  1. Hello Alex 👋 your research is so thorough that I am curious to know if your presentations are ever used in teaching students in Jamaica? I hope they employ you at some point to help students regain an interest in the value of history and research.

  2. Hi Alex,
    I am in England of parents who were born in Clarendon. I had my ancestry DNA tested and it showed 7.9% Amerindian. So, you never who whether you may have some of their heritage. My parents were just fairly normal looking black people.

  3. When colonialists invades to settle they normally they normally chase and destroy peoples out of their developed villages,it’s a pattern they have been doing to this day ,it’s going on in Palestine right now, they killed millions of indigenous peoples stealing their land and resources creating poverty and dependency where they can strive on hand out and slavery, blacks need to unite organised and centralised building their own social and economic structures unity is strength,love is the key,one love 🥰.

  4. Look up three blood type it says abo abo blood type means that they are not Egyptians they belong to Africa which means that they are melotto a mix race from Russia that invaded Jamaica if they were the original people Europe would show up in there blood and Nigeria and congo wouldn't show up in there blood go on 23 and me there you will see congo Nigeria Ghana and the language they speak they speak in Africa right now game over lol the gig is up man

  5. Hello Elite, good to h your video, I always watch your videos, specifically when you explore slave plantations. Thank for bringing this topic regarding the Taino culture forward. We are still here, our ancestors integrated with the radical maroons during the British colonization lots of Taino and maroons were taken to Nova Scotia where they lived until this day. Taino were in Haiti Cuba, Guyana Suriname all the way from Yucatan up to State of Virginia the first civilization of the Americas are indigenous don’t forget the Kalinago people, the Sijioni people. These are a lot of subculture people. Keep up the excellent work, thanks for the acknowledgment. I’m also half Maroon .

  6. Anyone who actually believes that the natives were all unalived are stupid sorry but its the truth we are the original people and the British n Spanish could not have unalived all of them and there were dark-skinned natives here as well we are all both indigenous and Afro-Caribbean africans came here tracing with and settling here way before slavery

  7. If you the creator of this video is brown skinned , you are white washed. A sellout to Jamaicans. We don't like your propaganda of Jamaica. U have no Devine knowledge or common sense. Even those you may see, you are blind. Just like most black man. U are a coward. A sellout to our indegeneous culture of Jamaica. People like you need to go into the deepest black hole and Delaware from off the face of this earth. Please blog about white people cause your brain washed white people planted knowledge is giving away our birthright. Can't wait for a more educated generation with common sense than you. Thumbs down to all your liying propaganda fool door videos that is ruining Jamaica. Guh find yourself a European woman and just disappear into Europe you sell out.

  8. AFRICANS WERE THE FIRST JAMAICANS…….. ………ACTUALLY FIRST PEOPLE WORLDWIDE……………….STOP LYING TO THE PEOPLE ..
    ..TOO MANY EDUCATED FOOLS IN TOWN

  9. Ancient egypt & civilisation, by katang bongo, states that black NEGROID south american indians civilised africa,
    The Olmecs statues are negroid too,
    The xolo dog is found in south america,only, in egypt its called anubis the god of death,

    The food and culture came from south america, The dr Bird is the original god bird the emerald bird,
    Said to resurect souls,
    They lied to us and we still believe thete school lies,

  10. First Jamaicans were the Ostionoid people, who were akin to that of Melanesians, Jarawa of India & Etruscans of Europe.

    Second Jamaicans were the Meillican People, who were also an Australoid type of People & were akin to that of the Olmec in Mexico & the 1974 Version of Luzia Woman.

    Third Jamaicans, were the Taino people, who were a Mongoloid People oposed to Australoid & were akin to that of the Inuit, Apache, Chuckchi & Current Amazonians.

    Jamaica also has individuals of Miskito descent, due to the Maroon Wars & Privateering!

    Pequot & Wampanoag descent in Jamaica exist, due to King Philips War. Captives or prisoners were made to work on various sugar estates, which is documented in the book & documentary 500 Nations!

    Many Jamaican's have a Mayan bloodline, due to them being frequent holidaymakers & traders at the height of their power. Mayan artifacts have been found all over the Island & seabed!

  11. See you just defeated the whole purpose of your video. You just repeated the same colonial lie. Taino are us we are them, whitey never brought no one here from africa bro, that is a colonial lie. All negro are taino all taino are negro! They whitey) found us all here in the west as black as we always been fool

  12. African jamaicans didnt take lands from tainos They only repopulated African islands by force since the whites didnt even know the real iwners were Africans before they enslaved The new Africans in jamaica it was divine justice this land was allready owned by our black foreparents before the tainos got here 22O00 yrs later the black skulls are found in south brazil ,peru, and grand canyon Today USA
    Thats why it was shutdown after they found egyptian gods and pyramides in the grand canyon and had African origin by dna.

  13. Many have heard of the " Atlantic slave trade " as it is part of the mainstream narrative, even if it's TRUE nature is largely hidden, however what is not commonly known is the " Pacific slave trade" to fill the gaps / anomalies that are evident once you start digging!
