We ARE yardies!! Plain and simple.

Over the past 10 years we've allowed the racist media to ruin this word that has been usedfrom generations....what with their ignorant associations of it with crime and drugs.

We shouldn't shy away from using the term to refer to our Jamaican or other Caribbeanfamily members and friends in it's original context just because these racist idiots deem it to represent criminal behaviour.

Let's not let the media or white folks in generalcontrol what we use in our vocabulary with one another. If they wanted to associate the common term 'blood' or 'bredrin' with crime also then they'd do that. It ain't up to them to define us.
