    Cool but a little misinformed the only objective was to kill of the so called natives. To set up the new world away from the yoke of the European kings. Further more we got to distinguish between what made the slaves that were left on Curacao and many of the islands had nothing to do with physical challenges. It had to do with being a Muslim or not in fear of their writing skills and religion under one God was to much of a risk to take on the main land of South America. So they rather kept these slaves on the islands for a full generation. Fun fact is that pork meat is most populair in these islands where the former slave population come from Muslim dominated countries in Africa😜

      @@nigelsim2540 I understand, and much respect to him. But I don't agree with him saying that steelpan does not belong to Trinidad and Tobago. It does sir, that's like saying reggae does not belong to Jamaica. What he should have said was Trinidad and Tobago created steelpan and gave the world the latest instrument. He knows this. Having said that as a black man, it's good to see us black people promoting the instrument. Because next thing you know white people will be telling us where it came from and that will be an atrocity my friend.

      @@pacos999 The fact that he literally said pan was first started in Trinidad and Tobago has me confused about what point you're trying to make. You're focused on what he said rather than the underlying message, which is clearly the expansion of pan culture and that it exists for the world to enjoy. It's not a guarded movement, same as reggae music, and I say this as a Jamaican. His choice of words not aligning with your preferred phrasing sounds like a semantic argument and unnecessarily divisive over someone who has contributed positively toward black/Caribbean culture for decades. So I'll have to respectfully disagree.

      NDyuka is derived from the name of the creek Joeka (pronounce Dyoo- Kah) near their initial settlement. They also refer to themselves as Okanisi, or Aukaners (Dutch name) which is derived from the name of the plantation the first group fled from, plantation Auka. Sometimes people like to state that Ndyuka was derived from "Dyu (=Jew) and "Ka"(= poop, or rather the bad word for poop..:-) ). But this simply isn't true. It's also erroneously believed that Aukaner or Okanisi is derived from the word Akan. The Akan are a West African ethnic group.

    Quick note: Africans were not chosen over the amerindians because of their strength! Natives were chosen over Africans as slaves in some cases. Like in the Inca territories, where Africans found it imposible to cope in such extreme altitudes. Africans were chosen for many reasons. For example, their familiarity with some of the crops the Europeans wished to trade. Moreover, they were less likely to rebel as the likelihood for survival in what was for them a foreign land was slim as they were faced with all sort of challenges they wernt equipt to face on their own. Again thank you for you video! Just throwing more info for whoever wants it.
