Independent  website


  1. Alexander Baring enslaved people at Spring Garden, Priddee and Spooners in St. Kitts. He received more than 10,000 pounds in compensation when slavery was abolished. That would be worth about 6 million Barbados dollars. When he died he had a net worth of 350,000 pounds, about 2.10 billion Barbados dollars in today’s terms.

    Nick Lesson cause Barings Bank a 1 billion USD loss in 1995.

    All I can say to this one is that a thief from a thief makes God laugh.


  2. Today St. Kitts is piss poor.


  3. Joseph Trotman, born Barbados 1803, died England 1868.

    Received 9006 pounds in compensation when slavery was abolished.

    Inherited Bulkley, Carmichaels, and the Valley plantations.

    His wife Susanna Bradshaw inherited Cane Garden and Warrens plantations from her guardian George Hewitt.

    On the death of the parents the 5 plantations were left to the 9 children, who had been born between 1836 and 1850.


  4. sometime i marvel at how we as blacks see oureelves. It was okay for the jews to get compensation, but not us of African decent. The euopean powers conspired to ensure Haiti did not succeed, The French extracted compensation from Hait for years and should be required to repay every cent. The British had promised to compensate the whites in zimbawe and they reneged

    There is light at the end of the tunnel. Last year i had posted an article to David where it pointed that some persons get compensation in south africa, but he did not publish it, or acknowledge receipt of it.,


  5. @ Simple Simon
    We think you have given good information to the uninitiated. Some people carelessly or maliciously confuse or conflate servitude and chattel slavery. But professional historians seldom do. These are two distinctively different concepts, as far apart as day and night. Simple Simon spoke about some beneficiaries of the chattel slavery global project. In addition, laws were passed in Barbados to economically empower poor whites like the Goddards and others as a result of servitude. For those of us whose ancestors were the victims of chattel slavery no such compensation was ever considered by ‘our’ parliament. We say monetary compensation is insufficient to prevent these kinds of atrocities in the future.


  6. without unity ,those who have done us wrong would always laughed in our faces. the black race is the most divided race. we talk a game but when it comes to be unified we distance ourselves from each other. look at caricom nations that are of equal colour supposed to trade with other and what are the results bickering and selfishness, how then do we expect others to treat us when we can;t treat each other right,
    the call for reparations if fair but would continue to be such and only “a call” because division and self hatred amongst our people,


  7. The Trotman’s who owned Bulkley, Carmichaels, Cane Garden, Warrens and the Valley plantations received 6 million Barbados dollars as compensation for the loss of their labourers and left a fortune to their 9 children the last of whom was born in 1850. My beloved grandmother who was born in 1879 and who died in 1979, when I was an adult inherited exactly nothing, and received exactly nothing for the loss of the labour of her grandparents, who were born at the same time as the Trotman children. If she had received compensation for the loss of her grandparents labour I am sure she would have left something for me. But she died owning nothing but an 18 x 12 chattle house with holes in its floor.

    That is the difference between 5 plantations and 6 million dollars and nothing.

    The problem with reparations is that all REASONABLE people agree that they should be paid, and the beneficiaries of slavery are still enormously wealthy and CAN STILL AFFORD TO PAY.

    The problem is that the beneficiaries of slavery DON’T WANT TO PAY. They don’t want to experience the burden of poverty. They would rather live in castles sitting on 5,000 acre estates, that live in an 18 x 10 chattle house with holes in the floor.

    That is the undisputable truth.


  8. We clearly see that JOE is not the brightest bulb, everything was NOT invented by the white man, 9/10 was stolen from other races, particularly the African race and refined to suit their lying purposes. The first billionaire in the world, was and still is a black man from the 12th century, i will leave you to do the research. Try as they might not even the Rothchilds have been able to accumulate the level of his wealth. Africa is filled with many wealthy black people, not all are suffering, however, there remains the destabilization created and continued in some states, again to continue the centuries old theft of wealth. Go peddle your white lies elsewhere.

    Miller……..I do not know how to explain to black women anymore that the garbage they put on their heads trying to look like white people is filled with mites and all kinds of insects and bugs, the chemicals they put in their hair, seeps into their pores and directly affects their thought processes.

