You don't seem to realize that black West Indians were originally shipped there as slaves from Africa. If the Europeans (not only British) had "left the islands alone to begin with", there would be no black (i.e. of African origin) West Indians in the Caribbean at all! They were not "their" islands: before Spanish conquest in the late 1400s &1500s, the Caribbean islands were inhabited by various Arawak tribes originating in South America, who had in turn conquered and supplanted other indigenous people who had been there for thousands of years. I'm afraid that in those days, 200 to 500 years ago, all over the world *everybody* of every colour tried to conquer and colonize everybody else - it's just that the Europeans were particularly good at at it. Long before the Europeans arrived, West Africa itself, where most of the slaves came from, was a place of dozens of competing native black kingdoms, who spent all their time at war with each other, fighting to get the most land, gold, ivory and slaves - the slaves were traded in their millions, along with gold and ivory, across the Sahara via Timbuktu, to the Muslim world of North Africa.
