Aren't Jamaican women Jamaican? Okay how about Horace Campbell? He certainly is not high colour as oono love call it but he has been speaking about oppression in Jamaica for decades.

Doesn't it seem a little girlie-girlie for a grown man to be going on about oppression if he is one of the oppressors?

To a Jamaican, black is the literal color black. Anything lighter is brown. I'm sure you didn't realise you were a brownin. It's ok.

I know that this is how home grown yardies see it but I think it's ridiculous......and I am not a &quot;browning&quot; (whatever the heck THAT is) just ask xigaM and Derek.

Re: TG u still deh bout...rope in right yah now

BTW, have you heard of the Dorothy Holt case? An older relative was on a flight with her and her husband WAY back after she went to Jamaica to get married. (When she did tn up a Canada and dem see seh she Black showers and teas cancelled.) She definitely did not think she was Black before she hit Canada. BTW, her husband got fired for marrying her and there was a court case of some kind.

Then there was the Marzouca girl on the cruise ship who shunned other Black passengers and hung out with White guys.....she was put in her place when she hit the USA. I am speaking with a relative right now who has reminded me of these cases. (I ran Tuff Gong and makabush's comments by her). Were the Marzouca's one of the 21 famlies. How about the Hannahs?

I am a little confused....in fact i am a lot confused?
I am not aware of a particular colour or shade automatically computing to oppressor?
Horace Campbell an Oppressor I have zero evidence to say so.

Re: TG u still deh bout...rope in right yah now

My girlie-girlie comment had nothing to do with Horace Campbell.

I used Horace as an example that it isn't only light skinned people who talk about the oppression of Black people in Jamaica.

I then responded to your comment about it being &quot;high colour&quot;, privileged men you were referring to and asked if it were not a bit girlie-girlie for grown men from a privileged background (not necessarily high colour) to be hiding their status and spouting off about oppression. What is the point of hiding who you are?
