To this day, there has never been a collective concept of "one people".

What do you mean?

Not talking about being one with any crackers here. You guys are African Americans even though you're from various African nations as weare in the Carib, you're not exactly a raceless peoples with no identity and neither are we... We've never been. If anything theres resentment due to certain African nations involvement in the Maafa in which some people turn their backs on the continent as well as the usual ignorance involved but even then we've always been well rooted for the most part being on the front line and all.

We suffer from class issues as Afriki mentioned and are prehaps seperated by cultural values, the English invited over the more Christian of usover to the UK to work and help them get over WWII.Now people from JA feel abandoned by the ones who left, as though we got rich and don't want to return or just live fat in the hills whereas in reality most don't want to go back because they don't like having to deal withtheclass issue and would ratherreturn when the Carib is sorted.

I was speaking in America in terms of America never being united and acceptingall its people as Jamaica. Western governments, or Capitalism, can only thrive by exploitation. There must be at least one group exploited for the material gain of others or the systems collapses upon itself.
