I’m not one to visit the so-called great houses here in Barbados because I see them as shameless monuments built on the crimes committed on this island against our enslaved African ancestors during the holocaust. However, recently I had some visitors to the island who specifically asked me to take them to Sunbury Plantation Great House in St Phillip. To be a good host, I agreed.

My experience there confirmed all my worst fears. The most shocking thing to me was the way in which those who market tours of this plantation house as inspiring “a vivid impression of life on a sugar estate in the 18th and 19th centuries” deliberately and systematically erased from this story even the existence of the enslaved African people on whose labour the entire operation of the plantation rested. Nowhere in any of its publicity did it even acknowledge the existence of the majority of people that actually lived and worked on this plantation. According to the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery which is based at University College, London, between 1817 and 1832 the number of enslaved African people living and working on Sunbury plantation never fell below 200, yet the story of their lives has been erased completely from the story of this plantation.

So determined is this effort that even in the post-slavery period, there is no acknowledgement of existence of the workforce that continued to maintain the plantation. An example of this determination can be seen in the inscription on one of the exhibits which reads, “With no running water at the time, ladies of the house would bathe in this bath in water up to their hips that would have to be hauled in and later emptied by hand”. With this phraseology, we don’t need to know who hauled the water in and later emptied it by hand. After all we don’t care about them and their lives. We only care about the ‘ladies of the house’.

This attempt to simply disappear from history the lives and experiences of the enslaved Africans, who are the ancestors of the majority of this country’s population, is a racist insult and slap in the face to their descendants. It’s time to stop whitewashing our country’s history and if tourists can’t stomach the fact that plantations were a crime scene, then maybe they shouldn’t visit them.

    I share your sentiments totally as I have been saying this for years. We celebrate those places and, in many cases, they were places where genocide took place, the genocide of our ancestors. Nothing to celebrate in my view.

    The useless traitor governments are only interested in making money off the CRIME SCENES, not in telling any story of suffering, pain, death, and robbery of lives……… those plantation structures should be erased if they cannot tell the whole criminal story..

    Many stories are SO UGLY that no one should profit from them, but guess who profits the most…the spawn of the criminals who committed the crimes…..and the slave minded are PROUD that others make money from those houses of pure terror for our ancestors…

    And some of them are so SHAMELESS they got the nerve to want Afrika to pay them too, and feed their useless asses, but hiding the story of the slave trade and the many crimes committed to whitewash and make it look like it was one of their fairytale fantasies….to prostitute for tourist dollars because they don’t want to hurt anyone’s feeling….public nuisances…

    they got another plantation, that one should not even exist anymore for what went on there…one Sin Nicholas Abbey…they too love to gush about that one..

    the list is very long…..but expected on Slave island Barbados..

    GUESS WHAT?
    THIS RANT BY YOU FOLK WILL CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED THERE AND AT OTHER PLANTATIONS IN THE PAST,
    AND IT WILL CHANGE A LOT CONCERNING WHAT IS HAPPENING UP THERE AND ON THE ISLAND TODAY,
    AND IT WILL ALSO CHANGE WHAT WILL HAPPEN UP THERE AND ON THE ISLAND IN THE FUTURE.

    WHAT IS VERY CLEAR TO ME IS THAT NONE OF WUNNAH WHO COME HERE DAILY AND PERENNIALLY SPEWING HATE, AND EFLUXING BOVINE EXUDATES HAVE NOTHING OF VALUE TO CONTRIBUTE WITH RESPECT TO THE LOT OF THE STRUGGLING AND SUFFERING MASSES UNDER THE DICTATORSHIP OF MUGABE MUTTLEY, AND SO ALL YOU CAN DO IS BULL SHIT ABOUT THE PASS, WHICH YOU CAN NOT CHANGE, AND ENGAGE IN MORONIC MOUTHINGS CAUSE YOU CANT CHANGE WHAT IS HAPPENING CURRENTLY, NOR DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO ALTER THE COURSE OF THE FUTURE.

    BUT CARRY ON AND BRING MIRTH, EVERY NEWS PUBLICATION NEEDS A CARTOON CORNER
    JUST STOP PRETENDING THAT THE NUMEROUS POSTS THAT YOU PRESENT DAILY ACTUALLY OFFERS ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE TO FACILITATE THE EXISTENCE OF ANYONE.

