This fills my heart with so much joy. The original meaning of Jamaica is jama ya ka (which in the Akan language means ‘maybe we are stuck’). Jamaica and Ghana have a lot in common. They even look Ghanaian. Their festivals and food are similar to Ghana’s. I pray the scales on the eyes of the Caribbean people will fall off and they begin to embrace their ancestry. God bless Africa🙏🏾

if you look at a well known Jamaican like Usain Bolt, he looks like a person from Senegal, you can tell his ancestors are from Senegal or Sierra Leone even.

[@rtsoca5560]

That is such a nice thing to say! Senegalese are lovely people

[@kwabenaasante1908]

Malcalm Baxter most likely his ancestry is still not primarily from Senegal as many Senegalese or even Sierra Leone tribes wasn’t taken to Jamaica compared to others. Realistically speaking, bolt can indeed have Senegalese ancestry partially (let’s say more or less %8-10%) however his ancestry is still gonna be from where most tribes were taken to Jamaica which historically hailed from Ghana/Gold Coast and Nigeria/Cameroon/Biafra. However, despite the high possibility of most Jamaicans having Ghanian ancestry today, none is purely or solely from Ghana as Jamaicans are a mixture of many of the aforementioned tribes/regions in their respective combinations. It’s just common for Jamaicans to assume they are from Ghana because that’s where most of their visible culture and history derives. Lastly, I think it would also be subjective to say Usain Bolt looks Senegalese, I live in nyc and seen on many occasions Ghanians that could easily pass for Bolt, in both mannerism and looks. Not to mention I’ve seen many Ghanians who look just like Senegalese and vice versa. Senegalese are just typically taller than Ghanians.

And the most annoying part of it is they don't know it hot to dislike someone's content because it takes guy time to make this video and even the old man and woman.

You have to realize that black americans and any black person that migrate to america is constantly being conditioned and programmed. Blacks who migrate to America, e.g Jamaicans, trinidadians, Ghanaians, Nigerians are able to break away from the programming because they are connected to their home countries. Their thinking is very different from a black american. So i encourage black americans to adopt a african country or black country to get themselves unprogrammed.

Jamaica is exactly like Ghana just that it's way smaller

[@stevenbarrett4110]

Maya you made this video just for me. I love everything about this couple. Here is the deal: The British long ago established a Museum of some sort, to highlight their involvement in slavery; and their records state that almost all the slaves they brought to Jamaica, came from Ghana, (I learned this from KZbin actually). That is why, just as expressed by Naomi, I see striking similarities between both of our people. I know without doubt, that none of us could determine each others nationality, without hearing the accent. I am 67 now, and though I love Africa dearly, and particularly Ghana, there is no sense in relocating at this stage in my life. However, African Americans NEED to relocate. After emancipation we Jamaicans, and other Caribbean people who were enslaved by the British, were empowered to start laying foundations however insignificant, toward independence. Emancipation in the US, was a charade. African Americans have never known true freedom, have never been allowed to breathe, and it continues until today. What has, and continues to be, in America, is a travesty, and an abomination. I will come back to this another day. Is it enough to declare a year of return? My view is, the majority who would gladly return, are poor and haven't the resources to sustain themselves until established. I encourage Ghana to examine that. In the meantime, peace and love to my family. Love blackness. Love Africa, regardless.

Until Africa gets her act today and define the direction she wants to go by the people coming together to chart the way forward, she can't be of help to her family who desperately need her help. And I'm a Nigerian living in Nigeria so I know what I am talking about.

Embrace Pan Africanism!!!!!! When she said that I screamed!!! Unity is the only thing that will save African people around the world.
