This is what I tell people in Canada that Jamaica is not a people that is tormented by race, we just live and enjoy we life.
I was born in England, but grew up in Jamaica in the 1960s. I don't ever recall being made to feel different because I was white. My friends were a mixture of Blacks, Chinese, Syrian etc., and we never gave it a second thought.
And I love you too...lol
Yeah if you grow up with other expats going to international schools you won't feel much of a foreigner.
@@jorgepalacio6910 I didn't go to an international school. I went to Jamaica College and, as a white kid, I was very much in the minority. Not sure what your point is.
@@GrahamPhotog oh ok sorry.
I was just saying, me as a Mexican who grew up in the Emirates, being surrounded by other expats made me not feel much like a foreigner.
Sorry if you did feel like one idk, sorry for assuming.
I went to ICHS there were Jamaicans from every walk of life there
I am a french born from a Jamaican - Scottish mum & Brazilian - Chinese dad. In France I felt quite alienated for being 'different' and rejected based on racial prejudices. When my parents decided to leave Europe for Jamaica I felt anxious. But upon arrival I realised how welcoming Jamaicans are. Our motto
" Out of many , one people" speaks volumes. All of a sudden, I felt at ' home'. The warm hospitality , the food and the hilarious sense of humour of the Jamaican people made me fall in love with this beautiful island. I now live in the UK and whenever I hear someone talking patois or about Jamaica my heart skip a beat of joy.
I love this @Martine Jamaica is "home" ...so true! Thanks for tuning in here 🇯🇲 ❤️
Nice, I'm glad you had that different positive experience in Jamaica
Blessings i felt every word said beautiful
😊I know exactly what you mean when you speak about hearing the Jamaican language being spoken abroad. I also do get that feeling also , you are not alone 😊
That is what i love about our country, we don't dislike ppl for their colour. ❤🇯🇲
I love the way you talk sound like a real Jamaican nuff love.
I'm from St.Thomas grew up with French'es and they're some of my best friends to this day. We never saw color until we came to the United States.
To the best of my knowledge, they're not white people, that is, if you mean the people of French Town, STT USVI.
I love you for telling the truth i wish to god one day that Jamaica could come back to ways life used to be when was growing up,and stop killing each other for what i can’t really understand,one love always,
Will you all stop saying Jamaicans are killing each other. Really! Crime in Jamaica is relative to association and what people are involved in. There are places in Jamaica where people still sleep with their doors open. What the media covers is for sensationalism. The whole island is not killing each other.
@@eileenwatt8283 rubbish!!!.. Seems like u have ur head stuck in the sand!!! Jamaica averages 25 murders a week (1300 murders a year) and you still think Jamaica hasn't a problem... One feelgood story doesn't out weigh the serious serious problem Jamaica has relating to crime
@@eileenwatt8283 - thank you! I grew up there when I was younger & in the summertime my dad would have all the windows & doors open while we slept & he was still doing so until around 2000 when he passed.
There are some communities where they have never experienced crime. The people who keep saying everyone’s killing each other have a vested interest in Jamaicans being fearful & staying in their countries to do backbreaking work instead of taking new skills etc back to Jamaica & building it up! I
By now you don't know the tactic of "divide and conquer"--Guns from America etc. their secret agents are creating violence. The same happening in places like Nigeria...and other "strong" "black" countries. Then they go on their news and call us--Criminals.
I acknowledge there is a crime problem, one particular incident caused me and my family to leave, I pray for a day when Jamaica can find a way to get back to the warmth and love that is at the core of who they are!
You have a naturally sweet, calming voice. It comes directly from the warmth of your heart. Blessings to you Ms. Country.
This made me smile. What a sweet thing to say. Thank you!!
Yes her voice is calm. She speaks well of Jamaica.
