WTF YOU CALL THIS PART 1/2 IF YOU DONT HAVE A PART 2. VERY DISSEPOINTING ABOUT SUCH A FOOL ACTION.

[afertyus1000]

@germarion it's a shame you have a big chip on your shoulder but only you can overcome it, get some psychological counselling and maybe in ten years you will have advanced a little?

[bighousetube]

Where is part 2??

[nattytorrezao]

cyan't mek music like a blackman!

[shattabadman]

cyan do nuttin like a blackman

[afertyus1000]

@nattytorrezao why jamaican though? it is not a race but a country,whites were there b4 blacks and indians b4 them

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 Jamaica is to Jamaican as is American to american Jamaica not just black Jamaican mixture of different culture and ethnic groups blend to gather Arawak and tainos Indians were there b4 Christopher Columbus went there.the British bring the maroon slave to Jamaica in 18 century after they overthrow the Spanish who move there b4 them...

[afertyus1000]

@germarion read my first statement? i was answering nattytorrezao b4 you piped in of course it is a mix like any other country in the world and has had musical/cultural influences like any other so it is not really anyones 'country'

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 the slave would not stand the hard labor and they fought off the British and ran away. in the late 18 cntry different ethnic group of people came to Jamaica during the British and after them. People of African descent predominate however Europeans and such Middle Eastern and Asian groups as Lebanese, Syrians, Chinese, and Indians, make up the country..some went there to work some was trick by the British and some move there to live.

[afertyus1000]

@germarion yea i know but i thought william wilberforce in uk abolished slavery and eventually had the slaves released? they could'nt just run away and didn't have the weapons to fight

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 yes they did i that's why they were called the runaway slaves i know my history.. try and do some research b4 u start assuming things. allot of people try to be stereotypical about Jamaican when they really don't know the history of that country.

[afertyus1000]

@germarion yes i have and i know my history they couldn't just run away they would be killed they were released by the spanish monk and after the english slavery was slowly abolished across the carribean and south of north america

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 in the 1807,19, the British imported Indian and Chinese workers as indentured servants to supplement the labour pool. Descendants of indentured servants of Indian and Chinese origin continue to reside in Jamaica today.

[afertyus1000]

@germarion they ran away after the spainsh were defeated by the brithish but although the british fought them but some remained neutral,that must be why the jamaicans are lighter skinned than the africans because of the mixing

[afertyus1000]

@germarion yea i know that but most of the marrons were shipped to nova scotia in canada and they are a separate community to this day from normal jamaicans,you can say they are the nearest to true jamaicans as they mixed with the taino and arawak indians

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 well i understand what u are saying but the moral of the story is that not allot of people know the truth about Jamaica even after all that has been done there is not one drop of racism in Jamaica people no segregation yes there are violence yes there are lot of negativity and stereotype yes there is poverty and corruption but there is also richness and happiness u'll find people of all kind all living as one

[afertyus1000]

@germarion Ok maybe not in jamaica but i had a lot of jamaican second generation friends in the uk and a lot were racist toward nigerians ghanaians and generally africans which i didn't understand?

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 well that's Ur opinion i am Jamaican and i'm telling u not asking u those Jamaican u know may have Jamaican heritage might but is not true Jamaican or they may when people grow up in a different country they tend to adopt to the levity of the people around them.

[afertyus1000]

@germarion no i agree i been to jamaica many times and i think the people there are lovely just in uk a lot have bad attitude

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 well why would u make such statement b4?

[afertyus1000]

@germarion are violence? are a lot of negativity? in these abstractions use the singular 'is' of the verb 'to be' your grammar needs overhauling it seems you are unintelligent [uneducated]

[afertyus1000]

@germarion yea thats what i said its fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 you are talking rubbish!! u on the other side of the world and trying to state fact of something u know not about u never been to the country b4 but u are so convinced that u know all about the history of the country. wow!!!!

[afertyus1000]

@germarion you are talking rubbish and what statement? i stated a FACT i have been to the country so why are you assuming otherwise? also you don't know the FULL history nobody does so stop trying to be clever and looking at wiki for your info anyone can do that

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 FYI i have a Jamaican history book I studied i have a A+ in Jamaican history so please don't be conniving i do go on wiki to read when i feel and not every thing on there is accurate in case u didn't know it was written by people like u . 

[afertyus1000]

@germarion ooh you have a book! stop talking out your ass i see you say you are from the states? i doubt it but the states don't like jamaicans much.due to the high crime caused

they only go there on holidays armed guards on beach and waiters paid $12 a week!! ripped off by fat yanks,kingston looks like a drug dealers hovel shame the country is beautiful but ruined

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. 4 a moment there i thought i was talking to someone with intelligence u sound illiterate. yes i read books and i think u should do the same. i want u to tell me where in this world u wont find violence and crime? i was born in Jamaica i went to school there but now live in the us. i don't know where u get Ur info from but there is no job that pays 12 $ a week and thats a fact any body tell u that is a liar.

[afertyus1000]

@germarion dickhead sweet enough for you?

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 u obviously never been to Jamaica what u see on TV most of the time nothing but typical stereotype. its so amazing how u are going to speak for over 300 million people why don't u speak for Ur self.i really could careless what u think . I would take u to some places in Jamaica that would make u don't want to go back home. some of u acting like ur country is line with perfection and there is no such thing as hard life! but i want u to wake up to reality i'v seen worst elsewhere.

[afertyus1000]

@germarion i do i went to trelawney and spoke to them the waiters earn $12 weekly i also lived in usa and know what it's like there,i don't care what you think as you seem uneducated in your syntax i got a great life and home so if you liked it that much why are you in u.s.?

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 u are talking about uneducated u are not very intelligent Ur self i'm absolutely positive that i'm smarter than u judging by the way u make Ur statement "I DO WENT" what is that? there is no contest don't be blindfold by Ur ignorance no one in Jamaica get 12$ fact! they were lying to u so that u'll be sorry 4 them and give them big tip don't worry about me and where i love i love it here too and i can live any where in the world i want if u hate Jamaica so much why u on here?

[germarion]

@afertyus1000 Often it does seem a pity that some people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. i have a great life too a home here and a home there. I am free of all prejudices. I love everyone equally. oh i thought u said that u live in the UK now Ur an american? So many assume. So little know.

[afertyus1000]

@germarion what is 'UR'? if you look at my channel i am from british virgin islands oh i forgot you are a little dense! i have no prejudices! where are they in my correspondence? you have a chip on your shoulder i think! i too have a home in Manhattan beach california btw there you go again making assumptions, i don't hate Jamaica i am saying this music isn't necessarily Jamaican it has African roots and i was making a comment so get over it! and stop wasting my time with your feeble replies
