Jamaicans who used a foreign passport can be restricted as to the amount of time if you do not present a Jamaica passport. If you get a Jamaica unconditional landed stamped in your foreign passport by present proof of Jamaica citizenship by birth or otherwise then they will not limit your stay.
The term African identified one of his or her race . Nationality is a situation. So anyone can be part of a specific situation. Africa is a continent , Most blacks outside of Africa are descendants of African slaves in different situations.
you can not claim what you are not .she should be proud of her Asian heritage .she may had Eu or Usa citizenship but she will be address as asian in us or in eu.
I am a Jamaican living abroad for over 35 years and I embrace my Jamaican roots and my African ancestry, yes I don’t call myself an African but I acknowledge that’s my roots.
That is what she is saying if you are even Jamaican and you hold another passport and some people sound Jamaican and you don’t have the Jamaican passport

Most Jamaicans prior to colonialism don’t have African Ancestry! The original Arawaks and Caribs were autochthonous to Jamaica and the rest of the so called Caribbean. Those foreigners sound like the Caucasians in America. No foreigner is autochthonous to these respective lands!
@@giniolamy How much of them claim us.Born in a mixed family.Expose to others from the same background. And I hardly saw the others races proudly claim their black family members. Even some of the mix races act as their better. Afro Jamaican always the talking boutique relatives that want no parts of them.
Chinese, Indians, Irish came to Jamaica as Indentured Servants in the eighteen hundreds. Africans were already in Jamaica as enslaved humans since the 16th century. So, she is wrong
Jamaican were there before Columbus. Some Africans were taken to Jamaica as salve. She is not a native of Jamaica. Her and her whole family is indigenous to China, not Jamaica. Most Chinese in Jamaica don't live Jamaican. They get rich off our culture and now claim what they learn from us and capitalise off as there's. Most segregate themselves and look down on the locals.
Jamaica might not be an African country, but it is made up basically of people of African descent, they are Africans and are proud of it. Personally I always view Jamaica as an African country out of Africa. One❤
Same here,me toooo long long time. I even wanted to visit Jamaica one time,knowing they would think am from there while simply east African. Back in London they all would say am Jamaican hanging with Jamaicans,I said it didn't matter. We are all ☝🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The africans in Jamaica were from many tribes and spoke different dialects so they had to find a way to communicate and that was how patois was formed and it was also so that europeans could not understand them also there were European words in the recipe.
taino Indians , irish workers, arabs and chinese all had a hand in creating the language because they were all here at the same time. not just african. you cant claim it all.
@@BO_Riddle It was only African at that time .Some African were mixed with Taino that runaway to hills. Maybe has time went on other influenced the dialect.But Arab had no influence on the culture.The other non African groups came after slavery ended.
@kayjohnson9786 you don't know what you're talking about. Arabs have influenced with food example Syrian bread which is famous in jamaica. Chinese indians portuguese were there during time of ending of slavery hundreds of years ago. Plus some blacks even came AFTER the chinese and Indians. I suggest you read a book on the history of jamaica and caribbean or Several!
You mixing up words with complete language... English and other words don't make a language... they can be used in a language like what has happened with patois. Also when did the Arabs and Chinese contribute to the Jamaican language? I don't think you are Jamaican....
You are mis informed. Jamaicans are diverse. The first black peoples actually came from Spain. Jamaicans are Igbo. Ashanti, Irish, 60% Scottish names the largest outside of Scotland. The accent is Gaelic with African, French and Spanish words.

Are people still running with the ideology of their oppressor. How do you know who you're. Because if we're going off, what we learned in school hell n powder house.
Speak for yourself. You folks are constantly mixing up "ethnicity " with "nationality " so please educate yourselves and know the DIFFERENCE as you all sound so uneducated, which I'll take a guess and say most are - they didn't finish high school much less get higher education or an advanced degree. Not to mention, most of you have never, ever been out of or traveled to any other country -- I have; been to many countries in all the Continents except Antartica. Educate yourselves - read, read, read, watch documentaries and travel- it will open your mind and you'll learn a LOT. BTW, I am bi-racial and have many many many relatives who are very diverse in ethnicity (as a result of their parents marriage) and who live all over the world - countries where I've visited them. Be curious and learn.

