Thank you for taking the time to make this! I found this video by looking for more information about Irish people in Jamaica, actually because I'm Irish and Chinese-Jamaican mixed. Regarding the point about endentured servitude, even while having both ethnicities I actually didnt even know for certain whether or not that applied to Irish people in Jamaica or if we were working with the British colonizers at the time. I had a feeling we were servants, I just had not looked into it - but obviously its not the same thing as what the American slave trade turned into. Looking forward to learning more about the histories of my ethnicities and how they fit together. Also, I'm glad you mentioned about the accent, I've always thought that. My grandmother has an Irish accent and my grandfather had a Jamaican accent, and I always felt there was many similarities..

@@maryjs4878 The Irish were pretty well accepting of other's is what im saying and Phil by culture and partly race was very much Irish. Im glad he walked this earth and blessed us with his talents as man partly Irish myself.

@@maryjs4878 And you know Blacks are not the native people of Jamaica? Everyone says Jamaican and they just assume black. Id rather leave race poloticing out of this and hope people could just be people. I never said he was Jamaican but Irish, dont worry I already know you got a Bigot mind.

@@jamesspencer1997 wtf. Whos saying that black people are native to Jamaica???? You're so obsess of Jamaicans. Why are you so obsessed of Jamaica? Black people in Jamaica are NOT minorities, they are the majority.

I worked with Australian Aboriginal children in north west Western Australia. The indigenous people there speak several languages including Kimberly kriol, a patois language. When I turned on my Dublin accent, they could understand me better than with the standard Australian accent. Apparently the original Irish priests and nuns gave them many linguistic features. There was also a gold rush that attracted hundreds of Irish men and they married or cohabitated with the indigenous, Irish names are common.

This was such a good interview lool oiii mi leg

That took mi out 🤣🤣

[@allmightybeaver]

I saw a comment on another completely unrelated KZbin video, something about the Jamaican accent being influenced by Ireland. I’m so happy I looked it up and found this! It’s also really cool that you lived in Newfoundland. I’m from Cape Breton and we also have been heavily influenced by both the Irish and Scottish immigrants. Small world!!! Have you ever taken the ferry to Cape Breton?

Noiceee that makes me happpy that I was able to go this video. I’ve never been actually but would like to visit one day 😊

Okay so this is interesting to me because I just found out four years ago that I was Irish Jamaican well my grandmother was Irish and I had no idea until I got older and after she passed and I'm curious about my past my family's past my family's history so this video means a lot to me

Black Irish are White and the term Black Irish refers to Irish people with dark hair and eyes; not Negroes!

@msaccyps7230 I don't repeat someone's narrative just for the hell of it. I have done my research and listen to documentaries on Celtic / Gaelic countries to edify myself rather than listening to some dunce Afrocentrics; they are famous for whitewashikg history and putting themselves in other cultures where they never was in order to feel like some sense of self worth in Black and accomplishments! Every intelligent person's know this about Ireland and the originals. Do your research and stop embarrassing yourself on social media; it makes you look like a complete dunce!! BTW. If u have Prime app watch hisof Ireland or just Google it! SMH

[@celticmulato2609]

@@msaccyps7230 The term Black Irish was a myth used in the 19th and 20th centuries by Irish-Americans to describe Irish people with dark features, such as having dark hair or dark skin, or both. The myth proposed that these dark featured Irish were the descendants of Spanish sailors shipwrecked during the Spanish Armada of 1588. Wikipedia

[@76ludlow]

Unless I'm mistaken, Irish and English are both co-official languages in the Irish Republic, though English is by far the most widely spoken. Irish is the native language, but also an offical language.

[@PatrickMurphy-z1k]

We should be honest in history. Jamica was a British possession. Irish Army Regiments, under the British Empire, were assigned there in the 18th and 19th centuries. This is the primary reason why many Jamicans of African descent have Irish DNA. These relationships were both consentual and non-consentual. Clearly, the Irish-English accent has had an impact on the Jamican accent. This is why there are so many Irish surnames in Jamica. That all said, being an American and of Irish descent, I love the Jamicans and have always enjoyed my friendships with Jamican immigrants in the states and people of Jamican ancestry. Plus, Guinness and Jerk chicken 🐔 make for a fine dinner. ❤

That's because Jamaicans are Irish, Scottish Highlanders abd Britons/not British. Of the United Kingdom. Thwy were/we were exiled by Oliver Cromwell in the 1600s. White and black Scott, Irish, Brit and French. Patois is a French word meaning "rough speech" actually it is Broken Dialects.

The original people of Ireland were Black, which was all shipped to jamaica and most of the Caribbean mainly Montserrat, and were sold as slaves, kidnapped as well. Dublin means dark skinned "black" they have many of this info in many books.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! The 1st official language of Ireland is Irish Gaelic. The 2nd official language of Ireland is English. We speak English as our first language, but that doesn't make it the first official language. Also Correction. . . . Ireland is relatively Large! It is the 20th largest island in the world.
