This was the most uneducated video I seen in along time, this man could never be Jamaican even if he was born in Jamaica but you sellouts would sell your own mother to the wt man because it makes you feel good to be accepted by them.
I could of really dragged this Jamaican mammy but yt keeps deleting my comments, this video made my blood boil because she has no integrity and very uneducated. I wonder if a black man was raised in China would that make him Chinese and would they accept him as one 🤔 but we're so quick and willing to sell our behind to the wt man because it makes some of us sleep better at night.
@@ReySully Being raised in Japan does not mean your Nationality is Japanese that's the most uneducated response you could of came up with 🙄... being a 'Jamaican' or 'Afr I can' is more then being raised or born in these lands it's the tradition, culture, inheritance and most importantly your genetics, this is the same argument i have with the wt people in SA. Same difference. But you all will sell your soul for crumbs.
@@idie-vested2.024 I wouldnt even think about asking a black person that lived in england their whole life if they were english, theres a difference between ethnicity and nationality. Leave your gatekeeping black culture behind, its embaressing and blatantly racist
I had the chance to watch him perform his comedy skit, as part of a birthday gift to my mom. Not once did we question his Nationality. His swag, his confidence, his tone of voice says Jamaican man. 💯
I am beginning to think jamaica is the least racist country on earth. I live in Jamaica and have spent time in both Canada and the US. Race is a never ending topic in America and Canada. The topic of race ended when the British left jamaica. May God bless and bring prosperity to 🇯🇲.
Culture isn’t race. Culture is what you’re brought up around. He went to school there he spent majority of his life there. He probably knows more about Jamaican culture than most “Jamaicans” do In the U.K.
From a previous interview, his entire family is Jamaican. It's health circumstances that lead his mom to overseas to give birth to him. Once she gave birth to him they return when he was three months old. The man is 100% Jamaican. Boycott the show.

@@progressivelife841 he said his mum had a miscarriage before so she went to England to give birth to him and then went back to Jamaica when he was 3 months old
@@progressivelife841 it’s cos some of these ppl don’t understand race, ethnicity and nationality. Like he’s white british, but he his nationally jamaican
@@progressivelife841 Not exactly the same his parents both lived in jamaican but had a bad experience with the child before him with Healthcare system in there area,, back then Jamaicans only needed a ticket and their jamaican passport to go to England so she went over there to give birth for Healthcare purposes. So she did just that and return 3 months later after he was cleared. Again they are Jamaicans his parents lived in Jamaica saint Elizabeth is a place known to find white or almost white Jamaicans
I was born in America by a Jamaican woman who immigrated to a America and an African American father. I spent my early childhood in St. James. I speak patois and have eaten Jamaican food all my life. I don't call myself a Jamaican because I wasn't born there. But I am who I am because of Jamaica. So culturally I'm Jamaican but not in the sense that I was born there. My step Grandmother is Chines Jamaican who was born there who was married to my blood Jamaican Grandfather for many years. Jamaicans are not just black,
your mother is Jamaican....you are Jamaican and American. I don't understand why you wouldn't call yourself Jamaican. A Chinese person born in American is American but still acknowledges that they are Chinese.
Great video. I'm a British black man. Mum from Zim dad from Jam. UK is most I know. I can't even speak like my descendents. My guy is Jamaican. I have people question how British I am...In 2021 nearly 2022. Come on people don't be sheepin.
If you were born and raised in England then you are English, you are part of your parents but you are English. People shouldn’t question that because of your skin colour. Just like these women shouldn’t be racist towards yardie because they’re jealous he knows who he is.
I love your passion. Please get White Yardy on for an interview. These kids need to learn from a black Jamaican . I'm white in my early 40s and grew up with Jamaicans in UK and there was never this level of racism growing up. There was def some, enough that I self-censor around black people despite it was only a handful who made disparaging comments those comments stuck. These guys on the show should know better and the fact they felt emboldened to speak that way on mainstream tv just shows where we're at.