    Mark Etheridge or Chris mchale……your arguments are lame, Ireland to this day has nothing but land, they never had any riches to steal and were never enslaved for over 300 years, it was all religious nonsense that got them thrown out of their land, ethnic cleansing……..try your garbage on people who are not aware, it might work.

    Reparation will go the way of the 40 acres of land and a mule (with the mule being the people who are waiting on reparations money) that was promised to the freed slaves by the federal government in America, they never got it. Europe is now facing bankruptcy

    Whites in London who realized they were now in the minority have recently and moved out of London and renamed themselves british whites, politicians in the Caribbean, with their inability to have clear vision, should take note and stop focusing on their own corruption.

    Black people continue at their own peril to pray and worship the white man’s god who has now destructively brought himself to his knees, the vatican is now only capable of rolling out pedophilia and rapes, orgies, male prostitution, debauchery at a level not seen since the days of constantine………..if blacks continue to follow this white god who is nearly broke and clutching at straws for survival, then they will once again drown while the culprits step over them to dry land, it is a matter of choice. Billions believed in the vatican and their city of lies, look at the outcome.


  9. JOE………the question you may want to answer here is why although the irish were treated nearly in the same manner as african slaves, for the years they were subjected to ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS CLEANSING, also known as EUGENICS in that era when directed at lower caste europeans, they still to this day 2013 see themselves as superior to black people????? That is the question you should answer and stop trying to get sympathy and add to the brainwash with your garbage.


  10. That should read…………………..Whites in London have now recognized that they are now in the minority and have moved into the countryside. They have renamed themselves british whites. For blacks who are not aware england was and still remains an island totally dependent on imports, the royal, majesty and all that other crap bestowed on the civil servants occupying buckingham palace was just a ploy to make the island sound larger than it really is. Guyana is bigger than England.


  11. lack of self confidence . the ability to be folowers .lack of selfworth .we see ourselves/as worthless. MLK showed us that being able to speak with one voice we can defeat the enemy. Again our trading partners within the regions does not even support one other give plenty lip service but when oush comes to shove only a few among the ranks would live up to agreements. .if we can.t share among ourselves does any one really believe that those who owe us would show the black race respect and do the right thing


  12. Simple Simon…thank you for that fascinating history and how it relates to today. You should consider writing a book your valuable knowledge should be shared. It would make great theater as well.


  13. One of our downfalls is attributed to us not passing on all that valuable information of black history to each other as well as to our descendants from century to century. That is one of the reasons why the lying whites who visit these websites, SOME of whom have ulterior motives, will continue to have the upper hand and forever believe the race stupid and label us accordingly.


  14. But we are stupid we have great spending power but would rather share with those who have manipulated us than among ourselves.how then can we/as a race survive economically when we keep doing the same foolishness that have kept us down.Voices like Malcolm X! Stokley Carmichael! and the great MLK have brought TRUTH to the race but how many have listened .Economically we are doomed cause we keep feeding the beast that did us wrong..then we sit back and talk about “they owe us”


  15. We might want to follow the examples of the indians, chinese and whites (who only believe in enriching their own races) and only spend within the black race. These races do not believe in enriching other races, the black race believes in enriching other races and not their own. Barbados is a very good example and case in point.

    “But we are stupid we have great spending power but would rather share with those who have manipulated us than among ourselves.how then can we/as a race survive economically when we keep doing the same foolishness that have kept us down”

    What an insightful analysis of the major hurdle facing the black race. So worthy of repeating that even Pachamama would be proud of you.

    But what a pearl of hypocritically prophetic after-the-fact advice?
    It’s a pity and crying shame that the last administration found it fit to encourage the development of a foreign (non-regional) white-owned retail shop and given tax concessions to the detriment of a locally black owned and controlled enterprise involved in a similar import and sell trade.
    While we will be seeing the burgeoning and prosperity of “Cost U-The-Same” we will be witnessing the demise of ShopSmart a black owned business employing many Bajans from bottom to the very top paying thousands of dollars into the local Treasury.

    Now, black activist ac, explain the paradox between this black managed government’s policy of orchestrating the enrichment of a foreign white business and the blatant commercial disenfranchisement of a black indigenous enterprise.

