Hmmm, well, Jamaica is my favorite vacation destination and there are many islands that I can choose from.
I've always felt welcome at the resorts that I choose. And, when I return to these resorts the Jamaicans working at the resorts always remember my name. The Jamaican people make the resorts what they are...1st class.
Now, granted, I'm sure I'm receiving a sanitized version of a Jamaican experience, but I always spend time talking one on one with each worker at the resort that I come in contact with and make idle chit chat, discussing life in general, family, work, politics etc. I enjoy the conversations I have. And, always, ALWAYS thanking them for making my experiece what it is.
The resorts and the experience is how I came upon this site....lol So, you can damn them, because in some sense they are responsible for me showing up here and being a pain in the a$$...but just the same, respect.

Home grown blacks in the US are not Jamaicans. There is a difference. But, everyone sees color, the question to ask is do you see another person behind the color. I always treat people the way they treat me. Or, the way I would want to be treated.
