Because of the timeliness of this New York Times article and the fact Afrika is supporting the reparations initiative led by Barbados. It is also the right time for Afrika to inform the Muttley Gang of slave master wannabes that they should also clean up their act of keeping the Afrikan population under colonial subjugation, oppression, suppression, disempowerment, thefts and generational exploitation of Afrikan people across the region, and particularly in racist countries like Guyana. All for the profiteering aspects that are enjoyed by themselves and the island’s criminal minorities and pretend bourgeoisie. These politicians, most of whom are lawyers, cannot be advocating for reparations but keeping the same slave system of Afrikan reduction intact. Both it and all of them have to go, as it’s counterproductive to any Afrikan recovery. Caribbean corrupt politicians cannot have it both ways and I say that in light of certain other reveals, as am well qualified.

The Times article is out and just as ugly as we would imagine…made doubly so by the fact that it outlines the wretched social criminal order of Afrikan reduction is still alive and well today, still in practice in Babados…
And weee know, perpetrated, orchestrated and enabled by black misleadership….and their minority sidekicks.
An excerpt:

“Drax was among the first Barbados colonizers to switch from other crops and grow cane with the stolen labor of Africans and their descendants exclusively, Parker tells me. Within a few years of Drax’s start in the early 1640s, he and other planters had produced so much sugar that a period on the island known as the Sugar Revolution had begun. “Barbados gets there first at a time when the price of sugar was still really, really high,” Parker explains. Other islands would follow.
The enormous profits inspired the world’s first slave codes, legislated in Barbados in 1661. The laws delineated rights and restrictions on the lives of Black and white people, and helped establish beliefs about who deserved what that are still in circulation today, Kevin Farmer, deputy director of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, tells me. The profits were so substantial that Barbados planters ranked among the investors in the British East India Company. In the 18th century, one of James Drax’s descendants helped to write the literal book—Instructions for the Management of Negros, sometimes referred to as The Instructions—on how business, in the Barbados plantocracy’s view, should be done.”
