It is a good subject for discussion if everyone sees its as the open debate it should be and the moderators allow this to be censor-free.

But lets see how mature we all are. I am sure that in any relationship ppl has to say "I dont like when you say this or that". Why can't we do same here without getting into a fuss? Dont you agree?

Re: Racism amongst us...Let's just Talk.
Is there a point to this?....is it not going to result in the same as all the rest?.....one can only have an open discussion when we are first able to look inward.......do you really feel we are at the place yet for there to be a meaningful discussion on issues of race.....do you think people are able to seperate themselves from the personal likes or dislikes of a particular member long enough to actually HEAR what they are saying?......do you not think there are too many other agendas at play here with the same people time and time again involved in the same conflict that disrupts the harmony of this site? then running else where to laugh about comments made by members on here in response to so called debates.......I personally dont think we are there yet.....sorry I really dont.

Also, just because I may not be friends with some people doesn't mean all out war...lol Like I say, its about respect. Some friendships are fickle and fall by the wayside...whereas respect is earned through honesty and bravery. You can't like everyone in this world or expect to be liked by everyone. If you do then you are self-deluded. I believe some issues and topics need passion, need heated debate. The biggest enemy of the human spirit and freedom is: APAHTY! |

Are you saying we are too deeply entrenched in our emotional setup that we cant address a matter maturly? If we had the same issue on our jobs, in our schools or even at home, can't we just say "I dont like when you say..." without turning it into a quarrel????? If not, then we are all frauds here!!!!!! Well, let me be the idiot and start it rolling..... I personally dont like when (some) White Women talk about going to Jamaica and hooking up with some Jamiacan men, as if to say that they (the men) are hanging out in Jamaica with their lives on hold, just waiting for them to come down and fall in love. I dont like that. Will someone talk to me about it or get upset? if not, I'll just turn this into a monologue.

So you might not like it....but you have some jamaican men PRAYIN to hook up with a white woman. And i wouldn't say that it's like they are 'wating' for them to come down, but as I said before, they see it as an opportunity.

Re: Racism amongst us...Let's just Talk.
I dont like when said White women give the impression that these men are so naive and overwhelmed by them that they will just drop their Jamaican women, desert their former lives and just runaway with them.
It bothers me when they believe that after they leave, they make such an impression that these guys will spend all their time ignoring everyone around them and just pine away for them. It makes me feel like they think that Jamaican men have little or no brains.

Hey, you are entitled to your opinion, and like I say I respect u for that but just get ready to be banned when you cut too close to the ETJ bone. Sometimes telling it as it is ...is the LAST thing some people want to hear. Its the decision YOU have to make. The only thing you have to be sure about is NOT BE GENERAL..or make sweeping statements. IMHO. |

And there is nothing wrong with that. But what bothers me is when they believ that they will come here, get their papers and "throw stone behind them". Some refuse to believ that they want the papers but they will not desert their own back home.
