Considering their tiny population are Jamaicans the most influential people ever?

I am not even Jamaican but i gotta pay respect. A tiny island with a population of not even up to 3 million people gave the world Reggae, Bob Marley, Usain Bolt, Marcus Garvey, Notorious BIG. I am pretty sure i am missing a lot more things inspired by Jamaican culture that have become mainstays in today's society.

I could agree, even in NY a ton of our culture has originated from someone of Jamaican descent. Marcus Garvey, Marley, Biggie. That said, they as a people have fallen off ever since their culture became more secular.

Realistically the British are the most influential people in history imo although all that influence was by occupation . We're speaking English right now. And Jamacia was once a British colony.

Remember AA population is like 40 million, while Jamaica is just under 3 million.In relation to their population Jamaicans have been very influential. AAs are a close 2nd.

He said by population, British people are like 60 million people and Jamaica is barely 2 million so yeah I think Jamaicans are very influential given their size.

We built America and a lot of non AA's get thrown in with us. That's why they'll say Black/AA

African Americans and I don't think its close.

But that's today's numbers, not the time of influence. Though Jamaica has always been smaller than Britain, so maybe that's redundant

 

[Insun Park]

Who outside of the Caribbeans actually gives a fukk about reggae?

BIG's influence pales in comparison to Tupac's influence and I respect Usain Bolt but people only give a fukk about his sport once every 4 years

African Americans the most influential people by far, sorry! We're your favorite black people's favorite black people.

Ima just post up and watch the fukkery, Jah know star

Lol how is this even debatable

Ah I see. Well in that case it's purely subjective. It's easy for us to say as we are in the West and see that influence. Outside of that there isn't much
