I Spent a Day in Jamaica's Most Dangerous Slum

@@mialovestravel I've traveled to more than 40, including Jamaica and I've found good people and bad people in most of them. This may come as a surprise to many but I would have to rank the Russian people as some of the most hospitable. Many of the Jamaican people (and people of other countries) treated you well as long as you were spending money. I can only assume that most Jamaicans are in contact with tourists more often than most Russians, Bulgarians, Togolese, etc.

Over 4 kids were killed at the start of the year by gun violence in Jamaica , while they were on their way to school in a taxi that got shot up... i guess all these victims are criminals!

I'm a born American who lived in Jamaica 20 years. I met my wife in Westmoreland and our 14 year old daughter and 9 year old son were born at Cornwall. At some point i was in Flanker every evening buying ganja and juice. If i did not show uo the Flanker people would call to check on me. Solid people there for sure. My family migrated to my home in America last year. I'm now worried about America and the violence there. For the most part Jamaica is a place where problems won't reach you if you are not living a street lifestyle. I actually knew my neighbors in Montego Bay and Kingston. We all looked out for each other always. Jamaica changed me for the better and i supposedly came from the best. I love the country and the people to death !

I mainly stayed in the resort because I was a brand new traveller but I did get off the resort for a bit and was so surprised at how kind everyone was.

Even Jamaicans wouldn't mess with Haiti. I have never heard of a Jamaican that would go to Haiti

[@unruly7516]

Haha your funny, a lot of Jamaicans go to Haiti when they are running from the law in Jamaica, some have even gotten in to problems over there, I remeber I story that came out where a wanted man from Jamaica was hiding in Haiti, so he sent his cousin or brother to go get some guns on a trip from Jamaica to Haiti , the Haitians killed him, the Jamaican that was on the run then went on a killing spree killing over 4 Haitians , then they eventually killed him also. Usually business go smoothly, because of mutual respect. please don’t do that, Jamaican do not fear people and we don’t compare I don’t get why people like to compare to us, Haiti is no joke but don’t compare. If you need me to I can definitely find the video, it’s on a channel called politriks watch, he covers a lot of the gang problems in Jamaica, that was more than two years ago, can tell you a similar story when the shower posie came to Miami and the Haitians robbed a couple of them in a drug deal, the tivoli man came back and killed 5 Haitians, the rumour was it was dudus.

jamaicans go to haiti all the time.

[@beatrice123ful]

I’m Haitian and Jamaïcains always go to Haiti. What you need to do is keep Haiti out of your mouth

My Jamaican friend goes to Haiti regularly. You sound ignorant

I stayed in flankers when I went to Jamaica. 🇯🇲 I experienced life for a week there. My son had the pleasure of staying there for 3 weeks. No issues but I couldn’t go anywhere alone.

[@JohnMoore-xf5wy]

Haven't been since 1987. Prior to that I had several wonderful visits. I love the people and the food! Both were wonderful!❤

Why the false thumbnail of a different country? For views? These people will do anything for money smh.

[@Tameka876]

All of them a run come jamaica to get views

[@miahconnell23]

@@Tameka876 there exists a film called “Life and Debt” that is very insightful: it shows how international money-lending from governments and NGOs affects we regular people. Spotlights the cause-and-effect cycles and things that demand notice & attention. Is it a movie about Jamaica ? Or is it a film about post-colonialism ? If people “run-don’t-walk” to click and like everything Jamaica-related, then it’s probably pound-for-pound the best filming-with-explaining available. If I feel tempted to critique the young traveling man who made this here particular video--for making something short that doesn’t address the big issues affecting the West Indies, I must remember: someone else already made the deeper, heavier, film. People come-running to click all Jamaican things: well, i think you are right: This island nation does enjoy and maintain a very positive reputation in all other parts of the world. Seriously: if you ask Americans, Russians, and Asians, most won’t know anything about Anguilla, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago, etc. But they will recognize Jamaica and wish Jamaicans good things… 🙏📿 [my well-wishes & prayers ? Pay the entire nation for the bauxite mining, and return Jamaica’s soil. Abolish the Kingston Free Zone, and document all the reasons such a district hurts humanity. Record the story and give a scholarship to every man, woman, and child who is selling oranges by the armful/bagful. Protect Jamaican farms even if they don’t generate money: one cannot put a price-tag on food independence.] ❤🇺🇸✈️🇯🇲

Some of the subtitles are not correct. for example at 12:44 when the guy is asked if he owns a gun he replies 'no, a machete', not 'why should i?'

