Stop trying to seperate the two to make a divide amongst the community. Jamicans and blacks come from the same people as a matter of fact I am from a ohio and probally got cousins over in Jamica. Some of you African Carribean people are so brain washed by thinking you different or say your not black will make you better or superior than blacks. Dont evern try t o use that Jamicans are mixed so are black AMericans …from the looks of it Jamicans seem to more full blooded African than black which is not a bad thing; but if your going to throw in that mix excuse both groups are mixed with Native and white. The only differece is in America we play snear drums in Jamica ya play steel drums , in jamica you guys have rusta and we have muslim/ black panthers in jamica ya hav jerk chicken and we eat fried chicken. We are one … the only seperation is our culture and racism . I hate when I hear I am black and Trinadad , or black and Jamican so on… that mean your black
