I think that the Barbadian government is within their legal rights to take that land for the benefit of the people,especially when you know the history of this plantation. These people exploited African slavers to amass great fortunes so why not take it over and use it for the benefit of the people.

To claim that the sins of his ancestors should not be taken into account today exemplifies the acknowledgement myopic dissonance exercised in obfuscation of the generational wealth accrued as a direct result of the 0:13 atrocities inflicted upon the ancestry of, not only the Bajan peoples yet still the peoples of the Caribbean in general as the empire stretched out within the region, that has yet to restituted. Thus, claims of denial those aloof today should not be lauded with the burden of reparation are futile, for that is exemplary of asserting those who were systematically culled during the Second World War should be forgotten and history should ignore what was perpetrated…that has proved to be an impossibility…hasn’t it. Pay up and cease hiding behind the wealth, privileges and position; murder, people trafficking, rape and enslavement has afforded you. That’s my take on this! Rather a vanguardist stance on the matter to hand, isn’t it? Reminiscent of the ‘gang’ that has been elevated to the highest echelons, wholly protected by pawns and knights. Exactly therefore where is the confusion?

So, from the Drax family point of view, their ancestors stole the land, but now the present descendants demand payment to give it up. Oh! And the present descendants continue to profit from the illegally obtained properties. That's a kin to someone today stealing your car and demanding payment from you to return it to your possession. Increase the taxes on the properties. And in addition, make it so complicated and difficult to sell to a new owner as an investment.

We all need to read 'Britain's Black Debt' by Dr. Hillary Beckles. I would also like to remind everyone that Haiti's former President Aristide was kidnapped by American forces and disappeared in Africa. Why? He also spoke about reparations for Haiti from France. Haiti was forced to pay France when they revolted. It's the main reason Haiti is impoverished. The final payment was made in 1922. Aristide has not been heard from in decades. He was a former priest turned politician.

The Barbados government needs to take back the land for reparation to the people Barbados. The Bible says that the sins of the father will pass down to the 3rd and 4th generation.

Oh boy! You missing the point. Blacks are behind by 300 years financially because of being denied freedom and the freedom to generate generational wealth whilst the enslavers were paid out millions for their loss of earnings by way of slaves - lost their enslaved property - the offspring of the enslavers have been living off the blood sweat and tears - money - handed down by their enslaver ancestors. Lets face it you people don't want and from your accounts still don't want blacks to have more than YOU. Unless you are at the top and the centre of attention you can't cope. Wakeup! And free yourself from supremacy before it is too late.

So have I got this right, Drakes does not consider himself personally responsible for the criminal activities of his ancestors. But he is willing to vigorously defend the wealth and privilege that have come directly from this. More than this his ancestors took over land in Barbados without a by your leave to the legality of their actions. Today we are tip toeing through the legality of returning land to peoples still ravaged by Drakes ancestors.

Acquire the land, plant food crops or keep the canes, boost productivity and GDP instead of planting concrete and increasing the chances of flooding. Soon, there will no countryside for Barbadians and tourists to escape to. This isn't boosting Barbados' tourist product, just increasing the likelihood of tourists commenting on how Barbados is now a concrete jungle.

It should be handed over willingly to the government of Barbados as a compensation for the millions the Drax family have made because of the slave trade. It will be unfair to pay them 4 million it will be the final payout for slaves. The fact that Mr. Drax is still privilege to have the same surname of the slave masters is another indication of their power and "right". How many of us black people can unequivocally say we have the name of our ancestral parents. Our names have been changed possibly so many times that we do not have genuine connections to our birth ancestors. Mr Drax should be willing to turn over the property without the government paying him a cent.

