The Royal Standard flag lowered signifying the Republic's parting of ways with the Queen. The Royal Standard is flown only when the Sovereign is present.

Barbados became a British Colony in1627. From the 17th century, enslaved people were transported from West Africa and this continued until the beginning of the 19th century. Slavery was abolished in 1834, and Barbados remained a British colony. In 1961, it attained full internal self-government, and full independence was gained on November 30, 1966.

The problem is that most black skinned countries that have gained their 'independence' are still under colonial influence. We're still being ruled by the whites and their proxies, no independence.

They will soon join the league of other failed black nations as usual. Black people need to sit down in sober reflection and ask themselves why they cannot govern their own black nations and lead their people to a communal progress devoid of tribal, ethnic and religious marginalization that breeds corruption, inequality, distrust, genocide, ethnic and religious tensions. Until black people find solution to this, all black nations will continue to dance backwards while the rest of the world progresses. Individual success is not equal to national success. That you have few or a handful of rich people who became rich by looting public funds, romancing with corrupt politicians to cury government favors, cutting corners and engaging in shady deals to amass dirty wealth does not make your nation a success. A successful nation give every citizen the opportunity to succeed and prosper at their own pace without shortchanging their destinies 42 Likes 3 Shares |