    You now see why the miller sees the DLP and its leader as just a bunch of hypocrites in all aspect of life.


  17. yeah miller but i am not so foolish not to understand the psychological damage done over a long period of time fueled by white domination and superiority which is in fact the root cause of the many problems and forever embedded in the psyche of the black race a burden for which there is no cure.


  18. Once again, black people are quite adept at aiding in their own brainwash and proudly continue the charade, this is 2013, there is no excuse over 500 years later, I would hate to think that 500 years from now black bajans will be spewing the same poor me, the whites brain washed us nonsense, like I heard one white guy telling another, “We did not have a lot of work to do on those blacks in Barbados at all” he very clearly believed that as a black person I did not understand what he meant. If you allow whites to continue the misdirection, lies, misinformation and enrichment at your expense, they will. People only do to you what you allow them to. Blacks continue their own brain wash by being so hard headed, regardless of how many times we keep repeating these issues.

    Miller…..I too wonder why the same concessions for the food industry was not give to the existing local black owned business in Bim, it would have achieved the even better results in helping to lower food prices on the island. I don’t believe they would have taken the concessions and keep the prices the same, hope not. i do believe it cost the taxpayers more to give a new foreign company those huge concessions.


  19. The strategy by this government to attack high prices and cost of living is to bring in outside competition. It was a 2008 manifesto promise. Local retailers have shown that they are in to inflating prices.

    The question we have to ask is whether the strategy is/will working.


  20. Again, we have reached the stage where we cannot blame the white man any longer for our own continued self-induced brainwash, it has been played out. Every error we make from this century going forward, we will have to take responsibility for, you cannot blame whitey fr everything. What we have to do, is the time we now spend watching each others every move trying to keep each other from progressing, would be better spent monitoring whitey’s move to see what he will come up with next, he is broke just like us, but he is also resourceful. Sick and tired of hearing blacks continued blaming of whites, for their own stupidity. Move on, and don’t give him the opportunity to re-enact slavery with the Part 2 version.


  21. I believe the resources the government is wasting with these concessions would be better spent in local food security by starting to reduce the nearly $800,000,000 annual food import bill, for five years i heard the talk over and over and over………………yet nothing has been done, but concessions given for another foreign entity to import more food. I understand that prices are low on some items only at Cost-You, how long will they keep that up for in Barbados, it is not enough to make an impact on the average persons weekly food bill, in the meantime the other food merchants will definitely feel it. There is only so much money to go around in an island that small. They certainly work real hard to create more problems, these leaders.


  22. @ WELL WELL
    you too seem to be brained spewing that pablum knowing nothing of what you speak and the long term damage done to the physche of the human mind when it interacts and fed constantly what others want them to belive and think.THIS form of mind control is what blacks have had to contend with and still does.THE believability factor is what controls the minds of blacks,in the same way you have chosen to believe that blacks after all these years are solely responsible to what is happening to them in 2013. Yes i do believe that some blame lies with the black community .however the whites were their masters and they must be held and be accountability for the past ! present! and future generations of black for the problems which they have to endure


  23. @well well

    The government did not give Cost u Less cash as far as we are aware. These were concessions to a company setting up a business. Are we saying the local agriculture sector does not receive concessions from government?


  24. David…..if agriculture was given the same or the required concessions as food import businesses, there is no way in hell the island’s food import bill would continue to be $800,000,000 and climbing.

    ac….it is clear that everything keeps going over your head, am sorry you have not reached that level of awareness and intellect, and clearly never will………………..sorry.


  25. With all the technology and information now available to everyone worldwide successfully turning the world into a village at the drop of a google, their is absolutely no remaining excuse for any race (accept maybe for the ones in the far reaches of the jungles who have no access) to be labeled or continue to portray themselves as stupid or uninformed victims. The victim scenario is also played out, the ones who prefer to sit on facebook everyday instead of accessing information for intellectual enrichment, have no one but themselves to blame.


