Patronising? I'll be direct
You ramble. If you visit Jamaica with the negative, judgemental, bad attitude that you project on here, then that explains what you get back from the people there.
You have no sense of global reality, just spit your vitriol at Jamaicans. Your damaged and confused, that is apparent.
I don't believe Jamaica is like paradise, or Jamaicans are perfect, but maybe I have standards and surround myself with good, normal people, rather than the dross you must mix with!
I have a daughter, mother in law, 3 sister in laws, nieces and female friends there who have not experienced what you describe. But I unlike you ,accept that there are women, girls and children who have experienced horrible traumas.BUT it is not everyone...jees...
Everything you say or should I say rant about Jamaicans, does happen everywhere and like I said not always with justice.
I never understood a black woman that is with a white man, and then slags off all black men. Confused and disgusting!
People like you give haters of black people fuel and reason to justify their views. You'd fit right in with the far right..
With all my heart I find you offensive, and narrow minded.
There's people on here who have Jamaican sons, brothers, fathers, and partners. You have no filter your right, but I would say that your just a tactless bigot of your own people.
You are speaking your truth, not the truth, get it...!
Jitters, I'm not sure of your connection to Jamaica, can't work it out, I think I have listened to everyone's opinion and presented my own different one. You don't listen to other peoples views, your posts I think are full of self gratification, posting negative headlines of JA. Really you could balance it out with a few headlines from your local newspapers. Think you ll find em more similar than different.
You feel you have some right of passage there and you go so you know, and that's why you critisize ex pats and tourists. How do you see yourself?
I know of a board that you may appreciate more, http://www.stepfordwives.com
Don't make judgements on how often I visit, I'll just laugh at that comment,
But seriously why do you go to Jamaica?? There are many countries that I feel negative about, would I waste time and money and risk my life going there...never! It does not make sense that you would keep going, then be so critical. Lots of other sunny countries out there for sure.
But if it's uniformly as you both describe, why is this and other boards full of people who have been going there regularly for decades. Bit of an oxy moron!
Wow, Pappa Jezusssssss!
I will just respond to say you are right I am one count. I am speaking MY truth based on MY experience, which I thought the purpose of THIS board. As for the rest, nothing about me and my self esteem is wrapped up in what you think about me, so honestly couldn't give a rats ass. The name calling (, damage, confuse, disgusting, offensive, narrow minded, tactless, bigot ) go ahead and do your thing because at the end of the day you have relatives that are Jamaican, I am Jamaican.
Damn it, I thought I made a list. I will always respect your truth which I am sure will never be some of ours. I never mentioned black men simple Jamaican men. I assume Jamaican is the standard by which all black men are judged, sweet Jezzzus. By golly my sessions with Dr White Zinfandel and the brothers Jack and Daniels and Stout cousins Dragon and Guinness have worked because I am really laughing my ass off at you right not, after your assessment that I am damaged, must be my heart valve. You going off at a Jamaican about how she feels about her own country.
I am sure Tammy did not create this board encouraging people to speak their truth to be subject to your level of attack. Let's back the wheel up and if not respect each others truth and experience but Tammy.
I think with a certain degree of certainty I am done with these boards.
Peace out, Putus . you win! Please forgive me is this post was in any way rambling or a rant! Enjoy your victory!