Peple who don't know history are a dunce or plain ignorant. Just like the Africans were bought to Jamaica, other ethnic groups came and they helped build the country. So now we have a Melting pot of people of other ethnic groups born in Jamaica AND THEY ARE NOW ALL Jamaicans. Try as you might you can push them out if they were born here. Remember our motto out of many one people If I was born in an African country then I would be an African but because I'm born in Jamaica I am a Jamaican that is her point.

I’m a Jamaican and proud to be of African descent, lot of white,Chinese and Indian born and raised in Jamaica, and they are indeed Jamaican. But 80 plus percent of Jamaican population are from African descent and yes we love Africa and proud to call ourselves African.

Patwa is largely African and English. The accent might be similar to Irish but the language has several African words. She cannot lecture me on my history. And while Jamaicans are not all Africans, the majority (95%) are people from African descent.
@oneilhall5694 also ... many caribbean and south American countries have creole languages that's similar to Jamaican ... without Irish interactions. What's she has done is to find a few persons who sounds Jamaican and basically saying we are a product of them. It's like seeing Europeans eating out of a yabba .... and then concluding that we got the idea from them
I've always have a problem with that damn motto.. "out of many 1 people" thts b.s!! Wen jamaica IS a pre dominant slave port which mostly afrikans were brought an so forth..It's very dread & pitiful to c a Chinese woman educating jamaicans abt they own culture etc this motto is wat gives these other inhabitants a voice wen the locals suffer frm political sickness this causing severe mental disorders tht inevitably leads to mental slavery example; this filthy die harted mindset is the root problem..
Most of those Chinese people run away from Jamaica 🇯🇲 when the pressure was on.. they are mad because all these African bloggers talking about Jamaica & Jamaican people
I don’t understand why so many people are out to prove the lady wrong. From what I gathered, she made 2 points I see as truth: 1) The dialect / accent was influenced by the Irish and 2) Jamaica is ethnically diverse. Where in those statements is she wrong?
She can’t be calling Jamaicans of African descent dunce! Who gives her the authority to speak on Jamaican people! She needs to go sit down somewhere! How dare her disrespect Jamaicans! She’s 2% of Jamaican society, and the people of the largest%, never talks down to the minorities of Jamaica!

So does that make you African, or just African descent. If one understands historically all races originated from Africa. I will not belabour this point. What of the North Africans ( Arabs, Syrians etc.) How do we classify a 3rd and 4th generation white South African ? Careful thought is important.
@@enviro-best2175 In Africa, we don't consider Arabs and whites as African. We consider them as immigrants who dwell on ancient African lands.

The descendants of invaders. Not Africans or part of us.

Try using your understanding, it's not about not being a Jamaican it's about being of what or which desendant and she is of Chinese decent and blacks is of African decent, still all Jamaicans, so as black we say African paying homage to Africa and our ancestors if she doesn't want to embrace China here business that but don't say we can't identify ourselves as Africans cause no matter where yu come from as long ad yu are a black man you are an African, words or the great "Peter Tosh"

