Are you drunk?
Granted, I'm American, but it's no secret that the Awaraks & Caribs were there first. There are a lot of people already atoning for the past 500 years, I just wonder what you are hoping to accomplish with this post. Please share. |

The following history FYI......... Early History The first indigenous people are thought to be Amerindians who arrived from Venezuela around approximately 350-400 B.C. The Arawak people were the second wave of migrants, arriving from South America around 800. In the thirteenth century, the Caribs arrived from South America in the third wave, displacing both the Arawak and the Salodoid-Barrancoid culture. For the next few centuries, the Caribs — like the Arawak and the Salodoid-Barrancoid — lived in isolation on the island. The Portuguese then briefly claimed Barbados from the mid-1500s to the 1600s; and may have seized the indigenous Caribs on Barbados and used them as slave labour. Other Caribs are believed to have fled the island to neighbouring islands. Apart from possibly displacing the Caribs, the Portuguese left little impact and by the 1610s, they left for South America, leaving the island almost uninhabited. British colonial rule British sailors who landed on Barbados in 1625 arrived at the site of present-day Holetown. From the arrival of the first British settlers in 1627–1628 until independence in 1966, Barbados was under uninterrupted British control. Nevertheless, Barbados always enjoyed a large measure of local autonomy. Its House of Assembly began meeting in 1639. Among the initial important British figures was Sir William Courten. The books you are mentioning were probably written erroniously due to limited historical knowledge but no doubt are being rewritten once new information becomes available. There is much empirical evidence that indicates that Amerindians were in the Caribbean and Americas LONG before British or other European settlement; that is not in dispute. So to dispute the theory that you have put forward the history books are probably being rewritten now, and I do not see where your statement of genocide comes from??:confused: Atonement and acknowledgement of past actions is an ongoing process, lets move forward shall we? |

There's confusion if the Spanish were first, or the Portuguese. For example see these three sources: http://www.british-civil-wars.co.uk/...y/barbados.htm http://www.barbados.org/history1.htm http://thecommonwealth.org/YearbookI...45147/history/ If the Portuguese were first then Barbados' name would have *had* to be "Os Barbados"... If the Spanish were first it would have been "Los Barbados". However-, I still hear people say the Portuguese were first and the islands' name was Los Barbados... That would mean the Portuguese didn't know how to speak their own language! Most seem to believe that: *The Spanish (in the late 1400s) may have rounded up whatever Amerindians/Caribs/Arawaks etc. that were in Barbados and either deported them or caused them to flee for islands to the west in the Windward Islands. It is well known that the Spanish were mainly interested in gold exploration and not so much about acquiring a lot of new land. *The Portuguese likely came next, in the 1500s and they reportedly found the island uninhabited. They appeared to be more interested in securing their vast land claim in South America (Brazil), rather than diverting some of their resources to Barbados. The Portuguese claimed Barbados, but they only left behind some wild pigs as a food source, in case they ever returned to the isle. *English sailors then stopped at Barbados in 1625 while traveling to or from Brazil and claimed it in the name of the Empire. The first English settlement was than later established in 1627 at present day Holetown. And since that settlement Barbados was the only isle in the West Indies never to have changed hands until Independence. The British put down significant resources in Barbados to maintain it in the Empire. England even signed the Treaty of Oistins to keep Barbados' parliamentarians from proceeding toward their declaration of independence in the 1600s... The Treaty of Oistins allowed Barbados to have more local control then other islands in the West Indies. Barbados was later outfitted with part of the West India Regiment to protect the island from any invasion and thusly formed one (if not the--) oldest standing garrisons in the western hemisphere. The structure of Barbados was then copied and used by the British for Grenada, Saint Lucia, Tobago, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, and Guyana. Anyway, you appear to me to have some chip on your shoulder about something. Why not try to take that pent up animosity-- and try and do some community service or something? You still have a few more days until Barbados independence day on November 30th. To my mind we have a lot of work to do around this island, do you need some suggestions on something to do that is more productive? |

I ask you brother, educate your mind and free yourself from mental slavery. The only one who can hold you down now is yourself. I suggest you get hold of the book "Up from slavery" by Booker T Washington. A man who was born into slavery but rose to acomplish great things in his life and never once let the fact that slavery was just abolished when he was a child stop him from achieving great things. The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery, it's today that counts. Think positive and remain focussed on learning and improving yourself, so when you read such an article again it does not rattle you so. Stay blessed. |