You are truly a Jamaican that's how we are. Buff love
Oh yes she does. She kinda sounds like Barbara Gloudon to me 🤷🏾♂️
@@jayrome8764 She sounds like me as well. My pet name is Barbara. Not Alias. She also reminded me of a specific girl that we attended MAHS boarding school together. The girl's toys were the dictionary and encyclopedias. LORD help us!
My grandfather wife was English they lived in JA fo15 years before he died and she went every where by herself and never been robed or experienced racism
I lived in Jamaica for many years…the people are truly warm, full of laughter and very kind and will share what they have no matter how little. Living in UK now for many years and it is truly a culture shock. Thanks for sharing your stories.
Cultural shock, hahaha, Once you leave the African Heritage Union Lands. Every thing else is a shock.. My mate went to Babylon and the rest speak for themselves.
I dig that Sister accent.. Plenty yam and banana , Saltfish & Ackee.
Honestly America and some of her Allies breeds and thrive on racism. The Brits; Scots; French; Dutch; Chinese; Indians and so much more were so understanding. Every group holds on to some cultural ID’s..but when we come together’Wi ah one big loud mouth jokefying people. We make jokes at those who’s trying to be different..And we all Laff at ourselves.. Me know some German extraction (Mixed) people who was a part of my family. Bad teeth,blue eyes, golden curly hair from Ackers hall . Chat bad, loved touched Pork. They were Tanner’s, farmers,coffee ,bananas growers, goat herders,Donkey,Mule owners. My Grandpa had horses I was told…So all ah wi grew up nyaming jackfruits, cook a Bush and nyam off ah Banana and coco leaf.. Cho ! ah wha do unno wid dis dam racists stuff?..!!!
Jamaica was Colonized by so many different Peoples, and we all have our navel strings buried there under the coconut or Palm Tree. Mi nuh kno bout di Bun-naw Tree.. So none ah we owns it exclusively by Color or Race. So nuff ah we washed up pon shores.
Stop dis dam foolish chatting and Thank God for this likkle melting pot called Jamaica..Let’s go out and teach the World about ‘one heart, one Love’ mon.!!!! JAH JAH is Love and Everlasting.. Nuff Love everybody, get Vaccinated, drink some Bush tea and stay healthy.. Tony Grants Clan from Perry and Redwood…St. Catherine..
@@lloydgrant6086 I love that loud mouth jokefying people..🤣🤣
@@lloydgrant6086 my mum grew up in St Catherine in the late 30s. She always speaks of Old Works school. I wonder if you've heard of it? She is in her late 80s now sadly with dementia.
That’s the way I used to it,I wish God will pour out his spirit up on Jamaica again 🙏🏾🙏🏾
True description of us Jamaicans. It's very nice to hear this from a white person because it is not many times we are spoken of like this. Thank you my white Sister for saying it as it is. Jamaica and Jamaican nice for real😊❤
Love this video! My grandfather was irish; my grandmother was from the Ivory Coast. My grandparents had seventeen kids. We never looked at colour. When I first came to America, I was shocked to learn about racism. I recall my sister and I saying to each other: grandfather was white, was he? We honestly thought we were living in a nightmare when we saw the division in America. I love all people, and no matter what is going on in America, I will still hold onto my beautiful culture. I love my Jamaican culture, and it makes me what I am today. I will remain who I am, which is not to judge anyone by their colour nor their ethnicity. Love can conquer the world. What a waste of time to pour one's energy into hatred. Life is too short.
I LOVE this comment! YES! This is exactly how I see it as well. Thank you for sharing :)
Me too
Me too. I totally agree with you. Left Jamaica when I was 11. Lived in the states visited over the years. I love my country, my people, and my culture. We are a kind, loving and proud people. No matter what, my views, and feeling will be the same. We are a blessed little country. God bless the ❤💛💚❤💛💚My mom did her DNA, Nigerian/Irish etc. Miih'proud'a'miih'Island'.