    WHAT HAVE ANY OF YOU BRIMBLERS CONTRIBUTED TO THE ISLAND IN GENERAL, OR TO INSPIRING THE YOUNG OR HELPING THE AGED ETC.?

    Ideas are not copyrighted and Governments implement national health services not random people.
    There was a British national health service set up in 1946 and Doctors and Nurses were recruited from around Commonwealth.
    So you idea was an unoriginal copy derivative.

    What about Firhaana Bulbulia?
    by TREVOR G. MARSHALL FIRHAANA BULBULIA is a 27-year-old Muslim Barbadian. As such she is not your typical Barbadian young lady.
    She is a member of a global community of females who are constrained and constricted by inflexible Islamic religious and cultural laws, one of which is that she cannot appear in public without wearing the hijab (in Arabic, “hair covering”.)
    In this 21st century, Firhaana needs to be emancipated from this and other rules which control most Muslim young ladies the world over, but in Barbados she has emerged as an estimable young lady who, for the last ten years or so, has been articulating a case for Barbadian youth in several areas without drawing attention to the plight of young Muslim women in particular.
    Empower
    If Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley wanted to empower a member of an ethnic and religious minority in Barbados by appointing such a person to the Senate, she could have done no better than selecting Firhaana Bulbulia, rather than Khaleel Kothdiwala, because the lives of the two Barbadian Muslims are almost totally and qualitatively different.
    Most Muslim women are undervalued, undereducated, underappreciated, underpaid, overlooked, overworked, restricted in their clothing and social activities.
    They are a marginalised group who are treated as second-class persons by their menfolk, and if, they seek to control their own future or to marry black men, they can be cast out from the Muslim community.
    In the Senate, Firhaana would have been the perfect voice for such female Muslims, who also cannot engage in swimming, tennis, athletics, gymnastics or any other competitive outdoor (or indoor) sports for which women have to wear abbreviated clothing.
    Stoned
    Muslim women can be stoned to death for exhibiting flesh or controlling their own sexuality; they must always wear the hijab (head covering) and sometimes the burka (face covering).
    They can legally be beaten by their husbands; they can be married at age 15 to strangers; they can be stoned to death for “adultery” and they cannot own property. The list goes on.
    If Prime Minister Mottley had chosen Firhaana Bulbulia, she would have struck a major blow to emancipate Muslim women and girls throughout the region. The whole of Barbados, including the Independent senators, would have shouted her praises to the skies, because Firhaana can do more for Barbadians of all gender types and youth
    than Khaleel ever could do, even if he wanted to.
    This is our considered perspective, rather than the knee-jerk reaction of most Barbadians, including noted political scientists who blissfully ignore the most salient point in the Kothdiwala issue – he is a fundamentalist Muslim in a secular Western CARICOM jurisdiction.
    As such, he is not merely your typical bright Barbadian Christian teenager, as our sages blithely suggest. He is bound by Islamic laws which are immutable and he seems to be the most privileged Muslim in this island.
    Privileged
    He is the son of a wealthy fundamentalist Muslim, a member of a privileged ethnic minority in this island and a member of the most controversial major religion in the world. Islam requires that all Muslim believers, including 18-year-olds born in Barbados, hold fast to male supremacy in the home, in public and in the state.
    Aspire
    Thus in Khaleel’s religion, Mottley could never become a member of Parliament, a lawyer or Prime Minister or any other career to which modern non-Muslim women aspire or pursue. Check what happened to Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan – assassinated by devout Muslims.
    It would appear that most Barbadians are ignorant of the socialisation that Muslims undergo and this is why they desired the Prime Minister to heap more privileges on a youth who does not require any more promotion.
    His future is assured, but that of Firhaana is likely to be that of a voice in the wilderness.
    Prime Minister Mottley can appoint Firhaana when the next vacancy in the Senate occurs.

    Malcolm Little joined the Nation of Islam, and changed his name to Malcolm X. The “X” stood for his unknown African name

    “So before I get involved in anything nowadays, I have to straighten out my own position, which is clear. I am not a racist in any form whatsoever. I don’t believe in any form of racism. I don’t believe in any form of discrimination or segregation. I believe in Islam. I am a Muslim. And there’s nothing wrong with being a Muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of Islam. It just teaches us to believe in Allah as the God. Those of you who are Christians probably believe in the same God, because I think you believe in the God who created the universe. That’s the One we believe in, the one who created the universe, the only difference being you call Him God and I–we call Him Allah. The Jews call him Jehovah. If you could understand Hebrew, you’d probably call him Jehovah too. If you could understand Arabic, you’d probably call him Allah.

