Trinidad was better economically under the British rule, but mostly beneficial to the British.Locals got the scraps, unless you had connections or a good business sense (Indos, Chinese and Syrians)
The economic system globally was stacked in favour of the British.They created their own markets and ruled with force.Costs were minimized due to exploitation of labour forces.
That sheit would never fly today.

People doh remember that colonial oppression at all.
Most people woulda start working after primary school, a few made it to secondary school and only the elite$ got tertiary ed.
Top brass everywhere would have been non-native, and locals woulda play subservient/clerical/labour roles.
The rose-tinted lens, aye.

It is what the red government pushes for. All this is Suttle slavery.Redress10 wrote:Service tourism shouldn't even be in the discussion when it comes to diversification. Unless is high end tourism such as sports tourism like formula 1 etc then it's just modern day slavery.
Anywhere in the world that low class/low income whites could go and be waited on is modern day slavery. That's the sort of "tourism" these countries like to promote. It have no money in that.
If you want to emulate tourism then you need to start looking at places such as Croatia ,Mykonos, st Barts etc
Yes, next questionSuperiorMan wrote:Tuner Friends,

Yeah try buying a house in Goodwood Park nah as a blackman nah.88sins wrote:allyuh want a joke.
Black woman in her 30's in the UK, a citizen, goes to buy a house. Realtor says "I'm sorry, but that was the last house in that neighborhood for sale, and it was just sold, let me show you something in anotherarea. ". Black woman says "no thank you" and leaves.
White Russian man walks into the realtors office not 5 minutes later, and buys the house that was "just sold"
20 minutes later, same black woman comes back to the office. Realtor looks mildly surprised at first.
Then the realtors jaw hit the floor when she sees the black woman hug her husband, who just so happens to be the same white Russian that just bought and paid for the house that was already sold.
The black woman is my SiL, and this happened January 2020.
You want to return to British colonialism? Be my guest. But you go change your mind on that real quick.
