Re: Why Are Jamaicans Racist Towards Black People And African Culture?

That is true 1st...like I mentioned at the end, you can't paint everyone with the same brush. I've ecountered alot of it...on varying degrees. I've also found alot of people that arn't. I didn't encounter it really in Jamaica.

But I see it alot here in Calgary. I think it might be because their is ALOT of problems between the Caribbeans and the Africans here. They go to different parties...and when the Africans show up at Caribbean parties...alot of the Caribbeans leave!! It might also be because being Jamaican is in fashion here right now. Alot of Jamaicans get annoyed when Africans claim to be Jamaican and know nothing about the culture. One African guy informed me he was from "Kingstone Town".

I'm ok with anyone of any culture...as long as they respect other's cultures to..but that's me personally!!
