I want to emphasize once more, that the original inhabitants of this land who were and are the Maya, my ancestors, had never left this land. They fought against the Spaniards and kept them away. Many died; many were caught and were taken away, but they never stopped fighting.
There are those that believe that there are no Maya in Belize. According to the last statistics, today?s majority ethnic group in our country are the Mestizos, followed by the Mulattos ? Creoles, and the third majority are the Maya.
I would like to please beg (demand) you youths from Belize City. Whenever you come to Corozal and get drunk, stop making mistakes by cursing and calling us ?aliens.? The Amandala has been trying to teach you that you won?t get anywhere with such attitude. You were the majority in the time of slavery and after as British subjects. Today is the beginning of another era, and you will need us; we are not your enemies.
Your enemies are the UK/USA white supremacists that you put every five years to sit in Belmopan Government House. Can?t you see; can?t you understand?
Today the ?Sons of the British Baymen?s Clan? are proudly flying their flag showing the Maya, Africans, Mulattos, Creoles and Mestizos how they arrived by ship and brought their slaves, gave them saws, axes, paddles and mallets to cut mahogany, set in a shield divided into 3 sections. Below the shield are the Latin words ? ?Sub Umbra Floreo?. Which means, ?Under the shade (of the tree) I flourish.?
To me, it is also saying that the mahogany means wealth, capitalism and greed. All the history of the Baymen Clan and sons which are in the circle is saying to me that ?Under the shade of the People?s United Party tree the Royal Family of Belize shall flourish.? Anyone can understand it by looking and counting the 50 leaves which means the birth of the People?s United Party in 1950. It is set in a circle and whatever is in that circle is automatically converted in the People?s United Party, plus the blue and white flag was the British Baymen flag. The masters who slaughtered our people.
