I was at the airport in Barbados in 2009 on my way back to the London. I was in my wheelchair moving around the departure area, looking in the shops etc passing time. When I came back out, I saw this girl walking towards me with short dark hair, dark sunglasses and a small bag. When she got closer I realised it was Rihanna. I thought ok be cool and just say “Hi”. I said “Hi” and she replied back with “Hi”. So that was five seconds of meeting Rihanna. I spoke to one of the airport staff afterwards. She confirmed it was her and they made remove her sunglasses before allowing her through.
@@theguardianarchives433FAMILY, THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO READ AND LEARN OUR HISTORY. IT COSTED A LOT OF MONEY TO CHARTER A SHIP, SPEND FOUR MONTHS CROSSING THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, TO GO 3000 MILES TO AFRICA SPEND A MONTH SNATCHING PEOPLE, CHAINING THEM IN THE HOLE OF THE SHIP, THEN FOUR MOUNTHS AT SEA FOR THE TRIP BACK, IN WHICH SOME CASES TWO THIRDS OF THE CARGO WOULD DIE DURING THE MIDDLE PASSAGE . SO THE AMERICAN PLANTATION OWNERS WOULD BY SLAVES FROM THE CARIBBEAN AND SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA, IT WAS CHEAPER TO BUY THEM FROM THE CARIBBEAN, AND MOST OF THEM CAME IN THROUGH THE SEAPORT AT CHARLSTON SOUTH CAROLINA. SO IT DON'T MATTER IF WE WERE BORN IN THE CARIBBEAN OR IN THE UNITED STATES, WE WAS ALL SNATCHED FROM THE SAME PLACE.

Thank you for shedding light on this. When I learned that Busta Rhymes was carribbean a while back I realized there were more than I thought. One thing I noticed though is that the video highlights people like Candace Owens who has a grandmother that was carribbean as if that makes her full.. or the trend is a Carribbean father or a Black American mother but that part loves to be left out. So although it’s great history, there’s usually a lot of ego at play.. but it shouldn’t be if half of these Celebs are inter-ethnic. Like when Nipsey hussle died.. the way Eritreans claimed him I woulda swore he was 100% Eritrean but his mother was Black American and I’m just peeping the trend is all. 😂👀 Great video nonetheless

I found it strange when the Barbados government renamed a school after Shirley Chisholm. I heard she was of Guyanese decent, didn't know she lived in Barbados too.
Possibly so. A lot of Guyanese and Trinidadian blacks have Barbadian ancestry. Barbados was always an overpopulated island and exported people, freed and enslaved, throughout the Caribbean,

