[@latoyabaker6302]

I am Jamaican, my family and I usually visit 3 times a year. We stay at resorts but we used to support the locals. We now stopped the reason for this, the locals over charge Americans for EVERYTHING. I asked a driver to take me from S hotel to KFC 15 mins drive. He charged us $75 us dollars. If they are selling mangoes on the side of the road and we go to support, they would sell 1 mongo for $20 us dollars. They are my people but they are big time scammers and this is why now I refuse to support them.

This happened to us in St. Lucia. One lady wanted to charge me $5 U.S. dollars for a tiny bag of chips. I was planning on buying some products to support her but I simply walked away, her loss. They just believe that just cause you live abroad you are swimming in cash. 💰 They don’t realize it’s a true sacrifice for many of us to take a vacation. It turns me off when I feel scammed by people. But it’s poverty and high inflation that makes these people so desperate, still don’t justify scamming others.

[@agent7947]

My family does their weekly shop in Mo Bay. Despite being so aware of some certain truths it is still upsetting to hear how local vendors struggle. Next time I'm in town I'm going to seek out Clover. The so-called Hip Strip should be completely redeveloped and shop outlets provided to local craft vendors and not the current Indian/Chinese/Lebanese-owned outlets selling over-priced mass-produced crap you can get anywhere. Jamaica is stunning, but it has its problems too I just wish the parish authority and tourist ministry would do more to improve for locals like Clover. Oh, and don't even get me started on the fact so many of those beautiful beaches you mention are NOT available for local Jamaicans to use

[@beerman204]

What a treat to see the woman displaying her crafts and horse made from wood, etc. at the beginning of the video. I was in Montego Bay recently, as well as Ocho Rios. It seemed to me that the great majority of tourists place themselves inside the "Sandals" type of gated restorts, and spend little time in the larger native communities....so that small shops do not get the traffic they deserve. At least that was my experience, and find it sad that there is not more retail economy available and active outside the gated resorts.....this shop keeper woman tells it from her heart and from truth to power, everyday shopkeepers who carry the heritage of Jamaica suffer the big money interests takeover since covid and before....if you travel to Jamaica please visit the native shops outside the fanciful gated bs.......

The black in the flag is not hardship or problems. That is a misrepenting the meaning of the flag. Black is not associated with darkness and negativity. Please let the Rabbi and the world know: "Black depicts the strength and creativity of the people; Gold, the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; and green, hope and agricultural resources."

[@Den-gz4yo]

exactly

[@madspliffer1]

I was hoping his misconceptions would be addressed.

[@Lo51848]

Right. The rabbi puts jerk sauce on falafel and calls it Jamaican kosher, his knowledge of Jamaica stops at the sauce and red stripe and caters to Jewish tourists. My, long time I’ve been in MoBay, what happened to that place? way back then it was cool we had ital food from the rastafari and they knew what the colours meant

[@veef1039]

Really could have done without the Jewish segment. He changed the narrative when it came explaining the flags 🇯🇲 colour! As person of Jamaican descent I always thought the black represented the people. Let’s hope they do try and “occupy” Jamaican land!!!!

[@Old_Geezer]

Segregation basically. My wife is from a very small Caribbean island and along with her fellow islanders has also witnessed how big money is used to exclude the local population from their own beaches in their own country, as have I, and it's disgusting. It has destroyed what was once such a friendly, safe, welcoming and simple country as well as it's natural beauty. Security is one thing but when it morphs into blatantly dividing and excluding the less financially fortunate (read local people) it's something else entirely. Bob Marley would be appalled I'm sure. Any tourists who experience this kind of deliberate exclusion should never return until the authorities outlaw this kind of thing. They won't of course, because the corruption pays them better than representing their own people's interests and defending them against foreign takeovers and theft and domination. What I can never fathom is people who go to foreign countries and want nothing but "sanitized" pretence and absolutely zero in the way of cultural experiences that define the nation they have been allowed to visit. I'm not saying you should wander unescorted into areas known to be dangerous to outsiders in any country but that beach looks so sterile and devoid of any kind of real Jamaican or even Caribbean experience - because it is and I don't mean that to be disrespectful to the employees who I am sure are good, honest and hardworking people who are backed into a corner. My own experiences as an expat and traveller could fill a book on this kind of distasteful commercialization for profit and it really doesn't benefit the visitors or the host nations in the long term.