He was so patient that when he was asked, "When did you decide that you were Jamaican?" I thought it was pretty disrespectful, considering that the man spent 99% of his life in Jamaica in a working class family.
I have massive respect for you and this interview. Even I as a fellow black Brit cannot understand where the interviewers get off asking him when he decided to be Jamaican. I was so embarrassed. I bet they never stepped foot in JA. Unfortunately there's a lot of black Brits who think they're more Caribbean than those born there. It's bloody ridiculous. They had the opportunity to educate themselves but instead came out worse off. That was my first time watching them and it will be the last.
They also think U.K. has the largest Caribbean population outside the Caribbean, I say this as a Caribbean born and raised in the U.K., (although I lived there for 8 years).
His mother get pregnant with him in Jamaica and came to England to give birth to him, and go back to Jamaica when he was a baby he growing up in Jamaica go to school there everything about him is Jamaica!!!! I think they are jealous they must not interviewing people if they are bad mine
Michelle i love listening to you. I v never heard you said nothing out of the way about anyone you always been respectable and I must say you're a breath of fresh air
So true. I was born in the UK to Jamaican parents and grew up in Europe and the US. I've only been to Jamaica twice. The man is more Jamaican than me, because he grew up there from small. Jamaica is a culture. It is what he's grew up in.

This highly intelligent woman gives her viewpoint so beautifully I agree 10000%. I saw the White Yardie interview, it made me CRINGE! l couldn’t believe what I was hearing and seeing. It was absolutely disgraceful, but White Yardie handled it magnificently, that pathetic interview panel should’ve been fired! It’s ironic how not long ago white British people ‘interviewed’ black British people in that same bigoted way! As she mentioned Instead of maxing the opportunity to educate a British TV audience about the diverse Jamaican culture those interviewers unmasked their own ignorance, prejudices and insecurities in the same way as many white British people would’ve done in the 1960s/70s. They definitely came across like a bunch of bigoted idiots.
I am not sure where you live; but I live in the United States of America. Here we would ask you to “say it louder so the people in the back could hear you.” Lol. It just means you are so on point with your comment! Give thanks for the great articulated reference points. I grew up watching some BBC here.
@@mydaughter2837 I live in the U.K., I wish I was in the audience that day to shout at that panel and straighten them out a little. I honestly thought it was a comedy sketch from the ‘90s. I couldn’t believe they were serious with that totally absurd line of enquiry. I felt sorry for White Yardie having to put up with a panel of idiots with heads full of flannel.
@@Pulsonar What incensed me even more was one of the female interviewers had the nerve to put out a chastisement response. She basically said White Yardie, knew what to expect. She was upset that there was an uproar at the rude and disrespectful behavior shown by the young man who asked White Yardie “When did he decide he was Jamaican?” The female interviewer, was upset that the public was aghast, at the blatant rudeness and ignorance shown. She said the young man “was being harassed and had to delete his social media account(s).” Again, I thought here was a perfect opportunity for the interviewer to apologize. However, it was another wasted opportunity. The interview really bothered me. Long story short, I have a beautiful chocolate skin tone, and unbeknownst to me, 23+ years ago, many people did not believe my children who are lighter are my children. I only found out when they got older. It annoyed the heck out of me when I found out. Here we were fairly new to the south and also were dealing with racism.
This video says it all!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Much respect to you for this. Their interview upset alot of people with their ignorance, disrespect and stupidity. I couldn't believe what I was watching. They embarrassed themselves and made themselves look ridiculous. I will never support them or watch their show after seeing them treat white yardie like that. It's like they were looking down on him , thinking they were better than him, trying to belittle him and make him look stupid. But he handled the situation so well and stayed dignified the whole way through. He deserves an apology from each and every one on the panel. And they, as a panel need educating and training into how to do interviewing properly respectfully and fairly. Coz that interview was a disgrace.
