Brief Political History of Jamaica 

I am a Jamaican and I say 'well done'!

Even though many of these Latin American and Caribbean countries are independent, many still suffer from vicious sanctions, blockades and coups from imperialist nations

Thank you for teaching people not to be simple and learn there history

As a black American, I say well done my Jamaican Brethren! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

I was taught none of this history at school. So I spent the past 5 years learning about my family in Jamaica and the history of Jamaica. It’s taken a long time because I can’t access the archives in Jamaica so I’ve tracked my own family tree. Through this I discovered that Andrew Holness’ wife, Juliet Holness is my grandmother’s sister. My grandmother and Juliet went to the same school in St. Catherine, Andrew also went to that same school where he met Juliet. Thanks for this video I have learned a lot. 🙏🏾

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Great lesson a lot of people avoid hearing this kind of history, but it needs to be heard and it needs to be known and needs to be taught to children in the schools around the world shout out to your channel man you’re doing great work💯

Brilliant and in-depth video. Thank you!

ur videos are amazing - never stop

Great video this explains a lot I've just recently visited Jamaica. And I was saying to myself the whole weekend how is Christianity their religion. Once again great video

Blessing to you Empress one love

Well done Sir.

Such a sad history. Prime example of how Evil Human Nature can be when power and advantage is involved. To this day entire nations of people are suffering, while I am in a developed country with no issues at all and never had nothing bad done to me. so sad.

Good video

Imagine the British were wicked to Jamaica and when they came. Bands were out, people cheering, thinking it’s a wonderful thing. Nooooooo they brought us from west Africa, India and treated us worse than animals. Know your history.

Our political system need to resemble the Swiss…the politicians of yesteryears really failed to make any improvement on the average persons Quality of life ..sad …hope this coming generations can really turn things around JA ..WE CAN WE MUST

Big up Jamaica for being so strong! My grandfather’s father family owned port royal back is 1700 or 1800 Ambrose Nicholas Yates (Cramer) & his wife smh…. Big up Westmoreland that’s where my grandfathers mother & father side which was British/ Irish settled & it hurts me as a black man I have the blood of Beckford in me smh realistically those are cousins

Jamaica and we love like and comment if you are from Jamaica

As with all countries, it appears evident that in order for a country to grow humanely the people need to have investments in spiritual-values, critical-thinking and problem-solving education alongside economic 'n technological growth .. .

Can u do a brief political history on Guyana

You should make a video talking about the brief political history of Equatorial Guinea

That's what's up

❤

So interesting only 70 likes. Now I understand the controversy over CRT.

Hugh Lawson Shearer…first black P M of Jamaica

Wow

F.Y.I I just want to correct you on some information and that is the first black Prime minister of jamaican wasn't PJ but indeed Hugh Lawson Shearer. Thank you.

Should Jamaica leave the British commonwealth and follow Columbia`s lead in adopting Swahili as one of it`s official languages?

P.s. the open warfare was due to guns from the Americans and the Soviet government because the both wanted a country of their own model

Thanks for the video. I found the information quite interesting. Only wish you hadn't BUTCHERED names. 🤦

YOH a tribes man of Dan. Mother to a servant. Because Rebecca was barren at the time. And she raised him ,and made a promise to the most HIGH. Let no comb or razor touch his head. His name was SAMSON!😮

This was a well put together video with a lot of accuracy but you butchered some of the names.

Very good except Hugh Shearer was jamaica's first black prime minister

He said BRIEF?

Jamaica met joyboy

Please get the pronunciations of names right. It is important for history and the credibility of your channel.

George busch 🤔

Image of "Bogle" is not him.

So help me understand. Jamaica was a deserted island until the Spanish found the island and brought the slaves?

If tink say you bad go dey nor

Cant focus on what you are saying with the catchy music in the background

So the original ppl of the island were just wiped out?

Good video, however , unless I missed something you forgot about indentured slaves that came from India, China, Germany. Also there is the Portuguese, the Jewish , Syrians. What happened to this part of the History. Aldo the Tainos w here inhabiting the island that’s why it’s called West Indies because he thought he was in India. You missed a huge part of the History that makes up Jamaica, the coat of arms with the Arawaks on it and disrespectfully missing out all the people who make up the motto of out of many one people. BTWY I Am Jamaica, as many Jamaicans are ethnically mixed of which mine is India Spanish Portuguese, Scottish African. Pleases do not say Jamaican history in 20 minutes when you only give a portion.

Or Ambrose Nicholas Yates (Cramer) wasn’t a true blood Yates he was a Irishman he married a Beckford sister as his sister did - Google it

How can you say the Spanish were the first Europeans I’m confused

West indies federation ...

!WORLD SHAME! !WORLD SHAME! !WORLD SHAME! !A DAT DI ISLAND GET!

all us black, indigenous, and brown folks have a common enemy

🧢

Talk the truth about Cia and seaga mash up jamaica

Trust in God, not man!

Spanish means JEWS here! ....... Siempre el mismo

Lol George Bush is not who brought Bananas to America 😂

tIANOS? WHERE IS THE PROOF?

This is a lie. Partly. Jamaica is located in north america continent and the natives as te north americans aka jamaican arawaks. The spanish arrivwd from spain and twaret the native Jamaicans then the british saw the genoside the spanish commited and atteked te spanish. The spanish did the worse. The slaves documents this from personal accounts from the native jamaicans. They are not arawaks they are native jamaican arawaks

This is somewhat disingenuous. Jamaica is more than a history of ‘slavery’. Michael Manley was catastrophic for the country and destroyed any hope after Independence.. crime, anti white, drug cartels and terrible violence. What follows was economic and social problems. Liberal teaching has linked this to ‘colonialism’ when in fact it is those who did not build on the foundations left by British colonialism (government, civil service, health, viable industries, education, army, police, financial infrastructure) - it was all dismantled. Now Jamaican politicians have sold the soul of the country to China. It won’t end well. Give me Jamaica in the 1960s over the country today - any time.

The queen should stay head of state or the UK should invade

Lies

Wow
