It’s opulence it’s service all included all the time fulfill your desires No Limits all lavish Chic days Posh Nights Live Your Dreams elegant Royal fulfilled two hearts five stars one name sandals call 1800 Sandals how are y’all happy what’s today Thursday okay there I am how are youall doing hold on I had to cough right when I said that how are y’all today we’re finally going to be covering a topic that I’ve been wanting to cover for over a year for probably like my whole life

For a long time if I’m being truthful but that I had done the research for um a long time ago and I was like when will be the best time to actually get people to have a really truthful honest conversation about our Resort plantation system and shout out to the

State um the United States uh travel advisory for putting little Jamaica on the map for the wrong reason but now we can have the Conversation and we’re going to go through what the state department see what happens when you cough then you forget your words the state department which is what I was trying to say what the state department actually said about our lovely Lial country because I found it I’m really interesting fix the audio

Okay the camera is working and everything is on all right so let’s get into NOP that’s not the right one there we go into the agenda so step one turning Paradise into a plantation because people unfortunately um seem to think that it’s normal to have all these Resorts and

That we just magically ended up on this island Jamaica is full of plantations some of which still exist and they are now Resorts which brings me to step two turning the plantation into a resort step three and truthfully I mean this with my whole chest nobody deserves an all-inclusive cheap Caribbean vacation

Because it’s at the expense of the people that literally live on the island all right and spoiler alert no they don’t pay those workers good and that’s why certain Resort systems AKA sandals don’t allow you to tip those workers either because it’s easier to control people that you have forced into poverty

Then is ethical travel possible I get this question a lot when I go on my little tie raids um on Instagram about this topic and I think the answer is yes with a lot of research and a lot of cash you do have to pay if you want the level

Of service that a lot of these resorts are pushing it is not going to be found on cheapcaribbean.com you should want to go to a place that’s actually paying the workers because then you wouldn’t be afraid that said workers might tee your things and honestly anytime I hear about

That it is what it is what did you expect to happen and then last but not least reparations for the Caribbean and why our enslavers received our reparations all the way until 2015 yes H so let’s get into it so first I want to start off with the happy parts

Thank you to patreon I appreciate you all and an extra thank you we had a patreon live stream yesterday talking about New Year’s resolutions why you know they just set you up to fail part particularly why the winter should really be for napping and not all this

Extra labor your body is tired you like me might have a vitamin D deficiency currently because it is dark and drab where you are so we should go outside um it’s hard in New York it’s cold an extra shout out um to Allison a Allison W

David Ed guy Wanita Judy and Robert I appreciate you all and all of your support and we also talked about the crater economy and why this giant push from I don’t think it was just l Twitter to be honest I keep pressing the wrong button I don’t know okay here we go

Because it moved um pushing everybody into entrepreneurship was never the best idea it was never the best idea and now it’ll be two years I’ve been doing this full-time in July I have some thoughts I think they tracked with what my original thoughts would be but you know there are

Some downsides to turning your favorite hobby into your sole income especially in this economy so that’s what we talked about and then we also on Tuesday we had a live stream um a little bit more spicy I would say about the discourse of you know the if you don’t Joe vote for Joe

Crew so I think it’s interesting and no I don’t agree with it which is why it’s on patreon so yes all right so let’s get into it if you didn’t see last week the state department here in the United States of America issued a level three travel advisory to Jamaica

There is a plane flying overhead hopefully it’s not loud and it should be noted that Jamaica usually sits on a travel two to be honest we’re we’re rarely on the three we’re usually out a two sometimes we’re at a one most of the time it’s at the

Two if you are not in the colonizing world you’re usually probably sitting at a two for what it’s worth because the state department you know is run by the United States one of the things I think is really interesting in terms of what was issued on January 2 3rd 2024 so now

We’re it’s almost two weeks I think last week was the big media frenzy around it it states reconsider travel to Jamaica due to crime and Medical Services America should not be saying anything to anybody about medical services when people in America are literally dying in front of the hospital because hospitals

Won’t service people but I digress US Government Personnel under chief of mission calm security responsibility are prohibited from traveling to many areas due to increased Risk please read the entire travel advisory Country summary violent crimes such as home invasions armed robbery um assaults you can see on the screen

What that says I can’t say that so early in the live stream or the algorithm is going to get me and homicides are common particularly assaults of an intimate nature occur frequently including at allinclusive Resorts end quote local police often do not respond effectively to Serious criminal in ents when arrests

Are made cases are infrequently prosecuted to a conclusive sentence this is from the United States state department the same United States that last month discovered in the state of Mississippi that not only had an off-duty police officer hit a black man with their car a young black man at that

They then decided to take the person they just murdered via vehicular homicide to the morg with their identification somehow misplaced their identification a that the mor verified was on them did not inform their mother then purposely put said young man into a grave behind a prison that has an

Estimated and growing over 500 people in said Mass grave I just this is unserious this is wildly unserious to be honest for the United States to be saying the Jamaican government doesn’t take crime series The American if we were to put a list out of all the black people in last

Year alone that were murdered by the police but because it was not caught on film nobody bothered to post a black Square about we will be here a long time we will be here a long time but the black squares got posted and you know people because they were locked inside

During the Panorama got to go outside and participate in their watered down version of a protest haven’t been going to protest since unfortunately Eric Garner was murdered here in New York the version particularly in New York of people co-opting protests because they simply wanted to go outside fascinating

And I am looking forward to in the next few years um black academics digging into that because white liberalism H but apparently the Jamaican police are wless which for what it’s worth they are but more wless than over here no it’s not true also reading is fundamental if

You read through the list of what parishes so parishes are simil parishes like Louisiana has parishes which are similar to counties because Jamaica is so small you could think of them like that I wouldn’t necessarily consider them States Jamaica is a tiny Island um but we have parishes instead I

Thought it was interesting um with my family being from little tiny quiet St Thomas Parish often c um dub St Thomas Parish that we are on the list I was like not St Thomas Parish specifically Church Corner neighborhood near yalis the only thing in yalis is jerk chicken

And jerk pork very good jerk chicken and very good jerk pork on the side of the road if people don’t want to come and have any wonderful more for me love that very happy that the jerk chicken is just for we now to note St Thomas parish as

Well as most of the parishes listed on the travel advisory list tourists don’t go there anyway all of this H over what most tourists go to Montego Bay and that is a separate conversation as to why most tourists then particularly tourists who think that they can come and whine in

Line on our dime then complain that they’re not having a actual Jamaican experience well sweede you’re in the resort and we’re only in the resort as indentured servants so it’s a little much for us to have wine and teach you to line you know and also do our job to

