does that explain why they had to stop bringing in more slaves from the Caribbeans before the revolt..? :lupe:

with that fact alone.. common sense would tell you most of the earliest slaves were from BOTH Africa & the Caribbeans.. it says in your article, Duke University was funded by a plantation in the Carribeans.. you think it was all African slaves down there on that plantation being "seasoned".. :dahell:

if you stopped being so dismissive, and divisive.. im sure one day it'll all make sense..

Yes - it does. For a couple of reasons -- manly because those from Caribbean were usually directly from Africa -- and were not 1-3 generations deep like those enslaved in America.

Therefore - they rebelled -- and had nothing to stop them from being causing an uproar and fighting. Those already here who were already 1-2 generations enslaved here - had family, children and friends they didn't want to see killed or sold away from starting a revolt. That was the main reason most were very cautious about when and if they decided to runaway.

And i'm not dismissive nor divisive. Thanks :smile:

you're trying to find some gotcha moment for ADOS. The biggest takeaway here is Caribbean people did their own work and got reparations for themselves and not a single ADOS thinks we deserve any piece of their pie. And like I said, I hope they go after Duke, since they have a specific claim with Duke.

And at the end of the day, ADOS is about if your ancestors were slaves in the USA, the black people that can prove that their ancestors were chattel slaves here at any point are ADOS, this doesn't mean all people from the West Indies are now ADOS. Please stop with the loopholing.

where did i insinuate anything you're saying..

i just stated that Caribbeans were also some of earliest US slaves.. never said nothing more than that, because folks kept saying they werent Caribbeans- just mainly Africans..

:mjlol: @ 200 million. That's nothing whatsoever. Real reparations are never happening for any group of black people.

Yep, and you won’t see us hating on any of the diaspora or Africa going after reparations or receiving reparations. You also won’t see us try to lay claim to anyone else’s piece of the pie.

Ados has always been for those of us native to the US to obtain what’s rightfully ours from the US government, and to restore some pride in being a native to these states.

Congrats to those in the Caribbean who pushed to make this happen, and congrats to those on the receiving end of this.
