  • An overview of the country of Dominica. A charity, Feed My Sheep located in Mahaut, allowed us to film and provided guides for us to view the island. Sights in the film include: Roseau, Soufriere, Scott's Head, Rosalie Bay, Trafalgar Falls, Freshwater Lake, Champagne Reef, Morne Bruce, Kalinago Barana Autê.
    The film also covers some history such as the early explorers, the Carib or Kalinago people's history, the black African's history, the Garifuna's, the French and English history.

    Ahhh my country, truly a beauty! I tell my American friends all the time that I had the best child hood ever. Swimming in the river everyday, picking fruits, fishing, cooking food on the beach, drinking coconuts, and breaking almonds that fell in the river, riding the waves in the sea. Even after hurricanes, I would run outside to see the villagers helping each other out. I have never seen people who come together and help each other out like Dominicans. Mwen aimie pais mwen!

      To the millions of people living in the vastly more ancient human lands of Asia, Europe, and Africa, who for tens of thousands of years knew nothing about the Americas, was the revelation of new massive continents and endless islands not in fact a "discovery"? What is the proper word for this situation? Is there a better word for revealing such astonishing news to the peoples of the rest of the world?

      @subsnovideoschallenge-kb7st 3 роки тому

      @@IMSiegfried well I mean there is an argument to be made he just resorted to name calling as opposed to anything constructive.
      The argument is a minority group of a people do not define and designate that race's place in history or it's ethos. One should never have to apologise for their race. It is historically true only a small minority of the European people actually made their way to the Americas and fewer still who were not conquistadors or mercenaries on expeditions actually took part in the abuse and killing. That isn't to say it wasn't a horrible thing but often Europeans are stereotyped as having been irredeemable as a people. It is unlikely any given white person's ancestors were among that group. Furthermore, to complicate the issue the majority of the descendants of those abusers and conquistadors, who have them as their ancestors *won't even be white*. They're mixed European-Native (otherwise known as Latino/Hispanic/Mestizo). That isn't even beginning to mention the fact that every race in history has had a minority group commit some sort of atrocity at some point or another.
      The whole apologising for your race is predicated on such nonsense. This is coming from a mixed race (albeit Tamil-European) person myself.

    • @themothers
      @themothers Рік тому
