There is NO such thing as "black" bcuz its NOT a land mass nor a Nationality. Im a MOORISH AMERICAN and Indigenous 2 this land. 2. U should view the video "Blacks were the 1st Americans"....it would do u good be4 u make ur comments. 3. My point was to educate MY people......now what is ur point 4 being amongst my kin?

  • @ Herbalenquiry~ Excuse me friend, but RECENT 'archaeological' evidence shows that "different climate" is only half of the truth because Homo-Sapiens (WE) breed with Neanderthals and other HALF 'THINGS' and the European came about, thats y they have PLENTY Neanderthal genes in them. HUMBLE urself and up-grade ur research. PEACE

  • WE 'darkskin' people are the "Indians", and are the 'original' people of Americas. They looked just like us be4 they were mixed

  • @HansumTrini that's funny, considering how the 'indians' came from asia over the land bridge through alaska, while African Americans, and Jamaicans came from Africa... Look, i get that you are black and proud, but that doesn't stop you from also being wrong here. I don't even need to mention asia/africa really, just look at native american descendants still living at reservations. they don't look like african americans. at all. what's your point supposed to be anyway?

  • @HansumTrini we PEOPLE! all originate from africa its just when we settled on other corners of the earth mutagenic changes occured,through diet and different levels of ultraviolet sun wrays. educate yourself!

  • @bigbosshardcore1 Real talk man!!!!!

  • that right; he is a damn blasted liar; he came and saw the moors there

  • The song and his diaries says it all. His men objected to his behaviour, child prostitution, murder.

  • Sunday, 14 October 1492: ...These people have little knowledge of fighting, as Your Majesties will see from the seven I have had captured to take away with us so as to teach them our language and return them, unless Your Majesties' orders are that they all be taken to Spain or held captive on the island itself, for with fifty men one could keep the whole population in subjection and make them do whatever one wanted.- Journal of Christopher Columbus

  • Saturday, 13 October 1492: ...They brought us balls of the cotton thread and parrots and other little things which it would be tedious to list, and exchanged everything for whatever we offered them. I kept my eyes open and tried to find out if there was any gold, and I saw that some of them had a little piece hanging from a hole in their nose. I gathered from their signs that if one goes south, or around the south side of the island, there is a king with great jars full of it, enormous ammounts

  • Happy Columbus day!

  • major lazer army incoming

  • je ne partage pas la meme idée que winston on ne peut pas laisser de tel accusation christophe colomb etait un grand il faut raisonner pas par les sentiment de persecution mais par la raison unique

    roots fred peace

  • regardless of who invented slavery the point is, this a holiday that should not be celebrated, he was a shameful man who did not make a mistake he did it intentionally, there is a difference: people or a nation that supports Christopher Columbus , supports genocides, slavery and so forth, because it still has a huge impact on indigenous ppls lives today* Abolish Columbus Day * Christopher Columbus he is a Damn Blasted liar

  • @MzVilliany Yuh!!!! absolutely correct. 

  • Christopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, i love this song it is so true *INDIGENOUS PRIDE PPL*

  • and where are we today, you still steal his music, .99 peeps download, put your money where your mouth is unless you are promoting. Bless your soul, King Burning Spear, born and raised Winston Rodney, he did perform for the visit of His Imperial Majesty upon his tour to Jamaica!

  • columbus?!!!!!colonization...a­ jerk who was lucky .. they made​him a hero ...

    it is not possible to study that even in history ...

  • David Livingstone is another liar.Claiming to have discovered the so called VictoriaFalls.

  • Just one of many disception brought about by the Europeans...the truth is being revealed to the masses in these last days...

  • How can u discover a place, when there's people living there already. JAH GUIDE US

  • @wishropp truth! good times are ahead as bob marley say there is a king coming from the east.

  • @MrKayGe Yes I, SELAH

  • Great song. I just love The Spear.

    

  • history is done. there is no turning back. "not worth crying over spilled milk", as we say in portugal. the west commited terrible crimes, and the reality is that nowadays africa is what it is because of the west's intervention. but before the europeans came, there was no eden in africa. there was primitive civilization and tribal war. so what's better? to create, all toguether, with joined cutures and knowledges, a better world!

  • @Costasful screw you and your teachings.

  • @Costasful That is some ignorant shit man. Even at this advanced date there are still people walking the earth who believe that our urbanized culture is somehow "better" than your so called primitive ones. This so called better world is still full of tribal war, the tribes are called countries, or states, or religious groups, or races, but the end point is the same. People who are alike group together and fight those who aren't.

  • @Costasful: " so what's better? to create, all toguether, with joined cutures and knowledges, a better world!"

    Amen to that! =)

  • Burning Spear alone, manages to sound like he recorded his songs the very moment he got off that damn blasted Slaveship 400 years ago.

    True deep Roots.....Yes Iya !!

  • Can anybody NAME me the name(s) of African kings/army/kingdom that sold their own Africans to Europeans for slavery?. Anybody... BS.