Get pennies for what it’s worth St Katherine Parish on here as do not travel and Spanish Town I think spice got a giggle out of this I will say as did my mom side because that’s where they’re from all right I think it’s interesting to just suppose Jamaica specifically

Getting a level three and to see who else is getting a level three because rightfully so and I have mixed feelings about this which is why we’ll get into it because personally if all the resorts in Jamaica magically disappeared instantaneously I would be cheering you are now seeing the government of Jamaica

Push back and be like hey we are not on the same as the other level three people usually to get a level three travel warning there is some we’re 10 minutes in we could probably say this there’s terrorism going on acts of genocide Etc which is why Israel is on the list the

Ironic thing about Israel being uh reconsidered travel level three is do not travel specifically to Gaza due to terrorism and armed conflict getting paid for by who the United States government with our taxpayer money which they voted on again today so please go call your rep call call them again send

Them another email and bother them because it is absolutely ridiculous there is no reason for Jamaica to be on um a level three one of the reasons cited is that in the month of January 60 people were murdered in Jamaica last year in Jamaica less than 2,000 people

There are less than 2,000 murders in the entire Island which according to the Jamaica Gleaner which is one of our national newspapers is down by 7.8% the murders that occur in January unfortunately large amounts of them due to gang conflict we this is not unfortunately new this is not comparing tiny little

Jamaica that is depending where you are mostly relatively safe if you’re a tourist definitely safe because you’re not you don’t even know where Spanish Town is to go into Spanish Town and honestly you shouldn’t be bothering with people to begin with to compare Jamaica to Israel where Israel is committing an

AC of genocide is wild Behavior it’s wild Behavior it makes no sense to know we’re not going to talk about the Bahamas um in this we’re going to focus on Jamaica the Bahamas also received a travel advisory um as well the last time that America tried to pull this stunt

With the Bahamas the Bahamas which is a predominantly black country as is Jamaica issued a travel warning against the United States citing all the wrongs done to Black Americans in this country as they should because America’s wildly dangerous America has always been for many years giving trailer park with honestly I

Think the Gucci belt felled off so on how colonization turned what was Paradise into a literal Plantation a bit of history and I figured we’d start with one of my favorite songs from chronics Shew Afric now here comes the that song will always be applicable when we’re talking about J in the

Caribbean all right hold on pause keep going so when Elizabeth decided to part depart this Earth I did a live stream this is a little bit over there a lot of plane traffic going on right now um a little bit over a year ago onto how the crown

Has specifically benefited as well as all of England from colonizing the Caribbean and not just colonizing the Caribbean but specifically extracting labor through child slavery from Caribbean people which by a miracle and fighting with them we have survived to present day and one of the things um that should be noted

Because America is literally fighting against black history as we speak in Florida they have banned certain um large amounts over hundreds of books specifically Ron de santis has implemented language in the curriculum in Florida where they are now teaching the children that certain enslaved black Americans learned transferable skills No

Such Thing occurred No Such Thing occurred and it cannot be said enough times that the way Catt slavery was so purposeful and so nasty they specifically stole people from West Africa that were rice Farmers that that um had specialized skills that knew how to do certain things because the

Colonizers that te them did not know how to do any labor so in terms of the United States and in Jamaica specifically I thought we would play this little clip all the other enslaved people they put in apprenticeship and then four years later in we are what 1834 1838

Then we finally got our alleged freedom however nearly 30 years later in St Thomas Parish the residents of St Thomas Parish realized Reen we’re still not free what what is the purpose of this so in terms of Jamaica emancipation occurred in 1834 after five to seven wars depending on what history book you

Read and who wants to count you know the veing rebellions and the actual Wars that the Maroons conducted against England as well as um tashi’s Rebellion which is a war of over one 1,000 enslaved people in Jamaica were like you know what if the average age in the

Lifespan of an enslaved African in Jamaica was seven years what is the purpose to which Jamaicans then said we will burn down this place and proceeded to burn down the place in St Thomas spish specifically I don’t think it played the whole clip but because the

Tech trying to trying to not mess with it I’m not going to go back to it so I’ll just repeat it because I said it and I remember and specifically in St Thomas Parish which is forgotten Parish 30 years after alleged emancipation people were still essentially being worked for free being mistreated then

You have um the Morant Bay Rebellion Bay is still the capital of St Thomas Parish to which people lit the courthouse on fire lit the surrounding um government buildings on fire and proceeded to fight with um their white overlords who were British and unfortunately that led to the execution

Of over 100 Jamaicans specifically um oh what is his first name what is Gordon’s first name hold on Paul ble and then George William Gordon he has three first names who are two of Jamaica’s seven national heroes leted to execution of that which shows to tell you that

Even though emancipation was supposed to have occurred in 1834 it took many decades if not a hundred years for formerly enslaved people in Jamaica to finally receive their freedom and when we actually finally did receive our freedom the plantation system came in the plantation system even though it has

Been popularized by sandal Resorts which sandal Resort is owned by a white Jamaican family and we’re going to get into that because it’s wildly problematic the Plantation Resort system has been put into place since 1890 Freedom unfortunately has barely found we even though we have continuously pushed back to um have our

Freedom on the tiny Island okay which brings me to this wonderful book so I’m going to make me small so y’all could if you want to um find the book and I have over here in my outline so when I read this book I was so moved

By this book I really wanted to do a full colonizer exposed video which I’ve had um that Series has run mostly on patreon for the better part of two and a half years but there are a few instances of that series here on YouTube the reason why it runs on patreon is because

You can’t really censor yourself from saying certain things so that’s why it runs on there we haven’t had a new installation of it on patreon for a while to be honest the newest installations of the series have been on YouTube with the most recent one being um the Israel colon colonizer expose

Video from last year October now specifically with this book let me pull up my notes when I read the book originally I wanted to do a filmed video about this and this outline sat here for over a year and we didn’t do the we I I didn’t do the video

And so when this came up I was like now is the perfect time to finally have this conversation about what has actually been going on the Caribbean for literally hundreds of years so specifically if I can figure out which part of the of where I want to go here

In this this is why I should number things okay here we go one of the things that is very perplexing about history history is always written in the vantage point of the alleged winner of the person who controls a narrative which in terms of Caribbean history Caribbean history has been written Through The

Eyes of England Through The Eyes of England of oh we realized we were wrong we shouldn’t have enslaved them people you know we’re trying to do the right we gave them emancipation we gave them emancipation in 1834 which is 30 years before the US gave black Americans emancipation see we

