The dark history of bananas - John Soluri

Now I get why there's a new threatening fungus

So that means that Gros michel died in 1910

"Dark"? I feel like someone should do a TED talk on "the "DARK" history of metaphor"

As a Banana i can confirm This Story is Real

Based CIA

of course there will always be a pest. You guys need to grown biodiverse species around your plantation. (font: voices in my head)

how a fruit divided two countries

Where is the masacre that took place in Colombia????? Thanks to Chiquita!!? You missed the main part.

I just got a Facebook warning by fact checkers, for paying about bananas & seedless GMO taking away our ability to regrow & and cause disease. Anyways, they said false yea, doubtful!!!

I love the use of the term “enslaved Africans”. Very appropriate. There have been, and never will be a such thing as slaves.

YIGA CLAN ASSEMBLE!

What's the best way to Contact Mr. Soluri?

This isn’t entirely true. Most is a false narrative.
I wish the would tell the truth

I thout bananas were berries.

Its funny because TedEd literally predicted the new epidemic with the Cavendish bananas, its the same fungi that destroyed the last one but a different version of it called Tropical Race 4, so get ready for a change in bananas again.

Makes no sense why this wouldn’t be taught in school, oh US made oopsies in Central America so they suffer now 🤷‍♂️

W’s in the chat 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

Like for no reason

The needs of the many out weighed the needs of the few. It doesn't matter the race, if Spain settles in The North America, they would have done the same.

The UK may have sold drugs to get tea. But the US overthrew democracies to get bananas.

Y WAS THE "WHITE MAN" BIGGER THAN THE OTHER PROTESTERS????..
I KNO ITS RANDOM

Funny how we tend to pair monkeys and bananas when we're basically a few strands of dna distant from them ourselves. And I'm not talking about the obvious monkeys lol

I can confirm this, i was the banana

I think we need some banana-cross-breeding and to grow more of our bananas in greenhouses!

You forgot to mention the banana massacre

And they make us think we should be afraid of communists and terrorists, while we should be cautious about big business

Ray Comfort should watch this.

I wonder how they verify this information

Does anyone know a really good recipe of banana bread??????🍌🍞

Imperialism ruins everything.

Potassium

COMMIEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

thank you from Vietnam ❤

The first African slaves didn’t arrive in the US until late August of 1619 not the early 1500’s. Up until then most free labor was done by poor Irish and English.

i love banana <3

What is the song playing in the background?

Bbbhhbhbh

As a Guatemalan with a good lifestyle and knowledge about this, I like that people are knowing the truth of America cruel but learning hisroty.

Love it how they minimize the abusive imperialism imposed on these people

Bananas

YOU KNOW NOTHING OF OUR STRUGGLE, OUR SUFFERING!

I laughed at the title but this isn't funny...I feel so bad now

This is not capitalism which the United Fruit Company did,this is crony capitalism ,which just like communism allows a single entity to have all the properties

So this is why bananas are so cheap.
