Nice to see them showing a different side of Jamaica. We are not just the slums that a lot of documentaries love to highlight. There are beautiful places in Jamaica too (not talking about the resorts).
That's what most American journalists do, higlight poverty. If you see documentaries on Haiti, you'd never see anything other than slum life. Haiti has natural beauty and affluent neighbourhoods too. Ugh!
@@Thingsofjamerica im not from jamaica but i love everything in it the culture,dances,songs and parties but fr the gun violence really make me scared to come there
I remember the first time returning home... I cried when the plane landed in Montego Bay... I don't know bout anybody else but JAMAICA is really best nation on earth 🇯🇲
You guys made me smile and cry at the same time. I was crying along with Lester’s Mom and I was smiling so much when Jenna saw her birth record. I was literally born just 12 days before Jenna. Same year as well. 🌸🌸 I was born in Westmoreland Jamaica. I would NEVER trade being born anywhere else in the world. My childhood days were nothing short of a fairy tale. Rivers, mango trees and the strong support of a community. My father is Indian and my mother is black. I truly love the diversity of our people…. Thanks so much for sharing this!! 🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲
I know exactly what you mean. I migrated at 16 and those memories are some of the best of my life. My girls will never be able to relate to waking up with the beach a few yards away, fresh fruit picked everyday and sunny skies always. that will be my retirement destination God's willing
Bob Marley's song Crazy Baldheads was about his neighbours who used to constantly call the police on him when he used to beat his drums and sing....nice to put a face to it
mangastar234 Yes the western world is really crazy about those raves. Every minute they're listening to their EDPM music, dancing while intoxicated in their lucid drug haze, glow stick in hand making a mockery of themselves and their western ways. This is a joke btw.
@Ana Lou ... U are a hateful creature Ana. U do have a point with thngs moving slower than they shud making it to be backward as u say and why we hve a high rate of brain drain. However, no matter how much hate u spew towards my beautiful island, it won't stop us from living and loving life and our ppl. Faults are there and wickedness does occur but plz tell me where ur from where this is nonexistent? Where corruption and hatred and decisiveness is not among it's ppl. Stop throwing stones love.... look around, we all live in a glass house
I met Lester once, didn't say a thing to him but I knew who he was. He was very quiet (along with his wife) and seemed like a very likable guy. I was also happy he got the chance to anchor the nightly news bringing in a breath of fresh air. I'm also just learning he has Jamaican roots. Even better. Congrats to him.
Mad love to my Jamaican roots! 🇯🇲 ....born here in Canada...but have been to Jamaica a few times. Looking forward to taking my kids ro see their roots! 🧡🧡🧡🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
How wonderful! I was born in Jamaica and left when I was seven. It is forever in my heart and blood. My family were there for hundreds of years. Thank you, Lester and Jenna, for a wonderful and heartwarming video.
I really appreciate this video. They keep highlighting the crime in the tiny areas. And ppl are going there and posting a lot of harmful things online. JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD, IT HAS BAD SIDE. But compared to many places... it has a lot more peace love and harmony to it...
Yeh man! I'm from Clarendon and whenever anyone (not from Jamaica) finds out that I'm a Jamaican, they always look bewildered with a retort; "no, you don't look like a Jamaican!" Makes me wanna punch them in their faces as I ask them; What does a Jamaican look like, you fool? Out Of Many One People. Respek!
Many people don't seem to know the history of Caribbean countries. Jamaica was colonised by the British and built up by a mixture of African and English people, and is known as the British Commonwealth..........Within many Jamaicans families there are a mixture of fair skinned and dark skinned people. They are not described as BLACK or WHITE.
Roxy Williams Right so annoying. Jamaica is a country not a race! Is American or Canadian one race? I’m proud of my people and they would fight if you tell them they aren’t Jamaican!
My family on both sides are also from Clarendon - Mocho. I'm UK born and raised, but now live in The Netherlands. I have the same problem. People in Europe don't think I'm Jamaican, Many think I'm African.
I love my Jamaican up bringing and background, and funny enough Jamaicans does not tolerate foolishness. We are a loving kind of people very layback, and despite what is going on now on the island we were once our neighbors keeper. Never knew Lester Holt and his co-host has Jamaican roots in them nice to know.
The story that made jamaica is of many colours, ( yes there are some bad parts to the story) which is true of all countries, but its the bonding of all, together, to create that beautiful formation called ( one love) that makes a country truly outstanding
I'm Jamaican who came to the US in 1978, and my first love or crush from second to 7th grade, on a Chinese boy name Howard Chung. My best friend was Josephine Chung. I had Indian friends, Russian friends. I went to school in Kingston, I didn't know it at the time I didn't think any of my friends were different for me, but yes we're very diverse on the island.
@brwnish eyes That's false. Africans brought to Jamaica by the Spanish and the English came straight out of Africa. The Amerindians who lived in Jamaica (Xymaica) originally came from South America.
I'm so glad to have found this video on RUclips now I could show all those ignorant people who think they are no white Jamaicans or find it hard to believe they are a proud white Jamaicans
Nissy522drama this is a nice story I’m from Trinidad and in Trinidad we have a lot of different races there too and a lot of Americans I meet think Trinidad is 100% black and I’m like we have Chinese,Indian ,white, Syrian etc as well as black people too that speak with the Island accent.
I understand what you're saying but the tone sounds like there is superiority complex of us being less than if people think they aren't here sigh ☺️ jenna and lester are mixed heritage btw
Jamaica is best mix of ethinicities in the world. Every ethnicity is in my family (and that's very common here). From a Chinese great grandfather (paternal) to an Irish Great great grandmother (maternal) to mi nana who the used to call "white gyal" and my papa Beautiful dark maroon man with piercing hazel eyes. unnu mussi under rock to rahtid....that's just the tip of the ice berg
Its actually Brazil with the best mixtures of ethnicities in the world, with Black ancestry. I would say America would be second in terms of population.
Barry Soetoro (aka) Barrack Husein Obama - was a total and completer FRAUD - if you don't wish to loose your only friend - don't mention that link again.
Lester Holt and the woman newscaster both look black or blackish. Back in Jamaica I didn't see/hear that special Jamaican dialogue really. But then no dark-skinned blacks were featured in visit and the dark blacks have that authentic Jamaican sound like the home chef I watch on RUclips, Jamaican Debs/Debbie. Now SHE SOUNDS. Jamaican with her powerful and warm speech😍
Many happy memories ! i lived in MARYFIELD APT for many yrs. (60 hope rd )before i move to florida ; BOB marley WAS NEXT DOOR. i recognise MR.lewis in mary field apt. i know antonino as a child ; he was a very tall kid but his father was a tall italian man (engineer) , handsome man and i recognise his mother , very nice family .
Gerrome Campbell welcome!! jamaica is a paradise and the amazing people i would love jamaica to prosper , she is close to my heart & love.i would love politicians to work for people and build this nation prosperous. BETTER opportunity for tomorrow ! jamaicans are loving & caring people. very healthy and sports loving strong nation. cheers !
Jamaican are black people. that is true Jamaican. whatever your descendants are and u are born there doesn't make u the original roots of Jamaican. period!!!!!
+Aisha Ali ..Please be quiet with your ignorance.A native Jamaican is anyone born and raised in Jamaica irregardless of race or ethnic background.The original Jamaicans were not even black,but Ameridians from South America.Stop telling Jamaicans of Asian, European,Middle Eastern descent who were born and raised in Jamaica that they are not Jamaican because they do not fit your narrowminded stereotype of what a Jamaican should be or look like.The Jamaican motto is 'Out of one many people' for a good reason
These were the neighbors that Bob complained about. They saw him as nobody because 1.He was a Rastafarian 2. Some light skinned Jamaicans think they're better than other jamaicans. As soon as Bob became famous they all started to love him, hypocrites!
How many races? Jamaica is just like any other African country with white minority. As for Indians and Chinese they are in every African country. Moreover Jamaica is still homogenously black!!!
@@olgawhite6352 - Jamaicans came from several different countries in Africa - and for over 400 years these people who regard themself as Jamaicans - has never made any attempt at forming a society of equals - instead the elites have been encouraged - while the masses have been squeezed and squeezed - Amerika has absolute NO INTEREST in Jamaica or Jamaicans - except s source of CHEAP LABOUR - or to encourage all Middle Class capable Jamaicans to come and live Amerika - It is worth noting that the wife and children of many capable Jamaicans are already - resident in amerika - with amerikan citizenship - while the husband remains in Jamaica - even though he also has amerikan citizenship - This is a form of RAPE - because it deprives the natural of their natural resources,,

