@ roughly 1 hr 7 min mark of the OP, but excerpted here


Person in the chat asked about common last names shared between South Carolinians and Bajans




The name that stood out for sports reasons is Middleton, as in Kris Middleton from the recent NBA Finals. Looked it up, and yes.....he was born right in Charleston, SC.

Spoiler

Brathwaite is Fab Five Freddy's last name, and his paternal roots are Barbados.

Good shyt, I’m tryna head down that way sometime next year to check it out, plus do some research if possible. Drayton is a family name of mine that I traced back to South Carolina, so first thing first is to connect the dots on that. Now if it could go even further to Barbados that would be pretty cool too.

Thanks.