Yes, yes Jamaica, Clover is a character we have been to the craft market in 2019 and met her, she really make you want to support the local traders. This was pre Covid and the cruise ship was in. We loved it cannot wait to go back ❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲great video btw @davidsbeenhere, yes people do think scotch bonnet is hot😂😂😂😂

The rabbi minimize the significance of the color black in our flag. 90% African decent pop. He just brush that aside . Anyway great video highlighting Jamaica. Nuff respect. Blessings

Just found your channel and have subscribed as I find you down to earth and a great personality, really cute too. I'm originally from Jamaica now in the UK and thanks you for your content so far, and can see why people would take to you.

Although I was raised in Brooklyn NY, I was born in Jamaica and am 63 years old, I have never associated the black in the Jamaican flag with negativity. Traditionally, yellow symbolizes wealth or gold, green represents vegetation, and black signifies the people, akin to how white represents the white population in the USA.

[@vernonvpacpro1870]

Very well said. This was a misrepresentation of the description of the significance of the black color on the flag. @davidsbeenhere This part of the video should be removed out of respect for the Jamaican people.

[@Den-gz4yo]

The black represent the power of the people to overcome struggle. The black means power

[@Maria-np2ms]

I am Jamaican and I am not sure where black ever represented black people. You clearly have lost your roots and have zero understanding of the Country you claim to have come from!

[@TKL77]

I was looking for this comment. Black in the flag represents the people, period.

[@lsalmon907]

I love Clover, she's my type of sister! David you've gotten a little history from a very warm hearted Jamaican. We little, but we talawah! No where like Jamaica! Warm people, unique culture, beautiful, beautiful beaches and amazing landscapes with exquisite homes in some AWESOME neighborhoods. WELCOME! WELCOME! WELCOME, we are happy to have you, ENJOY!! ONE LOVE ❤

The first lady that does the local craft has blessed hands. Beautiful finishes. Because of her now I'm interested in visiting Jamaica. I really liked her. If she (Clover) is Jamaica, Jamaica is a jewel.

This is awesome video. Next time don't eat the Scotch Bonnet seeds and just cut a little piece 😁 curried goat comes through our Indian heritage. We have the curried mangoes, potato, cabbage, dahl / dhal /daal, curried chicken, roti, pumpkin also 👍🏽

David, you’re doing a great job. I hope one day when I’m vacationing in Jamaica I come across you.😀

[@rickflint3710]

What the hell is that American Jew talking about “ black in the flag is for the problems in Jamaica “ ? Black in OUR flag represents the dominant black population ! Don’t know why David refers to him as a Jamaican rabbi . 🤔

[@charmainethompson1319]

Maybe because Jews from Portugal came to Jamaica in the 18 centuries fleeing from prosecution. That is why you can find Jewish schools, that were build by them , cemetery and Synagogue.

yo when he said that about the black i started to laugh im a british Jamaican and i always know BLACK REPRESENTS THE PEOPLE...

I like and admire the Jamaican people, but I have traveled all over the Caribbean for work and pleasure and the only place I ever felt in real danger, was in Montego Bay.

[@Timetravel755]

How so, I'm just curious?

[@ralphholiman7401]

@@Timetravel755 , my wife and I were walking around downtown Montego Bay, and my wife was taking pictures with a pretty nice camera. We picked up a tail of three pretty tough looking Jamaican males that were following us, but trying to look like they weren't. I'm retired career federal law enforcement (FBI and DEA) and I was working Jamaican posses in Baltimore at this time (in the early 90's) and I told my wife, "We are one wrong move away from getting robbed." Then we saw a tour group a block away, and we just went and joined them and the three walked away. But, it was close. The thing I do love about Jamaica is how polite everyone is. They are raised that way, I guess. Even the Jamaican gang members suspected of murder, that we interacted with, were invariably the most polite criminals I ever dealt with. They might kill you, but they will never be rude to you!

U was in the ghetto part while it was hot maybe but over all u must be careful everywhere u go in the world

[@ralphholiman7401]

@@artworkshop586 , I agree, and that's the problem with being a tourist. You often don't realize you are in a place shouldn't be, until you are in it. That's as true for New Orleans and Chicago, as it is for Montego Bay.

[@artworkshop586]

@@ralphholiman7401 well your in the future use ur smart phone look up local news and ask the decent locals what they think ? The good thing is Jamaica still one of the safest countries for tourists that I know of but if they can trick u out of money they will and feel no way about it because they think foreigners will get back the money some way lol but enjoy Jamaica is say Kingston way better and safer for tourist and will appreciate you more Montego bay folks are so use to tourist some lose the love and see them has equal which can be not a good thing but Kingstonian will be happy to speak to outsiders there's beggers everywhere tho give not much and don't speak has if ur financial well off been cool get one genue friend and you will enjoy ur time one love 🇯🇲💪🏽🌟