Make a visit one love...
Jamaica may not be my favourite country in the world, but I just love going to the beaches in the nice warm sun and the jerk chicken. In fact I was there last week.
Don't go back since its not your favourite. You won't be missed. You could have said something nice but decided to start with a negative. So good riddance
I love Jamaican, my sister dina married a Jamaican and she is Cape Verdian Great mix race. She speaks Jamaican so good, she stop speaking creole Cape Verdian. She cooks Jamaican food . and she have three kids half Jamaican half Cape verdian. When she speaks I can't understand what the hell she speaking.
waggla05 There's a part of TV documentaries called research. It's done before the actual filming starts. It's not just limited to this documentary it's done for all documentaries as standard.
Good Day. You are incorrect regarding us finding the record. Their visit was unannounced and a surprise. Totally unscripted! Maternity ward used to keep those books(that has since changed) and it was a simple matter of searching by date. Regards, Harvey Levers, Nuttall Hospital.
Kiana, no. Just no. In the first place, Spain controlled Jamaica for 150 years, and they were bringing in slaves from Africa for most of that time until they lost control to Britain. Spain NEVER called it Jamaica, so no, the first slaves they had were never "Jamaicans". 2nd, Jamaica comes from the Arawak word Xaymaca, which means land of wood and water. A word Spain never adopted. GB renamed it Jamaica. Slaves brought there by the British weren't considered Jamaican until much later because slaves had no identities. Slaves were initially thought of more as livestock than as humans. One cannot have a nationality when you're not a person and when you have no rights. They were identified by who owned them or which plantation they were assigned to. In history books, you will see reference made to a particular slave as being "Jamaican born", they were not referred to as Jamaicans. Just like the other ethnicities who were sent there to work off debts as indentured servants were never called Jamaican. They were simply Chinese or Indians who were forced to live and work in Jamaica. Their future descendants were Jamaicans.

