Had a wicked discussion with Dr Anthony Harriet UWI on violence in Jamaican culture and his book on Badness Honour and bwoy what he was showing us about the violence in Jamaican culture and how deep rooted it is and more so than most Caribbean island. My man giving us examples of man just get vex and start chopping people anybody they see and this is not today going back centuries. So as Fanon said the acute violence experienced by Africans in Jamaica which was taken on by the political class and violence in forms of social and economic policies and how it impacts on people has had a significant impact on the people's culture.

Professor Caroline Cooper says a similar thing, but not so hardcore as my man and explains this is why Jamaicans are the most verbally aggressive people in the Caribbean and have the most cuss words. This is why the violence you get against gays in Jamaica although small and not common is unique and rare compared to other islands at worse man will diss you but not physically harm you.

All about specific contextual variables which explains important differences.