It warms my heart to hear you talk out of many 1 people I'm from London with Irish heritage I teach my children to never be racist and I teach them history and politics and how ignorant judging people by the colour of there skin is and it's so obvious Be decent people please it's 2021
I came here to hear Madonna’s intellectual view on this because even asking the man when he decided to be a Jamaican and if he has a Jamaican passport like…🙄🙄🙄 He handled it well oh!
I am a British Jamaican heritage and my father is Jamaican and he always grow me to believe that in Jamaica we expect each other no matter the skin colour and like he always preach to me out of many one people in JA.

But he's Jamaican. His nationality is Jamaican. Regardless of his parents. His mother conceived him I Jamaica, she went England to have him and from he was 3 months, he was raised in Jamaica. They think it's just Black people deh here. Those ppl disgust me
Exactly, and the question that made even more upset is when that young man asked "When did you decide you were Jamaican" Yardie you good.....cause me would a dip innna him collar. But that's just me.
@@user-qr5rh9ej5l Ok, maybe I didn't present my comment right in the sense I meant, African Caribbeans are not the native people of Jamaica. The orignal Caribs got taken out, well most of them.
Michelle, you rock lady? Love ya big time. When I grew up most of my friends were Jamaican and we'd hang around and they would teach me patois. Because they loved to chat patois all day long and they were fed up of translating to little old me. That was more than 40 years ago. Jamaicans from my experience are the least racist people on the planet. Lovely people. So friendly and respectful of people and you reminded me of that. They love the country and the culture and the food and the music and it brings them together regardless of race. Why those folks on the panel were so hard on him, just because he was white they clearly are loosing any Jamaican heritage they ever had. Maybe they need to go there for a month or two and visit places like German Town, see it for themselves. One love x
100% agree! His being there brought out a ton of their identity issues. Understanding that this whiteman is more "jamaican" than they are... you can tell it messed with them.
Michelle, you are spot on! White Yardie held his composure so well in the interview, I respect him for not losing his temper. He explained it so well of the fundamental difference between nationality and ethnicity. You're so right in saying, this interview would've been a great opportunity to educate people and for the panel to ask some great questions.
Just seen it I absolutely agree especially about the tone! It was almost aggressive and dismissive. In my eyes anyone who grows up in a country from being a 3 month old baby is a national of that country, absolutely. Why should being born and being in a country for 3 months define the rest of his life? Wonderfully articulated video!

Loved this. Thank you. Totally agree. I watched only a portian of that interview off Insta and everyones body language and manner in which they spoke in was so not what I was expecting from an interview panel. Hosting a show in this capacity takes years and years of experience so giving this level of exposure to unexperienced hosts results in something like we witnessed. Thank you again for this reaction. fully agree.
Thank you sister!! It could have been an amazing opportunity for discussion and education and finding out about another person's lifestyle and perhaps his heart and soul!?! Geraldo Rivera is a Jewish man, and yet he kept his composure and made sure his audience kept theirs while he interviewed the Grand Wizard of the KKK!!! How can we change anything if we are part of the problem???? BE THE CHANGE...!!!❤💛💚✌️
To me white Yardi is Jamaican it na matter where he's born, the fact that he was raised in Jamaica and embrace the culture that's all that matters. Out of many one people.
If ĥis parents are Jamaicans. he is legally eligible to be registered as Jamaican. If he grew up in Jamaica, his culture is Jamaican. Color is a physical feature or phenotype. It is not the person.
i like the way you say skin tone rather than color. Because it is skin tone. Everyone has the same skin color. I'm a white guy from london. I was raised in Croydon, nextdoor neighbours Jamacians other side was from Guyana and I'm quater Indian but to look at im white. I find it soooo weird that some young black british people think they have the right to question someones authenticity even though themselves are not from that country.... Culture coes from being their. from the thick and the thin, living it, tasting it smelling it, feeling it and seeing it. Going there for 2 months out of 10 years of your 28 years a live dosent beat the white guy who was raised there. Lets be honest like the 3 months at the beginning made a difference to who he was pshhhhhhh. I loce hear real Jamaicans opinions on this.