    But since the white man, your “friend,” took your language away from you during slavery, the only language you know is his language. You know, your friend’s language. So you call for the same God he calls for. When he’s putting a rope around your neck, you call for God and he calls for God. And you wonder why the one you call on never answers you.

    So that once you realize that I believe in the Supreme Being who created the universe, and believe in him as being one–I also have been taught in Islam that one God only has one religion, and that religion is called Islam, and all of the prophets who came forth taught that religion–Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, all of them. And by believing in one God and one religion and all of the prophets, it creates unity. There’s no room for argument, no need for us to be arguing with each other.

    And also in that religion, of the real religion of Islam–when I was in the Black Muslim movement, I wasn’t–they didn’t have the real religion of Islam in that movement. It was something else. And the real religion of Islam doesn’t teach anyone to judge another human being by the color of his skin. The yardstick that is used by the Muslim to measure another man is not the man’s color but the man’s deeds, the man’s conscious behavior, the man’s intentions. And when you use that as a standard of measurement or judgment, you never go wrong.

    But when you just judge a man because of the color of his skin, then you’re committing a crime, because that’s the worst kind of judgment. If you judged him just because he was a Jew, that’s not as bad as judging him because he’s Black. Because a Jew can hide his religion. He can say he’s something else–and which a lot of them do that, they say they’re something else. But the Black man can’t hide. When they start indicting us because of our color that means we’re indicted before we’re born, which is the worst kind of crime that can be committed. The Muslim religion has eliminated all tendencies to judge a man according to the color of his skin, but rather the judgment is based upon his deeds.

    And when, prior to going into the Muslim world, I didn’t have any–Elijah Muhammad had taught us that the white man could not enter into Makkah in Arabia, and all of us who followed him, we believed it. And he said the reason he couldn’t enter was because he’s white and inherently evil, it’s impossible to change him. And the only thing that would change him is Islam, and he can’t accept Islam because by nature he’s evil. And therefore by not being able to accept Islam and become a Muslim, he could never enter Makkah. This is how he taught us, you know.

    So when I got over there and went to Makkah and saw these people who were blond and blue-eyed and pale-skinned and all those things, I said, “Well!” But I watched them closely. And I noticed that though they were white, and they would call themselves white, there was a difference between them and the white one over here. And that basic difference was this: in Asia or the Arab world or in Africa, where the Muslims are, if you find one who says he’s white, all he’s doing is using an adjective to describe something that’s incidental about him, one of his incidental characteristics; so there’s nothing else to it, he’s just white.

    But when you get the white man over here in America and he says he’s white, he means something else. You can listen to the sound of his voice–when he says he’s white, he means he’s a boss. That’s right. That’s what “white” means in this language. You know the expression, “free, white, and twenty-one.” He made that up. He’s letting you know all of them mean the same. “White” means free, boss. He’s up there. So that when he says he’s white he has a little different sound in his voice. I know you know what I’m talking about.

    This was what I saw was missing in the Muslim world. If they said they were white, it was incidental. White, black, brown, red, yellow, doesn’t make any difference what color you are. So this was the religion that I had accepted and had gone there to get a better knowledge of it.”

    The Barbados National Trust’s 1988 Open Houses Programme continues on Wednesday, march 30 when Sunbury Plantation House, St. Philip will be open for the Trust from 2:30 – 5:30 p.,. Admission is Bds. $8 per person and this includes a welcome drink.

    To reach sunbury, travel east along Highway 5. It is about one and a half miles past Carrington Factory in St. Philip. Watch for the National Trust signs and turn left on the Sunbury sign.

    Set in six acres of spacious grounds and sheltered by a woodland of mature mahogany trees, Sunbury Plantation House and the adjacent working sugar plantation have a documented history reaching back 300 years to the 1600s. The house was restored by Keith and Angela Melville of Little Bentley, Christ Church, but the property predates the Great Fire of London in 1666, the Declaration of American Independence in 1776 and the Federation of Canada in 1857.

