Indians to the #Caribbean 1838 to 1917:
British colonies
🇬🇾British Guiana: ~239,000
🇹🇹#Trinidad: ~144,000
🇯🇲#Jamaica: ~36,000
🇱🇨#SaintLucia: ~4,400
🇬🇩#Grenada: ~3,200
🇻🇨#SaintVincent : ~2,500
🇰🇳#SaintKitts, 🇦🇬#Antigua, #Nevis, 🇧🇿#Belize and other small territories: a few hundred each
Non-British colonies
🇬🇵#Guadeloupe (French): ~42,000
🇸🇷#Suriname (Dutch): ~34,000
🇲🇶#Martinique (French): ~25,500
🇫🇷#FrenchGuiana: ~8,500
🇩🇰Danish St Croix: a few hundred
In total, 430,000 to 550,000 people went to the Caribbean, depending on whether you count only British ships or all colonial schemes. Guyana and Trinidad alone took about 70% of the British total. Mauritius, with nearly half a million, took more than any single Caribbean colony.
Roughly a quarter to a third eventually returned to India, with return rates higher in Jamaica and Trinidad than in #Guyana.

Picture this: you’re shopping in Asda/Tesco/Waitrose and the cashier goes “we’ll take £30 off your shopping for you” are you gonna say “no thank you it’s fine”.
It might not be anything to you but to someone with less, that’s a blessing.

West African diasporic familial hierarchy alive and well fr fr
It’s fascinating how powerful these cultural technologies still are
Damon Wayans says that even at 65 years old, if Keenen tells him to get him a soda, he's going to go get it, because in their family, it’s all about an unspoken code of respect, seniority, and brotherly hierarchy.
“Yeah, but like even now, this is how my family is. Like, I'm 65 years old and Keenen goes, "Go get me a soda," and I got to go get it.”
“If Marlon walks in a room, and you know, if I walk in a room and there's no seats, Marlon gets up. Sean and Keenen will sit, and Marlon will get up and say, "You sit here." And my son will have to do the same thing.”
“That's why I love the fact that they have children. Because I go to my theater sometimes and little Damon's there and Mikey's there, and as soon as I walk in the room, the youngest one gets up and lets me sit down without question, and I love that.”
“It's just how we do with each other. It's just a quiet code. Some things you don't have to teach, it's just what you see.”

I don't think he has anything against him. He's just not gonna put a dude who came out after him, and never got as big as him, above dudes he looked up to like Pryor and Redd Foxx. You gotta look at it through his eyes, and not the eyes of a fan. Bernie is not his peer.

Artist go and create physical copies of all your work old and new keep some for yourself and sell the rest.
Actors do the same if it’s for personal use create specials keep them in your archives.

Rooted in patriarchy and so, I reject it. Why should I place myself in harm’s way just because I am a man? I am loved by my family and friends. I matter. My life and wellbeing are valuable to me and my community.

I understand this whole convo but what is interesting is that it’s all based on a lie! I was at the show yesterday, I walked around the whole arena to feel the vibe and people were having a TIME! Don’t let people gaslight you into proving your so called ‘congoleseness’