Facts I watched this and felt uncomfortable for the man trying to pull the rug or crag him out and I think he showed humility and reserve and smashed big up white yardage Give the man a show
I think they should personally apologise to White Yardie. Because his more intelligent than them and the way they spoke to him was so out of order. Zeze after getting such platform and talking down on a brother like that. Out of order
No foreigner can disrespect NO JAMAICAN. No matter what color dem skin is we are Jamaican and proud. We have our problems with one another but that is for us to handle. They need to respect us, all of us.
Absolutely agree with you! I saw the interview and was taken aback, the ignorance was astonishing! And rude. They showed themselves to be not ready. I Think White Yardy expressed himself eloquently, it could have gone left!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I still love him.

This was the most uneducated video I seen in along time, this man could never be Jamaican even if he was born in Jamaica but you sellouts would sell your own mother to the wt man because it makes you feel good to be accepted by them.
I could of really dragged this Jamaican mammy but yt keeps deleting my comments, this video made my blood boil because she has no integrity and very uneducated. I wonder if a black man was raised in China would that make him Chinese and would they accept him as one 🤔 but we're so quick and willing to sell our behind to the wt man because it makes some of us sleep better at night.
@@idie-vested2.024 if a black man was raised in Japan, his nationality would be Japanese. it’s that simple
@@ReySully Being raised in Japan does not mean your Nationality is Japanese that's the most uneducated response you could of came up with 🙄... being a 'Jamaican' or 'Afr I can' is more then being raised or born in these lands it's the tradition, culture, inheritance and most importantly your genetics, this is the same argument i have with the wt people in SA. Same difference. But you all will sell your soul for crumbs.
@@idie-vested2.024 I wouldnt even think about asking a black person that lived in england their whole life if they were english, theres a difference between ethnicity and nationality. Leave your gatekeeping black culture behind, its embaressing and blatantly racist
I had the chance to watch him perform his comedy skit, as part of a birthday gift to my mom. Not once did we question his Nationality. His swag, his confidence, his tone of voice says Jamaican man. 💯
100% agree with you Mish!
Yinka needs to be held accountable for her actions, the whole show needs to be held accountable.
What a a disgrace!
Absolutely
I hear you, but... It's done wonders for his exposure and publicity.
Clearly the interviewer is not a professional or educated journalist.
'clap your cheeks for the white man' nothing borderline about that closing comment. It was pure racism.
This woman is so well educated and delivers information perfectly. She must be a teacher or something, surely!!
I think she is a nurse.
Do you understand patois tho?😂
I wish this woman was my auntie 🤣🤣🤟🏽
She’s our internet auntie lol
Same
Trust mi when I say we Jamaicans are proud. If you offend one of us you offend all of us. Wi passionate bout wi culture so dont pass yuh place 😅
I am beginning to think jamaica is the least racist country on earth. I live in Jamaica and have spent time in both Canada and the US. Race is a never ending topic in America and Canada. The topic of race ended when the British left jamaica. May God bless and bring prosperity to 🇯🇲.
Good points well made. English middle class people questioning a working class Jamaican on his nationality based solely on his skin colour
That man is a real yardie!🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Culture isn’t race. Culture is what you’re brought up around. He went to school there he spent majority of his life there. He probably knows more about Jamaican culture than most “Jamaicans” do In the U.K.
True. Culture is not race.
From a previous interview, his entire family is Jamaican. It's health circumstances that lead his mom to overseas to give birth to him. Once she gave birth to him they return when he was three months old. The man is 100% Jamaican. Boycott the show.
are you aware of beckford the plantation owner? this video shows some of the atrocities he committed in Jamaica ruclips.net/video/injqATWMRkM/видео.html Also are you aware that Ackee is not native to Jamaica it was brought to Jamaica by enslaved Africans. Ackee is native to West Africa. Anyways have a great day.
white yardie and i growup togather in St. Elizabeth
So true and he did not back down he said even though he was born in England jamaica is where he grew up and that's his culture
Oh so he never born in Jamaica wow, thought he was born in Jamaica. He is an English Jamaican.