    Now the lived-in family home of Sally and Nicholas Thomas, Sunbury Plantation House presents a unique private collection of horsedrawn carriages, domestic and other memorabilia of life in the Caribbean in bygone days. The collection is displayed in the gardens and “below stairs” in the old converted yam cellars of the house.

    A delightful courtyard restaurant and bar with fountain, coral stone arches and many green plants has recently been added to Sunbury. The house itself contains fine antiques, old prints and maps dating back to 1763. It features a Georgian lounge and classic dining room whilst upstairs the private rooms display Victorian and other furnishings once used in everyday life in Barbados.

    Photographs of old Bridgetown and its horse-drawn trams, the “New barbadoes railway” as portrayed in the London Illustrated news of 1882, a rare collection of “Cries of old London” prints and etchings presenting the story of sugar, can all be viewed at Sunbury – one of the most interesting plantation “Great Houses on the island.

    It was at one time called Chapman Plantation and was owned by Matthew Chapman. It first appeared on the Ford Map of 1674 as Chapman “with a caddle mill”. (Chapmans also appears in the Ligon Map of 1650 as one of the first planters). Matthew Chapman died in 1693 and th estate later went on to be occupied and owned by Nathaniel Branker. Then the name was changed to Brankers Plantation shown in the Moll Mapp of 1717. The next owner was James Butler Harris who lived there with his wife Elizabeth. James Harris died in 1777. At James Harris’s death, the estate was sold to John Henry Barrow and his brother George. (Actually the sale was negotiated in 1775 before Harris’s death).

    In 1816 the Honourable John Barrow inherited the house and estate from his father. It was during his lifetime that the plantation and house changed its name to Sunbury, after an estate which the Barrow family owned in England.

    Thomas and John Daniel were the next owners who bought Sunbury in 1838. The Daniels were also relatives of the Barrow family. The Daniels were absentee owners and the estate was managed by Mr. John Charles Armstrong in 1872. In 1888 Alistair Cameron married Laura Suzanna Roope. (Miss Roope was related to the Daniels). The Cameron family had five children, but only three survived to maturity. Marcella, who married Commander Peebles and lived at Bayley’s Plantation in St. Philip. Miss Helen Cameron who lived in England until her father’s death and then returned to Barbados and lived at Sunbury with her sister Francis until their deaths in 1980 and 1981.

    The National Trust in co-operation with the Barbados Transport Co-op Society’s (Tel: 428-6565) 24-hour service will agein be offering a package tour for visitors. Buses will pick up visitors from selected points on the west and south coasts. The cost including round trip transport, entrance and a complimentary welcome drink is Bds $20 per person. For reservations, call 428-6565 as soon as possible, and not later than noon on the day of the opening.

    One of the most profound letters ever written to expose the whole circus of hypocrisy performing in ‘genteel’ Barbados while pretending to be at the cutting edge of the World of equal opportunity.

    Before the young KK can take up his government-donated sea in the Senate- or even to vie at some date to enter the HoA- he has to show his unswerving commitment to the abolition of gender apartheid in multi-cultural Barbados.

    Let him immediately take up the cudgel, like Peter Tosh, in the fight for Equal Rights & Justice for the women who are forced into adhering to those discriminatory practices of Islamic fundamentalist groups in Barbados; and especially those at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder which exists at the heart of the Islamic community in Barbados.

    There should be No support for KK in his ‘fight’ to enter Parliament (despite all the unjustified barriers) until he himself keeps to the promise he made on BU some 2 to 3 years ago of demolishing that cultural shack of gender apartheid and snobbery in modern Barbdo(e)s.

    We are sure most objective thinkers will back him to the hilt in the struggle against not only those in opposition to the ‘Youth’ entering Parliament at 18 but, more importantly, to be firmly against those Islamic sexist males who still believe it is ‘Kosher’ to force females to pray to the same man-made male god in a goat-pen functioning as an annexe to the all-males-business-oriented’ club called the mosque.

    So too can all other Barbadians and millions of women all across the Islamic World.

    Then why make noise in places like the UK, France and North America when they can leave and go to live in Mecca at any time?

    So why complain about the Independent Senators doing what they have been ‘selected’ by the President to do in the interest of democracy?