[@NicoleCzarnecki]

I notice that many people who harbor resentment against Drew in the comments really seem to be harboring resentment against Jamaica’s less-fortunate people and are just taking out their resentment on Drew. Jamaica’s classism against its poorer and more-vulnerable residents is not the fault of any KZbin vlogger.

Jamaica is a very dangerous place for Jamaicans but not for tourists

[@twinny234]

Hmmmm

[@VaultYT.]

@@twinny234I wouldn’t say safe is the right word but it is normally a trouble free visit for tourists.

@@VaultYT.Safer than where you are! Only Jamaicans who aren’t safe are gang members and criminals!

[@cleo63100]

Only Jamaicans who aren’t safe are criminals and gang members! All people in Jamaica are much safer than those unsafe places they keep quiet about. They’re too busy promoting their propaganda and false narrative about Jamaica!

[@rapidpower5651]

Very eye opening video! But the people seem in good spirits! I cant imagine how hard it must be. Thank you for the video! ❤

[@paytton3332]

I really love how you’ve been determined since starting to visit every country! I am a woman and would like to do the same thing but i’m sure i’ll experience many challenges along the way especially considering my gender. But, I hope to achieve this and hopefully encourage more women to travel to countries that may not be considered the safest:)

[@kwacou4279]

Why choose the poorest community in Jamaica to say that's how Jamaicans live outside of the resorts. Just another youtuber looking for views rather than showing the truth. Next time, highlight Flint or Detroit Michigan as an example of how most people in Michigan live.

[@ryonwhyte]

Exactly what I thought. A bunch of these just popped up out no nowhere. Must be some sort of campaign

[@Adam.C218]

Relax bro 😅 emotional as hell. White boi probably just thought if he goes to the poorest place he’ll fight the typical stereotype ppl have when they stay in the rich side of the country

Get in right there’s many beaches in Jamaica that Jamaicans can go for free. It’s the ones a resorts they can’t access unless pay or staying there. Apart from that there’s others the can go for free all over the island some you pay.

[@MrRideslowrx]

I went to Jamaica every year with my family for over 25 years. They had a home up in the hills on the west end of negril. We had many close friends, both Jamaicans and others who had moved to Jamaica from other countries, amazing people. What's portrayed in this video is absolutely spot on. Everyone in Jamaica seems to be smiling and the general feeling is that those who live there have a very strong love for their country, but less so their government. You'll likely have no problems as long as you are smart about your actions and the areas you visit. BUT unfortunately we no longer go there. When my parents started visiting in the 1970s it was a different place, calmer, less developed, minimal crime. As time went on, development and crime close to home made us think twice about going back (three violent home invasions within 1-2 miles our our home. The harsh reality that those in extreme poverty will turn to crime to survive). My family ended up selling their home and we haven't returned since (it was turned into a beautiful AirBnb). I wish the best for Jamaica and the people who live there, Jamaica is like nowhere else on earth.

[@drewbinsky]

Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼

[@Yadiz]

False lol Jamaicans never violate tourist the crime is friends and family against each other or political visitors/non Jamaicans are never ever a victim. Come one find me 5 news article in the past 3 years where is has been proven a foreigner was the victim of a crime in Jamaica and notice I said proved, I’m not seeking unproven allegations. And then find me one where in the past 5 years where a foreigner/non Jamaican was killed I’ll even settle for a victim of a stray bullet.

[@kimmychoo4612]

You've summarized it perfectly!!!

[@Maitee35]

Here a cuban living in Jamaica for 24 years, Jamaican no problem man. Go and enjoy it the beautiful weather, beach, food and people. Just be carful where you go and who you trust. Look for info before reach. Viviendo en Jamaica por mas de 24 años, soy cubana y mis hijos nacieron allí. Amán su país. Flankers es peligrosos pero gente decente vive allí. Es como ir a cualquier lugar, mira a ver donde vas y con quien andas, busca información antes de ir. Hoy en día visitas a Europa a Francia y te roban hasta la ropa. Cerca de ahí está Iron Shore h Coral Garden muy buena zona bellas casas, inclusive en Flankers hay también, nada que ver con Haití. Love Montego Bay.