@@progressivelife841 he said his mum had a miscarriage before so she went to England to give birth to him and then went back to Jamaica when he was 3 months old
@@progressivelife841 it’s cos some of these ppl don’t understand race, ethnicity and nationality. Like he’s white british, but he his nationally jamaican
The same people will get mad if a white person says their not British because they’re black. This is hypocrisy at the highest order
@@progressivelife841 Not exactly the same his parents both lived in jamaican but had a bad experience with the child before him with Healthcare system in there area,, back then Jamaicans only needed a ticket and their jamaican passport to go to England so she went over there to give birth for Healthcare purposes. So she did just that and return 3 months later after he was cleared. Again they are Jamaicans his parents lived in Jamaica saint Elizabeth is a place known to find white or almost white Jamaicans
I was born in America by a Jamaican woman who immigrated to a America and an African American father. I spent my early childhood in St. James. I speak patois and have eaten Jamaican food all my life. I don't call myself a Jamaican because I wasn't born there. But I am who I am because of Jamaica. So culturally I'm Jamaican but not in the sense that I was born there. My step Grandmother is Chines Jamaican who was born there who was married to my blood Jamaican Grandfather for many years. Jamaicans are not just black,
I am a Jamaican of predominantly East Indian descent. Ancestors came in 1830s after slavery ended.
your mother is Jamaican....you are Jamaican and American. I don't understand why you wouldn't call yourself Jamaican. A Chinese person born in American is American but still acknowledges that they are Chinese.
Great video.
I'm a British black man.
Mum from Zim dad from Jam.
UK is most I know.
I can't even speak like my descendents.
My guy is Jamaican.
I have people question how British I am...In 2021 nearly 2022.
Come on people don't be sheepin.
If you were born and raised in England then you are English, you are part of your parents but you are English. People shouldn’t question that because of your skin colour. Just like these women shouldn’t be racist towards yardie because they’re jealous he knows who he is.
@@aislinlindsay3950 To be English you need to be white European dna doesn't work like that
I love your passion. Please get White Yardy on for an interview. These kids need to learn from a black Jamaican . I'm white in my early 40s and grew up with Jamaicans in UK and there was never this level of racism growing up. There was def some, enough that I self-censor around black people despite it was only a handful who made disparaging comments those comments stuck. These guys on the show should know better and the fact they felt emboldened to speak that way on mainstream tv just shows where we're at.
This is like the racism of the old days when people said ‘you can’t be British’
As an immigrant myself it was absolutely horrible to watch.
Great to see actual Jamaican people calling this out for what it is. Not plastic Jamaicans who’ve known nothing but England.
He was so patient that when he was asked, "When did you decide that you were Jamaican?" I thought it was pretty disrespectful, considering that the man spent 99% of his life in Jamaica in a working class family.
Amen Sister 🙏.
I have massive respect for you and this interview. Even I as a fellow black Brit cannot understand where the interviewers get off asking him when he decided to be Jamaican. I was so embarrassed. I bet they never stepped foot in JA. Unfortunately there's a lot of black Brits who think they're more Caribbean than those born there. It's bloody ridiculous. They had the opportunity to educate themselves but instead came out worse off. That was my first time watching them and it will be the last.
They also think U.K. has the largest Caribbean population outside the Caribbean, I say this as a Caribbean born and raised in the U.K., (although I lived there for 8 years).
His mother get pregnant with him in Jamaica and came to England to give birth to him, and go back to Jamaica when he was a baby he growing up in Jamaica go to school there everything about him is Jamaica!!!! I think they are jealous they must not interviewing people if they are bad mine
Like Colin Powel plenty Caribbean people do that for citizenship 😁
She’s 10000000% right.
Michelle i love listening to you. I v never heard you said nothing out of the way about anyone you always been respectable and I must say you're a breath of fresh air
So true. I was born in the UK to Jamaican parents and grew up in Europe and the US. I've only been to Jamaica twice. The man is more Jamaican than me, because he grew up there from small. Jamaica is a culture. It is what he's grew up in.