Yes but when things get really crazy in Jamaica they get to go to other countries and China but we don’t get to run like them because we are African decent we got to do or die and fight No Chinese was in the Morant Bay Rebellion fighting for our freedom and die on yonder gallas Only Paul Bogle and a English decent man named George William Gordon who was a true friend of Bogle.So these Chinese people never helped our ancestors fought because they were never enslaved when they were brought to Jamaica
The next thing when the other race that is Not African decent wants to go abroad using the Jamaican passport and citizenship they are given first class treatment in getting visas over the blacks.That’s why it’s very easy for them to travel abroad without being victimised or deported and that’s the plain truth there colour and ethnicity given them entitlement at any of these embassies and countries because it’s a white privileged world
Faithjj6016 George William Gordon was biracial and he was from Cherry Gardens in upper St.Andrew. They hung him and if memory serves me right he was a lawyer fighting against the enslavement of Black Population in Jamaica.🇯🇲
It may be true that Jamaican can have Irish blood lines, but it do not mean that Jamaican do not also have African blood lines also .. and this do not mean that Jamaican can not claim African heritage.
🇯🇲 is absolutely a Black country! Approx 96% of our population is African. And we are "Hyphenated". We have Afro-European, Afro-Chinese, Afro-Indian, Afro-Arabs. She is right about Irish immigration but only partially right about our accent.
@datraass rubbish ... have you even been to other caribbean islands or even talked with some south American countries? Some of these countries have similar accents and even the language structures are similar. You need to stop agreeing with people who have agendas. Jamaican patois is African... which is why so many caribbean and south American accent and languages are similar to ours. West africans visiting Jamaican can understand the purest patois with a week.
From Namibia standing with you in fact The Carribean is also considered as Pat of the African Union hope my btothers and sisters in Haiti will also unite and have everlasting PEACE❤❤❤ AFRICAN STRONG
FYI! The name Africa was never a name Africa Identify with before slavery that’s why she the Chinese lady said some dunce Jamaicans and I agree. Africa was renamed by a white man from Europe and that was his family name dunce Jamaicans! Go and seek our African historian and Jamaican historian too.
@@truepink349 The Indigenous people of this world did not have names for the continents they lived on. It is the pirates who sailed around the world colonizing places that gave the names we use today. While we might not have identified ourselves as one people before the slave trade and colonialization, now we do. We share a common struggle as Africans. So this argument that Africa is not the right name to use is neither here nor there in 2024.
There will never be unity amongst Caribbean islands because they cannot get along. Everyone protects its waters. We are many different nations and races in the Caribbean within the blackness of our skin. I do not support one Caribbean but I say we blacks are indigenous to the earth.
So glad I'm American and have no ties to AFRICA. Jamaicans do have ties to Africa. Most black American families were already in the states for centuries. They had an ethnogenesis.
The woman is talking facts teaching history and I see a lot of Africans on here spreading dissent stop it, you know nothing about Jamaicans. Yes you love our music and food etc. but you are bringing your Africanism to somewhere else that does not apply. Jamaicans can call themselves African if they choose but I sure as hell am not African I am Jamaican end of story. I have spent enough time around Africans to know how different they are to us, we might be the same colour but we are not the same people.
When you change your mind, Africa will still welcome you. Africans are not your enemies. The people who invaded Africa should be the ones to be blamed for all this division. Had they never come to our land with guns to steal, kill, and destroy, our people would not be scattered around the world against their will. Anyway, it is what it is.
Oliver Cromwell Sent Black Irish to the Islands and America, killed many people and stole their land. The Origin is African (Grimaldi from Africa) settled Ireland.
She is right about immigration will stamp your passport if it isnt Jamaican. And yes our language are mix with Irish and Africa. And yes we're a mix country out of many one people
