lest anyone be fooled, there are many different strata to society in jamaica, not everyone is trying to stay AI because they are in hiding and don't want to be found out lmao by whatever game they may or may not be running. This is another pet peeve of mine, along with people who moan about foreign food invading Jamaica- which is exceedingly ironic considering how Jamaica's cuisine developed. Anyway, I wish everyone would consider AIs to be an "authentic" Jamaican experience, just like I could stay at the W or the Waldorf and have two different but definitely New York experiences.
almost every friend i have from town looks at me like i am nuts to want to stay anywhere but an AI, and god forbid I suggest they check in somewhere on the west end or something other than an AI. they wouldn't eat food from 3/4s of the places I do lmao.
even major and minor acts want, or demand, AI.
back to women's issues...
I don't blame you Macy for raising your fam off island one bit.
I would and have gone completely apeshit on too many occasions as it is.
if you want to get yourself fired up about something to the point you take some action don't let it be because some crackhead spits a bombaclaat at you lmao, that's not a thing. Support some place like Theodora which incredibly lacked support!!!! But there are others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as what Tammy was saying to change things, this is a cultural and societal sea change, it is going to take generations and the only thing that can do it is exposure, and a means of generating opportunities, but somewhere along the line that opportunity stream always seems to get choked off. Jamaica needs to do a lot more to get their formers to move back and educate the population.
How can there be massive sea change in a culture or population when significant segments of the population never even leave their parish or their town for that matter and are mired in ignorant, ingrained generational beliefs. on top of this you have some shit in the cocktail like the Maafa.
culture is culture but come on.