Damn I'm not even the interviewer who asked crappy questions and yet I feel like this woman got me all together 😭 her passion is so amazing.
I agree with you one hundred percent. They disrespected White Yardie and sought to humiliate him. Yes indeed, Jamaica, Out of Many One People.
He's 100% Jamaican
are you aware of beckford the plantation owner? this video shows some of the atrocities he committed in Jamaica ruclips.net/video/injqATWMRkM/видео.html Also are you aware that Ackee is not native to Jamaica it was brought to Jamaica by enslaved Africans. Ackee is native to West Africa. Anyways have a great day.
You are the gift the world needs
The interview was very disrespectful in fact he had more sense than the others
This highly intelligent woman gives her viewpoint so beautifully I agree 10000%. I saw the White Yardie interview, it made me CRINGE! l couldn’t believe what I was hearing and seeing. It was absolutely disgraceful, but White Yardie handled it magnificently, that pathetic interview panel should’ve been fired! It’s ironic how not long ago white British people ‘interviewed’ black British people in that same bigoted way! As she mentioned Instead of maxing the opportunity to educate a British TV audience about the diverse Jamaican culture those interviewers unmasked their own ignorance, prejudices and insecurities in the same way as many
white British people would’ve done in the 1960s/70s. They definitely came across like a bunch of bigoted idiots.
I am not sure where you live; but I live in the United States of America. Here we would ask you to “say it louder so the people in the back could hear you.” Lol. It just means you are so on point with your comment! Give thanks for the great articulated reference points. I grew up watching some BBC here.
@@mydaughter2837 I live in the U.K., I wish I was in the audience that day to shout at that panel and straighten them out a little. I honestly thought it was a comedy sketch from the ‘90s. I couldn’t believe they were serious with that totally absurd line of enquiry. I felt sorry for White Yardie having to put up with a panel of idiots with heads full of flannel.
@@Pulsonar What incensed me even more was one of the female interviewers had the nerve to put out a chastisement response. She basically said White Yardie, knew what to expect. She was upset that there was an uproar at the rude and disrespectful behavior shown by the young man who asked White Yardie “When did he decide he was Jamaican?” The female interviewer, was upset that the public was aghast, at the blatant rudeness and ignorance shown. She said the young man “was being harassed and had to delete his social media account(s).” Again, I thought here was a perfect opportunity for the interviewer to apologize. However, it was another wasted opportunity.
The interview really bothered me. Long story short, I have a beautiful chocolate skin tone, and unbeknownst to me, 23+ years ago, many people did not believe my children who are lighter are my children. I only found out when they got older. It annoyed the heck out of me when I found out. Here we were fairly new to the south and also were dealing with racism.
This video says it all!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Much respect to you for this.
Their interview upset alot of people with their ignorance, disrespect and stupidity. I couldn't believe what I was watching. They embarrassed themselves and made themselves look ridiculous. I will never support them or watch their show after seeing them treat white yardie like that. It's like they were looking down on him , thinking they were better than him, trying to belittle him and make him look stupid. But he handled the situation so well and stayed dignified the whole way through. He deserves an apology from each and every one on the panel. And they, as a panel need educating and training into how to do interviewing properly respectfully and fairly. Coz that interview was a disgrace.
What a queen. We need more women like you
Thank you! I was so vex after this ignorant interview. It was so offensive!
This woman is so on point: that interview was a disgrace.
Finally someone from the island speak pon di fuckery weh went down Inna di interview one bag ah ignorance and fuckery
Should be proud of this man claiming to be Jamaican standing proud. ❤️
So beautifully said. They lost a really valuable moment with that interview. Yardie handled it beautifully. Respect!
It warms my heart to hear you talk out of many 1 people I'm from London with Irish heritage I teach my children to never be racist and I teach them history and politics and how ignorant judging people by the colour of there skin is and it's so obvious
Be decent people please it's 2021
True true mi girl. The man knows his identity more dan who a chat negative bout him.
