How Britain Used India To Replace Slave Labour . Mauritius was completely uninhabited by humans before European arrival. There were no indigenous Africans, no tribes, no native population on the island. This is not opinion, it is established historical fact. The Dutch were the first to settle Mauritius in...

This is Mauritian Sega🩷🍵 It was created centuries ago by maroons and Africans that were taken and enslaved by Dutch to Mauritius (an African Island, that was largely uninhabited back then). It was created as a symbol of pain, resistance, happiness, and heritage It was performed by the enslaved in chains, which is why the feet rarely lift from the ground in the dance. While the island is now primarily of Indian descent due to the influx of South Indians brought to Mauritius as indentured servants, Mauritian sega is performed by all Mauritians. It's a symbol of freedom, created by the Black people taken from Mozambique 🇲🇿 and Madagascar 🇲🇬

Indian slaves were also listed as black by the British! Crimes of colonialism. A factual history, all Indians should be taught in school. Did you know the Indians were also part of the British slave trade and were sent all around the world? British deliberately hid the facts of Indian slavery by including them in the black slave trade category numbers too! After the transatlantic Black slave trade ended, Indians were used to slaved on the term “indentured” Learn more ..

History is full of forgotten voices. Here is something about the colonial history. Did you know that thousands of Indian women called as ayahs were taken by British families during the colonial era? Not as guests. Not as equals. But as servants, to raise their children on long sea voyages to England. They fed them. Sang to them. Became second mothers. But once the ships docked in London, many of these Indian women were abandoned by these colonial officials. No return ticket, no support, no rights.

African Americans are descendants of not just the transatlantic slave trade but also descendants of the intracontinental slave trade a.k.a "The Second Middle Passsage" because the U.S. banned the importation of enslaved Africans to the U.S. from Africa in 1808. This is what triggered the U.S. to get enslaved Africans from the Caribbean and birthed the "born into slavery" rule. Making African Americans a mixture of the youngest and the oldest Africans brought to the Americas. The oldest are considered to be Brazilian and Hispanic/Latino African diaspora. The youngest can be considered African groups of Jamaica and Haiti because the importation of enslaved Africans from Africa to those places didn't cease until the mid-19th century. Although it was illegal to do so for the U.S., some broke the rule and continued to take from Africa after 1808. An example of this is the Clotilda arriving illegally in the Americas in 1860, but because it was illegal, there was an influx of Africans taken from the Caribbean. Mainly the Bahamas Cuba and Jamaica. As a result, our ancestors are literally from both continental Africa and the Caribbean. This formed a group that still retains elements from both Africa and what was created by Africans in the Caribbean. A history rich with complex, integrated African and Carib indian retention