Can take the moral High ground and drink our tea and eat our crumpets and yes hip hip Cheerio that is not what occurred Jamaica again after Haiti freed themselves in 1801 During the haian Revolution um in one of what is the most outstanding displays of of ensl enslaved

Africans in the Western Hemisphere being like you know what I’m tired I’m not doing this with you and freed themselves from France that inspired a lot of other Caribbean countries to be like you know what our neighbor is free there are also a few Jamaicans that participated in the

Haitian revolution and then came back to Jamaica we can be free too let us free ourselves and just start lighting everything up on fire the book black ghost of Empire um is an excellent book that talks about essentially the long let me let me lean in y’all know I

Cannot see the long death of slavery and the failure of emancipation and so it goes through throughout the entire I would say um Western diaspora so North America the Caribbean it touches on South America a little bit because South America the colonizers were um Portuguese and Spanish and because the

Author does not speak any of those languages I think that’s why it doesn’t focus on those countries specifically because the original text which still do exist are in those languages so it’s heavy focused on America as well as emancipation throughout the Caribbean and particularly how emancipation has

Been sold as like see white people gave you black people things and you need to let it go that is not what occurred that is historically inaccurate that never happened um in the US North one of the interesting things that goes unsaid is there was gradual emancipation the north

Is often placed as this place of wow the South oh wless Reckless look at all those awful things we’re doing we we’re not participating in any of that up north that is not true in here in New York New York City is built on large SWA of African burial grounds because there

Were a lot of enslaved Africans as well as indigenous bual grounds I went to New Hampshire um with a few of my girlfriends a couple years ago and we were so surprised to see there was a plaque that showed that you could trace where um enslaved Africans in New

Hampshire they Escape Route where they are meeting Etc I thought y’all said that y’all wasn’t doing them things but you are and it’s nonsense and the genius of this book specifically is tying our diaspora Al together in basically chronicling how instead of the one-time emancipation that history has taught us

Has happened we actually particularly in the Caribbean full Freedom hasn’t actually found us because when we get into who actually owns the Beach in Jamaica spoiler is not Jamaicans which is quite frustrating so one of um one of the reasons why I think a lot of the Caribbean has been

Designated as the global subservient permanent Resort centers around the purposeful eraser of our history of transatlantic Shadow slavery but not just that we are indeed proud descendants of enslaved Africans but that we Dar to fight back in an effort to free ourselves one of the things I

Think that is much better documented um now is that Haiti has unfortunately for 200 years since they dared to free themselves from France has been paying reparations to France Haiti freed themselves Haiti was they were forced into slavery doing labor which propped the French Empire up and France was like

We let you be free and in letting that you’re going to pay us the money the same thing happened with the Caribbean all the way until 2015 British taxpayers and their taxpayer money went to the descendants of enslavers because in Roman um Roman legal structure the word

Emancipation is to pay somebody back for loss of their property we are the property in this context we were the property so we did not receive money um for any of these things instead they received money um for us all day in 2015 which is why kcom is still fighting to this day

That we deserve reparations from King Charles who received a diagnosis and one of the things specifically in the effort to fight back for our own Freedom one of the things I find really interesting whenever the State Department issues some sort of travel advisory against any Caribbean country

My question is always what did you want that we didn’t give you it’s always that it’s always tied to something else it’s never straightforward it’s never oh we care about the American Tourist going there it’s never about that because again most of the parishes almost all of the parishes listed are places tourists

Do not even go most American citizens are not going to St Thomas Parish unless you’re from St Thomas Parish there are as we speak right now no major resorts in St Thomas parish and that’s for a few reasons which we’ll get into all right so how the plantation

System turned into a resort plantation system so this is a wonderful book that somebody recommended um last year when we were talk when I was talking about this and I bought the book I I meant to put it in this room it’s in the other room um it is a beautiful book called

The an i for the tropics which talks about through Visual um pictures postcards Etc showing how the tropics specifically the English-speaking Caribbean was designed to make it a place for specifically white Americans and white Europeans to come and want to vacation and spend their dollars one of the things I always found really

Interesting and I commented this one time in people rightfully push back and I had to do some research so I’m always glad when y’all give y’all opinions as well which was when I went to the Bahamas I was very shocked to be honest I was like oh

Why does it look it doesn’t look like Jamaica like it’s flat like Jamaica is very mountainous we have blue mountain region we have the ocean it’s very Lush the Bahamas doesn’t look like that Bahamas is mostly much more flat most of the islands has many more Islands as

Well it sits in the Atlantic it doesn’t sit in the Caribbean the Topography of the place is different and so people are like oh it looks different because it’s a different place and one of the reasons why I had that thought in my head is we’re often sold this packaging of the

Caribbean that oh it’s this Lush Place everything looks the same and sometimes interchangeably they’ll use pictures of Hawaii as well and I’m like that’s in the Pacific Ocean How can any of these things look the same and the I for Tropics goes through the history of how

After the end of after the end of Catt slavery in the Caribbean the English as well as of American stepped in and was like okay well we still need to make money off these people so how are we going to do that and tourism was the way so the introduction includes a poem

Which says clad in fearful and wonderful garments which they fondly imagined to be ordinary tropical clothing they came ashore in the spirit of explorers and seemed quite disappointed to find we wore clothes and did not live in the jungle oh who would be a tourist and

With the tourist stand a guide book in his pocket a Kodak in his hand and this is from our friends the chus from the daily Gleaner which has been around for so long um in Kingston the 18th of January 1901 that’s when that poem is from and

Then this is a little excerpt from the book as well let me make this bigger because yall know I cannot see the origins of how the English-speaking Caribbean was and is wildly visually imagined can be traced in large part to the beginnings of Tourism Industries in

The British West Indies in the late 19th century starting in the 1880s British colonial administrators local white Elites and American and British hotelier in Jamaica and the Bahamas embarked on campaigns to refashion the island as picturesque tropical paradises the first concerted efforts of their kind in Britain’s Caribbean colonies tourism

Entrepreneurs face a formidable challenge beyond the region the west Indies were widely stigmatized as breeding grounds for potentially fatal tropical diseases yellow fever malaria and chalera chalera had claimed the lives of many white civilians and soldiers who ventured to the islands ensuring what historian Philip curtain described as death by migration as one

Industry supporter recognized in 1891 to many old-fashioned people at home Britain to book a passage for Jamaica is also synonymous with ordering a coffin despite the availability of preventative medicines for tropical diseases in the 1880s tourism promoters had to dispel the fear of the islands which haunted the imaginations of potential tourism

