Why Are Jamaicans Always Bigging Up White People, And Putting Down Blacks?
Jamaicans are always going out of their way to support and defend white people, while racially discriminating against people of African descent at the same time.
In Jamaica, there is a tremendous amount of racial discrimination being perpetrated by a small white/mulatto elite against a majority black population, and that this majority black population, being thoroughly indoctrinated in black self-hatred, will both victimize themselves and other people of African descent. How else does one explain the fact that both political and economic power within the nation are almost exclusively concentrated in the hands of a small white/mulatto elite to begin with? Why are the very wealthy, as well as those who possess the greatest amount of social/economic mobility within Jamaican society, always exclusively drawn from the ranks of whites and light-skinned mulattoes? It is a well-known fact that Jamaicans have always elected leaders who deliberately promoted black-on-black rivalry (Norman Manley and the Jamaican-initiated dissolution of the West Indian Federation in 1958) or outright black-on-black racism (Hugh Shearer and his contempt for black civil rights, black pride, and black nationalism, culminating in the expulsion of Guyanese black nationalist Walter Rodney from Jamaica). In addition, it should be obvious from a brief examination of black voting patterns in Jamaica that Jamaican society is one that institutionalizes both black-on-black racism and black racial self-hatred. Often, this black self-hatred that happens to be widespread throughout the island is used as the justification for rationalizing further discrimination and mistreatment against people of African descent, especially Haitians, Africans, and black Americans.
How does one explain the fact that skin bleaching has reached epidemic proportions in Jamaica, with the majority of Jamaicans bleaching themselves white in one form or the other? And what about the fact that most Jamaicans believe that becoming white is the only way to achieve power and success? Just because one refuses to consciously recognize the existence of distinct Euro-Jamaican/mulatto/Afro-Jamaican communities on the island, does not change the fact that there are substantial social, cultural, political, and economic differences between these communities. Labelling everyone “Jamaican” residing within the boundaries of the island does not change the fact that people of European and mulatto ancestry in Jamaica are considerably more advantaged, economically, politically and socially, than the majority of Jamaicans, who happen to be neither white nor mulatto.
Furthermore, no other black majority society in either Africa or the Caribbean, except for Jamaica, has ever democratically elected governments dominated by a small white/mulatto elite or allowed the white minority to control the means of economic production. It would seem that the psychological internalization of white supremacist ideology by the overwhelming majority of Jamaicans reflects the fact that the penetration of European values and culture (rather than European power) was much greater throughout the West Indies, especially in Jamaica, than Africa, or indeed many of the islands of the British Caribbean.
"Yes, Massa, Yessum Sa!" Most Jamaicans see themselves as slaves of the white man and will do anything he says.
MOST JAMAICANS ARE RACIST, WHITE-WASHED BIGOTS WHO GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PERSECUTE AND RACIALLY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE AND AFRICAN CULTURE!