People get confused between race and nationality. They are two different things. Races are definitely related to a place, but it has nothing to do with whether it not you were born there. Nationality has to do with where you were born, regardless of your race. Africans are of the negroid race. Chinese people are of the mongoloid race. Europeans are of the Caucasoid race. Each of those races originated in different parts of the world, Africa, Asia and Europe respectively. So to be of particular race it matters where your people and your DNA originate from, not where you were born. I was born in the United States. I had my DNA tested and nothing in my DNA test said indigenous American. The majority of my DNA said different regions of western, central and Southern Africa, even though I have never been to Africa. So even though I have never been to Africa, there is no way I can deny being African or of African descent. If that Chinese lady were to take a DNA test, I seriously doubt it would say “indigenous Jamaican”! I’m sure it would say China and/or some other Asian regions. I think most Jamaicans DNA test results would be like mine, mostly African, since the Jamaican population is about 90% black. Now your nationality, meaning where you were born has nothing to do with your genetics. It has to do with birth place and culture. So yes, there are cultural differences between different black people based on where they were born and the same goes for other races. Some people may choose to only identify with their nationality and their culture, some people may choose to identify more with their genetics. I just think that all of those things matter. Your nationality, your culture and your genetics all matter equally to me. As a black person walking around being treated the way black people are treated, I cannot deny being black because my skin says so. I choose to identify with all the aspects of me, the African part, the American part and I also have Portuguese and Spanish genetics, and I can identify with those culturally as well, because it is also part of my culture. So I say, people can identify with whichever aspects of themselves they choose to identify with, but they cannot dictate to another person what that person should identify with. So that Chinese lady cannot tell a Jamaican person that they are not African if they choose to identify with that aspect of themselves.
Jamaica is predominantly black however there is many mixtures of other ethnicity let's put it straight secondly they don't like for Clemson and Jamaican but then the African descent they don't like the black people dem
Jamaica - out of many people is actually diverse…… She is saying the accent is similar to Iris… yes the dialect is mixed up with West African heritage What’s the issue - African Americans doesn’t say they are from Africa -- Jamaica wasn’t divided - it’s multiracial
Son, if you are getting paid to start drama stop it. She didn't say jamaicans are not Africans. She said our dialect is Irish, and she is correct. Stop making videos on jamaica and choose your own country. The cadence in our language is Irish. Irish indentured servants taught jamaicans English. We use alot of Irish words in our language and not even know it
The Asian woman isn't wrong about the Irish origin and dialect. But you can't discredit there was much more Africans brought to the island who were forced to harvest sugar cane down the line....
On the entry to Jamaica, by law, if you enter the island with anything other than a Jamaican Passport, you are subject to the whims and fantasy of the immigration officer just like any other other country, no matter what you might say or think. I would suggest you download the laws of the Jamaican Immigration Act.
It is very difficult for Jamaicans to really say which ethnicity is the strongest in us unless we take a DNA testing. We are a mixed-up race. Even for some persons who may look black, white, Chinese, or Indians, that is what we see now because of our current parentage. But our motto is true, out of many one people. I am a Jamaican.
Well sweetheart unfortunately the same for African Americans but African DNA trumps it all 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 FYI Your language has West African also. Jamaican’s , Ghanaian’s history tells a story. IJS .
My Chinese sister battles identity in a manner that reminds me of The Afrikaner Factor in South Africa: When you have citizenship of one country with strong historic and demographic ties from your country of native identity. Pride and prejudice have been upgraded in subtlety and sophistry in our relationship with one another across colour, tongue, class and creed. This is the bane of social cohesion.
Jamaicans are not a continent . Majority of Jamaicans have african ancestry, but how is the Majority of Jamaicans living in Jamaicans don't live out african cultures or embrace the ideology of an African. The rastas are the ones who promote African culture. You have the maroons, but that is it.