  • @Axmedkoole...no disrespect is intended, but know your history before refuting facts with supposition. Africans were willing participants, but it was not "The Slave Trade" as we now know it. They initially sold prisoners of war to Europeans, then when they saw it was profitable, they supplied thru kidnapping. This is why apologies were issued to slave descendants for injustices done to our ancestors. Many were culpable, and we can not wear blinders just because one is black or white. Ashe!

  • Jah live for ever

  • no one to hate no one to blame just love for all.. in this life hear it!

  • @Spancho91 knowledge

  • Comment removed

  • @bigbosshardcore1 I do agree with you absolutely. I am 100% from the West Coast of Africa where a lot of them bullshit took place. The African was an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in the SLAVE TRADE and yet we always blame the white man for that. Take Naija for example, after 50yrs of existence, what is it known for? Corruption, 419 scam etc; and yet we have the audacity to talk about the african lost in diaspora with impunity. We must render an unqualified Apology to them on the highest platform

  • @awispi The notion that black people sold off black people to white people is just a rhetoric perpetrated by the grandchildren of slave owners. If you know basic history (not the one written by Babylon) the enslaved were the most productive people in the villages, healthy and tall. Why would an African defeat their most capable and sold them off to whites. BS.

  • Comment removed

  • @bigbosshardcore1 ...you have been watching too much movies my friend....Africans catching Africans makes a good story and reduces the "Whiteman's" guilt, the truth is that the hapless Africans were no match for the well organised sleek European corporate bodies running slavery, most are still here to this day..Barclays bank, Royal Dutch company..Church of England..Royal bank of Scotland..you need to bury your bigotry. I dont know where you live, but a visit to West Africa would enlighten you.

  • @bigbosshardcore1 Sooo true I.

  • @bigbosshardcore1 But you can't ignore it either. It's the invention of the system. Like Crack and Cocaine, Black People don't have the resources to bring it in the country but they sell it when it gets here. AND STOP LYING ABOUT YOUR RACE TO VALIDATE YOUR COMMENT. I saw another comment you made and you didn't prefix it with a line about you race.

  • Comment removed

  • @bigbosshardcore1 Where did you get this history you are talking about? Specifically, which african nation or tribe sold their own people?

  • @bigbosshardcore1 and dont forget the Arabs!! they have been trading in slaves in north and east africa for atleast 300 years before the whites were.... but besides the point... instead of spreading blame and hate spread knowledge wisdom and understanding!!Yes I!!

  • goodbye babylon! hello zion

  • respek my ancestors discovery Jamaica {Xaymaca} aka jamieka way before Christopher Columbus

  • respct my ancestors discovery jamaica {Xaymaca} aka jamieka way before Christopher Columbus

  • and here we are mon. still slaves mon. but not for too long mon. i tell you that mon. peace

  • One of the greatest songs ever.

  • big up burning spear

  • man, i can tell you that cristoforo colombo was a slave maker.

    I am italian,and I should prove some mainland love,but I won't do patriotic idiot things.

    europe developed hate and slavery using poorest part of the world to their aims.

  • yeh he was a slave maker indeed, and yeah thei aimed at the poorest, but poor for europeans couse for natives there was no poor or rich just living in harmony without slaving material goods. They aimed the natives's minds telling them they needed material stuff so they need to become slaves to earn that crap.@khyve313

  • Christopher Columbus R.I.P! Burning Spear so sick!!!!!!

  • a pure righteous choon just blow!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellll!!!!!!!

  • Columbus was the cause of Babylon .. Its all his fault if only he would stayed in Europe the world be a better place damn "Liar "

  • @alarcons07 could you tell me what babylon is? i keep hearing it everywhere

  • @1ZsebastianZ1

    BABYLON IS EVIL, SOCIETY IS EVIL SO SOCIETY IS BABYLON, ALSO THE PORKERS (COPS) ARE BABYLON, JAH GUDIE,

  • @619irieEYE thanks man bless

  • ah dis you call TUNE.RASTAFARI

  • my fave from him!

  • Christopher Columbus brought disease, slavery, thievery, and genocide to America. And now, once a year, I have to wait an extra day to cash my check in his honor.

  • JAM BLASTEED LIAR!

    

  • Christopher Columbus discovered NOTHING, its all part of the intimidation process to cover-up the black man's divine ancestry.

  • fuck sarkozy !!!!!!!!!!!!! man!!

  • the vatican have a huge telescope in USA called lucifer

    says it all

  • Christopher Columbus was a twat....and this tune is boooooooom! Reggae Music and Jah Love to di world

  • Christopher Columbus can suck my dick and everyone who believed in his "Discoveries"

  • Colombus is worse than the romans and Judas because through him slaves were sent to the USA (the Church played a heavy hand in this with him).

  • keep up the good reggae music....

  • Babylon MUST FALL!!!

  • Its Funny How The Europeans Celebrate Christopher Columbus As If Hes A Hero.

    Despite The Fact He Was A Murderer, Land Thief, Extortionist, Rapist And Everything Else Bad.