@@CountryWhiteJamaican Blessings my friend. Great comment. You speak the truth. That is the Jamaica I know. After leaving at the age of 11, I still stay true to my culture. Nothing like it. I take the good with the bad. Not giving up at all. Certain little things need to sort out, but we hope those in charge can put country first and get things in order and help the people. One love. ❤💛💚❤💛💚👍👍👍👍
Goodness I feel as if I'm reading my own personal experience of "Coming to America" back in the late 60's at the tender naive age of 7 and living New York, major odd experience was the color of my reddish brown sometimes frizzy curly hair that almost matched my complexion and having my 7 year old classmates if I dyed my hair 🙂, and why my brother's eyes were green and mine brown, sometimes I wondered about that myself 🤔. But the real cultural shock was moving to Miami Beach in the 70's our mixed Jamaican heritage was apparently too much for most to handle and it was there we learned the hard truth of "race assignment" and cultural categorization for instance one of my Junior High School teachers asked me in front of the entire class "where are you from?"... "Jamaica"..."Ah, now I understand why you're different, so smart" let's just say that didn't make me very popular with most who already didn't like me. My school was in a very well to do mostly Jewish upper class neighborhood and they bused in kids from the inner city and then there were at least 5of us from Jamaica, with two of us being siblings, my brother being popular, because he was a boy, and me well, the inner city girls just never gave me a chance for them to get to know me, I was a walking target of derogatory slurs, "zebra, oreo" just to name a couple...oddly, most of my friends were Jewish and always came to my defense and were protective of me, but it should never have been like that...I held my head even higher and wore my culture my proudly...and yes it was tend I learned my paternal grandfather was white and my grandmother was mixed...my maternal grandfather was mixed and grandmother was biracial (Indian and Scottish)....It was then I was truly "Out of Many One People" and became "ethnocentric" while in Junior High School...thanks for the experience. I wish others could learn from us. I pray one today, our beautiful island will be rid o its troubles where it exists and heal and be healed and restored in those areas...for there truly is no place on this planet like Jamaica...God Bless. Thank you.
My Grandfather was white and I did not really realized he was white until I moved to the States.
Me too
Same 😂
Lies!
Blessup arrrrl Jamaicans around the world "OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE"
Lady yuh mek mi laugh and laugh, detect a cross between England and Jamaican accent, that's lovely since am Jamaican living in England plus u have such a charming voice make your point in a calming absolutely brilliant
Yes no racism at all.I went to school white indian black and Chinese kids.We lovingly called them by their race as little kids.With no malice or ill intent The white kids were called whitie the indians were called coolie boy or coolie girl the chinese were called China'man or china girl and if a black kid was very dark we would call them blackie .Kids were just been kids.There was no hate.This was in the 60ties and 70ties when I was a school girl.
Exactly! I love this, thanks for sharing :)
It's just the way it's done in the Caribbean where there are all ethnic groups born there
Leonie Taylor: exactly so. It was a normal thing to go to school with Chinese, Indians, Syrians, whites . Loved them all. Class system then. Just live decent & respectful.
People getting married, once your life was respectable, they inviting Yu.... don't matter the color of your skin.
U are a true jamaican love ur channel
You are right ... nick names like "blacka", "reds", "browning", "chinie", ... "midnight", "red 'kin bwoy", "coolie bwoy", etc, said as easily as "Tom". We are a people; a true people. Common stories, common folklore, common way-of-life, common challeges and trying times. My family had a farm as well in Bog Walk St.Catherine ...
Where was your family's farm?
I love us too. All the every best.
Yessss, love this! Our farm was in St. Ann
StacyDaCosta, hi yes those names, I have been called REDMAN, in the country, Born in CROSS ROADS, but spent my life in 2 boarding schools, but spent lots of holidays in BAMBOO, ST Ann, , on a dairy farm there, but some locals called different names, I was NEVER RACIAL, until living in USA, 1 black’ friend’ cured me of being non racial, 🇬🇧🇯🇲🇺🇸
It's Beautiful to hear how she convey the Jamaican culture. I'm a Jamaican, who migrate as a young soldier to America. I love and respect my roots. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate your transparency.
