Re: [F] IM REALLY JAMAICAN

[gullf1sk]

I dont think people mean anything by it, its just that most of the people ive seen in media and on film etc that are Jamaican, happen to be black.

[DaBigSun]

Ethnic groups in Jamaica: 76.3% African descent, 15.1% Afro-European, 3.4% East Indian and Afro-East Indian, 3.2% Caucasian, 1.2% Chinese and Afro-Chinese and 0.8% Other.

[naturalja1]

I'm black Jamaican as well, I live in the UK and I have been told by Non Jamaicans and Jamaicans that I do not look like a Jamaican. My immediate response to them is 'what do you expect a Jamaican to look like and do you enjoy being ignorant'.

[ericjungleboy]

Here's one more thing all Jamaicans have in common: Having strong opinions. I don't think I've ever met a Jamaican that would sit quietly by the side during a debate and say nothing.

[79rapture]

you make valid point . i am a white american i had dreads listen to bands like sugar minot, sizzla, yami bolo, israel vibration, buju, so of course i have to be jamaican lol. people found it really hard to understand that you don't have to be jamaican to listen to dancehall and roots rock. dreads i think are more of statement of the music not the nation itself, just like not every jaican is a rasta, not all rastas are jamaican. just like aswad a great reggae band is an english band.

kinda sad to see a woman speak her mind regarding stereotyping, only to be told of her looks. shame on you bastards. no, i'm not gay & yes, she IS beautiful, but seriously... stay on topic.

all i gotta say is... Collie Buddz is a good example of a white Jamaican.

[Craqerzrus]

@breakbomb1 kinda sad how youre tryna talk sh to other people and then say Collie is from Jamaica when he was actually born in New Orleans...lmao and he never lived in Jamaica he grew up in Bermuda.

[breakbomb1]

@Craqerzrus so you proving me wrong about Collie has something to do with my other (very valid) point, how again? and get your shit straight, if i wanted to "talk shit" to other people, i'd be talkin, not "tryin". yes, i've also read collie's wiki page (you're not the only one with internet access), but he's about as close to a "white jamaican" as i can think of. disagree? offer a better example!

[cirusMEDIA]

You sound like ah Trini to me!!!!!!!!

[inneruniverse17]

I'm Jamaican as well. I agree. There are far too many stereotypes about Jamaicans; damn the American media.

[MikeCityTv]

[minishotta92]

@hamstrings52 Ummm honey its called being versatile. Thats what it is. When in Rome do as the romans do. If someone came to Jamaica speaking Spanish and saying that he was not changing the way he speaks because it would be embarrassing his country, we would all call him an idiot. If i went around speaking patois here, no one would understand me and there would be no point. So stop being ignorant. And we learn ENGLISH in Jamaica so that is what i speak.

[hamstrings52]

@minishotta92 ya mi a seh nuh a yawd man yuh a chat tuh na badda chat english to mi a wha do yuh? yuh mad? when yuh a chat to mi a patios yuh affi speak becaw mi na nuh yankee bwoy an a Jamaica our English a Standad Jamaica English not sum bullshit yankee English top chat like yankee yuh na nuh yankee yuh na ban an grow a foreighn

[minishotta92]

@hamstrings52 and thats what i speak, ENGLISH u need to learn some and stop making Jamaicans look ignorant like we can't speak proper english, because EDUCATED Jamaicans speak both, i chose to speak english because i was speaking to Americans. What do i look like talking patois to them when i'm trying to prove a point? They wouldnt get it.

[tanyatmr]

@minishotta92 I know exactly what you are talking about there is a time and place for everything. Speaking properly doesn't make you less of a Jamaican if I wanted to converse with a non-Jamaican I wouldn't speak patois, how the hell would I get my point across................especial­ly if I was making a 911 call!!

[minishotta92]

@tanyatmr thank you! that idiot is just bored

[hamstrings52]

[Dcavolli]

@minishotta92 Ignore him.

My accent changes as well depending on my mood and a whole leap of other things. I live in a total of 4 countries and your accent will change and pick up different sounds from the habitats you have lived in.

When someone has a different accent i think its great, it make a better multicultural siceity and what not.

You got a lovelt face and voice... Just get a better camera, learn some editing skills and have a god at making vids.

As jamaicans say "One love"