Clientel in Britain and North America they had to radically transform the Island’s much malign Landscapes into spaces of touristic desire for British and North America traveling publics you see this a lot if you ever go to a resort in the Caribbean and then you step foot and you actually go to where

People live in the Caribbean you’re looking at two different places so for example I thought I would get my whole life through with every having SE foot on a Resort in Jamaica that didn’t happen because I have family and we’re going to get into that there are different types of tourists at these

Resorts one section of tourists that do frequent resorts are Jamaicans abroad that live in foreign that have money and that have money and are like you know what I’m middle class in America I’m gonna go spend my money it is a right of passage specifically for older Jamaicans

To go back to Jamaica and say I can afford the resort I can afford the resort I’m going to the resort so I had a family member who I love very much that was like I want to go home to Jamaica we’re all going to Jamaica

And I want to do it on the resort I said my two cents I said my two gripes and I let it go our entire family packed up to the resort I have never been a day in my life to North Coast North Coast is where

Montego Bay is um I do have a few family members that live in North Coast that’s not where we’re from We’re from St Thomas Parish which is the eastern Southeastern part of the island about 45 minutes from Kingston very rural very nice relax yourself like what actually

Is Jamaica in my mind Color Me surprise when we went to monteo Bay I was like why does it look like this it looks different it look I didn’t like it cuz I was like this is not the Jamaica I’m used to I was like oh this is tourist

Jamaica this is the Jamaica imagined by white tourist for white Taurus this makes people comfortable like it’s Lush but you don’t think there’s bugs I mean of course there’s bugs it’s Lush but there are no frogs Jamaica um similarly Puerto Rico is similar to this where we

Have the singing frogs the little chirp chirps and they sound they sound like birds but they’re not birds and they’re um they’re brown so you don’t usually see them but they’re everywhere at night you don’t hear them in Montego Bay which I was like did y’all kill off the frogs

Them it’s very strange it’s very different and one of the things it brought to mind because after I had read the book is you can see for yourself the fashioning of a place to where it’s listen I want to strip this place of its naturalness if they could I think

England would have blown up parts of Blue Mountain Blue Mountain is a what do you call it a range a mountain range in Jamaica most famous for giving us Blue Mountain Coffee it’s a great coffee if you like Ethiopian coffee you’ll like Blue Mountain Coffee it’s very famous

Coffee it’s very good also famously The Maroons hid in the Blue Mountain Coffee um the blue mountain range as well to to hide from British colonizers once they gain their freedom they’re like I’m going I’m not going anywhere by y’all y’all do not have the exploratory tools

To come up here and find me Etc it is beautiful it is stunning part of St Thomas sits in the middle of where Blue Mountain Range starts and then the ocean it’s stunning the resorts it’s not going to give you any of that it gives you like sanitized

Vibes and because that is what um that pette in their ideal clientele is looking for now even though this started in the 1880s this deforestation which largely I would say varying countries have suffered more and more from deforestation Montego Bay is somewhat deforested the Bahamas is very

Deforested if you go to Nassau for example where the cruise ships are docking anywhere that is in proximity to where the cruise ship is docking is very deforested and then instead they have replanted palm trees certain um trees where most palm trees in Jamaica people are climbing up them

So they have then changed the landscape to then cut off the sides of the palm tree so you can’t climb up the palm tree because it looks un unsightly it looks unsightly for us to be climbing up the palm tree to get coconut jelly apparently when you think of Tourism

Particularly Caribbean tourism today most people think of sandals most people think of sandals and Butch Stewart who passed away um a few years ago he was the founder of sandals most famous ly obviously um he is a white Jamaican less than 1% of Jamaicans are white Jamaicans about 6% of Jamaicans are white

Jamaicans at the time when he um grew up in Jamaica and currently still white Jamaicans were afforded luxuries that the majority of Jamaicans were not because again we were under British rule so even though England was like you know what y’all been fighting with us for 50

Years we’re finally you won your freedom fine they still instituted white Jamaicans to rule over the rest of Jamaica and in the 1900s you also get Indian Jamaicans from India came um Britain lured them to Jamaica as indentured servant as indentured servants and then you also get Chinese Jamaicans smaller population as well

Which they were given preferential treatment by the British as well one of the most disgruntling and disturbing things in my opinion of sandals sandals a now is a multi-billion dollar company the steuart family is a multibillion dollar worth family so we have a white Overlord in a black country

And sandals has not only taken over Jamaica and Jamaican beaches it has taken over many other Islands you can find a sandals in most English-speaking Caribbean countries if not all I don’t know if they’re in Trinidad Trinidad might be the only one where I’m not sure if they’re in they might be

It’s wildly problematic also sandals for what it’s worth any of these Resorts Jamaica is very famous for our food jerk chicken um aen saltfish Etc the the food at the resort it’s not it’s not the same because again it’s tailored to a white American and a British palette so it’s

Not as spicy one thing to know the national dish of Jamaica is akie and saltfish akie is a poisonous fruit that should tell you something about the type of people who lit a island on fire that eat a poisonous food for breakfast akie is great I love ake I eat akie every day

Until I realize in my big age that it’s high in cholesterol so you probably shouldn’t eat it every day akie however is a poisonous fruit when it’s in a pink pod and it’s yellow the actual fruit of it and there’s a big black seed when it’s on the tree it naturally opens and

It lets out poisonous gas and then you can eat it because of the commercialization of resorts and whatnot we now have canned akie where they have people picking the akie and they will put the akie that is un opened in the sun to open up the aie every few years

Unfortunately entire families four or five people um die from eating poisonous aie because it did not open properly which is why I don’t eat can aie every once in a while if I’m getting desperate and I my um we haven’t brought any back I’ll eat it but it’s always a gamble

Always a gamble um so at the resort I highly doubt they’re giving you fresh that’s just my two cents on that one of the most disheartening wild things and I think people choose to ignore this or don’t know this a lot of these resorts are quite literally built

On plantations so this Resort which I won’t give them any free um promo but you can see in the top left corner this Resort is advertising any Palmer the White Witch of Rose Hall if you’re a Jamaican you know who the white rich of Rose Hall is the white rich of Rose Hall

Was an enslaver she was also one of the crul enslavers on the island to which she conducted very horrible things against the people she enslaved this is her Dutty house in Montego Bay that still stands and according to this Resort um website your J your vacation to Jamaica won’t be complete without

Visiting some of the country’s most historic sites one popular destination is Rose Hall Plantation Rose Hall is one of the country’s most famous houses and has an incredible history and breathtaking views of Montego Bay yes go visit Duppy go visit Duppy and see because you can’t leave Jamaica