    Woman’s rights are a separate issue to anti-muslim arguments
    as are anti-muslim arguments with anti-terrorism

    haters merge them all up and talk crap

    warmongers propaganda are responsible
    when they switched up mission statement to talk about woman’s rights 10 years after invading Afghanistan

    I think you have cut and pasted random Swahili with Malcolm X’s name el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz which he adopted after completing the Hajj to Mecca.

    When speaking of higher things it is important to stay grounded
    so you are bringing in the energy from above and below into your centre
    and not dissipating energy outside yourself

    Some common expressions for what it means to stay grounded include:

    Staying focused on the present
Being strong in your sense of self-worth
Having a sense of purpose
Deeply trusting yourself
Staying connected to nature
Maintaining balance
Creating space for mindfulness

    How To Stay Grounded and Centered: 6 Techniques

    Stay Grounded with Meditation
    Disconnect from Social Media and the News
    Practice Deep Breathing
    Connect with Nature to Literally Ground Yourself
    Forget Yourself and Serve Others
    Ground Yourself with Positive Affirmations

    We have minorities living in Barbados, born in Barbados going about their lives and we insist on riding the biases and bigotry being popularized in other countries to destabilize ours. Ignorance should be the greatest sin.

    I said Malcolm Afrikanized his name, there is a whole site dedicated to him by scholars, his quotes, his beliefs, his writings etc, just as there is for Nana Welsing.

    “Blessed We Are” by Peia★The Muse of Dance Tatiana Cañas★Soul improvisation
    Blessed we are
    to dance on this ground,
    The rhythm of saints to carry the sound.
    We hold a prayer for the earth,
    for the ones yet to come,
    ‘May you walk in beauty and remember your song.’
    Remember why you came here,
    Remember your life is sacred.

    “Kiss the Earth” (La Luna) by Ajeet Kaur★The Muse of Dance Tati Cañas★[Soul improvisation]
    Walk quietly my love Let’s kiss this earth we walk upon With our steps The moon she shines In the silence of your mind Close your eyes Ayaya La Luna Ayaya La Luna What is the sound Of the song in your heart Listen Close Dance wildly my love Let’s throw our songs into the wind And let them echo echo YaYa La Luna YaYa La Luna La Luna ilumina YaYa La Luna La Luna ilumina YaYa La Luna Walk quietly my love Let’s kiss this earth we walk upon With our steps The moon she shines In the silence of your mind Close your eyes YaYa La Luna

    I will definitely have to address this in one of my books, but can’t for the life of me understand why the government want reparations for enslavement of our ancestors if they are erasing the very WORSE aspects of the trading in humans for hundreds of years.., it makes no sense, you are colluding to rewrite history to keep the slavery tourism in place to oppress, disenfranchise, rob and discriminate against descent as has occurred since the 1800s……so who the hell is going to pay you anything, and WHAT do you want payment for, i sure wouldn’t pay you a dime and would fight you TOOTH AND NAIL to make sure you get NOTHING……seeing as it is a scam being run on the descendants of the enslaved using them and their long gone ancestors, anyway…

    someone from another island weighed in on this and the people are quite aware that they are being used to benefit others…who have no right.. and no entitlement.

    “Barbados was a hellhole,” Comissiong says. “For black people, Barbados was a brutal, hellish society.”
    And it remains so, for Barbados black majority population!

    Tourists visit Auschwitz cognisant that a holocaust took place in that town. The authorities recognised the value of promoting this horror to the world as a reminder that such events should never be repeated. So why have all of our elected governments since our independence refused to acknowledge the country’s historical slave legacy. Why have they continued to disenfranchise their own people whilst assisting other groups?

    Reparations are for the Spirits and Souls not the pockets

    British are robbing Russian Assets for a lil war

    Queen of England should be robbed of hers for 400 years of Babylon Oppression

    But you can’t reason with stupid

    TLSN..it’s a travesty, centuries of Black/Afrikan genocide, and even today the youngsters in our families can tell you that Afrikan history is NEVER taught in its totality in the schools on the island, it’s the same old lies brushed in whiteness….and they don’t like it one little bit, one was speaking to me about it only last week..

    ..,the ugliness is that it’s the black faces who now claim they are republic and invoking Bob Marley and pimping for reparations… are the ones PERPETRATING IT with their two-face deceit and hypocrisy;..