how can we live African culture?......we were taught to hate ourselves and all things African......there's a deliberate disconnect by the tormentors/enslavers/oppressors

Patois is English-based, but in terms of an accent, our African ancestry is more than an accent. It's even our mannerisms. The "kissing of teeth". The neck movements; The expressive diphthongs and intonation. It's all primarily African. Jamaica is strongly an African-descended nation. There is no denying that.
To the content creator and all who disagree: She is not wrong about the race and motto! Jamaica's racial makeup is of African, Lebanese, Indian, Haka Chinese, Syrian, and White. 90% are of African descent with many mixed into that majority, and the remaining 10% is made up of the rest. What she is wrong about is Immigration telling people they have to leave. Once you can prove your citizenship of birth as Jamaican, they cannot ask you to leave.
I don't think you can look on the population of Jamaica an think they came from Ireland. That's absurd. They maybe a mixture of different ethnicity. But the African ancestors history is written in the looks of Jamaicans and its African. There us no other country That's more African than Jamaicans. 🫡

I keep hearing biracial kid complain that their white mother or father is racists,, it's because they are not with these black people for love but for servival and these black men and women are dating and marring them like crazy.

This black lady does not know our history In Jamaica, maybe she live in farin too long. - Jamaica is becoming very diverse, our latest census shows that. Most Jamaicans are ethnically mixed, even though we have dark complexions. - Our dialect and pronunciation is based on the African languages coming together as the slaves tried to learn to communicate, Irish and Scottish pronunciations from the overseers on the plantations as the slaves tried to learn English. I personally have visited the Scottish countryside myself and was shocked at how much their accent sounded like Jamaican Patois. No matter how people try to deny, it will not change the fact that Jamaican culture is mixed with influences from Africa, Europe and Asia. The Caribbean has a mixed heritage, end of story. Africans should stop trying to claim our cultural heritage as their own.
That's your first problem, right there. You made the same mistake as the Chinese-Jamaican woman, by thinking that our patois language is ONLY about a damn accent. It's more than that. The way that our patois is expressed is VERY African. It's just about an accent.
Jamaica like other Caribbean islands has high number of West and Central African roots. I don't see any African country building roads, housing projects, giving money, sending Jamaican to university. Africa is rich but not doing anything for it's people outside Africa.

Distorted view using rose coloured glasses!?
The africans in Jamaica were from many tribes and spoke different dialects so they had to find a way to communicate and that was how patois was formed and it was also so that europeans could not understand them also there were European words in the recipe.
taino Indians , irish workers, arabs and chinese all had a hand in creating the language because they were all here at the same time. not just african. you cant claim it all.
@@BO_Riddle It was only African at that time .Some African were mixed with Taino that runaway to hills. Maybe has time went on other influenced the dialect.But Arab had no influence on the culture.The other non African groups came after slavery ended.
@kayjohnson9786 you don't know what you're talking about. Arabs have influenced with food example Syrian bread which is famous in jamaica. Chinese indians portuguese were there during time of ending of slavery hundreds of years ago. Plus some blacks even came AFTER the chinese and Indians. I suggest you read a book on the history of jamaica and caribbean or Several!

