I define “Ethnic Caribbeans” as those who are descended from Afro-Caribbean slaves and those of Indigenous Caribbean descent (the aboriginal Amerindian people of the Caribbean known as the Taíno-Arawaks and Island Caribs).

I will not write on those island nations in the Caribbean which are currently Spanish-speaking and whose populations are predominantly Hispanic (people who are mostly of Spanish or Mestizo descent who have little or no aboriginal ancestry). I am NOT of Spanish descent; my Afro-Caribbean and Indigenous Caribbean ancestry comes from Jamaica which is NOT part of the Spanish-Caribbean. Because it was initially the Spanish who invaded the Caribbean and who kidnapped African slaves to Jamaica and elsewhere, given the historical context, those of Spanish/Hispanic descent are my ethnic/ancestral enemies.

Here is what I know to be true in regards to my ancestral line in Jamaica and for most Afro-Jamaicans: what Taíno-Arawak ancestry survived on the island, survived through our Afro-Jamaican ancestors and I know I am descended from the first wave of Africans who were abducted by Spanish and/or Portuguese slavers and stolen to Jamaica in the 16th century during the initial Spanish conquest. I also know the Taíno-Arawak population in Jamaica did not “die out” and survived through interbreeding with the Afro-Jamaican slave population.

The only people of ethnic Jamaican descent who might have Indigenous Caribbean ancestry are those who are descended from Afro-Jamaican slaves.

A key indicator that one has Indigenous Caribbean ancestry:

We feel a natural affinity/kinship to the ecological environment of the Caribbean and feel very strongly about enforcing ancestral and territorial rights in those islands we are descended from. Our Arawak ancestors “island hopped”: they lived on multiple islands in the Caribbean before finally settling on those islands we can directly and most recently trace ancestry from.

I was not born or raised in Jamaica and because that government is foreign to me and because corrupt individuals in a Jamaican parish government court aided in stealing land that I was supposed to inherit from my father, if I am to focus any kind of ethnic/ancestral rights in the Caribbean, it will have to be geared towards my nationality.

A Caribbean tropic paradise is my ethnic/ancestral and moral inheritence; it is NOT for those who have no moral or ethnic/ancestral right to be there.

I claim my God-given rights to those islands in the Caribbean that I have indigenous ancestry from. Humans who aren’t descended from Afro-Caribbean slaves or mixed with African & Indigenous Caribbean ancestry, aren’t welcome there.

The following is my letter to the Governor of the United States Virgin Islands:

December 17th, 2021

Hello. I am a natural born U.S. citizen of Afro-Jamaican and Indigenous Caribbean descent. I have not been to the Virgin Islands and would like to visit and possibly retire there, though I am financially unable to do so at this time. My interest in the U.S. Virgin Islands and other places in the Caribbean is for the enjoyment of the nature: swimming in natural bodies of water, volunteering and spending time in botanical gardens, nature walks in the forest, and assisting in wildlife conservation/rehabilitation programs.

Because my interest in the Caribbean is chiefly for the preservation of the environment there, I feel very strongly that the human population must not increase in the U.S. Virgin Islands and elsewhere. I also feel very strongly that the only human bodies who have a moral right to be in the Caribbean are those who are descended from Afro-Caribbean slaves and those who also have Indigenous Caribbean ancestry.

Because of the evil history of the initial invasion of the Caribbean by the Spanish, the near-genocide of Indigenous Caribbeans perpetrated by the Spanish, and the torture and enslavement of Africans kidnapped to the Caribbean by various European ethnic groups during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, I don’t see how any ethnic foreigner (descendants of Afro-Caribbean slaves are NOT ethnically foreign, however, they are non-Indigenous if not mixed with Island Carib or Taíno-Arawak), would want to be in the Caribbean. Millions of Afro-Caribbean slaves suffered and worked on those islands for hundreds of years, as such, their descendants have moral and ethnic-ancestral rights there. It’s also ENTIRELY INAPPROPRIATE those who are descended from conquistador monsters and other imperialist/colonial invaders and slavers exist in Jamaica or in other English-speaking island nations.

My Afro-Caribbean and Indigenous Caribbean ancestors suffered horrendous atrocities and abuses from Spanish conquistadors and English/British slavers and invaders. In addition, I have been victim to comparatively mild labor exploitation (i.e., modern-day slavery) in the United States of America and it’s not acceptable that I be abused or exploited ever again, especially by those who ethnically and due to the historical relevance of ancestral trauma, are my enemies.

I am requesting legislation be introduced and passed which prohibits non-U.S. citizens and all those of non-Afro-Caribbean and non-Afro/Indigenous Caribbean descent from owning real estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Even if I could afford to, I would NOT ever rent or purchase property in the Caribbean from non-Afro-Caribbeans/non-Indigenous Caribbeans. Non-Afro-Caribbeans and non-Indigenous Caribbeans have NO moral or ancestral right to be property owners there, let alone exist in the Caribbean considering the history of invasion, colonization, imperialism, and some of the worst human rights violations known to man (i.e., slavery and continued economic exploitation and oppression of Afro/Indigenous Caribbeans by our ethnic-historical enemies).

I am requesting the U.S. Virgin Islands government immediately seize/appropriate all real estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands from those human bodies of non-Afro-Caribbean and non-Indigenous Caribbean descent. I am requesting the aforementioned illegitimate property owners NOT receive ANY compensation/money for the real estate to be seized by the U.S. Virgin Islands’ government. Please note: I define the former property owners as “illegitimate” because the aforementioned property owners are not descended from Afro-Caribbean slaves nor are ethnic Afro-Caribbeans mixed with Amerindian ancestry indigenous to islands in the Caribbean.

I am requesting that 80% of real estate seized by the U.S. Virgin Islands government be retained for the purpose of habitat protection/conservation, particularly those parcels/plots that are mostly or all forested and within view of neighboring residential properties. Infrastructural/housing development must be prohibited in these places.

I am requesting that the remaining 20% of real estate seized by the U.S. Virgin Islands government be sold (and in rare instances, gifted) to natural born U.S. citizens of Afro-Caribbean and mixed Afro-Caribbean/Indigenous Caribbean descent (myself included) who will use the parcels/plots as a private residence and for the protection/conservation of the natural habitat there. Commercial use must be prohibited with the exception of one additional house/dwelling on the property which may be used as a vacation rental so that taxes may be collected by the state government from income via the rental unit to help assist the property owner and the U.S. Virgin Islands’ economy.

Emphasis should be placed on eco-tourism in the U.S. Virgin Islands to strengthen the economy and protect the environment there. Individual private property owners of Afro-Caribbean and Indigenous Caribbean descent can serve as “stewards”/caretakers to the natural habitat by residing on the land and having not more than a secondary residence on the property to serve as a vacation rental to qualified individuals who actually appreciate the natural world and who respect our historical and ancestral rights in the Caribbean.