No you're not. What's wrong with you? Y'all spend too much time patting yourselves on the back for nothing and allowing your country to be that name Trump (who I will never vote for) called it. Stop spending so much time coming for America and African-Americans, in general. You're a bunch of haters who will Never be on our level. Work on that backward, run down country of yours.
Jewmaycans dem nuff. Mih nah joke. 🇬🇾
This is such an inspiring video. I'm here in the USA and feel I should strive to live up to the success of my Caribbean ppl.
🇹🇹🇬🇾
😢Honestly, thank you very much for the the information. In fact, the two Celebrity I knew Who was Jamaican is Sherly Lee Ralph who stared in the Mighty Queen with Danzel Washington. Big respect to Sheryl Lee Ralph because she didn't hide her Jamaican Accents. Next, is the incredible, super talented, first trendsetter, super model, and the Greatest of all Grace Jones never hide her Jamaican Heritage. I was shocked to know that Aaliyah was Jamaican because I love her music 1 Trillion %.
One thing about West Indian people some of us may not have much material possessions, but we have ambitions we can accomplish anything we put our minds to
Black Republic Haitian 🇭🇹 i love all my Haitians Queens and all my Caribbean island
LL Cool J is actually Black American. Both his parents were Black American. His mom was adopted.
Well, His real parents probably still came from somewhere else. The Native American are the only original people of the land.
@@christineda123 the black american ethnic group didn't exist prior to americas formation so we are original from this land just like any other native group would form. jamaicans can't be natives or jamaica if black americans can't be natives to our land.
@@christineda123 His real parents were African American.
@DebbieGarvey-dq6cf no offense but instead of worrying about vexxing AA people you should all try rebuilding your own countries and getting your GDP up. America can not save all of you.
@@vangoghsotherear4114except there are native people from Jamaica there are indigenous people from that land just like many AA in America
This is supa dope! Very informative. Much love to the Caribbean massive!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Ll cool j is actually American. His great great grandfather was a boxer famous for fighting himself out of slavery.
Did you watch the ll cool j section?
@@hiphopurbanpoplol cool j was adopted but he is black American
@@hiphopurbanpopYou tethers are claiming people with absent parents that's desperate 😂
@@QLivindesperate is crazy. The video is performing well after weeks of hard work. Literally nothing y’all are saying will do anything else but live in the comment section.
@@QLivinIt’s nice to know it’s only people YOU that are mad. We came here because we saw the title and was excited and you saw it and decided to hate 😂you’re a sad individual 😢get some help😅
Thank you for shedding light on this. When I learned that Busta Rhymes was carribbean a while back I realized there were more than I thought. One thing I noticed though is that the video highlights people like Candace Owens who has a grandmother that was carribbean as if that makes her full.. or the trend is a Carribbean father or a Black American mother but that part loves to be left out. So although it’s great history, there’s usually a lot of ego at play.. but it shouldn’t be if half of these Celebs are inter-ethnic. Like when Nipsey hussle died.. the way Eritreans claimed him I woulda swore he was 100% Eritrean but his mother was Black American and I’m just peeping the trend is all. 😂👀 Great video nonetheless
I think it's because it's inferred that the other parent is American.
You only have 2gmas so a bajan grandmother is as important as my Jamaican grandma who raised me even tho im from Boston no?
My mothers half Jamaican and candaces is half bajan. Why are you trynnna police peoples ethnicities?
When I get famous they gonna say I’m born in Ny and half Jamaican and half Trini 🙌🔥🔥🔥
Selita was our neighbor in Miramar Fl. She lived with her brothers and mom before they moved to NY. We all use to hang out together. 🥰
Not shocked at Jada pinkett Baltimore has a heavy Caribbean population. But it was Kelsey Grammer and Gweneth paltrow for me 😂!! Dis just shows we're everywhere and everyone luvs our sauce💯
Not impossible at all you might be on to something 😉
Baltimore has a ‘heavy’ Caribbean population? Compared to what, Iowa?
Cmon bro. 😂😂
I don't think their ancestors were necessarily Afro-Caribbean doesn't make them any less Caribbean ! a lot of different races have and continue to pass through the region.
@@a-bd1216
No one in the Caribbean says "Afro-Caribbean" there's no need to say Afro-Caribbean, because the Africans are NOT minorities like the USA, they are the majority in the Caribbean.
Baltimore actually don't
I didn’t realize so many Caribbean have had such a great impact on American culture. Very talented people, not taking away from any one else’s talent. This was a great video to watch 💕being from st. Michaels Barbados myself 🇧🇧 and my honey is Jamaican 🇯🇲 Caribbean people are represented all over the world, always remember who you are and never forget your roots. Shout out to everyone ✌🏽
A”great” impact? How& in what exactly? That’s what you got from this video? What’s your definition of”great impact”?😂
Yes they emulate us very well
What talent do you have Mr couch potato? Hm....? America is a continent dummy 🤡 not a country , we're all Black indigenous people of the entire continent stop claiming only the northern territory just because the white men develop and modernize it @circleoflovecaregivers9353
VERY TALENTED
That's because majority of them in this video was half Black American
Basquiat’s mother was Puerto Rican- that’s Caribbean too.
8:28 wooow 😳.
That island beauty makes sense now?! 😂 so many beauty icons of island descent
I would like to see one on people with Asian roots that could be a surprising.
This is why I hate the FBA vs Caribbean feud. It’s ridiculous. Most of these folks assimilated to black American culture. Both sides have to understand that the dominant society don’t distinguish us based off our lineage. They just see us as black.
I'm sorry but who cares? I'm not basing my life off what white people think. It's okay to acknowledge your differences.
We been telling them immigrants this for years. From now on we only riding for Black Americans and exposing tethers.
Rihanna's Great Grandfather's (Maternal side) was born in Trinidad 🇹🇹.
What happened to harry balafante?
Stokeley Carmichael of Trinidadian parentage.
Kwame Ture.
He was born in Trinidad
Caribbean parents demand and beat ambition into their children. The result often is success🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Na you guys set up the indigenous black Americans by joining the boule and futher keeping us from reclaiming our home land.
Like the Shower Posse and Zoe Pound huh
How come they’re no t successful in their own countries?
@@linwoodavenue4300 don’t pay them no mind when they say stuff like this. It took the Chinese to come to their land and build up the roads and what not. They are not like us. Just look at their inventions and innovations they can’t compare to us. We don’t run from our problems we stay and face them .
🎯🇧🇸👏🏽
Remember, just like white americans, heve roots from Europe and elsewhere, so do black americans. they have roots from Africa, the carribean, and elsewhere . I'm sure we all have a great, great, great-grandmother from somewhere other than here . This is America!🇺🇸
If Tariq Nasheed saw this he might have nightmares for the rest of his life
😂
Some of this is lies
@@SparkleInYourEyes2024 Tariq is a liar, check out his video where he's in Brazil slating black American women, he's tricking you..sadly
Lmfao thats a fact I just don't understand how ppl still support him after that interview with vlad tv tariq is a fraud
Like Tariq said "don't come up here trying to undermine Black American s and claim credit for creating things y'all Didn't!😊
Beautiful work
LL Cool J is not of caribean descent. His mother was adopted.
Tiana Taylor mother is full Trinidadian.
No she isn't. Her stepfather is Trinidadian.
@@SparkleInYourEyes2024 Well, her step father could be Trinidadian but her mother, Nikki Taylor is Trinidadian and biological father is African American.
@@curtd5153Wow