Blessings love that
What a lovely 💘 video. As a "Black American" born and raised in Washington, D.C., Jamaica 🇯🇲 feels more like "home" to me. I am back n forth to JA. When I land, the "smell" of the island is intoxicating. I drive all bout, and find Jamaicans to be extremely helpful in crisis 🙃. Yes, JA is a "rose with thorns," but I'm in love with Jamaica 🇯🇲. The pride I feel when I see how many young people "run da place." Big UP the youth of Jamaica 🇯🇲 🙌. Nuff ah them really try and it's noted. This video brought warmth 🔥 to my heart. ONE!
Love love love your comment. Thanks for sharing Makeda :)
Thank you for those beautiful comments leading me back to my childhood days on Bodles farm in St Catherine.It was a rich experience of the rich and poor the educated and un educated,white and black living in the same community as one.That was true love and genuine people helping one another to achieve. Racism is born out of fear that the once oppressed will enjoy a better life than the oppressors so they sow seeds of fear and lies leading to insecurities and violence.
Out of many one people that's Jamaica and don't change it,keep it alive.Live it daily.
Love hearing about your wonderful experiences Makeda, you are an honorary JAmerican😉...Out of Many One People...this has multiple meanings...🌻
@@debracowan3394 Yes, I'm sitting in the "best" Parish, right now. Portland is the "garden of Eden" to me. I just can't stay away from Jamaica. ONE! 🤗

Ive seen and heard white Jamaican men but this is my first time seeing a white Jamaican woman. Big up
Ah true?? 😃 sweet. Thank you 😊
I’ve had several punctures this year and each time Jamaican people stop to help same way. I love Jamaica too. Nice video.
The nickname one is so true. Funny stuff indeed
Spoken like a true Jamaican Country girl. I could listen all day about your journey as a child it brought back so many memories of when we use to go visit my Grand parents on the farm. The neighbors were white and we the kids played all the time. We never knew nothing bout no race etc. We all loved each other up to this day. My first encounter of racism was when I first visited the states. And as you said we all went by alias names lol nobody called anyone by their correst name. Wish Jamaica could go back to those days where we genuine loved each other.
Lovely memories :)
Hear you talking about our country warm my heart because its was all about helping each other and show love .we don't look at color we are one .Jamaican
Glad me buck-up on ur channel, blessings....oh yes Jamaica out of many one ppl ❤️🇯🇲
You are a real Jamaican… cerfiticket😂😂… only a true Jamaican can identify!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! I've never been there,sounds like a destination!
@@labauer5314 truss mih! Beautiful country ❤
😄😄😄
Yeahh.. that pretty much certifies her Jamaicaness...and even the "name stories"
Key phrases... knowledge of Jamaican foods... awesome🤣
Jamaica is my heart beat and people respect and look out for others in their communities. My childhood experiences growing up in Jamaica is memorable, fun, family oriented & community oriented. Man, I had a rich life even thought money was scarce. Now I reminisce with my senior friends, siblings , nieces & nephews. All those experiences made strong, humble & giving.
Beautiful and well said! This is what life is really about!
You are a real 🇯🇲 out a many we a one.
Thank you Sista, we don't know I bought racism we love and move and live with everybody the same way.
She ain't lying. For real. 🇯🇲 Jamaicans are funny and we do go by what we call "pet names " or alias. I say it all the time. No racism is in my country, we are all one out many one people. Blessings sis. Truthfully spoken words.
The entire world - and especially USA - can really learn a thing or two from Jamaica. Similar history yet such a different outcome ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love
The fact that the only thing every single Jamaican online talks about is racism make me extremely suspicious of the claim that there is no racism in Jamaica.
@sananton2821 that's because they leave Jamaica and experience it elsewhere and so are aware of the difference. Just a thought. Also no where is 100% free of the evil that people do.
