[@Lindswill177]

As a young woman who recently travelled to Jamaica, the narrative that Olivera was pushing is just plain false. Yes,you need to be safe and watch your back, but I felt no different than if I was in downtown Toronto! What I did experience was incredible men and women offering me food and water when I was thirsty. Complimenting my dancing and clothing. Children making me bracelets and wanting to play games with me. I have stayed in contact with some of the families since. I adored my time in Jamaica and will be going back.

[@molluscumlore]

Yeah, like there's not all the same amenities you see in places like america or canada but being like "omg look at these bullet holes what a sick violent place!!" with an audience full of americans is fuckin laughable. My sister lives in a cheap neighborhood and regularly hears drivebys, and it's not a particularly big city even. Go out into the country far enough in the right direction and you'll find places with unreliable access to electricity or active kkk sects. Into the wrong part of a city and you'll find food deserts. But those don't count towards america's reputation ig

[@Jane-oz7pp]

fr, people are people everywhere, the good and the bad

[@JamSome]

I'm Jamaican and I'm not going to sugar coat it and tell you straight up if you're a tourist you're going to be treated way differently. Those kids that made bracelets for you treated you like that because either you're white or they know you're a tourist. I migrated from Jamaica to Toronto for the same reason Tyler showed in his video because Spanish Town is a very violent and crime ridden place. The difference between Toronto and Spanish Town is that there is never a time where I couldn't go to school because the police blocked your neighborhood because they're looking for one person that decided to shut up a police station. I have way more confidence of going outside pass dark in Toronto than in Jamaica. This ain't me saying that there isn't not one good soul in Jamaica but to say Jamaica is like Toronto is completely false. Toronto and Jamaica is like night and day it is completely different.

Finally someone makes a video about this guy. I first found out about him like 6 years ago when he was an incredibly small KZbinr with like less than 50K subs, the only reason I knew about him was we were both UCLA Undergrads back then and he “blew up” on campus for making dumb “prank” style videos around campus. I never really followed him too closely as I found his videos annoying/clout chasey, but I remember when he posted his dropping out of UCLA video and at the time honestly wished the best for him. Whenever I would remember about him I would check his YT to see how he was doing, and for the first few years after dropping out he became a mr beast clone, and I honestly felt bad but saw he had become somewhat more popular, then out of nowhere I start seeing him in my recommended with 1+ million views and was surprised, and after watching a few of his videos over the last few months, its honestly sad what he turned into, and Im so actually so happy people are finally calling hime out for what he is. I always hated how in every video he states hes “looking for the truth” but it is incredibly obvious he wasn’t, and the video that pushed me to the edge to realize how much of a POS he is was the Columbia univ. vid, where he actually references his UCLA dropping out video I watched so long ago. Though he likely wouldn’t have been as famous or making as much money, he would’ve benefited from some critical thinking skills if he gave college more of a chance.. let’s just say seeing what he turned into makes me happy that I stuck to my academic goals, I graduated with my BA and now have 2 master’s degrees and soon starting a PhD, all at UCLA. Thank you for making a video exposing this clout chasing agenda pushing loser!

Thank you so much for covering this Saji, as a Jamaican viewer of yours it means a lot. As Jamaicans we more than acknowledge the parts of our island that are dangerous, just like every other country. We are not perfect but our sense of togetherness is really what keeps us together. He literally shows everyone in that video being kind and accommodating, even the very men who were about to rob him. Going out at night, putting yourself in danger just to purposefully and maliciously push an outdated narrative is nothing short if evil. He would have gotten the same treatment in America as well. Going into a community with a troubled past, trying to build towards a better tomorrow and claiming that without your Jamaican guide your would have left limping? Bffr. Anyone walking through any unknown community would be wary, in JM or US, but seriously? They would have left him right alone or even yet welcomed him💀 I didn't even bother to remember his name, but this truly isnt any form of journalism.

Sure, they happen in the US and in every other country as well. But to equate the two places is being incredibly dishonest; the US has a murder rate per capita of about 4.96 per 100,000 people. Jamaica, by contrast, has a murder rate of about 43.9 per 100,000 people. That's almost 9 times higher.

[@JamSome]

Growing up in Spanish Town I kind of understand why there's so much crime and violence in the country. I've pin all the blame on our government that doesn't care about the Jamaican citizens and mostly care about tourism. The Jamaican government spends millions of dollars on tourism instead of education and jobs for citizens. When a country doesn't have a lot of jobs for people the citizens of the country are forced to do unlawful stuff to pay the bills. The two corrupt Jamaican government parties have been messing up the country even before our times.

[@ScouseJazmin]

I went to Jamaica when I was in 2015 to visit my foster grandmother. While crime is very real, the constant emphasising definitely serves an agenda - so many of the resorts in Jamaica are USA-owned, and the guests are basically terrified to ever leave the grounds outside of expensive tour groups, meaning they spend more money at the hotel instead of at local Jamaican places (because god forbid tourism actually benefit Jamaica). I never stayed at any hotels, and the worst thing that happened was getting some glares when I held hands with my girlfriend and getting overcharged for a taxi. And honestly, homophobia and overcharging definitely happens in expensive hotels too 😂 Like, just follow the DBAI rule and you'll be fine. Jamaica is beautiful, both inland and on the coast, and the fearmongering really means people miss out.

[@Kass_me]

As someone from a third world country, I can see how my country could be showed off as violent as he makes Jamaica seem. But when I live here, the very tragic and violent events are easily nothing compared to the community , people and places you can visit.

Yeah I’m Haitian American and I can empathize with Jamaicans on the demonization of our countries. Like yes violence is a problem. But it’s important to understand that locals are just locals and don’t participate in the violence simply because they are from a country known for it. It’s literally just anti blackness because he thinks we all look the same and behave the same. I’ve seen countless of videos like his from other white KZbinrs with a clickbait title like “I went to Haiti’s most DANGEROUS city” and when he speaks to a Haitian man he is literally surprised by that description because there are plenty of other countries that have violence in them.
