Do You Think Jamaicans Like I When They Are Called Africans?

You don't mean to flatter yourself, do you?, mana Donzman obulu ni nomso ntichagife eh!.

Ahh, You no fit!

Why is black on black crime so prevalant 

well, i don't know many jamaicans or whether they like africa/africans or not. but see marcus garvey and bob marley and them. they proud'a africa.

people (americans usually) think i'm jamaican or caribbean but they mostly say "jamaican" because that is the first caribbean country that comes to their mind. i always clearify them by telling them that i'm nigerian. even tho i was born in the states, when people ask me where i'm from, i always say africa/nigeria first. they later find out that i'm also american by birth, and they wonder why i never told them. i'm just too effin proud to be a nigerian and try to keep african friends. when i went to Nigeria last, i picked up fast and came back wit a little accent that i tried to keep because i was too proud of my heritage.
my friend was surprised when i told her i was nigerian. she told me that she's been telling people about her jamaican friend "me". it's not "offensive" to me, it's just that she was wrong and i had to correct her.
ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE AFRICAN.
MORAL OF THE STORY: ALL CARIBBEAN BLACKS ARE AFRICAN, BUT NOT ALL AFRICANS ARE CARIBBEAN BLACKS

all the while when i was in college here, when i speak they tend to ask if am from jamaica, ''you from jamaican? i love your accent'' i smile and tell them no am from nigeria,

i believe we all the same no matter how we modern african refuses to accept it.

let's be proud of our african origin and stop being at loggerhead.

Those darkskinned people from PApua New Guinea and Micronesia are they black 

wamppun to you jammin? whats poppin, how J-Rock, I wish i get money, i would come there, and not soft Montego Bay, but Kingston

IF i don't know anything about my prior roots, and i have created a new culture won't i identify myself with this new culture
Think of Tarzan, no pun intended

yeah they do they d'ont care all jamaicans know they african.

finemocha, be nice

because of their skin color. "if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck"
if they speak like an african, walk like an african, talk like an african, then geez! they must be african (whether they are jamaican or not)

@ neelsel
good for you. some people still think africans live on trees as monkeys. my room mate in college asked me once if we had beaches in Nigeria. i stared at her for a long time and afterwards told her, we didnt even know what a beach was, and would be happy to learn. she told me i was being sarcastic, but i figured if as a grown up you still believe africans are monkeys, then no need correcting you.

they should, we are all black

my little sis used to deny being african cus i guess in her school africans get picked on. i understand the case for little kids but being grown, you should know better than to deny your roots. back in high school, these two AA girls where debating whether they should be called AFRICAN-american or just Black. they claimed that they aint african so they should just be called "black". of course i said something. i asked them, what color are people in africa? is there color "african"or "BLACK". of course they answered "black". i said "ur black, they're black so what's the difference, "of course they aint had nothing else to say they said "well i still aint african!" some folks aint even worth arguing with cus they'll keep going around in a circle.

someone should bitch slap liberia for me, that hemaphrodite is pissing me off

there is a problem ? abeg tell us make we hear