Thank you! It is so good to hear a real Jamaican! Big yu up man!!
Oh my... I could listen to you all day long.
You took me back to the good old days.
Oh how I wish that those days could return that our children could see that Jamaica land we love was a lovely back then 😢💔
I enjoy your talk. You're so natural and a real Jamaican. Love it.
Tru Yuh A Talk . Despite Any Mess We Still Sooo Blessed ! Island 🏝️ Love 💗
I really like how you articulated your truth about your experience growing up in Jamaica. I always maintained that racism does not exist in Jamaica. It was only when I migrated to the United States that I learned about racism. So I was happy to hear it from a white Jamaican’s perspective. Blessed love.
💠Glad you experience growing up on a farm. I spent my summers on my grandparents farm in Westmoreland. It’s just like you said it. Everyday was an adventure💠
It's pure joy listening to you share your heart-felt experience growing up as a white Jamaican lady in Jamaica. You are a treasure !
Wow, thank you
I don’t know you but I love you already,real woman she have a lots of roots, blessed
You remind me of my late mother who after living most of her adult life in Jamaica found it hard to reintegration to her birth place, the UK. She was a true Jamaican, who was so comfortable I swear she forgot she was white, that's how comfortable she felt the love and didn't think twice to pop a rass or two as necessary. Bless you. 😁
LOl this had me buss a laugh
I wish Jamaica could go back to those days.
When you could walk the street and not worry about being shot or robbed.
Ur so right..i also grow up in JA amongst few White people & the color of our skin didn't mean anything other than just that..a color..till i move to another country skin color have a whole other meaning ..love ur stories..bless up sister..🙏..one Love ❣️
Every word that you spoke is true. You had my eyes tearing up a little. I always wonder what if. Everyone through out the world who are JAMAICANS and who have JAMAICAN roots. Return to Jamaica and see if we could rekindle that JAMAICAN spirit we had back then. Looking forward for more content from you. Nuff nuff love to you.
This is such a beautiful comment Nuff love and respect!! Thank you
Start such a group; I'll join.
Love you my Jamaican white sister
Told some one in Switzerland that I never experience racism in Jamaica again any nation. They couldn’t under real that was. Jamaica is just a different culture
I really appreciate it that you loved our culture ma’am
Your story very refreshing. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ah true man 🇯🇲
That's the Jamaica I grew up in 🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲
Yes. Came to the USA 1990, I was surprise when I saw the race/ethnicity on paperwork. They even call my doctor "Chinese Jamaican". In Jamaica , you're just a Jamaican.
Sounds like you had an amazing childhood
Ur a lovely representation of our beautiful country! Much Luv, U've definitely got a new Subscriber & look 4ward 2 more! From a fellow Canadian Yardie, Respect, Sista!
Thank you so much!!
I told lots of people here in America that I have never face racism growing up in Jamaica. Ancestors are made up of Welch, German, Indian and African. Now I live in the US married to a white woman she seen no color bless up and stay strong 💪
Lmao but you surely do.
Serious ting dat Mi Bredda.
We don't have racism in Jamaica, we have classism
@@olavienjohnson6709
That's a fact however, that can change with one's circumstance. I personally experienced that after I became a member of the Diaspora.
@V Rob I think it depends on what people truly mean when they say they don't see colour because it might not mean the same thing for everyone. ✌🏾
You were raised just like any jamaucan child. Same way i used to do when i was growing and when i refleck back those were the best life.👍
Honestly,as black Jamaican I never experience racism until I arrived in Florida.
Exactly!!
I'm new over here 🤣🤣🤣 you talking 100% truth I love my country.
What you say is so right. Colour doesn’t matter. Going to live in Jamaica after growing up in another country, my way of speaking was so different. I was always an outsider. People were kind but wary because communication does matter.
I too was educated at the Servite Convent in Browns Town . Big up lady.
