Sometimes, I sit down and wonder how our ancestors felt on the journey to the new land while they were packed into a ship like cargo. Can you imagine being stuffed into a ship with other humans for weeks? I don't know how the did it.




For those with Indian heritage, don't try to derail this thread.

Been there. Done that. The picture is painted differently by the perpetrators and even by a number of their descendants. One should be aware of that just by looking at the experiences of the African diaspora in the Americas. Don't be so quick to buy it all.

ironic de dude is sayen him nuh want indians inna dis but him name cooli. but regardless, dey stories is very similar but way lesssss hardcore.

Because, the ones with white and chinese Indentures ancestry don't keep reminding everyone they mixed .
