(((MACY)))) sistren.. you crack me up.. "They want to give us their ENERGY"
I rarely post in these kinds of threads because I simply cannot relate.. but the read is very interesting.. I don't get the hassle, the dirty looks, the hassle, no means no and I keep it moving.. if you get rude.. I get rude and then we see who can out rude each other. I see how some folks of the "lighter" hue treat the most nice and respectable people down right rude. I see how they look at me until I open my mouth and they realize that I am not Jamaican born or they think they do, and then want to hold a conversation like we have something in common.
Is it the locs, the color of my skin, or that I am older and wiser. I can go to Jamaica for Two weeks and not have a meaningful conversation with a SOUL because I basically go to get away from people. I am basicaly a Loner when I
go to Jamaica. I don't feel the need to bond with other people while there, especially from the US. I go to soak up the sun, sea, culture. My most interesting conversation are with the children who seem to gravitate towards me and I like listening to them.
This is an interesting thread and I am enjoying and learning some things.
SEVEEN, OHLIZ, MACY - ditto ditto ditto on your writings..