One of the biggest lies taught across all American schools and universities is that whites imposed slavery upon blacks. We need powerful politicians, Trump et. al. to make the following points in a press conference: 1 - Slavery was deeply embedded in African societies throughout history. The blacks that whites bought were already enslaved by blacks. 2 - The Portuguese, British, French, Spanish, and Dutch purchased ENSLAVED Africans from African coastal kingdoms, which had captured blacks from the interior through wars and raids. 2.1 - African elites and tribes, such as the Ashanti, Dahomey, and Yoruba, profited by selling black captives to Europeans. 3 - The Arab-Muslim slave trade was longer-lasting than the European transatlantic trade, and more brutal, with higher mortality rates (up to 80% on some routes) due to castration of males and harsh marches in the Sahara Desert. 3.1 - The Muslim trade spanned the 7th-20th centuries. In this case, the Muslims DID NOT buy enslaved blacks but captured blacks, enslaved them, and then transported them across the Sahara Desert and the Indian Ocean (East African route) to the Islamic world. 3.2 - Historians estimate that during the Muslim trade 17 million Africans were enslaved and transported over 1,300 years --- whereas 6-10 million were transported by Europeans across the Atlantic. 4 - Whites and Christians were responsible for abolishing BOTH the brutal Muslim and the African slave trades. 4.1 - In fact, European colonialists, along with missionary influences, played a key role in the formal abolition of slavery in Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 4.2 - White benevolent colonial powers (Britain, France, Portugal) began abolishing slavery in their African territories in the early 1800s. Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807 and slavery in its empire in 1833. 4.3 - Britain pressured African colonies and African elites to abolish their slave raids. The Africans wanted to continue enslaving other Africans because Africans had no conception of freedom but view each other as objects. 4.4 - The British, in stark contrast, acted according to exclusively White humanitarian ideals and concept of human freedom. France similarly abolished slavery in its West African territories by 1905. 5 - Muslims wanted to continue the slave trade. Islam has no concept of human freedom and lacks humanitarian mercy and compassion. 6 - Christian missionaries, particularly from Britain and France, advocated for abolition, viewing slavery as morally incompatible with Christian values. They established missions and schools to resettle freed slaves and spread anti-slavery ideology. 6.1 - If it were not for White compassion and freedom values, Muslims and Africans would have likely continued their slave trades forever. 7 - The "Barbary slave trade", conducted by North African corsairs (from Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Morocco) between 1530 and 1830 involved the capture and enslavement of FREE Europeans. Around 1.25 million Europeans were enslaved by Barbary pirates between 1530 and 1830. 7.1 - The Barbary pirates were Muslims acting under the auspices of Ottomans in control of Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli. 7.2 - This trade ended because White Christians compelled Muslims to end it through British and French bombardments of Algiers. The French had to conquer the barbaric Algiers in 1830 to effectively end large-scale Barbary piracy.

400 years living in India, and still maintain they're African? ❤️🇮🇳 Siddis are largely descended from Bantu populations of East and Central Africa, many of whom were maroons who escaped slavery and established communities in remote forest areas in India. Their arrival was a result of the Indian Ocean slave trade, with many brought by Arab, Portuguese, and British traders. Some also arrived as merchants, sailors, or mercenaries. Despite their African heritage, the Siddis have largely assimilated into the local culture of South Asia, adopting local languages, food, and religions. They generally identify as Indian or Pakistani. However, they maintained some distinct cultural practices, particularly their traditional music and dance forms, such as the Goma or Dhamaal, which have clear African origins traced back to the Bantu Ngoma drumming traditions. This is culture 🇮🇳

WHO WERE THE CIVILIZED AND WHO WERE THE SAVAGES? They said they came to civilise. But what they brought was nothing but savagery. From Haiti to Australia to the Pacific Islands, this video unpacks the brutal truth behind Europe’s so-called ‘civilising mission.’ The Taíno and Arawak peoples of Haiti, once thriving communities with deep spiritual and agricultural systems, were nearly wiped out within decades of Columbus’s arrival. They were enslaved, mutilated, and hunted like animals all in the name of gold and empire. In Australia, British colonisers declared the land ‘Terra Nullius’ - or nobody’s land - while thousands of Aboriginal people were massacred in cold blood. In Queensland, it’s thought over 24,000 Indigenous lives were taken by government-sanctioned forces. This was not law and order. This was ethnic cleansing, dressed in European uniforms. Across the Pacific, the lie of civilisation took the form of ‘Blackbirding’ - kidnapping tens of thousands from Melanesia and forcing them into backbreaking labour on plantations. Meanwhile, imported diseases erased entire communities. This is not ancient history. The scars are still fresh. The descendants of these communities are still here, still fighting, still remembering. Because colonisation was never about civilisation, it was about extraction, domination and the silencing of Indigenous voices. This video is not just history. It’s resistance. It’s about reclaiming the narrative from Columbus and Cook and all the myths they stood on. It’s about asking, in the face of genocide and greed: Who were the real savages?

THE REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF DREADLOCKS On this day, the British colonial state executed one of Kenya's greatest freedom fighters, but his revolutionary spirit lived on - even in his hair. Dedan Kimathi's dreadlocks were more than a hairstyle, they were a statement of defiance, a rejection of colonial domination and a symbol of African identity. Today, dreadlocks are a common sight - in our homes, schools and places of work and worship. It wasn't always this way, and it took persistence and patience to mainstream an authentic African hairstyle. Stigma around dreadlocks was informed by colonialism, and its effects were felt decades after independence. It took commitment to African identity to reclaim what was once demonised.