Without seeing the White Witch of Ros Hall to know I’m not even going to lie to you when we went to the wedding a few of my family members went and I was like how I said what’s wrong with you why would you go over there and they’re like

I wanted to see it and I was like why would you want to see it to which there is something to be said of the fact that we have been continued to be forced into endangered servitude that when you ask because I have a few family members that

Do work at the resorts oh what do you think of you know people just going into Annie Palmer’s house like is for jokes and we are the ones telling the jokes you can go on a whole what do you call it like horror tour where they turn they

Flicker the lights they do the whole thing they’re like it’s foolishness but that’s what they want to pay money to have Plantation tourism forcing people who again freed themselves from the Plantation to then go back to the plantation to serve unseasoned food and then take you around on a

Haunted Plantation that belonged to Annie Palmer is wild Behavior it’s really wild Behavior I don’t I don’t think I’ll ever wrap my mind around it to be honest all right so this has come up um most recently and I wanted to give a shout out to news for me

Which is a Jama she is a Jamaican YouTuber and this video um highly recommend you watch her full video I’m going to include a small snippet the AL jazer documentary about access to Jamaica’s beaches has reopened a can of worms and it’s obvious that there are many people who would have

Preferred that those doors had remained closed after all middle class Jamaicans Live In Perpetual fear of any discourse that would disrupt their access to the elites and because they can jump into their cars and drive to otus or just Jet Away for weekends on the North Coast

They have no concerns for the masses of the people who do not have these means for many middle class Jamaicans they have no issue with a family of four having to figure out the public transportation and then forking out th000 to pay the entrance fee to a facility that bans outside food and

Drink so now the family needs to find more money to feed themselves and just to have a day of enjoyment and that’s why you have people like Economist Damen King being completely dismissive of the fact that most Jamaicans don’t have free access to our beaches and then you have

People like this individual who Tweety seemingly mocking Jamaicans demanding access to our own resources because we supposedly can’t take care of it in fact this talking point about Jamaicans not being able to take adequate care of the state resources has been a part of our social conditioning that began post

Emancipation they thought that black Jamaicans were ungovernable and should always be under this subjection should always be under subjugation of white men is what it said I guess I cut it off a little bit early by accident when I was doing that so highly recommend her Channel her Channel again is called news

To me sorry she does a lot of informative videos about not only Jamaican History but current Jamaica Jamaican Politics as well as um a strongly held criticism of the classes Jamaica it’s Jamaicans are a lot of things we’re a lot of things and classes in egregious is one of them which is

She’s completely right people do not want to admit the fact that depending on how much money you have depends on whether or not you have access to the beach if you live in the majority of parishes one of the few parishes which I’m I’m resisant to say this but it’s

Because I’m so sad about it and the minute it started happening I was like Lord there we go to one of the few parishes that had currently still has as long as it’s going to last equal Equitable access to the beach is St Thomas parish and that is because St

Thomas parish is called forgotten Parish because the government literally was like you rough people over there we’re not business with you whatever y’all want to do okay whatever and never funded the actual Parish so we had a road called C viw Road SE View Road ran

Kind of like you once you get from Norman Manley Airport a little bit out along the whole Coastline of the eastern coast of um Jamaica through St Thomas Parish SE Road was a very dangerous road because since the government didn’t give the proper money to actually fund the

Road there was no railing on the road you’re running um adjacent to the ocean now so you know what’s going to happen a couple times a year people have fall in into the Caribbean Sea usually when that happens people are jumping out though I have seen a van when I was down there

And people are just looking at it and they’re like oh he he got out enough time so that in my opinion is one of the few reasons that has insulated Munch of St Thomas Parish from the huge development of the resort system because the resorts come in to places that are

Already built so that way they can just take over everything last year to mixed opinion to the residents of St Thomas which my grandparents spend back and forth and I have family that um specifically just has never left Jamaica and lives there mixed opinion of the residents the

Government finally all of a sudden was like you know what St Thomas we’re so sorry forgot about you all these years we’re going to give you a new road you deserve a road and that road is going to connect you to all the other parishes to Portland maybe we’ll even get you to

North Coast wonderful a lot of older Jamaican people were like what do you mean yeah we need a new road but who’s coming with the road because if we are getting this road is the resort coming with the road we deserve a road for ourselves similar to gentrification of

Black American neighborhoods in um Brooklyn for example where all of a sudden the neighborhood is gentrified wow we’re getting extra trash pickup oh interesting we weren’t deserving a trash pickup by ourselves fascinating oh we’re getting all these extra amenities we’re getting restaurants oh you realize we need another laundry ma because these

Are hundred year old buildings fascinating didn’t didn’t we the Negroes deserve that by ourself so now we are about nine months into the St Thomas Highway project it is helping people they there is also a lot of trepidation around like well we all were just walking to the beach and

Nobody was bothering us are we too going to get shut off from the beach and that’s very sad you have an entire people who um lovingly I’ve seen a few people say online that Jamaicans are nautical Nigerians who are being shut out of the nautical part of our whole

Identity a lot of Jamaicans can swim or even like my family MERS that can’t swim they still go on the beach they could float we are um in a point where the majority of these Resorts I would say maybe 99% of the resorts are not even owned by black people and these are

Black countries um Grenada I believe um they do have a blackowned resort I’m not sure how they pay their staff and if they pay their staff well but I know for a fact that they do because I’ve seen people going and stating that we we don’t have that and what

Little we have it looks like it’s going to get taken as well hold on thank you sis TR okay now which brings me to this the consternation of you don’t deserve a cheap Caribbean vacation and neither do I and neither does nobody because no your luxury should not be predicated on the

Servitude of somebody else when sandal first built out their Behemoth of a company largely Bush Stewart went on Fox News because specific specifically his ideal um Hotel uh what do you call stay ho ideal oh customer Hotel customer was a middle class to maybe a working class

White American sandals used to be very cheap that sandals commercial I ran in the beginning sandals is now selling you luxury it’s expensive it wasn’t expensive in the beginning people were coming down to Jamaica and being like Oh yes come to Jamaica and feel all right for cheap if you’re not paying anything

That means the resort is not paying the people them anything and now the resorts have realized you know what they don’t give a damn about these people so we can charge people more and still not pay these people anything there is something very nefarious about the fact that a lot

Of these resorts in the commercials specifically you see darkskinned black people serving white people every single I watched a bunch of them I was like okay let me find maybe we’ll find no and occasionally they’ll throw somebody light-skinned in and be like see we’re serving black people too it’s very um it’s very

