So now the Maroons should give more speech such as this to let the world know who the Maroons are, people worldwide need to be educated as to the Maroons and their culture and beliefs. Medically world doctors need to understand that Maroon people do not like to take drugs as in pharmaceuticals, they are natural living and believe in natural herbal treatment. When Maroon we say we are Maroons we get raised eyebrows. I am from Portland. Please give more speeches on this unique set of people. We need more blogs.

What is obvious is the need by both parties, to meet in a public or private forum and clear up this wasteful classic PR mess. The media is also responsible for the mess at hand and must do what is right to make things right. Additionally, the nation obviously needs to be more educated on both entities, The Maroons and the current governmental system of our land.

Actually, it was a brilliant question. A master stroke of interview journalism. And, if it were really a stupid and simple question, the answer should have been straight forward with a simple, “Yes.” However, instead of a direct “yes, we are Jamaicans” he played the verbal meandering game of vocabulary gymnastics, then got himself twisted until she stated that he had avoided answering the question. The question is very relevant because it was Currie who declared the Maroons “Sovereign.” Now, if you understand the meaning of the word, it implies separate state, separate government; and, in most cases, separate nationality. Therefore, it had to be cleared up with that very brilliant question. And, for the record, there are no levels to the meaning of “sovereign,” as he is stating. That would be a first for the English language. And, we will not allow him to make up definitions as he goes along. He may actually be confusing “sovereign” with “autonomy” and “semi-autonomy.”

America has the Amish people who live separately. They have their own religious community. There are also many American Indian communities or reservations that are a part of America but these Indians have independent cultural rulers. Why are Jamaicans making a big deal about the Maroons? The government only wants to discredit them and take their lands. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. Holiness is the worse thing that has happened to Jamaica. A complete sellout of the people and the land.

That's Our Land ,we don't have to fight for nothing, international have no place,it's the Moroon land and thay are Jamaicans, Leave them alone, out of many one people,

[@theinvestmentcorner4914]

Maroons are as indigenous to Jamaica as every black Jamaicans. That alone should stop this dumb argument. I'm maroon And this is a dumb argument.

[@omarbarnes6665]

It is clear that there is so much he truly wants to say. But it would create more harm to them in speaking the truth ....... But make mistake he is prepared to protect his lands if he needs too ..

Can never understand Why TVJ All Angles, always post sounds bits, and never the entirety of the interview. You always have to control the narrative.

[@lornafullwood2476]

At least the media is asking the questions so now its clear what Chief Currie wants. Now all angles need to sit with The Prime minister ask him questions.

Good video 💞

Why this woman who did the interview like she trying to trap them depends on how they answer the questions. She needs to back them. If they choose to fence off their land, they can, because the government Andre him keep sending the cops on their land. They have no respect for these people. They also have the right to defend they land and them people at all cost. So she a ask questions like she nuh done know the answer to it already. She kinda ignorant. Glad dem answer her in a very intelligent way.

[@franzsmith6840]

He didn’t answer the question concerning being a Jamaican citizen

[@elainecampbell3078]

He did eventually!!

[@davidblake8439]

He did stop talk and listen

[@glenislorman1363]

He spent a lot of effort trying to go around the simple question. My impression is that he doesn't really thimk that Maroons are Jamaicans.

[@taniqueblake8717]

Wow I enjoyed this interview. I hope the prime Minister watching, that is how you have a intelligent conversation Andrew I just wish you go away.

[@xzing7]

The maroons are highly articulated and educated people's. Leave them be and go sort out your own back yard.

[@aloerichards2203]

These reason is why they seek for Jamaica to be a Republican state so they can change these rights for the people in the isle.