Nia long is definitely a Caribbean queen with her ancestors are from the Caribbean is she billy ocean sing the song for Caribbean Queen
Africa should be credited for 90% of these people
Tru talk
Africa should also be credited for auctioning their own people into slavery. Don't take credit now.
Like slavery?
Yea Africa where slaves came from and migrated all over the world like the west indies north America and south America
@@GeraldSmith-f5r naw..like being sold as slaves from Benin, Togo Modern day Nigeria & Ghana
Nia Long is like me. I am Trini with ancestors from Grenada, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Barbados, Haiti and Louisiana.
Aaliyah is Jamaican 🇯🇲🔥 That’s all i need to know🇯🇲🔥❤
Didn't know that
Damn I'm watching Aaliyah in Rome Must Die today.
My Mom worked with Ralph's in-law for over 40 years.
She wasn’t Jamaican
@@genpaul2363yeah she wasn’t Jamaican. These people need to build their country
Fat Joe,Big Pun, Kangol kid from UTFO. Tim Duncan from the San Antonio Spurs and actress Naturi Naughton father are boat from St Croix Virgin Islands
Good info keep em coming
If they are from New York City they are more than likely Carribean. I dont care what Wikipedia labels them as American.They parents either originated to NYC from Down South or The Carribeans
So true! Practically every black famous person from New York is Carribbean. I can't think of a one that's not. Maybe Chris Rock. Are there any others?
@@christopherdieudonneAshanti
@@TheMG20089 Really?? Good to know :)
A few. The first enslaved Africans that were brought to New Amsterdam, now NY, were brought from the Caribbean and Caribbean people been migrating to NYC since the late 1800s. I have family that has been in NYC since the 20s.
Or both 💛
Mike Tyson is is foundational black American on both sides

This is a good list but you did not mention Stephon Curry (NBA player- mother is half Haitian), Klay Thompson (NBA Player- Father is from Bahamas), Mario Elie (Haitian- ex NBA player) , Kevin Durant (NBA Player- Guyanese mother), Darren Collision ( Guyanese descent, ex NBA player) , Karin Jean Pierre - Biden Press secretary (Haitian), Eric Holder _ former US attorney General (Barbados) , Jason Pierre Paul (Haitian - NY Giants player ) , Jonathan Vilma (NY Jets and New Orleans Saints Haitian player)
Maybe in pt1. or pt.3
Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant have no Caribbean heritage; they're 100% Native Black American.
@@hinche1977 damn. I didn't even know that.
Steph Curry is not Haitian.
@@hinche1977 Also Kemba Walker. His parents are Antiguan 🇦🇬
The first artiste to ever go platinum with his song Day Light Come And Mi Want Go Home and is an actor who mother is Jamaican and he spent his early childhood in Jamaica goes by the name Harry Belafonte
And why wasnt Cardi B on this list?! She is Trinidadian & Dominican.
You really want to claim someone like that
@@ImaniBelle-tu5nu Is not about claiming anything she is what she is!
@@timdivineyou are right why Cardi B wasn’t included.?
& Zoe Saldana? Straight up Dominican
@@ImaniBelle-tu5nu😂
Great research 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, it took took soo much time and research!!
Wow, there are a lot of people that entertained us over the years that I did not know were from different countries. Great to know ❤
this was interesting there was some unexpected people wow !!
I found it strange when the Barbados government renamed a school after Shirley Chisholm. I heard she was of Guyanese decent, didn't know she lived in Barbados too.
She went to school in Barbados. One of her parents is Bajan.
Possibly so. A lot of Guyanese and Trinidadian blacks have Barbadian ancestry. Barbados was always an overpopulated island and exported people, freed and enslaved, throughout the Caribbean,
Correction,Grandmaster Flash was born in Barbados to Bajan parents who migrated to New York
Yall reaching on more than half these celebrities.
Exercise is good for one’s health.
Exactly!
Get over it....more ppl have carribean blood then you'll ever know probably you too😂😂😂
