For me there is a lot I have experienced in Jamaica but have never experienced in the US and not all bad. The reason I haven't painted my skin red, white, and blue is there are still things I like and appreciate about Jamaica and the culture, so for me unique. Outside of the US, how many times and how often have you read of school shootings. Also a country with all the wealth of the US but kids still go to bed hungry. IMOP, without uniqueness cultures would just be an extension of each other.
Now, I think we (me and the mouse in my pocket) have been less than fair to many Jamaican men because it is easier than taking a hard look at the role of females: our mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, and ourselves. Jamaica might be the one thing most on this board have in common but we have experienced it differently. I am concern going back to my father's yawd because someone might try to get me. Can't get Harry get his shirt (kid) for the sins of a man already dead. Being the first born, there might be land involved. Now that might change the reason they don't want me around.
