The land disputes are common in every country in the black diaspora. But the level of violence seems fairly unique to Jamaica.

I work with someone who family is from India and his father was building a home back over there and had his brothers handle the construction. He had to go back to see what was up with the house because they kept asking for money for construction but it was taking forever. When he gets there he sees that they built this big house, bigger than he wanted and for more money, and they were living in it like it was theirs. They said they did not see the problem since he was a "rich" American now and he should be helping them. He finally kicked them out and shut it down, but he never had to deal with violence from his family or the town he was from.

The audacity.

this is why i laugh and people who think Caribbean/africa is some sort of paradise where you eat pineapple and mango and sit on the beach everyday. shyt is not a joke

Cities aren’t a joke anywhere

that’s why you go to the more uninhabited parts of the world

[MikelArteta]

Sorry to hear, which part you ppl from

Clarendon (Trout Hall)

 

[EA]

Same, my parents get called "Foreign" when they go back cos they moved to UK

MoBay is just not JA to me, just full or tourists and american dollars, at most when Im in JA I go there for weekend hotel stay

All about Half Way Tree, Kingston

My Nan still has her accent and gets called foreign. I even got told that it was easy to tell I was foreign from how fast I walked

MoBay is very touristy but it’s the best of both worlds in Jamaica as far as tourism but still feeling authentic. My family are from Westmoreland so Negril is an option but there still parts of Kingston where you can still hear gunfire at night

Clarendon (Trout Hall)

That’s a goonish area right breh?

 

[MikelArteta]

That’s a goonish area right breh?

Nope
Mainly an area known for citrus and sugar cane farming

 

[DaRealness]

And don't even get me started on those who were lucky enough to be sent for and stay with you only to steal and cause all types of chaos. That's another discussion that needs to be had.

it's sad when you can't even retire/visit your birthplace without the fear of getting murdered.

As some have stated once there is no code and everything/everyone is fair game its over. It's sad that once you go back you have to live in the tourist/safe side just so you can have a sense of security