White washing garbage.
People get confused between race and nationality. They are two different things. Races are definitely related to a place, but it has nothing to do with whether it not you were born there. Nationality has to do with where you were born, regardless of your race. Africans are of the negroid race. Chinese people are of the mongoloid race. Europeans are of the Caucasoid race. Each of those races originated in different parts of the world, Africa, Asia and Europe respectively.
So to be of particular race it matters where your people and your DNA originate from, not where you were born. I was born in the United States. I had my DNA tested and nothing in my DNA test said indigenous American. The majority of my DNA said different regions of western, central and Southern Africa, even though I have never been to Africa. So even though I have never been to Africa, there is no way I can deny being African or of African descent. If that Chinese lady were to take a DNA test, I seriously doubt it would say “indigenous Jamaican”! I’m sure it would say China and/or some other Asian regions. I think most Jamaicans DNA test results would be like mine, mostly African, since the Jamaican population is about 90% black.
Now your nationality, meaning where you were born has nothing to do with your genetics. It has to do with birth place and culture. So yes, there are cultural differences between different black people based on where they were born and the same goes for other races. Some people may choose to only identify with their nationality and their culture, some people may choose to identify more with their genetics. I just think that all of those things matter. Your nationality, your culture and your genetics all matter equally to me.
As a black person walking around being treated the way black people are treated, I cannot deny being black because my skin says so. I choose to identify with all the aspects of me, the African part, the American part and I also have Portuguese and Spanish genetics, and I can identify with those culturally as well, because it is also part of my culture.
So I say, people can identify with whichever aspects of themselves they choose to identify with, but they cannot dictate to another person what that person should identify with. So that Chinese lady cannot tell a Jamaican person that they are not African if they choose to identify with that aspect of themselves.
Jamaica is predominantly black however there is many mixtures of other ethnicity let's put it straight secondly they don't like for Clemson and Jamaican but then the African descent they don't like the black people dem
Jamaica - out of many people is actually diverse…… She is saying the accent is similar to Iris… yes the dialect is mixed up with West African heritage
What’s the issue - African Americans doesn’t say they are from Africa --
Jamaica wasn’t divided - it’s multiracial
Son, if you are getting paid to start drama stop it. She didn't say jamaicans are not Africans. She said our dialect is Irish, and she is correct. Stop making videos on jamaica and choose your own country. The cadence in our language is Irish. Irish indentured servants taught jamaicans English. We use alot of Irish words in our language and not even know it
The Asian woman isn't wrong about the Irish origin and dialect. But you can't discredit there was much more Africans brought to the island who were forced to harvest sugar cane down the line....
What are African talking on behalf of jamaican
😂 😂 thats what I would like to know. They think they can claim us bevause they are black but you notice they never claim Haiti ,
@@BO_Riddleprobably wants a Caribbean passport.
Every blackman and woman is of African origin.
On the entry to Jamaica, by law, if you enter the island with anything other than a Jamaican Passport, you are subject to the whims and fantasy of the immigration officer just like any other other country, no matter what you might say or think. I would suggest you download the laws of the Jamaican Immigration Act.
Thank you. The Chinese-Jamaican is providing rules to enlighten people. Rather, people want to cuss her and boast about how they can beat the system.
It is very difficult for Jamaicans to really say which ethnicity is the strongest in us unless we take a DNA testing. We are a mixed-up race. Even for some persons who may look black, white, Chinese, or Indians, that is what we see now because of our current parentage. But our motto is true, out of many one people. I am a Jamaican.
Im a born Jamaican, not an African. Im an Irish decents as well as an Africa decent.
You are not Jamaican... so stop it
@@TomoC_2023 Oh they are Jamaican....so get with it
I AM--AND WILL ALWAYS BE JAMAICAN
NOT AFRICAN MANY JAMAICANS ARE MIXED- VARIOUS RACES
OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE--JAMAICANS
Well sweetheart unfortunately the same for African Americans but African DNA trumps it all 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 FYI Your language has West African also. Jamaican’s , Ghanaian’s history tells a story. IJS .
My Chinese sister battles identity in a manner that reminds me of The Afrikaner Factor in South Africa: When you have citizenship of one country with strong historic and demographic ties from your country of native identity. Pride and prejudice have been upgraded in subtlety and sophistry in our relationship with one another across colour, tongue, class and creed. This is the bane of social cohesion.
