Lorna you are so right I really remember as a young girl out Jamaican dollar was so strong over the US, I remember those days there are gone will it ever come back ? when you look at our country we are our own enemies because as you said our motto is out of many one people. Jamaica not build up of only Black people we have so many different race within our small island we need to embrace that and unite❤❤❤❤

@@blackallday she's Jamaican (a concept). Jamaica is only a concept of bringing different nations together to make one. The problem the descendants of slaves have is not knowing who they truly are. So they hold onto calling themselves Jamaican and not Hebrew Jamaican just like how you have Chinese Jamaican.

@gohsenglin4486 Жыл бұрын

The term "Jamaican" refers to a person's nationality and not the race. So, Jamaica consist of african descent Jamaican, chinese descent Jamaican, east indian Jamaican, german Jamaican, jewish Jamaican etc. So, Jamaica belongs to everyone who has Jamaican citizenship not specifically to a race in the country. It is multi racial.

I have always considered Chinese Jamaicans to be an extremely valuable part of the island's history and culture as well as its economy. I wouldn't want a Jamaica without them. What annoys me is that Chinese, Lebanese, Syrian, Indian, European etc Jamaicans seem to be made to feel they have to prove themselves to be authentically Jamaican so they can be patronized in their own country.

@caribbeanvanguard Жыл бұрын

Afro-Jamaicans were on the Islands 340 before the Chinese appeared after slavery for indentured work in the cane fields. They were reported to be crafty and not want to listen to anyone. They left the field and started businesses. How is it we allow them to make themselves equals? Do you believe any Jamaican can try such a thing in China or anywhere? We are putting our youth in a bad situation. Has Lorna addressed having China Town in Jamaica? Why not?

Exactly. Jamaica was fine the way they were with all the different cultures. It was not until outsiders who does not know anything about the Jamaican history,start to put their own spin on what or who should be considered Jamaican. Anyone who knows the history of Jamaica would know the truth of why the majority of people there and other Caribbean countries are of African descent. The Caribbean was never African origin. It is the land of the Tainos.

As a former Jamaican History Teacher, I am disappointed with the current general knowledge of our History and sociological development. The current curriculum NEEDS to be REVISED. This needs to be addressed urgently. I am upset with foreigners [Continental Africans in particular ] making divisive comments and piggybacking our videos to get cheap clicks to boost their KZbin channels. Read a book, OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE (Our Nationa Motto) has deep historical and sociological significance) so don't ignorantly spew nonsense about other people's country and culture! Jamaicans, PLEASE don't make the USA and Africa force their divisive labels on us. We are Jamaican and couldn't be prouder!

Ms. Lorna Chin, I just want you to know that, as a mature black Jamaican American, I respect and appreciate all the many contributions you and your ancestors provide to all facets of Jamaica's life over the many, many decades. Please do not allow the ignorant black Americans and others to get you down since obviously they do not understand the real concept of our Jamaican motto. I remember in the late 70's when I was attending Holy Trinity Secondary school we had a few Chinese students in our class who were just as regular as the rest of us black students. We played together and got along just fine with each other. If I remember correctly, I believe their names were also Chin or some hyphenated version of the name. Listening to you talk about Jamaica's history and culture you sound more Jamaican than I do. Lol!🙂. If you were born in Jamaica and raised in the culture, regardless of your color, you are a Jamaican, full stop! Keep your head up high, my fellow Jamaican sister. All true Jamaican love and support you. One Love, indeed!

"Out of many one people" I'm a black Jamaican and love and respect my fellow Jamaicans Chinese for their contribution to our culture. In music, business politics etc etc. It's only an ignorant person would think the Jamaican culture is only of African people. We are a mixture of many different people. This makes us more a vibrant, rich culture. The Jamaican Chinese are descendants from the Hakka Chinese ethnic group in China. My fellow Jamaican Chinese brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters as much as my African Jamaican. I'm so disappointed that Lorna has to respond to such ignorant perceptions of the Jamaican Chinese. Hello people, black people are not indigenous to Xyamaca. ( Arawak spelling of Jamaica). We are all transplanted from somewhere else.

They are the descendants of the slave masters who in many changes their family name or turned it around to mislead the masses of their involvement in slavery.

As a Jamaican living in the Uk from parents of the ‘Windrush’ IIE 40s to early 60s, I can relate to Lorna Chin’s sentiments of ‘sending them back home’ I have lived in the UK since 1969 having to live through the struggles of racism etc. The new influx of Jamaicans coming over since the 90s have the mentality that they are superior to us and do not identify themselves with us as Jamaicans. They say we are not Jamaicans but say we are British/foreigners and not Jamaicans. They create gun crimes amongst other crimes as affiliated with the ‘Yardies’ therefore we too should ‘Send them back.’ Reasons being, they socialise in their own groups. They only attend each other’s functions etc. Basically they live independently of the settled Jamaicans. However, they will marry the settled Jamaicans just to get their residency status and or passport. They create many children only to then divorce the settled black Jamaicans and leaving the marital home with several children now left in a broken home only to send for their children and partners in Jamaica.