Strange also if you keep building all of this on the island we now sandals has buil what they call overwater Bungalows which were popularized in the sells um which the SEL sits in the Indian Ocean so on the east side of uh the east side of the continent of Africa

We now have those in Jamaica to mimic that same level of Ultra Luxury Embrace seriousness you it’s a two-hour flight from Miami just so people can then show the service so show everything else and be like see I deserve this and part of it to be honest I would say if we’re

Talking about analysis of how America treats Americans and the amount of Labor Americans do in comparison to other developed Nation counterparts Americans are worked to the Bone so I understand the feeling of I’ve been here my whole life I’m tired I’m tired right now I understand the feeling of like I just

Want to lay there I just want to be a vegetable I just want to lay in the sun I am deserving of the Sun not at the expense of the person who you now because you’re so deserving has literally become your servant why Jamaicans have other aspirations than to serve

People the people that gave the world Bob Marley Usain B Marcus Garvey you know the capitalism parts of him is problematic the pan-africanist parts of him you know he really did say we need to get together okay sister Pat sister Pat was a lot of things and she was very entertaining

That was our former prime minister I think we are deserving of more than to be the luxury servitude of everyone else and that’s also why Jamaicans are the number one one um black immigrant group in terms of the sheer numbers in this country it’ll probably change in a couple years I

Think um to Nigerians as well because there literally only three million people in Jamaica we’re not all about to leave but one of those reasons is there are not enough Industries in Jamaica for Jamaicans to sustain and we’re going to get to specifically how the US Britain

And the IMF all sat there and conspired against many Caribbean countries but particularly Jamaica to ensure that the only actual large industry Jamaica can have is the tourism industry which we’re goingon to get there now I thought it was a slide after this here we go so this is a great great

Great great great documentary I cannot recog recommended enough I saw on duty was in here I know it’s late in London but if you’re still in here thank you for recommending this to me woo a few years ago I think now excellent documentary from 2001 the documentary is

Called life and death the documentary goes into specifically how Jamaica used to have large agricultural businesses and we did have exports again it’s a very fertile Island um which Jamaica makes great bananas those bananas were eating those Chita bananas in the um grocery stores Across America there’s a reason why they they’re tasteless

They’re Cavendish Cavender bananas Cavender or Cavendish I think it’s Cavendish and the last the Man’s last name was Cavender they have taken the flavor out of the banana and have bred the banana in a certain way that the banana is resistant the banana out of janica was giving you sugar you know it

Was giving you a little boost in the afternoon Jamaica was one of the largest exporters of bananas until the US stepped in and was like oh no you tiny island people you can’t have anything and not only are we going to take your blood clot bananas also our Dairy

Farmers are struggling so you need to drink powdered milk and one of what is the most wildest Things to have learned this occurred in the 80s and it’s still occurring now Jamaica had a booming dairy industry where we were drinking milk from Jamaican cows Etc because why

Would you need to import milk we have cows our my family has a farm we literally have cows I don’t need your milk when the American dairy industry was failing before the 1990s got milk campaign trying to get the average American to guzzle down Cow pus I don’t

Like cow milk it grosses me out sorry sorry I really don’t the US before they did that to get the American public to save the dairy industry they then decided you know what Jamaica specifically needs to start importing powdered milk not even real milk powdered milk from American Dairy

Farmers which crashed the Jamaican dairy industry we have no dairy industry anymore it can’t rebound because this has been forced over now four decades any type of agricultural output that we’ve done for example um what people don’t know is a lot of the exports of Mexico particularly mangoes those mangoes taste like carrots

The ones that are in the US grocery store they don’t have no sugar in them I don’t know where they’re coming from they could never compete with a um Julie mango an East indiaan mango it a lot of those companies are not even owned by Mexican um people they are owned by us

Corporations and US corporations to undercut everything is like a Jamaican mango you know what people will pay so much money for that and that will get into our profits so we can’t have that so we’re going to ship y’all these nasty mangles that honestly are not ripe and really should sit on the

Tree a little longer there are multiple Industries in Jamaica that no longer exist specifically because the IMF which is the international monetary Fund in the 70s went and bankrupted Jamaica and insisted that Jamaica take out loans that Jamaica did not need to which when the Jamaican government at the time

Norman Manley and his cabinet tried to push back the IMF then was like oh no this is what we do we’re gonna assign you to be the third world and you’re going to do this and Britain also of course Britain being you know our colonizer of course they were none too

Happy to oblige I will give it to Britain they did at least try to save the Jamaican banana industry but they couldn’t in the end in the end the US and Chita banana beat us and so that’s why y’all have those nasty bananas or we because I’m here too have these nasty

Bananas in the supermarket so highly recommend watching this video and this is why now when you see the Jamaican government largely championing tourism is because it’s the only industry allowed to flourish in Jamaica Jamaica deserves better but that is what we live in a global economy that

Is what they decide Jamaica is good for for tourism and indentured servitude to continue servitude after hundreds of years all right so on to the money question ethical travel is ethical travel possible and ethical travel I’m like what did I write ethical travel is possible and it requires honesty

Research and cash so whenever I say the resort is awful you shouldn’t go to the resort people rightfully the next question will be like okay where should I go to which my honest answer is like oh in Jamaica I don’t know because I go home that’s not a helpful answer of course

It requires a lot of research to figure out hey where am I going to go to cause the least amount of harm to be honest certain places harm is going to occur so bring some cash so for example if your family is also like my family and you

Know a little boug has rubbed off on them and when they go home they’re like oh go home to the farm we deserve AC now the lack of AC is not going to kill you it’s going to be all right you end up at the resort just bring some cash to

Tip the p people because what was noted when I originally wrote this outline at the time which was last year cuz it’s been it’s been a ride it’s been a ride um at the time the minimum wage in Jamaica was not enough to afford a tasty

Patty you tell me I done labored I did a whole hours of work and I can’t even afford a juicy beef patty a tasty Patty an offbrand Patty they have since raised the minimum wage a little bit it’s not a living wage it’s not a living wage

Whatsoever so tipping the workers is a huge help also research figuring out for what it’s worth if there are so many people and this applies I would say this announced applies not just to Jamaica of course and not just the larger Caribbean if you go to Mexico similarly if you’re

Going to any place that the first world has labeled as the third world and you’re going there for tourism most of these Resorts specifically when it says allinclusive I just would recommend not going there one I very rare instances are they paying those people well very rare like you

Have to it’s one and few and far between B the food is going to be bad the food is going to be bad because they are going to cater the food to the lowest common denominator of who are the majority of people in here and because