We still have colonial bastards in the UK! They are denying the fact that the West Bengal famine that was caused by Winston Churchill. You can’t rewrite history! One of those deniers is Winston Churchill’s bloody grandson! The British really do love to continuously lie about colonial history to hide their crimes against humanity. One correction: it was not 3 million, it was 4 to 6 million Indians that were starved to death by the British.

The scale of Indian immigration is rarely understood, many still think Italian migration to Australia is the largest or most defining. They are completely wrong. There are more people who were born in India living in Australia than there those with even trace Italian ancestry, and most of those Indians have arrived in the last decade! While Italians were the first break from British monoculture which has defined Australia since its inception, the peak wave of Italians was just 2.3% of the population. This was a wave to alleviate the existential threat that Australia’s small population at the time posed and so the importation of a culturally adjacent European group was proposed. Whereas now, even years old census data, Indian born is 3.6% of the population and has doubled in the last 10 years. This wave is of a far more distant population culturally and ethically, brought in for just economic reasons. So even after adjusting for population growth, the Indian born community today is roughly 1.5x more dense than the Italian at its absolute height and with little to no nation building excuse. When you account for Indian ancestry and the broader migration of the subcontinent you’re looking at closer to 6%+. We were never asked.

🔴Kwame Ture on Why Karl Marx Did Not Invent Socialism and the Myth That African Liberation Must Be Separated from It Kwame Ture explains here that Karl Marx did not invent socialism and that socialism emerges from material conditions, not Europe. Marx did not create socialism any more than Newton created gravity. He observed, analyzed, and systematized laws that exist independently of him. This directly challenges the claim that scientific socialism is a Western imposition on African liberation because it “came after” Marx. The issue is not chronology, but development. African peoples did not need Marx to recognize exploitation, struggle against domination, or arrive at socialist conclusions. As Ture explains, wherever capital seeks to dominate labor, struggle emerges as a material fact. African resistance to slavery, colonialism, and wage exploitation demonstrates this historically. The clip makes clear that socialism is not “a white thing,” not a European invention, and not alien to African struggle. What Marx contributed was a scientific method for understanding these realities, not the realities themselves. African liberation movements independently developed socialist conclusions as colonial domination matured into capitalism. This affirms African autonomy rather than denying it. Separating Pan-Africanism from scientific socialism on the basis that it predates Marx is not a defense of African history; it is a misunderstanding of how revolutionary struggle develops under material conditions.

British political strategist Thomas Corbett-Dillon caused an uproar recently by suggesting that indigenous Brits are the victims of "a genocide". "There is an indigenous population that have lived on that island for thousands of years." "It is being taken over by different people that are not indigenous to that land, and I think that's a sad thing to happen." "If there was an island of indigenous people in the Pacific, and all of a sudden a bunch of white people moved there and were having babies, and the number one name in that country became Tom... the UN would be there saying this is outrageous." "But do it to England and no one seems to care."

‼️ “History is not neutral. How we tell it, and how we choose not to tell it, shapes the way children understand the world and their place in it. Recently, the President called for the Smithsonian to cut back on exhibits that focus on “how bad slavery was.” This is deeply concerning because slavery was not just “bad,” it was one of the most brutal systems of oppression in U.S. history, an institution built on violence, dehumanization, and the denial of freedom. To erase or soften this truth is to dishonor the lives of millions who were enslaved and to risk repeating the same patterns of injustice today.

Flamenco is often described as a melding of Roma, Arab, Jewish and Iberian elements; the Black African imprint is rarely credited, although it is indelibly stamped on these Mediterranean nations that near the African continent and were major colonizers in the African slave trade. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, over 10 percent of the Spanish population was Black. Many of the enslaved were retained by their captors and over generations assimilated and contributed to the culture. The communication between the dancer and musician and the building of energy we see in flamenco is also evident in La Bomba and Rumba. The rhythmic movements to the drum are all ritual practices brought from Africa and are undeniably African. This is culture!