Lorna is so right about everything, including the history of the Chinese and others who entered Jamaica back in the 1800s. It is true every word that she mentioned. I watched a video at the back end of August this year where they showed what happened in China with the Hakka people her ancestors and the Japanese people too who along with the Hakka people were forcefully removed to other Carribean Islands Canada and to Jamaica 🇯🇲 who were Indentured slaves. Some more arrived as they heard of work opportunities in Jamaica Some, who arrived with the Chinese, were also Africans who were living in China, and some were mixed race black Chinese people who arrived in Jamaica 🇯🇲 from China. There were also Irish who were Indentured slaves before the Chinese arrived in Jamaica along with the Scottish clans who arrived due to the Island clearings by the British in Scotland, and then the arrival of the Indian Indentured Slaves who later arrived on the Island. It was the Irish who taught the Africans to speak English. Therefore, this is why we pronounce some of our words the way the Irish pronounce their words. Also, the Spanish and Portuguese were in Jamaica long before Britain 🇬🇧 and before they took over from the Spanish after several wars between themselves. Some Chinese left for the USA once they could afford to leave Jamaica and keep their Jamaican culture in the USA. As Lorna mentioned, the Chinese had to learn to speak English on arrival to Jamaica and immerse into the Jamaican way of life. Yes, we also pronounce some of our words in Spanish, too, and German, because there were also Indentured German Slaves in Jamaica after the war with the UK. So Jamaica is a very diverse country this including the first nation people who survived when the Spanish arrived on the island. Many ran away with both the Spanish and Maroons up to the hills of Maroon town/Cockpit country and other areas, when the British and the Spanish were fighting. So, many, including my family, are also mixed with the Arawak, Taino Indigenous people who did survive when the Spanish arrived in Jamaica and many died from common colds, flue and other illnesses brought into the country by the Spanish and other Europeans.

One of my daughters who is born here in America is also well educated on world history her history professor once threatened to kick her out of his class because she called him a idiot became the history he was teaching was incorrect. 😂 Lorna in the early part of this conversation you said you posted something and had ex amount of followers but now it surpasses the amount and you didn’t expect that.I’m taking it that maybe it’s your calling to become an educator/advisor for the Jamaican people to educate them on how to invest in Jamaica so that they don’t want to migrate abroad. Where I live in America it’s a lot of Jamaican teachers and nurses living and working here because their salaries in Jamaica doesn’t cut it.when I was a child in Jamaica in the late sixties I remember a period of time Chinese kids couldn’t go to school and places were burnt down I never understood why. When I got older one of my uncle explained it to me he said the Chinese people came to Jamaica and set up shops in black people neighborhoods but refused to hire black workers in their shops they would hire them to clean their houses and cut their lawns but not in their shops so the Rasta movement got tired of it and told the Chinese that they must hire black workers and give them a certain amount of time to do so and when they didn’t comply the Rastafarians burned down shops houses and the Chinese got scared and didn’t send their kids to school. I know you might be offended when people don’t recognize you as Jamaican but don’t be you know what you are just educate them. I wouldn’t look at you and assume you’re a Jamaican because you do look like a Chinese/Asian person that’s no disrespect. Here in America if I don’t talk people assume that I am a African American but I don’t get offended by it because I embrace my African heritage.The entertainers in Jamaica especially dance hall need to understand copy rights/ the business side of their music.Hip Hop and Dem Bow (Shaba) all derived from dance hall music one love mi yard sista.😁❤🇯🇲

Lorna Chin, you have to accept the truth. Physically, you look Asian. Every human on Earth first would say you are Asian. I am Spanish of Nigerian origin. Am Black in a White nation. But people here in Spain don't seem to believe l am Spanish! This is not racism. It's normal. So try politely to explain your origin. I love you.

Physically she is Asian . Her nationality is Jamaican. End of story

What dont you understand, never did she deny being chinese, which is her ethnicity.She is claiming her Jamaican nationality, and culture two different things

No. That's not normal! In a democracy, who you are is nobody's business, but your own. It's societal structural racism. Do they ask a non-black visitor (tourist) if they're Spanish. No, they don't. If this inquisitive racist wants to know your status, let them covertly enquire without being starkly confrontational. Eg. your accent should be enough, that's it!?

@saranwright7113 Should be "physically she resembles an Asian person." Asia has many nationalities with people being of different stature, complexion and facial features. These features are also common in some former Russian annexed countries, those with the "stan" at the end of their name!?

Lorna we are with you as black Jamaicans,at the heart of it,because of contempt for Africans, blacks seek self esteem which can appear to dominate. Arguably there is an universal anti black sentiments. However people like Lorna a great Jamaican 👍

Ì also saw the podcast with lorna saying Jamaica is not an African country. Of course it arose my attention because I am aware of Chinese Jamaicans for a very long time and their cultural contributions to the world. However this interview was very informative and Miss Lorna had won my heart. I am very proud of her and everything she said . Rastafari. Stay Jamaican all the way.

I really love this interview. This lady is highly intelligent. I seen her video before and yeah, I was probably one of those critics, but it’s always good to get inside. Look on our history actually played out. I am one of those Jamaican who left and live in Canada and believe me I hated it here, live here for me. It’s like living in a prison. I’m not happy, but I’m here because I have a family. I have kids, but there is so much opportunities in Jamaica that other people going there and taking advantage of when we get left outside.

Ms, Chin is truly is Jamaican who know her country’s history very well. Jamaica is going backward, not teaching their young ones their civics. However, things will not change for better, since man has dominated man to his injury. Jamaica and the rest of the world is badly damaged. Mankind cannot make the change we need. Only our creator! This is the “Last Days”, as the Bible shows.

She is absolutely right about china buying up land. It happened in Canada and that is why our real estate continues to skyrocket. Truth is, *THE SELLER$ ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOUSE AND LAND INCREASE BECAUSE OF GREED* it’s NOT Jamaican Chinese that is causing this problem. Thank you Ms. Chin for educating us.