Thanks for keeping 💯 it real
I´ve been to Jamaica twice and i love it to! I made the decission to live there at 2026, cause i love the Jamaican people ❤🙏

Nice to hear your story. We need more of this LOVE N CARING NOW MORE THAN EVER. BLESSINGS.

You are so welcome
I totally agree with you. I was lucky enough to live 25 years in Jamaica and I have never experienced racism. Jamaican people are the best. Miss home bad😪. We have a RUclips channel as well, it's called jamaican experience. One love from Germany. 😘

I just love your honesty , #str8 🇯🇲 say no to #Racism #lovingpeople.
I Love your Video.Thanks for sharing, because some foreigners don't believe Jamaica have other race of people living there from birth and so forth. So it's good to see your Story being told. Nuff Respect.
I love to listen to these stories. I’m 59 and when I was growing up near harbor view, my mom worked for Chinese and white folks . I never even know the word racism. The treated my mom with loving kindness and all the kids who were teenagers and older called my mom who is black by the way ‘’ mom ‘’. The last family she worked for was the Quarries that the school was named after because there son Donald Quarry was a famous athlete. I only found out about racism when I moved to America. I pray Jamaica would go back to the way it used to be, like this lady experienced. You never needed a comedy club cos Jamaica has some of the funniest people and the best food if you ask me . I often want to visit but my top reason is I’m scared I may not make it back home. The violence is too much , and yes I know there is violence everywhere but as a Jamaican it is dangerous, I must say . I remember going to the river to wash clothes and bathe and we would catch janga and cook season rice . OH THOSE WERE THE GOOD DAYS .At least I feel blessed to have those memories to hold on to. I don’t love what my birth place has become 😭🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️🙏🏿
WOW your mom worked for Donald Quarrie's parents? cool! Before Bolt we always used to say you run like Quarrie - I LOVE Jamaican history and all these stories. I don't know if my viewers realize how much their stories inspire me to keep going. Thank you
Enjoyed the video. Always tell my son, in Jamaica everyone has a nickname. Teeth, because is pure teeth you see and dem big😁. Spermhead because him head and body shape like a sperm. Merrylegs, because him was a track star and could run. Maaga tread rice, because she is skinny like thread and white like rice. Battyface, because his face was flat with fat cheeks and a cleft chin. I could go on and on. And the funny thing is that you call them by the name and they answer🤣🤣
I knowwww, it is great and it just shows the wonderful sense of humour of our people. Also the good nature.
You and Real Yaadie Nena should link up. It would be interesting to hear about the differences and similarities in your experiences, given your difference in both your ages.
Just subscribed to your channel. I hope many people around the world get to watch this and be able to educate themselves about the ethnic, cultural and racial diversity of Jamaica. I was born and Jamaica and moved here to the USA in my 20s. On many occasions, I have to explain to Americans about the culture and diversity and the concept of "Out of Many, One People".
Jamerican View don't stop explaining about our culture, they can learn a lot from us. This little dot on the map of the world 🌎 . After all we were the guest to do something about apartheid in South Africa!
Fi real!! Jamaica 🇯🇲 is exactly what you are saying we are full of fun and laughter 🇯🇲🇯🇲😄😄😄😄 just by you describing your childhood days growing up in Jamaica 🇯🇲 it puts a smile on my face.

I am so happy to hear some positive things about Jamaica this morning. I'm always hearing about the killing and the raping. So it is a fresh air of hearing of something positive this morning. Yes it is a beautiful country where racism doesn't exist and that is the beauty of our beautiful little Island. Out of many one people, that's who we are.
I love Jamaica came twice best time of my life much respect beautiful people will come again
One love 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤
It is refreshing to see this. She speaks patois! I am fascinated, but not so surprised. I am remember meeting a white Jamaican who used to call a cruise line I worked for and she was lilly white with beautiful blue eyes and she opened her mouth I was floored. This was in the 80s in Manhattan where I worked in New York and now this seems more. Back in the 70s in Manchester, that is where there was a mixture of whites and blacks that had blue eyes. It was the most fascinating thing when I was ten at the time and I never forgot. I am glad you are sharing with us.