Don't go back since its not your favourite. You won't be missed. You could have said something nice but decided to start with a negative. So good riddance
Wow!!!!!😲 who knew Lester Holt had jamaican roots??? Not me😁 I've always liked and admired him, now I love him😄

Lester's Mom said, " Now I am home". Jamaica gives that feeling

They probably had the record waiting for her at like 9 months ago. Because trust me there's no way they found that so quickly
waggla05 There's a part of TV documentaries called research. It's done before the actual filming starts. It's not just limited to this documentary it's done for all documentaries as standard.
waggla05 ....serious thing.. Well prepared b4 time.
But don't be surprised, if you have the date and name correct, that the clerk will find it quickly in the book.
Good Day. You are incorrect regarding us finding the record.
Their visit was unannounced and a surprise. Totally unscripted!
Maternity ward used to keep those books(that has since changed) and it was a simple matter of searching by date.

I really wanna visit Jamaica one day ❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿
Listen, I am a born Jamaican I can tell you the true native Jamaicans are the Arawak Indians. Not white, Chinese or Black people. Research it
exactly!
I had no idea. thanks for the lesson guys
Kiana, no. Just no. In the first place, Spain controlled Jamaica for 150 years, and they were bringing in slaves from Africa for most of that time until they lost control to Britain. Spain NEVER called it Jamaica, so no, the first slaves they had were never "Jamaicans".
2nd, Jamaica comes from the Arawak word Xaymaca, which means land of wood and water. A word Spain never adopted. GB renamed it Jamaica. Slaves brought there by the British weren't considered Jamaican until much later because slaves had no identities. Slaves were initially thought of more as livestock than as humans. One cannot have a nationality when you're not a person and when you have no rights.
They were identified by who owned them or which plantation they were assigned to. In history books, you will see reference made to a particular slave as being "Jamaican born", they were not referred to as Jamaicans. Just like the other ethnicities who were sent there to work off debts as indentured servants were never called Jamaican. They were simply Chinese or Indians who were forced to live and work in Jamaica. Their future descendants were Jamaicans.
no shit. just about every country have aboriginals.