  26. Yes well ! well! your inability to understand that indoctrination by any form can leave a good or bad imprint on the mind ceases to amaze me. then you talk above things that go over my head, just look at today society . everybody takes on a copy cat mentality based on trends . BTW who do you think is pulling our strings the BLACK economic POWER of which they do not own or the WHITE economic POWER who are the controllers and determine what we eat do or the way we think . Yes my dear in2013 dominance by those in charge is still alive and kicking and YOU too have become a victim .


  27. ac….do you understand what five centuries means??…………………….would black people need fifty more centuries, 200 more centuries before they realize that yes the seed was planted, but now after fifty thousand years, i am now responsible for my own actions and continued self-induced brainwash and i will start deprogramming the nonsense i like to believe in. Even for you, this is elementary stuff. Other races were slaves throughout the millineum, are they brainwashed and slave minded like the average blacks are today???, i think not.


  28. I can truthfully say, that in Barbados and the wider Caribbean the average black is less tolerant of their own skin color. hair texture and still display a lot more self-hatred than any other race. With all the boasted high level of intelligence, how would you go about still blaming the white race for your continued self-hatred?? I love my skin color and hair texture and is extremely happy to display both, regardless of what the black society believes is the better skin color or hair texture. I too am a product and descended from slaves. I am trying to break it down for you ac………How do you blame the whites for your preference in looking like someone else, i would blame the black parents and grandparents of every child that was born and raised hearing that black people have nappy hair and everyone else has good hair, that is where every successive black baby has heard that nonsense. In doing this black people keep passing on the same misinformation fro 500 years ago, and the whites don’t have to lift another finger, it’s all being done for them within the black race……………….ac…..I really hope you understood that, i mean………..don’t embarass yourself…..i can’t break it down less than that.

    The black devil would sit at the right hand of god and replace white jesus before you can drag ac kicking and screaming from intellectual darkness into the light of commonsense.

    Ac has the unenviable addiction of blaming others for everything that goes wrong or not to her liking under the Sun. Just watch when the shit hits the economic fan with this government and see how ac would go about justifying events by blaming the politically dead OSA for some 14 years of mismanagement. Blame you, blame me, blame the BLP. Just blame, blame, blame!

    One wonders if she is prepared to include the people who make up the current DLP administration in her categorization as repeated below:

    “BTW who do you think is pulling our strings the BLACK economic POWER of which they do not own or the WHITE economic POWER who are the controllers and determine what we eat do or the way we think .

    @Well
    You are so right about the 400 year brainwash and the fact that the creoles especially the cooks,housemaids,nannies,coachmen,grooms etc are those who passed on the myth of black stand back,brown stick around,white ya all right attitude of the enslaved population.I think you should set the record right however and recognise that there is only one race,the human race and that is also part of the subtle inf. complex passed on by the creoles.After all,we were not human beings like the whiteman.We did not have the same five innate urges as had the whiteman.We were like the dumb animals,therefore we belonged to the dumb animal race(which also is possessed of the same five urges) not the human race like whiteman,the European cave dweller who learned from Africa what was civilization and rehashed it as his own.I repeat there is one human race but different ETHNIC groups.Stop writing about a black race and a white race.That’s crap!
    Btw,the Lascelles family related to the Royal family,is notorious in Barbadian history as unabashedly dishonest in their commercial activities but by which they became excessively wealthy owning Lascelles in St James and Guinea in St John among other real estate here and in the UK.


  32. Yeah gabriel there is “only one race” .Once upon a time not so long ago a race decided “the white race” decided that a race of people are inferior and should be treated as such and the rest is history. every since then that black race has been struggling to accept there identity.In todays society where acceptance and guidlines are dictated by the white superior establishment as norm blacks would engage in practices that are acceptable and as a matter of fact some of such practices can be just forsurvival


  33. When will we (Barbados) get rid of the queen and all the royal this and that shit? How long does it take for a country to mature? Imagine a whole set of Members of Parliament happy to swear allegiance NOT to Barbadians but to a old woman and her mad-as-ass family!


  34. @Ping Pong

    You are correct that it defies logic. The same logic which we use to defend the decision of Barbados to make the CCJ our court of appeal.

