Caribbean people

The imagination which causes so many ravages among us, never speaks to the heart of savages who peaceably wait for the impulses of nature yield to these impulses without choice and with more pleasure than fury and whose desires never outlive their necessity for the thing desired nothing therefore can be more evident than that it is society alone which has added even to love itself as well as to all the other passions that impetuous ardour which so often renders it fatal to mankind and it is so much the more ridiculous to represent savages constantly murdering each other to glut their brutality, as this opinion is diametrically opposite to experience.

And the Caribbeans, the people in the world who have as yet deviated least from the state of nature, are to all intents and purposes the most peaceable in their amours, and the least subject to jealousy, though they live in a burning climate which seems always to add considerably to the activity of these passions." As to the inductions which may be drawn in respect to several species of animals from the battles of the males, who in all seasons cover our poultry yards with blood, and in spring particularly cause our forests to ring again with the noise they make in disputing their females, we must begin by excluding all those species where nature has evidently established, in the relative power of the sexes, relations different from those which exist among us.

Thus from the battle of cocks we can form no induction that will affect the human species.

In the species where the proportion is better observed, these battles must be owing entirely to the fewness of the females compared with the males, or, which is all one, to the exclusive intervals during which the females constantly refuse the addresses of the males.

For Salvadorians, it's a little child.

And for Caribbeans, it's a curse word.

Same word, different meaning, right? For example, in America, a fag is a derogatory term for our homosexual brothers and sisters.

In London, it's a cigarette.

Speaking of Black audience and how you just...

I was like, do you know it's a war within the diaspora of Black people where everybody just separating they self, like the Caribbeans from the foundational Black Americans.

Oh, my [censored], bro.

Like that?

This shit's hilarious to me

...

there is, the Caribbeans is really believing that we have no culture and/or no history and all that.

Yeah.

Well, what we do on this podcast is we look at structures and origins.

I talk a lot about the origins of policing coming out of colonial occupation in the north of Ireland and also slave patrols and stuff in the Carolinas and Caribbeans.

Well, a lot of our normal carceral system Because prisons as they exist today and the police as they exist today have been very, very – in terms of human history, very modern.

And schools.

Chinese.

Hardest crowd to DJ for? Caribbeans.

I said this was quick, so I'm not even going to ask more.

Soca versus dancehall, which controls the room better? Dancehall.

like that.

How has DEI hurt you? Because, you know, a lot of Caribbeans now can't work the kitchens.

Restaurants are going through it.

Whether it's Jamaican, Haitians, and Trini.