We live in a cast system that is based on race it is mostly going to be white American people in there and you know what seasoning is occasional seasoning is not a requirement so it’s just not going to taste good anyway so you might as well find some else to live um

Somewhere else to visit if you go to a hotel a boutique hotel is usually better it’s smaller the smaller the hotel the less likelihood that they are not paying their employees well is it still occurring maybe which is why you should bring the cash when I went to I think I

Said this on the live stream um but when I went to Kenya two years ago for my birthday I was so excited and I was like I did my research I was like oh I don’t want to participate in safari exploitation and I do know hey Kenyans

Go to Safari for their honeymoon for a special occasion where do I go to find a safari that is actually doing the right thing and not teing up the local people’s land and also not subjecting people to indent servitude so I found this place the reason why I chose it was

I find that websites that show people from the home country as a viable place for people that want to enjoy their own country tend to be a bit more reputable so in their advertisement they had a lot of Kenyans particularly showing like hey similar to in the US in the US when

You’re celebrating a holiday people will often be like Oh I’m going to New Orleans on vacation because I’m I’m a lot of Americans um do vacation in the United States as well similarly in other countries people do vacation in their own country always got to be mindful of

The classes and egregiousness that may or may not be occurring so I was like okay well it does seem like this place does c cater to other kenyons it does seem like they pay people well and they had a specific section about how the people um they tried to take up the

Least amount of land and they worked out um an agreement with the peoples whose land they were on I said okay this seems all right this seems nice we get picked up the um I won’t say his name I said his name before um lovely person um that

Was assigned to us lovely I I just asked him I was like how do you feel how long have you worked here had worked there for many years he’s like oh yeah they treat us good um in terms of the tribe like we own this they own that this is

How it works I said okay good felt better about decision two days into it because I think we stayed we stayed three days there and then we went on to Mombasa we’re in the bush we’re in oselli National Park three days into it I realized because it has become known

To me because she told me um we got assigned um staff to help us with our food and just in general we had questions that all the tips we were leaving her she was not receiving them and I was like what do you mean and I was like what do you mean you’re

Not getting them she’s like yeah I don’t get them because I’m an apprentice and I’m new so I don’t get them which is why there’s always somebody standing behind me every time you tip me and I said don’t worry about that um I said after dinner every time I will just meet you

Over there and I’ll give you the money and I just gave her the money and I think you have to realize in the point of the moment I could have dug my heels in and been like no I paid my good money I did my research I did the right thing

I’ve been leaving the tip the tip is not going to the person that’s helping me if you have to go and spend an extra $200 you could make back to $200 if I’m being realistic and being honest if you’re the one that is fortunate enough to be going

On vacation the person that’s serving you $200 to them is a huge different ball game that’s a huge different thing it’s not hurting me really and someone asked me and they’re like well what if she was scamming you and I was like what if she was again I will go do more labor

And then get to $200 because we are living two different life and it is inherently um it is in apparently unfair the lack of access a lot of people particularly in rural communities with most of my family coming from rural Jamaica the lack of access to if you want to live in

A different place that you don’t have so cough up the money cough up the money it’s all right it’s not going to kill you it’s not going to break the bank mumbasa was great I really enjoyed it I unfortunately which I was so sad about this I really wanted to do a vlog

Um and the half Vlog is on patreon I had to stop which I have only ever like three times in my life got food poisoning I got food poisoning and when I tell you the food was so good I got chili crab I would eat it again I really

Didn’t care I was like oh my God I don’t feel good but I really don’t care but it was great I really I really enjoyed mbasa I would like to go back because I didn’t get to see the entirety of the city that I wanted to see for what it’s

Worth okay so which we talked about this in the beginning but but I wanted to show if you are curious about looking up some receipts for yourself and your family um particularly as a Caribbean person and it has been very well publicized and honestly we should shout

It from the rooftop every five seconds because it didn’t just happened in the Caribbean also happened in the United States as well varing enslavers in the United States particularly in the Charleston area were given reparations for enslaving people they got money they got paid in um England specifically are

A few people that sit in the House of Lords that they are descendants of plantation owners in Barbados where they still own the plantation and they refuse to give it back every few years the people of Barbados um that are in England go and pick it in front of his

House and they’re like sir give the land back stop the foolishness you can there’s this wonderful website which I’ve started to peruse around let me show let me make it a little bigger so you can see it from the center for the study of the legacies of British slavery

Where if you do enough research you can find them you can find the people who unfortunately received money when you should have received money and what you choose to do with that info is up to you but the minute I do find the people who had the caucasity and the audacity to

Bother with my family they will be receiving numerous letters and I don’t care if anything happens from it I would love to just be a pebble in their shoe because it is ridiculous somebody’s name who came up in here and this is how I found this actually so shout out to

Social media was um cumber bch who I forget his first name right now um he plays Doctor Strange uh was a Caribbean American woman in doing her research she found out that his family had owned her family and specifically they had received reparations money which what is

Cumberbatch is for Benedict thank you I was like what’s Cumberbatch for me Benedict Cumberbatch and specifically if you look at the life trajectory of Ben Benedict Cumberbatch because his family is well off and Wealthy look what he was able to do with his life he is a world-renowned actor he has access to

Things he doesn’t have to be forced to toil in servitude forced to work in a factory forced to work on a resort reparations the idea of personal reparations for families that have descended from slavery a we to fix the infrastructure of these companies a um these countries a lot of the places in

Black America um as well as the Caribbean as well as parts of Africa the Congo is an example of this when um the colonizers of the day left mashed up all the infrastructure in the Congo when the Belgian the Belgian left Congo they broke all the train lines how that’s wild after they

Enslaved congales people in their own country and caused the largest genocide ever in history of 20 million people in the in the in Jamaica as well they broke up all the roads which it is a running joke between Caribbean people there are a certain sect of older Caribbean people

Are very much have a very um Stockholm syndome relationship to the crown like when the crown was here the roads were better to which I always I’m like when the crown left they mash up the road that’s why the road is mashed up they should have just let it sit so

This is the website you can research it also if you do live in England um it is the law in England which we don’t have this here which is fascinating interesting where the actual um manuscripts so I don’t even know how to say this in a way that doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable

But because it’s uncomfortable the detailed level of organization that enslavers had in keeping records of their property AKA us is kept in all these very huge historical books they have them here in the us too but they don’t allow access to them in the same

Way under the guise of oh you’re G to mess it up in England they had to give you access to it I wish I could remember her name right now there is a historian who is on social media I saw a Tik Tok of her someone sent it to me where she