Jamaicans are not a continent . Majority of Jamaicans have african ancestry, but how is the Majority of Jamaicans living in Jamaicans don't live out african cultures or embrace the ideology of an African. The rastas are the ones who promote African culture. You have the maroons, but that is it.
The majority? I don't know about a majority.
@@cosmicviewer477 Bro your not Jamaican stop it please.
@andrewdawes it's too complex and where do you even start. Too be honest there will be some traditions the hard-core Afrocentric Jamaican might not stomach.
how can we live African culture?......we were taught to hate ourselves and all things African......there's a deliberate disconnect by the tormentors/enslavers/oppressors
I AM JAMAICAN I AM NOT AN AFRICAN, THAT IS IT 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
But we call the Jamaican man at the shop Chinese man and the Jamaican girl in Miss Jamaica Indian . Some Jamaicans love to say their background is Irish or Scottish . Only some melanated Jamaicans feel proud to say they are not Africans not knowing that they are actually self hating.
Yes, you're not because you're either Jamaican Chinese, Indian, etc. That's facts
Anywhere you go in the world you will be seen as Black
@@invictus4549black jamaicans ancestors were from ancient isreal,chased out of isreal by Romans and captured by Africans brought to Ghana Africa and sold to the White man in the Caribbean,so isreal is jamaican motherland is not african its jamaican, isreal
@@RichardWillis-fn4hg I feel quite woozy now. Ancient Israel?
the chinese-jamaican woman has a lot of nerve, she's RIDICULOUS.🙄🤦🏾
also, good video, you did a good job & it can, of course, fall into the "fair use" law category.
but you used a LOT of other people's videos & esp. because you used so much of the jamaican lady's video [all of which does leave room for it to be contested], it's a common courtesy to *give the name & channel name* or other direct website link to those in the video whose content/intellectual property you lifted in order to *give* commentary about it all.
and when you're respectful in that kind of way - whether or not your videos are monetized - there's a lot LESS of a chance you'll receive a DMCA take down notice.
so why not be kind & respectful and add their channel or other website name and direct link to the video description re: where you got their videos.👍
because even if no one has ever complained about you using their content [or complained YET] it takes only a few of those to happen to get your channel deleted by the TH-cam administrators - so why risk it?🤷🏾
The Jamaican dialect kinda sounds like irish fi true
the chinese woman is correct
Creole mix
Yes, Jamaicans and Irish do sound the same. However Jamaica is a mostly Black country with African ancestry.
Patois is English-based, but in terms of an accent, our African ancestry is more than an accent. It's even our mannerisms. The "kissing of teeth". The neck movements; The expressive diphthongs and intonation. It's all primarily African. Jamaica is strongly an African-descended nation. There is no denying that.
@@cosmicviewer477 white mans lies, they taught you this rubbish in school
Every one is African decent the whole world come from Adam an eve
An all blacks come from Africa not only jamaican
@waynetrotman2218 I don't thinking Adam and eve ever existed.
I'm never quite sure if I should be scared shitless or hilariously amused..
REPENT...!!!!
@@raw0001 Be hilariously amused....it's the more fun and safest option!!!!
Nonsense. That's your belief but that doesn't make it true.
To the content creator and all who disagree: She is not wrong about the race and motto! Jamaica's racial makeup is of African, Lebanese, Indian, Haka Chinese, Syrian, and White. 90% are of African descent with many mixed into that majority, and the remaining 10% is made up of the rest. What she is wrong about is Immigration telling people they have to leave. Once you can prove your citizenship of birth as Jamaican, they cannot ask you to leave.
🇿🇲 my Jamaican brother's and sisters mother's and father's don't mind this lady she's bugging
She is disrespectful though. She needs some to teach her real Jamaica history.
Stop commenting . You don't know our history She never said Jamicans aren't Africans.
How come people don't u derstand the difference between NATIONALITY and RACE We are AFRICANS Don't swap Continent for Island
Ethnicity is not on our birth certificates.
I am tired of typing in the social media space, that Nationality is different from Ethnicity!
Speak for yourself Jamaican is a nationality and the country is not homogenous. So it is inaccurate to say Jamaicans are Africans
@@kaedomoore4789 I know you are replying to the initial comment! Question for you. What is your ethnicity?
@@cognitionup5211 If you're tired, then don't do it. It's that simple!
I don't think you can look on the population of Jamaica an think they came from Ireland. That's absurd. They maybe a mixture of different ethnicity. But the African ancestors history is written in the looks of Jamaicans and its African. There us no other country That's more African than Jamaicans. 🫡
MY AFRICAN BLOGGER STOP SHOWING HER ON TH-cam AND BIG HER UP THIS CHINESE PERSON

