It’s interesting to hear how Americans react to Jamaican vernacular, mannerisms, food, etc. I’m from Canada, born to Jamaican parents.

I know this an old comment but as AA stop saying that. Jamaicans are not native to Jamaica they come from Congo, Nigeria, Ghana etc like black Americans. They're in the same boat they just have more black people on the island to push the culture as the standard of the whole country. We have a culture and a heritage. There is even a black American heritage flag that is red, black and gold and was created in 1967. There is tons of African American folklore like Big Liz, Br'er Rabbit, Uncle Monday, Annie Christmas, The Knee High Man, The Boo Hag. There is African American Fife and Drum music in Mississippi, Chicago Steppin, gogo music. There is a lot of culture in South Carolina, North Carolina where the Gullah-Geechee people.

I really like at the beginning how she said she immersed herself in his culture not just for herself and him, but for their daughter. Like, I've seen too many relationships where - either intentionally or unintentionally - one parterns attempts to erase the cultural background of the other partner, and that's not cool. Every child should know where they came from, and if they gravitate towards one culture more than the other, that's natural. But cutting them off from one or the other is just wrong.

On Sunday in Jamaica we listen to gospel music for the most part. If you go to Jamaica you will not hear only gospel and church blasting from every corner. In America people do different things.

When u chose to marry someone outside of your culture or country you have to give & take, accept. West Indians eat meals 🥘we don’t really eat junk the only thing is patties or KFC. Also, every West Indian don’t speak the same it depends on where u from in Jamaica. I don’t like ackee & Avocado, stuff the most Jamaican eat but it don’t make me no less West Indian, food is a matter of preference. I love anything pasta 🍝 you needs to embrace & learn to speak patois & to understand especially if you’ve been with him for a while. Yankee/America’s speaks ghetto & Ebonics. southerners have there thing as well. Plus, it just like a Spanish person going back & forth from English to Spanish, it just comes natural. Heavy manner is to have someone in control. It sounds as if she doesn’t respect your culture. I know interracial couples who embrace their spouses culture way better & they speak a whole different language. U should have picked up a few words by now. Patios is just broken English. Jamaican live in church, Christianity is a big part of West Indies. We listen Gospel & maybe slow jams on Sunday’s. Saturday is usually cleaning day. Your husband’s live style doesn’t represent a typical Jamaican. I was born I JA but I’m more American than Jamaican because I did all my schooling her in NY.