Well done for sticking up for the brother, very eloquently put 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🇬🇧
I came here to hear Madonna’s intellectual view on this because even asking the man when he decided to be a Jamaican and if he has a Jamaican passport like…🙄🙄🙄
He handled it well oh!
I am a British Jamaican heritage and my father is Jamaican and he always grow me to believe that in Jamaica we expect each other no matter the skin colour and like he always preach to me out of many one people in JA.
are you aware of beckford the plantation owner? this video shows some of the atrocities he committed in Jamaica ruclips.net/video/injqATWMRkM/видео.html Also are you aware that Ackee is not native to Jamaica it was brought to Jamaica by enslaved Africans.

phhh @@friendlyguy40
But he's Jamaican. His nationality is Jamaican. Regardless of his parents. His mother conceived him I Jamaica, she went England to have him and from he was 3 months, he was raised in Jamaica.
They think it's just Black people deh here. Those ppl disgust me
I don’t know his nationality since he was not born there but his ethnicity is Jamaican by parents and culture is Jamaican by raising.
He can’t appropriate a culture that is already his culture.
Exactly, and the question that made even more upset is when that young man asked "When did you decide you were Jamaican" Yardie you good.....cause me would a dip innna him collar. But that's just me.
You are so right and it makes the interviewers come off as dunce and uninformed. Well said my sister!
The native people of Jamaica are not even African Caribbeans .
I don't think they realize that...if they check their dna they would know...hence the motto
Pure lies. They are black. Any claim to the contrary is a colonial myth.
@@user-qr5rh9ej5l Ok, maybe I didn't present my comment right in the sense I meant, African Caribbeans are not the native people of Jamaica. The orignal Caribs got taken out, well most of them.
@@user-qr5rh9ej5l bruh u have comprehension issues
Big up to white yardie he doesn't know any other culture he grows up in Jamaica he is a real real Jamaican
Totally agree with this, man should’ve walked out when the continued it after he said he’d been in Jamaica since 3/mo old!
You’re a wonderful person ❤ I loved listening to this
Exactly that "lets clap for the white man" was disgusting.
“What age were you when you started identifying as Jamaican.?” He was about the same age as you were when you started identifying as black.
Michelle, you rock lady? Love ya big time. When I grew up most of my friends were Jamaican and we'd hang around and they would teach me patois. Because they loved to chat patois all day long and they were fed up of translating to little old me. That was more than 40 years ago.
Jamaicans from my experience are the least racist people on the planet. Lovely people. So friendly and respectful of people and you reminded me of that. They love the country and the culture and the food and the music and it brings them together regardless of race. Why those folks on the panel were so hard on him, just because he was white they clearly are loosing any Jamaican heritage they ever had. Maybe they need to go there for a month or two and visit places like German Town, see it for themselves.
One love x
Absolutely phenomenal! I'd love to see you on that show!
100% agree! His being there brought out a ton of their identity issues. Understanding that this whiteman is more "jamaican" than they are... you can tell it messed with them.
Michelle, you are spot on! White Yardie held his composure so well in the interview, I respect him for not losing his temper. He explained it so well of the fundamental difference between nationality and ethnicity. You're so right in saying, this interview would've been a great opportunity to educate people and for the panel to ask some great questions.
Just seen it I absolutely agree especially about the tone! It was almost aggressive and dismissive. In my eyes anyone who grows up in a country from being a 3 month old baby is a national of that country, absolutely. Why should being born and being in a country for 3 months define the rest of his life? Wonderfully articulated video!
I could listen to this woman all day long 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️
Good morning talk truth lady, u are very smart woman, need to be a judge for real,,thank you,,
since slavery, there was never a point that white poeple wasnt living in jamaica
Thank you for voicing your opinion on this. You are amazing and I love that you stand up for your Jamaican brother despite the colour of his skin.
are you aware of beckford the plantation owner? this video shows some of the atrocities he committed in Jamaica ruclips.net/video/injqATWMRkM/видео.html Also are you aware that Ackee is not native to Jamaica it was brought to Jamaica by enslaved Africans. Ackee is native to West Africa. Anyways have a great day.
