Jah Yute set ya Black Histree munt ting...MUTA seh...

[Emperah]

De jamaican "Out of Many one..." is an american ting

Anyhow dis a de ting mi did waan yuh hear wah muta seh bout black history motnh being an american ting.

[jah_yout]

i don't know where muta's going with this one...i still think black history month is an american thing that should not be relevant in jamaica which is a majority african-descended nation;
the US is an african-descended minority nation...different circumstances...
i still also think christmas and valentines day& mother's day & halloween & all the other pagan holidays adopted from america are folly for jamaica to celebrate...
joke ting muta a deal wid when he suggests that we should celebrate that american holiday because we celebrate others too...

i don't celebrate ANY of them nor chant "out of many one people"...
he's still viewing himself through the prism of white supremacy when he makes that argument...

african history should be emphasized year-round in an african-peopled nation...

and his "chinese" history month analogy misses because a better analogy would be to call it "yellow history month"

Then why don't they call themselves Black?

Oh no not you too.

de school dem nah teach de yute dem any black history (african history) nuff a dem nuh even kno nuttin bout Marcus Garvey

[Tropicana]

I realize that but my point is that Jamaica still has a lot of work to do in terms of Black consciousness and Black pride.