Drax came to the land now called Barbados when according to history it was an empty land. From whom did he stole it?? Drax, through the prevailing enterprise at the time, and by the effort he put in, developed for himself and his posterity something that has the government of Barbados choking over it with greed. The government of Barbados, in the time that Drax first went there, never found him, or charged him with doing anything wrong. How can the present Barbados government do so now?? What gives them this right?? Have they at anytime pointed out to the Drax Brothers that what they were setting up in Barbados at that time was wrong?? Why are the Drax Brothers now being found guilty of a law that did not exist at the time that they came to Barbados and through hard work developed their plantation?? If the Drax Brothers had chatted and chatted as these Caribbean governments are doing, with one and a half of their eyes, on other people property, there would be no plantation, or wealth, for these governments, to be greedily striving to grab, with all of them, seeking to glorify themself, as being the one who was able, to ignite the mob sufficiently, so as to get the coup-de-grace, of their desire, delivered. It would seem that a lot of people want to be the government so that they can look or be called good merely because they have spent other people's money. The Drax Brothers earned their wealth: using the enterprise which was legally available to them at that time. How can these governments, who are claiming to operate under this changed law, strive so man fully, or woman fully to deprive someone of what is their legal right to have. The Drax Brothers were not found guilty, in any existing court, in their time, of having broken the law. A seemingly skilled tongue does not always speak honestly neither of honesty. Is it that, "the government of Barbados then", allowed the Drax Brothers, to build wealth, by by using, what "the government of Barbados now", calls nefarious means, as a means of establishing a Trust(with the Drax Brothers and their descendants, being the trustee), which "the government of Barbados now", can, or is entitled to collect upon??

@@judyrichards3651 Do you know who is Henry pollard? Barbados is one if not the only Caribbean island whose known existence started with a majority white population. Since no one who existed before the British came to Barbados can be found, to whom should reparations be paid? The plantation owners bought their slaves. They made an investment. Just as Drax was getting involved in sugar, he acquired 22 enslaved Africans in early 1642, at a time when nobody else had even a handful of slaves. In 1644, he purchased another 34 enslaved Africans. By the early 1650s, his plantation, Drax Hall Estate, was worked by some 200 enslaved Africans. Drax never went to Africa: Neither did he stole Barbadian lands from Africans or Barbadians. There is no living being with direct relations to the people who existed in Barbados before the British came who can lay any claim to what the Drax Brothers have developed and is still owned by their descendants. The Barbados government is a rogue. A brigand masquerading under law misappropriated.

If anything that's Africa's responsibility to pay the few molested, assaulted & unlived by their Soldiers who were deployed to Haiti & Jamaica help housed some of them. Soldiers were against the Haitians. The slave story is a hoax told in reversed.

I am a black African man born in Barbados but i do not believe one bit about the African slave trade and the way the story was told to me. It take two side the white man did not just when into Africa and pick up people like that the people of Africa had something to sell and the white man had the money to buy.

Today after all these years the African man is still selling they children to Europe. Maybe not for money this time around. But they send they children to the European countries to work they ass off for them and if that child do not do it they cannot return to Africa BECAUSE they are cast out and labeled as useless.

Sir I look at it this way you take my 50 pounds for your property. The property belongs to me now if you want your property back pay me back my 50 pounds simple as that. The white man have not owe me it is my parents that owe what have they done with the money they sold me for?

- Seems like you were educated by a fool concerning African history, and now you parrot their foolishness. Stop with this contemporary white revisionist nonsense about Africa. Being raised on a small Caribbean island is no excuse in the 21st century for being so easily hoodwinked into self hate. Sure, some slaves were sold by some chiefs, but who told you that this was the entire, or even the bulk of the history? Do better. The curse today is ignorance, and your words seem full of it.🤡

Africans were shipped to South America and the Caribbean. Indigenous Black Caribbeans were shipped to New Orleans, where they were joined in slavery of Indigenous Black American POWs,. indigenous Black Americans were shipped to Europe and Liberia.

@@TeaDorsey yes I also know all of that. But my question is how have they got out of Africa in the first place? Did the white man just walk into Africa and pick up people and walk out? No they were sold to the white man by the African government or by the African people themselves. Yes today it is still happening in Africa. Try to marry a African woman and see in today's world how much you have to pay her father or mother or brother to get her.

@@TeaDorsey the price tag is huge. So we much not denies that the African people sold their children to the European countries inorder to get money this thing is so simple give back the white man the money he give you for your children and let him hand you back them.

@@TeaDorsey And you may ask me how that would happen. Easy every black man that live out of Africa would simply have to leave the western world and return back to the continent of africa okay leave the white man with they western world and we all give back to where we came from. How hard is that to be done?
