      I saw that picture on someone's cellphone a black person he was. He did not know who it was. I went to school in Jamaica and used a textbook, showing that picture along with the other so called heroes of Jamaica. Well Marcus Mosiah Garvey is tops in my book.

      Maybe so, but she said Paul Bogle fought for qoute "fair treatment of all Jamaicans" which definitely incorrect. Don't believe me then read Paul Bogles book. Yes he wrote and was calling to arms all black people in the spectrum of who know today as black people. Not sure if he also included mixed race, mulatto or whatever they tended to call children born to the slave owner or white overseers. Remember Bogle lived after the freeing of black slaves and there was a pronounced cast system. Remember a lot Indians and Pakistanes wirked in the coloniall administrational systemy of commerce. Here's a qoute from his book "Skin For Skin". "Every black man must turn out at once, for the oppression is too great; the white people are now cleaning up they guns for us”. Now correct me please if I'm wrong.

      She just move to go live with her former masters ____🤴🏼 🤴🏽 🤴🏾 🤴🏿 👸🏽 👸🏾
      THE REASON WHY EUROPE an NORTH AFRICA became white is because they all took Ukraine wives.
      Ukraine women are the ones who open the door to upward mobility in Europe. because i twas a closed society. The marriage is what allow white inside those castles.
      You need to understand why 🇺🇦 Ukraine is important to the white identity in Europe.
      These 2 [🇮🇪 🇷🇺Russia are hardcore "gatekeepers for the old world power " and the flank the European continent. Scandinavian + Poland are at the top still holding court.
      if they are not in NATO : they are still holding court. 🤙🏾 🤙🏿 its the same whites America banned from immigrating in the 17ths century. they still bend the knee to black rule in Europe.
      in the end its not a thief : ✦ ✧ they are one of the same. and America knows this
      The Jamaican accent like the Gullah from North Carolina is from Britannia.
      Paul Bogle learned African language when the Africans were brought into Jamaica.
      🤴🏽👸🏾 💬 "bend the knee" The high lords of Europe became the slaves. Their own serfs gave them back their slave name. new world, new rulers.
      karma 💅🏾
      dont wait on her to KNOW your history; look it up yourself.
      you and black Americans are in a diaspora. See Dr Marie Charles who is unearthing all of Europe's real history.
      **THIS IS WHY YOUR JAMAICAN ACCENT IS NO WHERE IN AFRICA.
      GB is obsessed with Jamaica and the Bahamas because all of the 🤴🏾 🤴🏿 👸🏽 👸🏾true high borns and royal bloodline where dropped off their 1st. 100% of Montserrat is native Irish.
      the white german: who are loyal to QUeen Charlotte family in German: they got dropped off in Jamaica with you
      the white irish, the white scottish and everyone from wales ; also go dropped off int he new world. the rest they dump in Sierra leone.
      Wales is kin to yoruban + Ibo: they are the dragons of the 🐲east [China] and the 🐲west Wales
      🇳🇬when you see Nigerians in UK or China they are going back to their old kingdoms
      When you see Caribbean people in the UK they are going back home.
      when you see the moors in Europe ; they went their to DEFEND 🦁👑] [🏰👑] 🦄 🐲] all of these noble families that rule that land.
      because they made a pack in ancient Egypt. all the black royals are in a pack. Hawaiian royals wrote to Africa when they got invaded.
      America knows they all know each other. because that is the old world power they are fighting.

      @@jadenromell1458 that’s why it needs to be put out in the public eyes, that the states and uk lied on him and trumped up fake charges to lock him up to silence him because of his vision and impact on black people at that time. That person is just talking nonsense because most people that aren’t Jamaicans and even Jamaicans believe these accusations against him. Just a few people on the internet that’s telling the truth about what really happened which is why they are trying to get him pardon by Biden. They don’t have these things in Jamaica history books. Just like how they took Paul bogle picture and says it someone else, same thing they did Marcus but it’s the CIA/FBI which was the FBI first black agent that sold Marcus and the black people progress out which he was up against not bloggers.

    I do hope you receive responses from others with similar backgrounds in the photos for a follow up. This could just be the pivot needed for future generations learning about the national heroes accurately.
