You finally deserve to be made a moderator or an administrator KD. Look at all the praises you've received on this fantastic, brilliant topic.

After all these years and being topman in postings, have you ever asked for that position? I see many other less favourable posters who've received the honour here.

Take it the best way you can. Typically not in support of you.

Why is it so impossible to believe that people lurk for years sometimes before they decide to post?

I am one of those who lurked and since I've decided to join, have never looked back. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I have been embraced by this wonderful community everysince. It sure makes me ashamed to have stayed away for so long.

You may refer to them as white, hardly anyone else does. Yes manley was a white Jamaican. He had blue eyes, didn't he?

actually, it is kindof weird that you mentioned race in the jamaican political context. where Manley was widly accepted as poor people prime minister and 'one of us', Seaga was not even though he was not a caucasion.
This 'black man time now' talk was used by Manley's former right hand man and successor, Patterson, in order to control the minds of the undereducated voting populace.

Remember the media uproar of the 'black' scandal bag talk when Seaga held a plastic bag in his hand(which happened to be black in colour) and called the PNP party a 'scandal bag govt', in order to talk about the various corruptions and scandals carried out by Patterson's govt?
what did pj do? implicitly called seaga a racist for using a black scandal bag. [/qb]

Which of the Manleys was white? None of them as far as *I* can remember, maybe Edna.

..going back, I remember Norman when he used to come to West Kingston to hold street corner meetings. Used to attend with my father when I was a very small girl a West Kgn, and I can see Norman right now, a man almost as black as my Dad.

There was a documentary on him on CIN last night and he did look black as I remember him. 'ere's a pickcha of him and a likkle excerpt bout 'im.

13. Manley, Norman Washington Manley, Norman Washington, 1893-1969, prime minister of Jamaica (1959-62); father of Michael Manley. Of Irish and African descent, he was educated at Oxford and became an internationally known lawyer. He founded the moderately socialist People's National party in 1938, and, with his cousin, Alexander Bustamante, domin...




Don't let the pic fool you, he was very dark, maybe from sunburn..[b]

If he [Michael,] is even 1/16th black he is black by US jim crow standards, the same for the offsprings..so there.

Great thread dajah. oono dun tell fi mi storie many times ovah arreddi. [/QB]

now look at confusion. you claiming that manley was black(wrong!) but edna was white. did u think bustamante was white? he was manley's cousin too.

seaga can claim the same if you are saying anything about 1/16 th black whatever. his heritage was of the middle east, but he had generations of jamaican ancestry too (oh forget that he was born in the US. his parents were jamaicans as are his other siblings).

point of the matter is, excluding hugh shearer and patterson, all polictical leaders of jamaica have been none-blacks. full stop.

btw, interesting that u used the US and jim crow standards when mariah carey is probably the only person on earth who would call her 'black'

i will argue this point no further.

Re: How has life bin...For you to live in your Black skin...OURSTORY

btw, remember that a Manley grandmother was a Shearer so Manley, Busta and Shearer r family....
