so why yuh debating again?

I am not debating..you and Wahalla asked me specific direct questions and I responded. If you don't expect an answer, don't ask direct questions.

2. My POV on this is not going to change. I see it differently and I am not interested in debating it.

“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”
― Albert Einstein

“Despite my firm convictions, I have been always a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.”
― Malcolm X,

Read my lips...the Jamaican (flawed IMHO) view of race is not the only way.

you still do not get that use of the term(s) in Jamaica is not only about race rather it is about appearance.

NO where did I say she was Lebanese...I was speaking of some of her ancestry. Everyone knows that Black people in the diaspora have ancestors from many parts of the world. Because some of her ancestors are Lebanese does not make her any less Black. What it with onoo why you are so ashamed to be Black?

Classic bait and switch

Another great photo.

At NO time did I say she was Lebanese. Nice try.

By the way RichD...Lisa Hannah is mixed with Lebanese...not Indian. Hannah is a common surname in Lebanon.

She is mixed with Lebanese.

I see we also have someone else wearing a blonde wig.


I had no idea we had so many blondes on the board.


Reading my lips!! Saying she is mixed with Lebanese is a statement about her genetic make-up. It is not the same thing as saying she IS Lebanese or saying she is not BLACK. Any fool knows that MANY Black people in the diaspora are of mixed heritage. This does not mean that they are not Black.

so i was incorrect when i interpreted your statement as refuting the Indian part of her heritage?

or it was just meant as an anecdote you thought you would share?

[Tropicana]

Two totally different discussions.

I stated that Lisa Hannah is mixed with Lebanese heritage and I cited her surname and a quote from The Gleaner to back that up. I believe her beauty pageant bio also said that but I can't swear to that for sure. This in no way shape or form means that she isn't Black.

What's wrong wid onoo anyway?

you used it to discredit my statement

[Tropicana]

You contradicted me when I stated she is mixed with Lebanese heritage and stated that she was mixed with Indian not Lebanese heritage and cited Wikipedia (A laughable source) to back that up.

Same blonde way you doubled the number of Haitians in the Bahamas by the way...

I have to throw that in too since we are talking about the accuracy of your information and reliability of your sources.
