Michael manley was no prophet. His father Norman was decidedly against him becoming party leader. After NW died and he did become party leader, Jamaica was the richest country in the caribbean. he embarked on democratic socialism which included the nationalisation of key industries. jamaicas GDP declined 26%. When he was voted out in 1980 by a landslide Jamaica was the poorest country. Lets not lie about the past.
Leaders LEAD - Michael Manley NEVER had it within him - his RESULTS are plain for everyone to see... the champion of the poor just made the poor poorer... that is why Jamaica is in debt... a can of condense milk was worth 14 cents when he started in power now it is $140... Manley was a deadbeat!
One man failed at 5 marriages; failed at 4 terms in office as PM - spread the garrison mentality that set Jamaica on a declining economic tailspin that she has never got out - the have children suffered.
@chris19001...i am a jamaican of mixed ancestry, born and raised in jamaica and having lived in the US and Northern Europe i can honestly say that i am most accepted for who i am right here in Ja!, no one tries to judge me by my skin colour which i had to constantly explain to people elsewhere, "out of many, one people" Jamaica land we love!!
I'm Karen Elizabeth Nethersole, Esq. My grandfather was The Honourable Noel Newton Nethersole, whose statue stands tall in front of the Bank of Jamaica building as he was Minister of Finance in the years 1955 to 1959. A Rhodes scholar and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Jamaica, The Nethersoles worked in government with the Manley family to build Jamaica... Proud that their accomplishments are celebrated.
chris19001. You should not go to Jamaica if you dont want to be around black people. Jamaica is an island consist of mostly blacks. You problem is that you are plain racist and hateful. Jamaica dont need visitor like you
Jamaica celebrates another birthday, Thurdsay August 6 --47 years. My sincerest greetings to the Jamaican people. The road is rough but get there you will.
If Jamaica was ever brave enough to follow the teachings of this prophet it will be where Singapore is today. Great warrior for the poor and coming societies.
You are absolutely right, Michael Michael was a Champion of Prosperity for Jamaica's poor people but the people lacked his vision and so they now perish. Whenever people lack vision, they perish !
@AllTruth1,, that is so true, Singapore 50 years was nothing but waste land with no infrastructure, look at it today...Jamaica's big mistake was not to follow this leader of vision...
Yeah, Jamaica has made one big mistake after the other. And,Jamaicans continue their self-destruction with their insatiable appetite for all things American, instead of developing industries in JA and trading with other Caribbean countries, African countries, etc. Also, as African conscientious as many Jamaicans claim to be, many Jamaicans should be wearing African fabrics, particularly from Ghana, the ancestral home of most Afro-Jamaicans, instead of American bought Chinese crap.
Yeah, it's sad but how do you reach people who are so blinded by their lust after America which is destroying them?
Why can't Jamaicans strive to build Jamaica, developing homegrown industries, buying locally, trading regionally and unifying to fight against imperialist aggression against them?
@AllTruth1 They are so lost and the worst thing is that the leaders themselves too are blind. How can the blind lead the blind. That is not a good combination for great leadership.
@AllTruth1 I was shocked when I visited Jamaica a few years back and saw how these folks were way more Americanized than myself, an American citizen . This generation of Jamaican seems to copy everything things that they shouldn't from a culture that is facing a melting pot and has no real identity - The American Culture! Being Jamaican it is very important that we maintain our ancestral roots.
As they say, better late than never so, excuse me for overlooking or not realizing until today that you sent a reply comment to me.
It's sad, MANYJAMAICANS ARE LOST; they're in the MAZE OF`"WANNABE" AMERICAN, instead of BEING JAMAICAN, unique people. It's their inability to hold on to our cultural identity as god-fearing, god-loving, proud, freedom-loving people (i.e. Maroons) & hard-working which has turned them into WHORES FOR MATERIAL THINGS.

I think it would be good, if there was more white people in Jamaica. When I went it was mostly black people there. If there is more of a mix, then I'd feel more safe and comfort in a multicultural society.
wow that is sooo racist. and blunt.... y wouldnt u fell face around all black people. why the fuck are u going togo to jamaica... a majority black country and want white ppl there. go to england or some shit..... bout feeling safe!
My goodness. What a strong demonstration of small mindedness. I can almost say with certainty that you were raised by ignorant provincial parents who failed miserably at exposing you to life/culture outside your neighborhood.

Please don't go back to Jamaica and that will make all Jamaicans happy. I would be most gratified you stay away from our shores, we don't want you there, stay in your own country, thank you.

As we think Christmas and traditions, who can forget the likes of the late Michael Manley, Prime Minister of Jamaica. He was not perfect.
May he on this Boxing day wherever that is, engaged in conversations with the "Ciceros" of yesteryear. Michael Rest In Peace! Your legacy lives on!

They all fucked us over. They should all roll over in their graves. My friend they had nothing to offer Jamaica, but poor leadership.
The country was on the brink of total collapse and only thing they could offer was demogoguery.
