Do BLACK PEOPLE Influence TORONTO the most ?

[@jm3850]

Not to mention the change in hair texture. Bear white and Asian boys getting curly perms to get curly ethnicity hair. It’s crazy.

😂

[@DiaM-e4p]

Black people, specifically Jamaican Canadians are 100% the true influence of cool Canadian culture. Period. I’ve watched my own culture of boys and men specifically following suit. Thank you for sharing your culture with us, even though it’s so terribly appropriated without the credit you all deserve. 💛Toronto wouldn’t be a recognized city internationally without y’all. 🤌🏾

Maybe in Toronto and the GTA but definitely not all of Canada

Thing is nuff people from the hood's eventually moved to the suburbs as well. You would think other groups who have way more people than us would be more influential.

That’s true too

The main thing we influence is the homicide rate, we influence a lot of negative things. This can change strengthening families

Big facts brother grew up with a lot of ppl from all different backgrounds who tried to imitate the Patois and a lot of the time it sounded whack 😂 you guys have influenced the city culture so much no one can take that from you. 💯

Real Black Canadians exist. The influx of carribbeans in the 70s absorbed us, many of us also mixed with you. Also, many of us multiracial because we’ve been here for hundreds of years so we may not look “Black” to you. But we were representing before you got here. My cousin on the $10 Bill.

[@caramelcomplected]

@user-us9qr8pr2n Black people have been in Canada since the 1800s, thanks to the underground railroad and abolitionists from slavery. This also includes the Black Loyalists in Nova Scotia and there was Caribbean influx during that period as well.

[@Mrbiggntall]

Bro back then the hood was 90% black Now 90% Indian....look at the west end

[@caramelcomplected]

Yes. Urban centres aka the Cities and even some remote/rural areas are influenced by Black culture. It's the current trend and has impact worldwide, one can even argue.

[@Flyerdenahpigeon]

I promise this isn’t a trend, we as a people have and always have been influential!

[@mixmasala9158]

Definitely, Jamaicans have influenced the way we talk here in Toronto especially the youth/teens/young adults ..There are even Patois interpreters for Accused/witnesses for Toronto court proceedings, if needed or requested by the court.

[@whatviky7569]

They want our rhythm, but they don't want our blues.

[@intrekidd]

100% on JA influence culture, especially TO slang. Another ting is ppl (white. black & brown) who ain't from the hood wanna be in that life cuz it gets glamourized through social media, music & videos. Ppl from poverty who really live through those tuff situations strive to make it to the suburbs with a good income which is the goal.

[@princess703ca]

#TALKTRUTH We are never one to follow back a ppl and that is a fact. WE ARE THE REAL INFLUENCER.

[@alkebulanlion6198]

Most def Jamaican culture swag slang etc. American culture ny changed the world thou ny Bronx

[@is2fiftyslowfsport744]

Here's the real question, why do Jamaicans have such a strong influence in Toronto, i mean there's other people from the islands and even more people from all over the world that also live in Toronto and we don't even attempt to speak like them, the Jamaican culture definitely dominates Toronto and i can't understand why that is, almost everybody wants to speak Jamaican patois in the city and eat jerk chicken and rice and peas, oxtail, curry goat, beef patty etc nobody talks about doubles or bake and shark, pelau 😂

[@kameisha4eva2]

Jamaicans to be exact 🇯🇲

[@ronidanza1488]

Not for nothing Bacardi Slang helped moved the Toronto talk as well

[@wiseapprovals8209]

Thats a fact.

[@westendtdot4520]

We don’t own anything in the city and don’t even have an area to call our own, non Public Housing. So NO!

[@donnaherman3876]

Yes black people do influence the city or cities in Canada, it is what it is.

[@OakTree34]

If we can't find a way to monetize it then it's mostly irrelevant.

[@lilmilky]

friends copy their friends, its what people do, everywhere Jamaicans go people copy parts of the culture and make it their own because its cool beans. it can be emasculating to not fit in among peer groups, social media amplifies it, sometimes the results are okay, sometimes its goofy as fuck, its hard to be deaf and blind to whats going on around you and wanting to participate.
