Thanks Derek, I believe you are on to it, there is the connotation of the word swagger and then the denotation. The way it is typically used is more cool vs arrogant, if I can clarify what I stated above. I just don't know what exactly it means. </div></div>

Swagger is more of an exaggerated display of confidence normally to describe one's "walk or gait"... ie John Wayne's style was referred to as a swagger... similarly the stereotypical style of a late '80's pimp could be described as a swagger.

on another note, why is it that *african americans* even though born in an english speaking country can't master the language? and where do they get computers from?

<span style="font-style: italic">run gawn</span> </div></div>

Don't Jamaicans speak patwa. What a silly question! I guess West Indians should be chided too for not speaking 'proper' english?

I think swagger just means style, nothing to do with attitude or arrogance at all!

Be careful what you say Sue: We just had a big thing here in the US where they were being divisive with saying immigrants were making things hard for black americans and tried to turn it onto black immigrants. As someone with JA parents, I'd like it to die down and the sentiment to go away!

Stop with the foolishness! Afterall, Afro-americans are in a much much much much better situation than the average Jamaican living in Jamaica. As for the computers comment? How stupid, but maybe we can donate some to little little POOR Jamaica!

Re: What is swagger?

please!

it's that little hip hop step - shaking IT down

where the ipod is playing and you step out

in all your jamaican glory - respect around the world -
bob marley

and you, your wife and kids

are sunkissted, protected and love

and you can walk down the street with a swag

and just feel the groove
