I know that these places were founded on such. We Jamaican have eradicated it over the years. In addition, it will never take root there again. So any body that is planning to migrate there. Must be advice that they have to leave that attitude in their original country. Because we are not going to tolerate that foolishness. Sorry to know that I offend you.

“Class” Problem is what we got. Petty theft, bad roads in some place, and unemployment. People in Jamaica do not care what you skin tone is. You live any community if you can afford the house. You go jogging any time you want without police following behind you, and neighbor calling and reporting that they saw suspicious black man running in the community. Just in case, you might ask me. If Jamaica is so good why live in other country? In addition, I would say, “That is my dddddddddda business.”

DrJames.. yes of course you are right to a point...there is anm issue of CLASS, but i suggest you respectfully that underlining the class issue is one of racism.... I cite the growing number of Asians taking over business over in the carribean, and their treatment of black workers who they get to FRONT their business to make it appear BLACK owned...
I cite the growing number of hotal chains building huge all inclusive hotel complexs especially on the NORTH coast, that use our people to service these projects at very low pay.. the growing exclusion of ordinary Jamaican from their own beaches in favour of whom...European tourist... If they keep buiding at the rate they are building new hotels..the tourist will soon outnumber the jamaicans on the island..
The sir i cite the most obvious how the Jamaican dollar is almost relegated in key areas in favour of the US dollar..that is nothing short of a disgrace..and if thats not founded on racism I like to know what is...
Now i could also talk about the colour caste system that limits the job you will be accept in, ie banks light skinned do you get my drift? So is racism really eradicated?

My Bank is the NCB and JMMB. I saw all kind of people working in these banks. If Thee is no black face working in there I will never put a penny in there.
It is about education, the more qualified people get the job. That is one good thing about Jamaican. The like you thing is a white people thing. It does not matter what you look like the whole thing are base on qualification.
More clear colored people in good jobs is because heir fore fathers left them with an education.

I know! And I'm sorry Fanny but it just made me laugh too hard. I hope she forgives me! It doesn't matter anyway as long as she knows how to count all the money she's making she's alright!
