So you saying Jamaicans don’t depend on the government?
Goofy what culture?
You going a little too hard for someone who has a Jamaican motherTHIS IS A GREAT QUESTION. my mom and i ( which is Jamaican) was discussing this today. she was telling a story when her co worker was ( black American) bragged about kicking her son out at 18. my mom had a puzzled face like why? where he is going to live?? her co worker was like she doesnt care!
Yo, there some levels to this statementThe White People of the Diaspora
Seriously though we gotta stop spending our money with people who act like they are doing you a favor by spending with them.
Latin America and the South Pacific are the two places where even if they secretly ain’t rocking with you, they treat you like royalty when you spending your money. I can’t wait to go back to Costa Rica, every spot we hit up went out of their way to make sure we were well accommodated. They knew our names, what we liked to drink, had things prepared for us when we arrived after excursions, etc…….and we didn’t ask for any of it.
This lady is a c00n, she's acting like we don't have our fair share of fukkery too. Not trying to start no diaspora wars.
The black immigrants that come here need to go to HBCU’s as a requirement and take classes in black culture. Btw HBCU’s need to require all students to take a Black Empowerment class.Feel like when African and Caribbean immigrants compare their culture to ADOS....they're really comparing the best parts of THEIR OWN culture to American 'hood culture which isn't that different from white redneck culture (substance abuse, babies out of wedlock, violence, lack of educational opportunity etc).
You rarely hear immigrants speaking on any kind of ADOS culture outside the hood.
Do they not have access to "regular" Black Americans? Churgoing working class or middle class folks, upper middle class Jack N Jill etc? We assume they should know better but maybe not.
