Barbados - its national motto being Pride and Industry; is the esteemed home of a vibrantly proud and aptly, mentally liberated people!

By Stanley Collymore  

Barbados' climate and too its slave 

based plantation system, allowed 

for an economic boom for sugar 

production, making it first England, 

and then after the formation of the 

United Kingdom actually Britain's 

wealthiest colony. Our homeland 

Barbados, that was evidently the 

birthplace of an iniquitous, and 

essentially irrefutably barbaric 

British slave society, ruthlessly 

colonized by Britain's actually 

powerful class elites that also 

made, their massive fortunes 

purely from sugar produced 

by enforcedly enslaved, and 

the very "disposable", Black  

Afro-Caribbean, workforce! 

Indisputably phenomenal Bajan

wealth which secured Britain's 

place, as the characteristically 

imperial superpower which clearly 

attendantly, most deleteriously and 

absolutely endemically also on the 

part of the British; caused them to 

instinctively, and quite purposely 

crucially most euphorically, as is 

still evidently the case even now 

in the 21st Century, distinctively 

inflicted back then, centuries of

horrendously untold, and most 

conveniently induced amnesia 

nowadays - suffering, globally.

Author's Remarks: 

In profound and staunch, affectionate dedication to everyone of my fellow Bajans: our genuine and discernibly quite remarkably and commendable women, men and children; the bright young generation, significant middle aged and the blessed elderly; equally our effervescent political leaders and instrumentally, influential educators; our essentially, crucially empathetic, quite distinctly dedicated health care professionals, and the dutiful agents of law and order across our country - in loving association with our blood relations across our global Diaspora - stay strong to what ancestrally we do proudly carry in our precious genes. 

Always remembering that people like ourselves with self-esteem don't brag, as they don't need to! Since everyone distinctively sees their greatness and does the bragging for them! 

As for me, I'm rather flattered, totally proud, immensely honoured and also profoundly grateful to be ethnically a Bajan!
