[@brknhrt12]

I went to high school with many white Jamaicans also. Some were of irish decent, some were of German decent and also Syrian decent. They were the kids from families with money and privilege. There were afro dominant (black) children who were from affluent families also, if their families had land and/or business holdings. The Indians and Chinese were also quite affluent. For the most part though, the afro dominant children were from working class or poor families. I was from a working class single mom who herself is half local Scottish. She is now an octogenarian. When she went to high school in the fifties, the same one I later attended as a coed, it was an all girls school and the tuition was very pricey. She was able to attend because her afro ethnic family that raised her were land and business owners. In those days (thirties) the whites, local and otherwise did not marry the blacks for the most part, even if they were from well to do families. Some black families had land handed down to them from the plantation owners and started businesses especially grocery stores that supplied the districts in which they were located. In my case we lived near a sugar factory and the factory workers and sugar cane field workers were the primary customers. I recall this from my early years in the late sixties and early seventies. I was the cute four to five year old at my mother's feet in the grocery/bakery of which she was the proprietor. My mother never finished high school. Not because she got pregnant, she didn't, but because it was customary for girls to be groomed for marriage by a certain age so she was pulled out of school at about sixteen ( she could read and write and add/Math enough) to learn and manage the family business. She now also had a dowry to make her attractive to well to do suitors. She would come to the table with land and business and literacy. But my mom, bless her heart, was a rebel spirit and quite independent minded ( the Gaelic blood in her I suppose) would have none of that. Maybe she was rebelling because by pulling her out of school, they dashed her dreams of becoming a teacher or a nurse. Many of the kids in her circle went on to become teachers, nurses and bank workers and the boys became engineers, lawyers, dentists, police officers with rank and doctors. My father, his brother and brother's wife were some of that circle that went on to higher education and professional careers. My father was predominantly afro, with Irish and Indian decent. My mother married my stepfather in 1969 and immigrated to America in the seventies and sponsored all their children up to the states in the early eighties, including me. After her youngest teenage son and only child of five left at home, ran away to the Navy with his friends to escape the racism and racial profiling in NYC in the nineties, my mother went back to school. She did remedial college classes at BMCC and eventually graduated from the Beth Israel School of Nursing as an RN at the age of fifty. The story of Jamaica and it's history, culture and people is diverse and rich and beautiful and tragic and sordid. What an island.

Following the sacking of Limerick as a punishment to the people for resisting Cromwell. His forces rounded up 60000 to 80000 men from Limerick and Clare brought them to the Caribbean as slaves. Because of their white skin they became sun burnt and known as the Red Legs. Red Leg = Irish. That is why irish names such Sean and Rory are common there. A lot of Caribbean are of descended from both Irish and African slaves eg Rihanna. 1 in 4 Jamaicans are of 🇮🇪 ancestry.

The Jamaican accent sounds Irish because thousands of young Irishmen were exiled by the British crown after they rebelled in 1798. That's also why many Jamaicans have Irish surnames, because the only people the exiles would've been able to marry would've been black Jamaicans.

[@radiationbacon]

@UrDesignatedShooter very interesting stuff

[@mountain_manmoto5566]

@james dallen The Irish sl@ve trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as sl@ves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main sl@ves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish sl@ves. Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early sl@ves to the New World were actually wh!te. From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as sl@ves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well. During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as sl@ves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as sl@ves to English settlers. Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Sl@ves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish sl@ves were nothing more than human cattle. As an example, the Afric@n sl@ve tr@de was just beginning during this same period. It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated C@tholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts. African sl@ves were very expensive during the late 1600s (50 Sterling). Irish slaves came cheap (no more than 5 Sterling). If a planter whipped or branded or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African. The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of sl@ves were themselves sl@ves, which increased the size of the master’s free workforce. Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain sl@ves of her master. Thus, Irish moms, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their kids and would remain in servitude. In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women (in many cases, girls as young as 12) to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls with Afric@n men to produce sl@ves with a distinct complexion. These new “mul@tto” sl@ves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African sl@ves. This practice of interbreeding Irish females with Afric@n men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish sl@ve women to African sl@ve men for the purpose of producing sl@ves for sale.” In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company. England continued to ship tens of thousands of Irish slaves for more than a century. Records state that, after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, thousands of Irish sl@ves were sold to both America and Australia. There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean so that the crew would have plenty of food to eat. There is little question that the Irish experienced the horrors of slavery as much (if not more in the 17th Century) as the Africans did. There is, also, very little question that those brown, tanned faces you witness in your travels to the West Indies are very likely a combination of African and Irish ancestry. In 1839, Britain finally decided on its own to end its participation in S@tan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting sl@ves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded THIS chapter of nightmarish Irish misery. But, if anyone, black or white, believes that slavery was only an African experience, then they’ve got it completely wrong. Irish sl@very is a subject worth remembering, not erasing from our memories.

I’m confused as to why this video is getting so much intense hatred in the comments.

My whole life has been spent living in Canada, and I don’t think anyone would disagree with me if I called myself Canadian. Am I missing something here? Is this man specifically somehow a fraud? Has he not been living in Jamaica long enough to call himself Jamaican? EDIT: NVM, I just realized that these comments are all from the same troll account.

He went and gave me the rest of his lunch that he didnt eat. I told him that i couldent except it, because i'm not one to take hand outs. He looked me in the eyes and said " fuck you , you take it" " i grew up poor in Jamaica, i know hungry, you fucking eat , understand?" i burst out crying because i had never had someone show me such compassion, someone who i barely knew was willing to give me their food.

I see this video is quite old, I hope you and your dad are enjoying health, happiness and still have a close bond. God bless you.

Exactly. These comments are proof race is useless and all it does is divide us. I mean what do we get out of race? Profiling? Questioning people’s nationalities? we are all one. There is only one race and that is: the human race. I rest my case.

Some horrible comments in this section. Hes got a different accent, his skin colour has nothing to do with it. We speak like we do because we were were brought up where we were. Cant believe how dumb some people are. Great video guys!

yep one mostly gets the accent spoken in childhood of course it has nothing to do with skin.