Loved this. Thank you. Totally agree. I watched only a portian of that interview off Insta and everyones body language and manner in which they spoke in was so not what I was expecting from an interview panel. Hosting a show in this capacity takes years and years of experience so giving this level of exposure to unexperienced hosts results in something like we witnessed. Thank you again for this reaction. fully agree.
You are right. I just watched the interview, the panel were so aggressive , I hope that those hosts are watching this video.
I watched this interview and found it really embarrassing. “When did you identify as Jamaican?”-a genuine question by one of the hosts. Crazy
Thank you sister!! It could have been an amazing opportunity for discussion and education and finding out about another person's lifestyle and perhaps his heart and soul!?! Geraldo Rivera is a Jewish man, and yet he kept his composure and made sure his audience kept theirs while he interviewed the Grand Wizard of the KKK!!! How can we change anything if we are part of the problem???? BE THE CHANGE...!!!❤💛💚✌️
Well said . Love the way you deliver your view . ❤️❤️
I accept yardie as jamaican infact he is more jamaican than i am.
The culture vibe is running through his body.
I respect the man he IS a jamaican.
I have a lot of respect for you, thanks for telling it how it is 👊🏻
I have to agree with you, How can they just question his nationality like that? He is Jamaican and that's it
To me white Yardi is Jamaican it na matter where he's born, the fact that he was raised in Jamaica and embrace the culture that's all that matters. Out of many one people.
I love ❤️ you love the way how you speak girl keep it up
I fully agree with everything you said
Thank you for saying this 👏🏾. He is a Jamaican period 🇯🇲🇯🇲
If ĥis parents are Jamaicans. he is legally eligible to be registered as Jamaican. If he grew up in Jamaica, his culture is Jamaican. Color is a physical feature or phenotype. It is not the person.
Big up uno self!! A real talk dis!
i like the way you say skin tone rather than color. Because it is skin tone. Everyone has the same skin color. I'm a white guy from london. I was raised in Croydon, nextdoor neighbours Jamacians other side was from Guyana and I'm quater Indian but to look at im white. I find it soooo weird that some young black british people think they have the right to question someones authenticity even though themselves are not from that country....
Culture coes from being their. from the thick and the thin, living it, tasting it smelling it, feeling it and seeing it. Going there for 2 months out of 10 years of your 28 years a live dosent beat the white guy who was raised there. Lets be honest like the 3 months at the beginning made a difference to who he was pshhhhhhh. I loce hear real Jamaicans opinions on this.
There they were trying to sound like Euroes but tearing down the man.
Facts I watched this and felt uncomfortable for the man trying to pull the rug or crag him out and I think he showed humility and reserve and smashed big up white yardage
Give the man a show
Sorry I must add very good video explained brilliant 💯👊🏾
What Yinka Bokkinni forget is her mum is white Irish so this gal is really fool 😂! 💯👊🏾
I think they should personally apologise to White Yardie. Because his more intelligent than them and the way they spoke to him was so out of order. Zeze after getting such platform and talking down on a brother like that. Out of order
No foreigner can disrespect NO JAMAICAN. No matter what color dem skin is we are Jamaican and proud. We have our problems with one another but that is for us to handle. They need to respect us, all of us.
You could teach them interviewing girls a thing or two really enjoyed your assessment of that interview thank u very balanced approach 👍
She need to get White Yardy on and interview him.
Sweet lady i wish you asked the questions. Fire intelect. Bless you. This lady dropped massive bombs. Respect
Amen! Glad you guys have his back!
Absolutely agree with you! I saw the interview and was taken aback, the ignorance was astonishing! And rude. They showed themselves to be not ready. I Think White Yardy expressed himself eloquently, it could have gone left!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I still love him.
