Slavery in Jamaica, Many slaves arrived in Jamaica via the Atlantic slave trade during the early seventeenth century, the same period when the first enslaved Africans arrived in North America. The island sugar plantations were highly dependent on slave labour, based on Africans who initially were captured, kidnapped, and sold into slavery from peoples of West and Central Africa. By the eighteenth century, sugarcane became the most important export of the island. By the early nineteenth century, people of African descent greatly outnumbered ethnic Europeans Due to the harshness of the conditions, there were many racial tensions. Jamaica had one of the highest number of slave uprisings of any Caribbean island.

white people have profited off the backs of many races other than their own since the beginning of time. They take everything they have ever owned!!!!!!

Very few people are unaware that the United States received only 8 to 12 percent of all the slaves sold in the New World.

So how is this different to what is happening now with corporations..We're still paying for cheap products from China, India, Africa etc...Unless you don't buy these products you're fueling the problem..

And the black woman is quick to call the police for the black man I'm 100% sure the black woman betrayed the black man in the days of slavery many many times

Racism is a misunderstanding. The concept is erroneous.

no one talk about Africans who were buying and selling slaves to the Europeans. early Portuguese traders bought slaves from the Nigerian coast, to sell to the Akan people, along the gold coast ( modern- day Ghana). in 1999 president Benin apologized for his nation's role in slavery. in 2006 Ghana apologized to the American descendants of slaves , Cameroonian chieftain apologized to an African American who'd traced his linage to a couple of local clans. other west African tribal leaders also done the same. slavery still goes on in Africa to in different African countries, like the pygmies still been use as slaves. many other African countries still practice slavery.

The entire white race will have to pay us back for slavery as long as their's a God...Revelation 13:10
[10]He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.Isaiah 14:21
[21]Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. -

this is a powerful lesson of how gain through ill gotten means eventually imprisons and destroys the cheater.

That fucker Cameron had the nerve to propose or force upon jamaica a massive prison project instead of repatriations. His ancestors who were slave owners along with others were repatriated after slavery, while our ancestors received nothing but indentured servitude a lesser type of slavery. They inherited a legacy and we poverty. Justice however long eventually is served in some form or shape equally worse to the oppressor

The God of white people ,which ,France,UK,Spain,and USA,gave them power to manipulate the Africans and made them suffer like animals and treated them unfairly ,so what king of God is that.In my opinion, I do not conjecture that He is the God of Black ,which Africans,if He could let them suffer and dominated by them.I believe that the real God is not like .He has no exception. It was the devil who was inside those people.

I find it rather beguiling that a family of such proper standing, should build an enterprise financed by the toil of the negro.
