DR UMAR Got Trinidad WRONG... But Rambles Got History & Democracy UPSIDE down.

Dr Umar Johnson recently claimed that Indians are "taking over" Trinidad after the UNC election victory. I disagree. Trinidad and Tobago is a democracy. The UNC won an election and many Afro-Trinidadians either voted UNC or chose not to vote. But while criticising Dr Umar, Rambles made two arguments I take serious issue with: 🔴 "Africans sold Africans, therefore Europeans didn't invade Africa." 🔴 "I don't believe in protesting because the government was democratically elected." In this video I explain why both of these arguments are historically and politically flawed. We discuss: ✔️ Why Dr Umar misunderstood Trinidad politics ✔️ The truth about African involvement in the slave trade ✔️ European colonialism and the Scramble for Africa ✔️ Why protest is essential in any democracy ✔️ Cambridge Analytica and political manipulation in Trinidad ✔️ Why democracy is more than voting every five years This isn't about UNC vs PNM. This isn't about Black vs Indian. It's about history, facts and protecting democracy. What do you think? Was Dr Umar wrong about Trinidad? Is "Africans sold Africans" an oversimplification? Should people continue to protest after elections? Let me know in the comments. #TEN #TrinidadEmpowermentNetwork Dr Umar Johnson