Carney: Our country was built on the bedrock of three peoples: Indigenous, French, and British. Long before the battle on these plains, long before the first French ship sailed up the St. Lawrence, Indigenous peoples were the original stewards of this land. They built nations, trading networks, and systems of governance that spanned the entire continent. The Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe, the Wendat, and the Innu shaped this land and were shaped by it. Then the French came. They built a new society adapted to the realities of North America, shaped by the river and forest, by trade with Indigenous nations, and by the determination to survive and flourish in this land. When the British came, that civilization did not disappear. It endured and now it thrives.

White people are still blamed for slavery, when it was practiced everywhere in the world, and was only ever abolished thanks to the idealism of White people. In some parts of the non-White world, slavery still exists. In 🇲🇷 Mauritania, an entirely Muslim country in African, over one fifth of the entire population are slaves. This slavery is mostly hereditary and along racial lines -- the mostly Black slaves are born to a life of servitude to the Arab-Berber upper caste. In general, all Blacks in Mauritania are referred to as ‘Abd', meaning slave. Historically, the Arab slave trade was particularly brutal. Anywhere between 10 and 18 million Africans were enslaved by Arab slave trade. 3/4 captured slaves died before they reached the market for sale. Most male slaves were castrated, a procedure that killed over half of the men and boys it was practiced on, due to overbleeding.

THE MYTH THAT AFRICANS ‘SOLD THEIR PEOPLE’ Europeans have attempted to distance themselves from - and avoid accountability for - their atrocities during the centuries-long slave trade by propelling narratives that it was Africans who sold them slaves. On this version, Africans share the blame for the horrors faced by Black people. During his opening remarks on African identity and the decolonisation of education in Africa and the Caribbean at the University of West Indies in Jamaica, at the PJ Patterson Institute for Africa Caribbean Advocacy, vice chancellor Hilary Beckles spoke about the importance of reclaiming our narratives. As Beckles puts it, when history is told from the gunman's perspective, you inevitably get a distorted picture. Beckles dispels the myth that Africans willingly sold their fellow Africans into slavery. While he notes that there were certainly corrupt individuals back then, just as there are now, they were a minority. In Nazi Germany, for example, there were Jewish people who collaborated with the regime, yet no one blames them for the Holocaust. So why is this the line of argument used when it comes to slavery? Most Africans who took part in the slave trade did so for survival and did not have much of a choice. When European narratives paint our ancestors as 'business partners,' it is misleading - a business partner is free to not partake in a business venture without consequences, whereas Africans were not. Moreover, Europeans exacerbated divisions amongst our people, spurring ethnic conflict and wars amongst Africans. It was often ‘prisoners of war’ who were bought by Europeans from Africans. The European narrative has been used to further divide Black people across the world, thus continuing the divide-and-conquer tactics that have ensured African disunity and exploitation for centuries.

THE MYTH THAT AFRICANS ‘SOLD THEIR PEOPLE’ Europeans have attempted to distance themselves from - and avoid accountability for - their atrocities during the centuries-long slave trade by propelling narratives that it was Africans who sold them slaves. On this version, Africans share the blame for the horrors faced by Black people. During his opening remarks on African identity and the decolonisation of education in Africa and the Caribbean at the University of West Indies in Jamaica, at the PJ Patterson Institute for Africa Caribbean Advocacy, vice chancellor Hilary Beckles spoke about the importance of reclaiming our narratives. As Beckles puts it, when history is told from the gunman's perspective, you inevitably get a distorted picture. Beckles dispels the myth that Africans willingly sold their fellow Africans into slavery. While he notes that there were certainly corrupt individuals back then, just as there are now, they were a minority. In Nazi Germany, for example, there were Jewish people who collaborated with the regime, yet no one blames them for the Holocaust. So why is this the line of argument used when it comes to slavery? Most Africans who took part in the slave trade did so for survival and did not have much of a choice.
