@akilamantado I know there were some enslaved Africans in Florida before Jamestown , but I can’t find any proof there were slaves in the Caribbean before then. If you have any articles, etc., that show that there were enslaved Africans in the Caribbean before then, I would love to see them.

@Tydarealest2023 You're lying. Who took those slaves to Florida and where did they land first??! Did you think the Spanish ships skipped by the whole fucking Caribbean so y'all could get to "America First" everything in the 21st century like a pack of propagandized bots? Stay dunce.

@MsWOCReader Yeah, once I took a look at the sources I understood a lot better what the problem was. I always try to emphasize that the influence goes *both* ways to this day on top of the shared common ancestry.

@Tydarealest2023 @JAMAiwuyor If you look at the history of Bahamas it is also heavily entwined with the southern US right up the Gullah Geechee corridor. Some shouter families traced their lineage through the Bahamas. The people move.

So it wasn't a studio decision as Twitter presumed yesterday.
Exclusive: Pharrell Williams and Michel Gondry have walked away from their star-studded movie musical #Golden. Film was in post and now will never see release. Studio absorbs roughly $20 million loss over filmmaker decision. Highly unusual situation.