Happy to hear that you did not face any racism while living in Jamaica and that's the way it's supposed to be everywhere!!
People should be free to live where they want to live without any discrimination or racism. Love you story❤
Puhleez….we Jamaicans lovd to hide being that statement…fool weself dat we have classism n not racism…in 2023 everybody a claim love fi ‘below clock tower’…get real….
why would she experience racism? she's white.
Love the content; there's enough negative media surrounding the country. Thank you for reminding young Jamaicans of a simpler, kinder time
I think you are God bless, thats why your heart ❤ is so pure (a person who believe in God, their heart is always and will be always pure) !!!!
Thanks for your truthfulness and for speaking highly about our Country, (you also got our warmth)

#Country White Girl 💝💝 listening to your story warms my heart. Happy you shared it with the world. This is the Jamaica I was born in 60 years ago and this is the Jamaica I know. We never had racial problems despite our history as we all accepted that we are all here and are one people. Amazing that you still have your accent. It will never leave you. That is the mark that says you are completely Jamaican. Thank you for this.Love n Light my sister 💝🙏🏿
Thank you so much! Totally agree re the Jamaica we were raised in. 💯💥
Am happy u love jam best place in the world
out of many, one people... thanks for telling the truth
Growing up sweet, when yuh look back. The best days ever. 80ties & 90ties for me. xox
Jackfruit is one of my favorite too
True. I left in 1965 and we really thought out of many one people. Only learned about racism when I came to England.
There are people who derive pleasure by ferreting out “racism” where there’s none.
Our of many one People
Pray we never move away from that...May the heavenly Father continue to bless our little/big island.
I love what she had to say, BUT I'm in my 60s now and not as nostaligic about growing up in Jamaica. I left Jamaica when I was 13 years old, but then colorism was front and center as part of Jamaican life, i.e., the lighter you are or mixed the more privilege you had. The irony of it all, when I arrived in American, regardless of your color and socioeconomic status, you were referred to as Jamaican -- no defrentiation. Things changed significantly with Michael Manley, and when he married Beverly. I remember going back to Jamaica and started seeing dark skin Jamaican in the Bank at the Front desk in hotels and in the shops. He changed the culture -- it shifted! We have self-actualized to where we see ourselves as the motto "out of many one people."
The presenter may well be a nice woman, but there are things that black people face she will never have to. She and her kind are a protected species in Jamaica. There is a legacy of a protective force field that surrounds them, enabling them to walk in places that black people fear to.
She has the right kind of glasses for the video...............
As an American living in Portland in the late Seventies, I remember that song “Kisilo” I think by Stanley and the Turbines. We thought it was so racist, but everyone else was just laughing. It was such a catchy tune. It could have never got air-play in the States.
Kisilo - Naga man in my Kisilo. As a child I never knew what it meant - also "Penny reel" in the 60’s. I never knew what it meant till about 2012 I listened it on RUclips.
What a wonderful lady, so softly spoken and sweet to the core ❤ when she said “birth surfitikit” I knew she was a Jamaican through and through 😂 nobody but a deep fried Jamaican pronounces “Certificate” like that. If I heard her on the phone I would swear that was my mum or my Auntie Lurlene 🤣
You are too sweet. Thank you for your kind words.
@@CountryWhiteJamaican You’re very welcome madam. I’m British born and bred 1st gen from Windrush generation Jamaicans and It’s so nice to hear an ex-pat Jamaican speak well of the country from a very interesting life experience, perspective and with excellent story telling instinct. I’ve heard many ex-pat Jamaicans speak lovingly of the country in person, but not that like that with a life story on social media. Maybe it’s just me …and mi need fi open up mi eye and wash out mi ears when mi look up Jamaican on YT 😂