  • @americangangster86 I'm Portuguese and I don't celebrate Cristovão Colombo as no hero...it would be the same as me saying that Americans celebrate cowboys as being heroes and the Indians as wild cannibal people. History books are written in such a way but you can take your own conclusions out of them...wonderful song though xDDD

  • wonderful song

  • who the hell disliked burning spear?

  • @gladius881

    must be a european

  • @wirechair ???

  • To frozenpeas. You are correct, Natives been here for around 3000 years, perhaps more. Regardless of who did what, or how.. I love The Sound of Burning Spear..PEACE, LOVE,and PROSPERITY to ALL....

  • i am native american from new mexico usa and i wanna say thank you for chanting about the truth my brothers

  • R.i.P him music inspired me

  • @moomjooendi2007

    he's not dead.

  • @kiakiamomo trolling like a baws

  • WHAT ABOUT THE ARAWAK INDIANS?

  • -s :)

  • @humangreenbean

    Idiosyncratic & superficial view, do you watch television???? When they show Jamacia on television they do not always show this. They show the Garrisons, was you not watching the news a few months back when they were looking for Duddus Coke??? How did that show Jamaica in the way you describe??? Have you not seen what they have done to Buju Banton??? Oh please who are you trying to kid!!!! you just wanted something negative to say & you said it.

  • @humangreenbean

    By the way you should check out "Queen Ifrica The Will To Survive" & "Morgan Heritage How Come" it might enlighten you

  • @humangreenbean

    So next time you open a can of beer or food, just think it could come from the Island which has "Blue Mountain Coffee" DWL (Die with laugh) especially since they have a large production of the stuff that makes it. As for music we all know the Caribbean/Africa has GREAT MUSIC & no matter how hard they may struggle & strive music brings them together. And the one thing all Jamaicans know "BETTER MUST COME ONE DAY" "EVERY DISAPPOINTMENT IS GOD APPOINTMENT" PEACE

  • @humangreenbean

    LOL Blue Mountain Coffee HA HA you're too funny. And actually people tend to associate Jamaica & Jamaicans with marijuana, not peaceful vibes. And the point I was making is that there is crime & misery EVERYWHERE not just Jamaica., so what is your point??? Your comment was to try & make it look like that is all there is to Jamaica, when it is not. There are many beautiful things there, not to mention a large portion of bauxite comes from Jamaica.

  • @humangreenbean

    Crime & misery what rubbish are you talking??? There are plenty of happy Jamaicans who would never leave their country for love nor money. Secondly there is crime EVERYWHERE, so what are you talking about. The Caribbean & Africa are full of beautiful & happy people who are proud of their nation. Is America & Englang not riddled with crime & misery, maybe in your mind these are happy places, but if that is the case then you are OBVIOUSLY DELLUSIONAL.

  • look the fact is its obvious he didn't discover anything, that's the point of this song

    its all a cover to soften the image of America on the youth

    if the kids knew how our country was started don;t you think it would began toi open there eyes to the rest of the corruption going on? There would be a revolution.but no(wiseup)

    william lynch said "keep the body take the mind" .. they are still going by this code today,

    there needs to be a serious change. soon, they've been violent, so can we

  • @19Ras Please let us rise up with our minds! Not by more hatred my bruduh. Please show love in everything U do and think. Take a page from Martin Luther, and decide it's better to love U, than toshoot you. Jah can help us overcome them thru SMART planning and Unity. Jah bless de I's.

  • skysthelimitproduction com black history

  • @batanso I'll just light another and forget you just tried to make American Dollars under this riddim

  • If Columbus or Vespucci found people in America when they got here... then the question is... How could either of them have DISCOVERED America? whole heap of MIXUPMIXUP yea!

  • @MrDrake2009 Fyah Burn ah pon Dem!

  • Get the story straight! Research!..Who discovered AMERICA? Not Christopher Columbus!!! It was AMERIGO VESPUCCI Who sailed along The West Coast of South America in 1492. That's why is called AMERICA! And is believed to derive from the latin word AMERICUS.

  • @DORNIERPIEFEL el stupido und das eine debilen wtf?

  • @DollaBiIIz You really don't know what you are talking about....As a white person I do not have an 'entire world view of hating white people' or any people no matter what colour...

  • @bobmarleycherry You are white trash. You're a white uncle tom. Fuck you.

  • @itsgottobefunky they think the entire world is the Indies, from west to east

  • @itsgottobefunky Too bad for you but... England has not been conquered by Africa. By the way, only the English-speaking are stupid enough to call the Carribeans "West Indies". We French people say "Antilles". Have a good day.

  • @CrYsT4LCl4wS Why all the hatred? The one reason.. one would listen to this music is to seek tranquility.. Dont defeat the purpose.. 1 <3.

  • @GeneralHarness Hatred ? No way. "stupid enough" was ironic, huh. Whatever, English-speaking people that live now have absolutely no responsability on the way to name the Carribeans in English...

  • Columbus discovered........... how to pillage from other continents

  • @itsgottobefunky anyone did it, you've inferiority complex? yeah, sure you have

  • @itsgottobefunky because no one had ever done that before Columbus
