I respect and love your work as always but how can you talk about Afro-Trinidadians without talking about the largest Ethnic group? Indians ! , if they are the second largest who is the first? Yes, I understand the emphasis is on Afro-Trinidadians but the East Indian influence is so pervasive that many Afro-Trinidadians are also of East Indian descent. Only Trinidad and Guyana have almost a 50/50 split between Indians and Africans, this has also been reflected in political divisions and mainstream Trini culture also consumed by Afro-Trinis. All other English-speaking Caribbean countries have an African majority except for Guyana and Trinidad so that is worth noting about Trinidad as a distinct point.

@hometeamhistory806 Native American slavery “is a piece of the history of slavery that has been glossed over,” Fisher said. “Between 1492 and 1880, between 2 and 5.5 million Native Americans were enslaved. The 1675 to 1676 war pitted Native American leader King Philip, also known as Metacom, and his allies against the English colonial settlers. During the war, New England colonies routinely shipped Native Americans as slaves to Barbados, Bermuda, Jamaica, the Azores, Spain and Tangier in North Africa, Fisher said. Native Americans sold overseas occasionally made it back to the United States, Fisher wrote. Others died or disappeared into a wider slave market and labor force, or became established in the locations where they were sent, like the modern-day community of individuals in Bermuda who claim New England Indian descent.

I love Trini food and Calypso music! I had no idea Calypso music originated in Trinidad. People from this island are so nice too. Did anyone know there were a group of African Americans (called Merkins) who went to Trinidad after the war of 1812. Enslaved people were promised their freedom after volunteering in this war. Their descendants are still there and are recognized as African Americans or Merikans. Most people only know about Caribbean immigration to the States and else where but not the other way around. I’m African American and I love learning about the history of African peoples in the world. ❤️🇹🇹❤️🇹🇹

4 When Satan went into the serpent to sin, God cursed the serpent. God is not a homophobe but homosexuality is a rupture with God and if you die in homosexuality, you will perish in hell like the serpent. One cannot be holy and homosexual at the same time. You must resist homosexuality. It is your struggle. And if the serpent did not sleep with Adam but with Eve, you, a man, must not be worse than the serpent by seeking to sleep with Adam. 5 A homosexual can be a son of God according to Genesis 7, but homosexuality will always remain a despicable, abominable thing and hated by God. Homosexuality is an enemy of everything God has created. And when a country decriminalizes or legalizes homosexuality, homosexuality becomes the sin of all the inhabitants of that country. When a country decriminalizes or legalizes homosexuality, then its president and all its ministers, senators and members of parliament are homosexuals. For example: Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Filipe Nyusi, Cyril Ramaphosa and Ali Bongo are homosexuals. And Angela Merkel and Queen Elizabeth of England are lesbians. When a country decriminalizes or legalizes homosexuality, it is the rainbow flag of the homosexuals that floats over the heads of every inhabitant of that country. Philippekacou.org

I am Afro Trinidadian. My Mother’s Great Grandfather is one of the Steuart’s exiled from Scotland. He and his wife took their children to Trinidad where they became successful and even brought the tradition and teachings of the Masons. My Father’s Mother is descended from Black/Original Hebrew people, like the Steuart’s, but from France. She married a Carib/Amerindian/ Native tribal King. Carib’s are a fierce tribe that used cannibalism to intimidate their enemies and the region is named for them. The native tribes are also of darker complexion but their original African nation is unknown since they migrated much earlier. Free Black people have been a part of Trinidadian history even during slavery, which ended fairly quickly. Through the aid of the Creole tongue, we communicated with Haiti and Jamaica and brought about the abolition of slavery in the Caribbean. Haiti first then us, Jamaica and all the rest. The History is deep.

@@lizabetx483 That's my point. You cannot descend from a piece of land. Asia, for example, was once just the eastern shore of the Aegean region, where from a certain point of view, the sun went down, or what we call today Turkey. Caucasian derives from an old word for mountain. India is based on the name of a valley. Africa is the feminine of a Greco-Roman trade wind deity. These are not the names of bloodlines. You cannot descend from an anemoi, or a mountain, or a valley, or a coast. You can only descend from your father. Now, we have a record of the genealogies of the sons of Noah. Shem, and Ham and Japheth, were their names. From these came many tribes and descendants. Later on, newcomers entered, roaming about, and displaced these original tribes, in some cases assuming their identities, in others adopting labels they gave to what they found--hence we have names of continents, based upon nothing but descriptions of places. No such thing as African descent can exist. Call the people Hamites, Kushites, Semites, Israelites instead. From those bloodlines they descend.

Moreover, some of us were here before Columbus and were instrumental in helping navigate to the Americas. Our ancestors had tales of arriving first before any inhabitants. We also lived in the interior of the Amazon from a tribe called the buticudo as an admixture of nations. We are also decendants of the archipelago Islands like the Eastern Islands. Most recently we came from Grenada, The Grenadines, Barbados, St. Lucia, and Nigeria during the oil boom of WW2. Trinidad and Tobago's African population is very diverse.

@@victorcurtisvictor1372 Trinidad was actually inhabited by dark-skinned tribes like the Arawaks. Southern Amerindian tribes have been trading and mixing with Africans for centuries, hence why they were depicted as much darker than their ancestors who migrated from Tibet back when Alaska was connected to Eurasia.

As an afro Tobagonian. Im proud our african root are strong. Our african history from Africa to slavery to emancipation is told in stories and songs..many of our coustoms can be traced directly back to africa..Tobago unlike Trinidad didnt have a diverse mixture..we were for years AFRICAN. So our african ties are prominent n strong..

I think it's so interesting how most of not all the countries in Latin America and the Caribbean that have a strong population of Afro people have these carnivals each year. Brazil, Jamaica, Trinidad, Haiti, DR, PR, Bahamas etc, even the creoles in New-Orleans in the US... we don't really have those in Africa, or at least not in that same way. But you can still tell the African influences in music, dance, food and anything cultural

Thank you for this presentation. My mother is from Trinidad and my father was from Louisiana which to me has some cultural/colonial similarities to Trinidad and Tobago. I once saw my former Nigerian co-workers bring their lunch to work which was a type of stew. I described/spoke to them about Jambalaya, gumbo, and callalo. They were quick to take ownership and say that it is all West African derived and I smiled in affirmation. On another note, I could be wrong and native Trinidadians can correct me but it’s my understanding and of visiting Tobago that a larger percentage of the population of Tobago are of pure African descent.

You also have CLR James author of Black Jacobins, and George Padmore, Claudia Jones ... You also have Africans who were brought to Trinidad as indenture servants after slavery was abolished. Like pelau(which I discovered is also served in South Carolina) you have other foods of African origin like akra (Fish cake). You also have other African words like dada (Yoruba) which is locked or twisted hair.

It's pleasant surprise to see that you made an entire video about Trinidad I look forward to one on Tobago. You will get a lot of views if can release the video on our Independence Day the 31st of August. One correction: Fufu is not an Afro-Trinidadian dish. The people make it here are those migrated from Africa or locals who want reconnect with the mother land. *I stand corrected we have pound plantain which is similar to fufu. Thanks for the correction allyuh.

They have been making fufu in trinidad bro, especially amongst the old folks which is called pound plantains, and it’s made in a morta pestle. they don’t actually call it fufu, but it’s the same concept, and is more common amongst rural country folks. Bless up.
