Due to the fact that there seem to be so many foreigners who have questions, or issues with some Jamaican they know or are involved with, and who think that there's something about those persons being Jamaican that makes them that way, I'm putting up this Public Service Announcement to help y'all out.
1. No, all Jamaicans don't act like the person you're involved with. Jamaican people have different personalities and are individuals - just like people that live wherever it is you came from.
2. Not all Jamaicans take advantage of people. Some do, just as some people in the USA or Canada, or England, or France take advantage of people.
3. If you are gullible, you will find someone to take advantage of your gullibility. Learn to think and act smart with your life and relationships.
4. Yes, if you feel that your Jamaican "friend" is using you, and not treating you with respect, then for crying out loud, stap deal wid dem nuh? Weh yuh a hem an' haw 'bout eeeh? Yuh clearly know weh a gwaan. So unless yuh waan fi get played, step outa di situation nuh? Gorsh!
5. Yes, come to Jamaica, make friends, have a good time, but please, get to know people before you get deeply mixed up with them. It's just common sense.
Tanks.
