How does this sound racist? The music of this small island has tranceded cultural, racial, geographical and religious boundaries. It's embraced by the people from all over the world from the high rises in Tokyo to the mustard fields of Punjab. Its influence is monumental if not immeasurable. How did the people of Jamaica accomplish this with no damn marketing schemes, no global sponsorship and no fat man smoking a big cigar?: Through the power of the Word! It's God's grace.

Music certainly has cultural influences...Thank God. It's what makes it interesting. The Caribbean has many styles from different islands.
Blessings to all, let's reach for a better understanding of each other.

what a great attitude to have to your folk music 'We grow it' .... hilarious ... sweet music too ...
definition of racism: the belief that ones own race is superior to another. This belief is based on the erroneous assumption that physical attributes determine the social behavior and intelligence of a group. Ultimately, the racist believes that the inferiority of others is a basis for inferior social treatment. Racism exists on a personal and institutional level. It is both covert and overt. It is intentional and unintentional.
