So, I am reading a letter supposedly written in 1834 by Governor of Jamaica, Sligo and addressed to the Negro Population of Jamaica. Just amazing to me that the then Governor would write to slaves when he never made any attempt to teach them to read. But I suppose the slave master, if he was feeling kind enough would read it to them. The quality of the Image is not very good, so I will attempt to write a transcript of what I am reading and I will attach the document so you can read it for yourselves just in case I made any mistake.

They are Superior and Benevolent and we are Inferior and grateful for that Benevolence. Statues and Monuments The Jews would never have a statue of Hitler in the middle of Israel, yes, he is a part of their history, but he is not to be celebrated. The reason why people build statues and monuments, is to celebrate a person’s positive contribution to society and humanity. We do not build and/or maintain statues and monuments to peo...

First let’s clear up a few facts: The vast majority of Jamaicans understand that the United Kingdom of Great Britain have a sovereign right to decide who should or should not stay in or visit the UK. With that we have no problem and see eye to eye The vast majority of Jamaicans understand that it is the United Kingdom of Great Britain sovereign right to deport anyone they do not want in their country. With that we have no problem and see eye to eye The vast majority of Jamaicans understand that it is within the United Kingdom of Great Britain sovereign right to arrest and imprisons any Jamaican nationals who break British Laws.

With that we have no problem and see eye to eye The vast majority of Jamaicans also understand that it ...

The Caribbean Community regional organization represented by more than a dozen nations has established a Reparations Commission and hired a British human rights lawyer to press the issue of compensation from Britain, France and the Netherlands for what is described as "the lingering impact of the Atlantic slave trade,"………. Caribbean nations prepare demand for slavery reparations The Big Bang of Slavery: What did invasion, conquering, subjugating, genocidal murder, slavery and colonization mean for European and their descendants? For Europeans and their descendants , Slavery was to wealth, what the Big Bang was to the Universe. I look at slavery as a Big Bang of wealth creation. An instant explosion of Wealth that ripples through space and time, creating compounded wealth that transcends generations.
