That's the point, Jamaicans aren't beating/killing gays en masse. It's become propaganda at this point.

lmao at dudes talking about buck breaking like the average Jamaicans even know what that is. It wouldnt even make them hate gays, but make them hate whites and rapists.



Acting like there's a reasonable reason
:mjlol:








shyt dont even make sense

You do realize that the atrocities that occurred during slavery have had generational effects on how we as a people interact with one another and address certain things (homosexuality, light skin etc.) right? Or is this a new concept to you?

And none of that has to do with the intense hatred for gays. Jamaicans will cite the bible first and foremost for their revulsion. It has nothing to do with slavery.


And the irony is so much of the dancehall culture is gay as hell. The clothes, the hairstyles, the dancing; if these guys were American we would be clowning them

:comeon:If they were american...uh well they ain't american, they're Jamaican. Meaning they adhere to a completely different culture than you (shocking, I know). I'm sure a lot of thinks english and american ppl do seem gay to islanders as well.

Jamaicans will cite the bible which was impressed on Africans there during slavery. It Also derives from the buggery that they were subjected to, I'm not asking you this either. It's not even debatable. Just like how my dad doesn't like when ppl put their foot on him because white slave masters use to put their foot on slaves to suck out their sickness. He was taught that by his grandmother but never directly linked it to slavery until I researched it and told him.

his is why, in collaboration with Dr Noel Cowell from the University of the West Indies, I decided to conduct the largest piece of research of its kind to date, using data collected by Professor Ian Boxhill.
By interviewing about 2,000 people across 40 communities in Jamaica, we looked at the predictors of anti-gay bias and measured them.

Our results confirm the suspicion that Jamaicans, in general, hold very strong prejudices against gays and lesbians. This was true whether we referred to attitudes, perceptions of gay rights, or prejudiced behaviour. But why? This question isn't easily answered. However, thanks to this research, we can now point to some important variables.

As in other countries, wealth, education and (younger) age were associated with less anti-gay prejudice. Religiosity, which is often the reason offered by anti-gay lobbyists, also predicted more anti-gay bias. However, it was neither the strongest nor the most reliable predictor. When all the factors were taken into account simultaneously, the two that were most reliable were a preference for dancehall music, and gender.

There has been much debate about dancehall in Jamaica. Internationally, many people view artists like Banton, Vybz Kartel and Beenie Man as inciting sexuality-based violence, while others defend these "calls to action" as being much more metaphorical – a litmus test of what is and isn't acceptable in Jamaican society.

This research provides the first empirical evidence that these songs may be harmful, leading to more negative attitudes and anti-social behaviour. We need more research looking at the consequences of anti-gay dancehall, and policy on what we should do about it.

We also found that male gender was an important predictor, trumping education, age and even religion. This raises important questions about what it means to be a man in Jamaica. What it is about those perceptions of masculinity that finds the existence of gays so unbearable? Is it that Jamaican masculinity has become overly focused on toughness and anti-femininity, at the expense of socially beneficial constructs such as responsibility? Interventions aimed at reshaping gender norms in Jamaica may be useful in reducing negativity towards those seen as "deviant"