thanks
@@beastkenyaShe is my aunt and she as JAMAICAN as any Jamaican.Who cares if AFRICANs think Jamaicans=Black😅😅🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲.OUT OF MANY ONE
@@Halfwaytreeclockwe Jamaican are black people. The other races are visitors. The original/indigenous people of Jamaica are black and they are still there to this day. This woman has Chinese ancestry she is not one of us, she and you need to tell your Chinese people to stop mistreating black people in Jamaica. Only the other races talk about the out of many one people motto, most Jamaican don't believe that motto and that motto is not Jamaica's motto it was given to us by the British/colonizers. There are many different races living in china but if I say china is a diverse nation those Chinese would be upset . Jamaica is a black country you guys came as visitors/workers. Stop disrespecting the Black people of Jamaica your people always disrespect black people you need to tell them to stop but you won't because they are your people.
@ou8r122 you are correct, American had that motto, but most Jamaican don't believe or like that motto it's mainly the other races that throw that motto in our faces and I have seen the interacial commercials also they are trying to get rid of the black race. They do this in the latin countries it's called whitening. They also do this in Australia and other countries and now they are doing it in Africa, American the Caribbean and other countries black people will never learn, I heard some white girls say the reason why they want black kids and marry or date black people it's because they want to survive ,this is why you see all these interracial marriage and dating. I keep hearing biracial kid complain that their white mother or father is racists,, it's because they are not with these black people for love but for servival and these black men and women are dating and marring them like crazy. There is something on TH-cam called the black wife effect where black women are marrying and dating white men and showing them off, wake up black people they don't love you they are trying to service Because after the third generation or the third generation that child does not look black.. Don't know what is wrong with black people but they will never learn . I don't know when they will ever wake up it's so sad.
This black lady does not know our history In Jamaica, maybe she live in farin too long.
- Jamaica is becoming very diverse, our latest census shows that. Most Jamaicans are ethnically mixed, even though we have dark complexions.
- Our dialect and pronunciation is based on the African languages coming together as the slaves tried to learn to communicate, Irish and Scottish pronunciations from the overseers on the plantations as the slaves tried to learn English. I personally have visited the Scottish countryside myself and was shocked at how much their accent sounded like Jamaican Patois. No matter how people try to deny, it will not change the fact that Jamaican culture is mixed with influences from Africa, Europe and Asia. The Caribbean has a mixed heritage, end of story. Africans should stop trying to claim our cultural heritage as their own.
98% of jamaican have 89% African DNA.
THIS: "Africans should stop trying to claim our cultural heritage as their own." 💯💯
@@PuddlemudSoapery bullcrap
That's your first problem, right there. You made the same mistake as the Chinese-Jamaican woman, by thinking that our patois language is ONLY about a damn accent. It's more than that. The way that our patois is expressed is VERY African. It's just about an accent.
Jamaica is African and Africa. Soon it will a member of the African Union. (AU) to affirm itself as an African Country.
Jamaica like other Caribbean islands has high number of West and Central African roots. I don't see any African country building roads, housing projects, giving money, sending Jamaican to university. Africa is rich but not doing anything for it's people outside Africa.
It is sad to read some of these asinine comments, it really showcases how uninformed and lacking of comprehensive skills most commenter's are.
Thanks for a thoughtful comment.
You want handouts...BIG UP AFRICA
@islandboi2130 jamaicans ancestors were from ancient isreal,chased out of isreal by Romans and captured by Africans brought to Ghana Africa and sold to the White man on the Caribbean,so isreal is jamaican motherland is not african its isreal
You don’t know your bible or history to say that Israelites are not Africans. They came out of Egypt. Africa. Same people. Ethiopia. Kush. Israel was north east Africa before they separated it with the canal and calling it the Middle East when all that land is Africa including Yemen and Sadi Arabia

In school we education our Jamaican students of the different nations that make up "Out of many, one people" I am a black woman but my grandparents are Indians, Chinese, Europeans and African. I am black and can only claim Jamaican. I told people it is unfair to the other ethnicity in me to only claim African descent because I am black.
People who live in the Caribbean are all West Indians, (we live in the West Indies) with different ethnic backgrounds/ancestral lineages… respect and love to all my Caribbean people…
Absolutely! They are West Indians.
Do you know how it came to be called the West Indies? I am an African Descendant. I am a Jamaican. The majority of Jamaicans are African descendants. We were kidnapped from Africa. Now if you and your family members were imported within the last 100 years then you may not be an African descendant.
Do you know how it came to be called the West Indies? Columbus called the Arawaks and Carib people Indians because his non- navigating self thought he was in India. I think your comments are anti-black.
@@Tanniab09 I am certainly not anti-black … do you know where the word “Indian” came from?
