"Black Bart" Roberts: He'll Shoot Your Eye Out
from Thieves, Rogues, & Renegades Hosted by Thieves, Rogues, & Renegades
We're getting back to our roots and talking about a Caribbean pirate. Bartholomew Roberts, or "Black Bart", is one of- if not THE- most successful of the Caribbean pirates, and the dude sure liked making flags with his face on 'em. From his tremendous successes at sea, to offering what was essentially health insurance, and dropping some pretty casual racism against the Irish, he was truly ahead of his time. He also gave us the code that only truly gained popularity when Johnny Depp talked about it in a Disney movie.
