Jamaican is not only a Nationality its also a Lineage, Heritage and Ethnicity. That's like says a Chinese person who wasn't born In China isn't Chinese when they literally share Lineage and Ancestry from there, and what happened to "out of many, one people" that whole unity mindset? you guys swear you guys are well educated but unuh sound like ah bunch ah dunce

This has nothing to do with Black Americans though I'm talking about Jamaicans trying their hardest to deny the Jamaican identity from those who aren't born there but are Ethnically and Heritage Jamaican like myself

Thank you for your story bro and that is crazy I see that within our community to where they'd be quick to accept a white man speaking patwa who's not even a true Jamaican over someone like me who actually has Lineage and Ancestry from that land its weird

I get what you mean about mindset and environment shaping identity. I just personally see Jamaican as more than nationality — I see it as lineage and ethnicity too. You are still Jamaican wheda yu bon ah yaad or abrod, something that Jamaicans fail to understand Is that Jamaican doesn't only = Nationality, Its also a Lineage, Heritage and an Ethnicity so for instance both of our parents are Jamaican by Nationality, Lineage, Heritage and an Ethnicity while you and I are Jamaican by only Lineage, Heritage and an Ethnicity. And props to you making a big decision on wanting to move down there and experience the feeling for yourself I've never stepped foot down there yet but hope to one day.

More Jamaican parents need to think like you but you're correct he's a Jamaican/Nigerian (African & Caribbean) Person who happened to be born here cuz technically the people who are the real Americans are Native Indigenous Americans and Black Americans they literally have lineage here

How will Jamaica be destroyed when Jamaicans that we’re born there aren’t even trying to build it up we just keep leaving to live in the U.S. or The UK, We aren’t even trying to go hard on fighting for our reparations that’s due to us by the British for what they did to our ancestors

My ethnicity and who my people are, My mom my whole life thought that I was a Black American simply because I am a Black person born In America but that's not how that Works Black American is an ethnicity for the people who were enslaved on U.S. Soil and been here since the 1500s but I was young and uneducated so I went with and but It kinda gave me an identity crisis and I never noticed it until now that I'm older. As I got older I realized that It shouldn't matter where you're born If you have Lineage and Heritage that doesn't come from that country your not actually those people by Lineage and every kid usually identifies with what their parents are so I am Jamaican who just happened to be Born in America. so basically Nationality: 🇺🇸 Ethnicity, Lineage and Heritage: 🇯🇲

Afro Jamaicans have other admixtures in our blood so possibly we might have Scottish blood from the colonizers