Um went into the Library this is a public library asked for the book found her family name found exactly where it was um they have they have that over there here in the United States certain um public libraries are not fully public certain libraries that’s not the correct

Way to say certain libraries are not public so for example there is one here in New York which is the Morgan library is a very famous Library the Morgan Library um used to be whose house was it the Morgan Museum hold on I list of places where I just want to I’m trying

To figure out a reason to for them to let me look at stuff Morgan Museum hold on I’m going to tell you the Morgan library and Museum it is over here um in between Park AV on like 37th I think in there in that specific Library it was somebody’s house they

Have a lot of historical records to go into the Morgan library and Museum you can go into it to ask for historical records They will because I’ve tried it already they will not let you you actually access the book The Document unless you tell them what the specific

Research project is you’re looking at now I would be very curious what would happen if somebody who was Black American was like yeah the research project is my family I I want to see if what they would say in writing I’d be very cury but they have a

Very detailed form where they want to know what school you’re coming from what academic background why do you need to access the text but they have a lot of them in the Morgan Library which is very interesting um from Anton thank you Antonio for the super chat if it’s in England can’t we

In the United States trace it back to pre-revolution families you know that’s super interesting I don’t I don’t know I’ve never I haven’t like looked into it I would love I’ve only been to England once on a work trip um I personally would like to see because For What It’s

Worth because Jamaica there’s only three million people in Jamaica so tiny if you want to know it’s not that hard to know the names of the families and because most of our last names are the same so which is very interesting all right the link to which

Link would y’all like for the center for study here the British link or the US link I don’t have the US I in the US I don’t know exactly because in it would vary state by state um most of the places in the US that I’ve looked up

They don’t they don’t encourage regular people looking at them hold on my family members is calling me decline hold on it’s my dad call him back um but yeah but it is possible to look up these things and I think it’s important to particularly one of my biggest like ick

And sadness and enraging um moments was when my boyfriend told me he’s from South Carolina um that not once but twice in elementary school they take the children of South Carolina which South Carolina is a very black State as well um um to not only the market where um

Enslaved people were sold but also to the plantation and specifically the under um it’s basically a dungeon where they held enslaved people and he was recounting to me the smell in the place and the fact that they took them there two times sounds like that’s nasty that’s nasty behavior for them to have

That as a field trip for children similarly I have friends that I went to law school with in Louisiana they’re like oh yeah they take us too on field trips that we need to go and we need to see it and it’s not in a historical like oh

We’re teaching you how awful it is it the vibe that I get when people tell me these things is more to be like see okay so to force children into field trips like this but then to deny access for you to be like hey well I want to

See what family it was we’re all in the same town we we haven’t moved in a hundred years I want to see is nefarious in my opinion so but that’s me America and that’s problematic but yeah a lot of people um yeah I’m from Central Virginia and we want a

Plantation field trip a lot of people I know from the south it’s in the school curriculum and that is just one of those this is wild see see I can I can’ta that’s going to raise my blood pressure y’all see it on the screen wow

All right I think that was the yeah that was the last thing that I wanted to share with y’all um but yeah I think I think there’s something to if we are going to discuss history in its full context into the power of knowing and to letting it be

Known because why should we be the only ones to Bear the burden I think it’s good that the woman I can’t remember her name um that found Benedict Cumberbatch was like Hey tweet Hey sir I’m not asking you for anything but I have I’m I’m entitled to ask you for

Something but I just want you to know so that way we can both know so that way we can both be uncomfortable I don’t think anything’s wrong with it all right let’s read through some of the comments and then I’ll let y’all go all right oh the British one okay let

Me find the link really quick for the center for the study let me put it on the screen let me put it back on the screen let me find the link I’m glad you’re here on Judy okay hold on Center for the study of the legacies of British slavery I’m actually

Is it in it might be in the yeah here we go I did put it in I usually try to put the links in the I did I remembered here you go so this is the link that I just posted is for the center for the study of legacies of British slavery because

Often times I would say particularly right now we’re having a huge blacklash against any anti-racism work any progress particularly in the United States um and we’re seeing across the world any backlash to people being like yeah black history is important it’s also it’s Black History

Month my and it’s always we need to let it go so long ago it’s not that long ago my great grandma Clara God Rest her soul she pass away1 almost 102 when I was in college um her grandmother was an enslaved woman I knew great grandma Clara again till I was in

College my grandpa knew her grandmother is his great grandma she was alive it’s not that long ago and similarly if you are a certain age or you have a certain um grandparent in the United States is the same thing the timeline is the same so this idea of like we need to just

Move past no we need to rectify the situation we need to rectify the situation all right exactly and we need to catch people up in their backsliding I gave the example to my friend the other day whenever people are like y’all need to let it go um the next person that says

It to me I’m going to ask them well what would happen if I just randomly for no reason at all just walked up to your mother and just slapped her across the face in front of you and was just like and just walked away she would be upset

She would be a little traumatized some random woman slapped her across the face you would be upset you would be traumatized that some random woman slapped her across the face you would tell your kids oh my God this random woman with these ears came and slapped Mama across the face they would tell

Their kids one day my mama was walking across the street this random woman slapped her across the face how many generations would go by before you stop being mad and you all stop telling each other that some random woman slapped you across the face now if you multiply that

Times infinity that’s why we haven’t let it go because it’s much more than a slap across the face for no reason and also the impacts of systemic racism and who benefits from systemic racism are currently going on but you already know that all right oh the site’s not working

For y’all hold on let me see the site for the link that I gave y’all hold on hold on let me make sure I want to make sure that the link works let me see let me see what happens when I look when I click on it it should Work oh Max see look at it it’s like girl we did not tell you to tell everybody about the website why is it not working okay let me see if I find a different Link Center for British on I was just on it okay is this the same oh yeah now it’s

Not said you will not be on this site user has more than one Max user connection what interest I don’t have it open in another tab H well I have I’ll just put it big if you click on I’ll just put it big on the screen so y’all can see it

You might have to I don’t know how they have their website set up but if you Google Center but spelled the English way for the study of legacies of British slavery the site will come up I don’t know if at a certain time they’re like listen y’all

Cannot all be on here I’m not sure what their Protocols are set at but listen listen it’s said too many there said too many of y’all coming up in here asking for stuff no absolutely not child I’m gonna get an email tomorrow they be like ma’am that was not the purpose of this

Listen Anyways whoops um whoops whoops whoops yeah so maybe H it’s also late in the night in England right now they’re about six hours ahead so I wonder if it’s like a timed thing where they don’t expect a lot of traffic um in the Wii hours of the morning