    Let hope that we receive that reparation money shortly. so that we will be able to provide suitable accommodation and adequate nursing care for those poor elderly pensioners who have been dumped at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. No one seems to be interested in their plight.Not the Politicans, as these persons were not considered vote worthy at the recent general election, and not David Comissiong, who is taken up with the plight of a former drug runner and a foreigner.
    But isn’t it funny that Bajans not only dumped some elderly pensioners,but dumped a few politicians at the last election, only to see many of them taken back up, brushed off, and appointed to the Senate where they are able to qualify for a hefty pension next 5 years. And we call this Democracy? I call it two fingers (or one if you are a yank) in the air towards the electorate of this country.


  36. Gabriel Tackle……………yes there is only one race, the human race, but reality has shown us throughout the last more than five centuries, that being human does not automatically make other groups of humans accept people who do not look like them as such and unless and until we can educate the black race to that fact and pass on that information from generation to generation to deprogram what is still the norm 500 years later………………500 years from now our black babies will still grow up hearing about other races with “good hair” and “fair skin” On one of my visits to Barbados there were a group of blacks calling themselves “high yellow” whatever that means, i did not even want to know. There is still a trend of bleaching creams being sold and used in Barbados, the very young are the ones financially supporting this idiocy, it is an epidemic in Jamaica, because blacks still continue to see themselves as having inferior quality skin (a LIE) while in reality, they are blindly unaware that the black skin tone makes for a slower aging skin, and nothing in the world can change their opinion because of centuries of indoctrination within the black race of misinformation. It’s okay to say till you are blue in the face, oh we are all one race, but saying that will not make the problem go away. As long as the black race keep denying their self worth and centuries of positive contribution on this earth, while erroneously believing the white man saved us from doom in Africa, and while continually focusing on having “good hair” and “fair skin”, this problem will never go away. Seeing the white man as the enemy will also not solve the problems within the black race. The white man too has been programmed for survival, his problem is still centered around the DNA embedded and deluded belief of superiority. Waiting for the white man to deprogram the black race , is not going to happen. It is then our job to do it ourselves. I personally don’t see how reparations, in the form of money will help, appears there are those who think if or when reparation is paid we can all say “we are one race, the human race” and money will make the problems all go away, this line of thinking is dangerously delusional. There are many other positive ways to institute reparations. Paper money us now useless.

    I was studying a certain disciple some years ago and it involved digesting the US constitution, at that time and I believe it is still there today cause I have not heard of any ratification to the constitution in many decades, but it expressly stated that black people were 3/5th human. So you can jump and prance about being one race all you want, unless and until we face reality and stop the continued self-induced brainwash, nothing changes.


  37. The society continues to be it’s own worse enemy, enforcing the mythical belief on others in the community that unless your skin is “fair” or “white”, or your hair “straight or curly” you cannot become financially successful. We have to face reality, most people do not want to be confronted with the truth and prefer hide behind delusions. There was one experience I had in Barbados made me cringe, two young female lawyers were given an opportunity to be legal representative for an offshore bank, these two females refused to meet any of their white clients unless their weave or chemicalized hair was in place, despite me telling them that it was not necessary to portray yourself like someone else, just be yourself, how hard could that be, I was told I did not know anything, because as one of the idiots pointed out to me “we are the descendants of slaves, we will not be accepted otherwise”, suffice it to say that their representation of that offshore bank did not last long because it was not chemical hair or straight weaves that was needed to represent their white clients, but raw intelligence and common sense. We always seem to want to blame others for our own mistakes and misfortunes and prefer to live under deluded assumptions that we have to present a fake front, that does not represent the black race, to be accepted.


  38. the problem with comments like well! WELL! and Gabriel you people seem that Barbados is the whole world and form assumptions based on limited information. take a look back at when “BLACK POWER” was a very important part of the black community especially in north america notables like jesse jackson and other notable bloacks who were the forefront of such efforts played an important role in trying to empower blacks trying to free blacks minds from the stereotypical norms placed upon them by Caucasians. it seemed as if it was making inroads .However the movement only lasted for so long as it is evident that trying to remove a mindset instilled by the caucasian race was harder to remove than perceived. now today we see very few blacks revealing or endorsing the black POWER concept that was meant to empower blacks and indoctrinate the mind for self empowerment.. However one must understand that the beast that controls the wealth of this country also did their part to see a movement like that would not dare educated and survive long enough to removed the deadly scales of falsehood and untruths from the black people eyes . Therfore in today society we see blacks with no other choice than to revert to the “socalled “norms of what they have been told from childhood to adulthood are acceptable, within the White establishment.
    gone are the African wear! the Afro ! and we are back to Gucci! and Weaves, which are the socalled acceptable norms in the white establishment. Blacks have always struggled to survive and given up their true of identity which they have been robbed of would always be a struugle for blacks to overcome as it all boils down in todays worldto a matter of survival and acceptabilty by those who make the rules and for sure it is not BLACKS.


