you are correct in saying this post is about Eniko
but unfortunately, it became about you because of the LIES you are saying about Jamaican culture and the fact that you keep pushing yourself up as the spokesperson for black people around the world (as I said, “you’re fired”)
You want to push AMERICAN concepts of race onto Caribbean people and I will not let you do that.
Yes, black people in Jamaica have admixture from other races, just like black people in America
but Jamaicans acknowledge those racial mixtures and if multiracial people want to call themselves “black” in Jamaica, everyone accepts it — and if they don’t, we accept that too
because we don’t “one-drop” anyone and call them black.
we’re not American or Guyanese, another set of racist people because the Indians are running things in Guyana and they don’t want to accept coolie people with African blood as “Indian”
@MISG, there is colourism ALL over the Carribean, the people are still BLACKS, light and dark in majority, so what?? Nothing new. You just proved my point the BLACK designation of Jamaicans is similar to the light skin and dark skin in African Americans. Encompassing 50 different skin tones. Its silly to spread that black Jamaicans only come in dark brown, that’s a slavery stereotype.
This video shows the diversity in Jamaicans, of different races. Indian, Chinese, Black, White

@MISG, these people ARE considered mixed Jamaicans

Mixed

Tami Chin, Tessa Ann Chin
*To be in the mixed category, you have to be really indistinguishable and racially ambigious. You cannot look obviously BLACK.
Those people are what we call “white” in Jamaica
Tess and Tami are considered “Chinese” in Jamaica, even though they are mixed with African and European
in Jamaican, Nell Robinson is what we call “white” or “brown”
In America, Nell would be called “black” because white people created the one-drop rule and because of her visible African ancestry, she would be one-dropped by both black and white American people.
Mixed-race Jamaicans learn quick that once they leave the Caribbean, their identity changes depending on the country they go to and they learn to adapt, like in the UK
@MISG, again the most reliable census is the Central Intelligence agency reports that list Jamaicans as a self described 92.1 % BLACK island. So the half caste black designated mixed slaves or immigrant children are in full effect and have been for centuries describing themselves as blacks.

@MISG, I am still considered BLACK in the British Carribean as well as everyone in my family and we have Indian, White, and African mixtures. The British Colonies in America and the Carribean have a basically unified view on race. If you have a black parent socially you are still BLACK. And stop using the one drop rule because the women I posted where majority African looking.
THAT IS A LIE ! I AM CARIBBEAN BORN & BREED ! CARIBBEAN Don’t telly you you are black if you are mixed ace absoloute lie you tell nah ! Black caribbeans are mixed & claim it So Stop lieing please!
@WestIndiangrl, you are the same as MISG, you signed on with a different name and you are trying to stir up arguments for untruths. I am Carribean born and bred too and BLACK. Yes that is what everyone is saying Black Carribeans are mixed just like Black Americans. BUT THEY ARE STILL CONSIDERED BLACK.
no dutty gyal, I am not WestIndiangirl
I don’t need to play games to call you out as the delusional dingbat that you are.
@WestIndiangrl, all the British Colony African slaves in America and the Carribean were mixed in slavery 200 hundred years ago. Making the black populations 200 different skin tones. But still BLACK.
The only unmixed black Jamaicans are called Maroons, black slaves who ran to the hills of which reggae artist Buju Banton is one of them .
@WestIndiangrl, it does not matter what you claim, socially you are BLACK, even if you are mixed. Like Halle Berry claims her white mom but she is BLACK socially and chooses to be. If you look African or slightly , you are BLACK.
midori, stop with your lies backfoot gyal !
trying to pass off racist American “one drop” views onto Caribbean people
Jamaican people don’t accept every likkle white man half seed as “black” — stop the nize, liar gyal
it’s because you come from racist Guyana and grew up in racist America, why you don’t know anything about the Caribbean.
and dear GOD, please leave the Jamaican Maroons out your dutty mouth because this is where you truly get into territory you don’t know anything about.