  39. you are absolutely correct Lawson
    no statues of the first slaves Irish. funny it was the Irish slaves that led most of the revolts but all we hear bout is some bussa.
    i also believe a white Englishman is whom actually did the documenting and persuading the queen to free the slaves in barbados.where is their statues???????????
    i think we should have one of a— big black man raping a poor Irish little girl—-statue to show the real barbados.
    after all it still is that way now.is it not???????/
    animals!


  40. ac……………..i will not go around and around with you………………you are now on your own………..however, i will leave you with food for thought, it will take you quite a few years to understand, some day you may get it, but i will not hold my breath……………………..when a child is born, as far as I know, that child’s mind is shaped by it’s parent(s) in preparation for the world, yes with outside interferences and distractions, but primarily by its parent(s)…….you may see this as a puzzle, but it is a starting place and reference point. I have never known of whites raising black generations of children, outside the slavery scenario. Good luck in grasping and understanding.

    Those who are trying to garner sympathy for the rapes started by the white man, don’t hold your breath. What you need to do is go put up statutes of the white rapists in England, thats where all the evil started.


  41. A lot of us are deeply embarassed in 2013, to see our black males who are supposed to be innovative, independent leaders still have to hold a book and pledge allegiance to the civil servants occupying buckingham palace, while screaming at the top of their lungs how independent Barbados is, this continues to be a disgrace and a slap in the face to our ancestry, you could fool some of the people some of the time………………………………….


  42. There is a fantastically written piece in barbados today.bb by Donna Avery, an accountant. The current leaders will do well to take notes.


  43. well well ! we are copy cats of our parents but not all of what we do or how we act are influenced by them society also helps to be part of our development and social “norms” keep being in denial! WELL! WELL!


  44. “We are copy cats of our parents” AC…………I do believe there is hope for you yet, and it did not take much time at all.


  45. When you are a black majority country, you should be capable of charting your own destiny, there is absolutely no excuse in existence to the contrary. If you are the black minority in any country, from experience i can see where you may be challenged. However, you still have control in what you want your children to grow up and understand and believe about self and their rich history. I would not want to tell my grands and great-grants that my ancestors were enslavers and thieves.


  46. Barbados is a predominantly Black country BUT political power cannot be divorced from those who have economic power. For example it is known that a single digit of the US population owns 35% of the total wealth.

    When you get your facts “correct” we will begin to listen to your vicious violent racist vituperations.
    Which Queen was on the British throne when the Abolition of Slavery or Emancipation Act was passed in 1833 and became effective in 1834?

    If you are referring to Queen Victoria she ascended to the throne in June 1837 and succeeded King William 1V.
    So go free your brain of ignorance and emancipate your mind of racist misinformation or you will always remain an intellectual king pygmy pretending to be a queen idiot.


  48. David…………..yes we are aware of the financial and political power of the greedy 1% ,in the US, this could also be calculated world wide as there are no more than 100 families in 7 billion people controlling the wealth, power and political systems world wide, but we have to start somewhere, this is nothing new, it has been happening through out the ages.


  49. What I take serious issue with is our black leaders reluctance to educate their own people, knowing that they themselves are pawns of the same system. There are no laws that I know of that prevents black leaders or black people from educating themselves.


  50. Well! WELL! but you don.t seem to understand that being “copy cats ” of our parents there is even greater infuences that help shape our standards and decesions EXHIBIT A “commercialisation” the same method and concept used in “Brainwashing or indoctrination of our physche . NOT enough to say that our parents are our “final say So”
