ummmm...I'm well aware of where he is, and it's not for you to tell me who to speak to where when and how sorry sir.....nah guh keep send the man pm after pm of Caribbean related articles both passa passa and news lol, pictures, jokes etc etc which AGAIN is what this thread is about, when I can do what I did: create a thread for him to check out when he comes past the board,t hat I can just add to when I feel to....again, tho it was originally addressed to him it became more of a thread geared towards anyone here of Caribbean descent...who are you to tell me not to do this? I wouldn't grudge any American (or other nationality) here if one decided to create a thread geared towards other Americans (other nationalities) and American (*insert nationality here*) pride, etc etc etc why would I? No one should smh ....now, mi done addressing you on and in this thread, which you CHOSE to take up on your head tho it had nothing to do with you...you can keep your pm because mi naaaaah guh entertain your f*kry seen!
You know the saying 'see me but no see me'? Have a nice day!
btw...is not Egypt I live in, nor Egypt I hold citizenship with. *and nope, I'm not an American citizen neither, as I've stated before* FINISHED with this with you now, you 'ear!
T&R,
Did My ting gyal.
I am American with roots in the Gullah/Geechee culture of South Carolina which has historically been considered the Northernmost part of the Caribbean by culture.
Our pidgin language is very similar to your Jamaican Patois. The first slaves into South Carolina were the Ashanti/Koromantee. Iwrote about this several times. Our first lady Michelle O. is from the same culture.
My old college mate was Gullah. Not surprisingly, my Jamaican patois and her Gullah were very similar (with retention of our African and myriad of other ethnicities). There is a website with sound clips of the Gullah language. Sounds just like the people back home .
My s/o and I had plans to visit the Gullah Islands a few years back, but never made the trip. Interesting stuff indeed!
I guess they are the US equivalent to Jamaica's maroon population.
That's why I tolerate you. By DNA we are gentically the same. Look into it.
BTW, Susan Rice and NY's Gov. Patterson are of Jamaican descent
The Ashanti Spider was called Aunt Nancy in the USA.
EgyptSearch.com is an American website.
I ain't be mad witch yah.

Why should it matter, AL -LAT MA'AT? Whether it's black people from Kenya, Jamaica, Nigeria or the US, black people are accomplishing great things and should be recognized for their accomplishments worldwide. It's team AFRICA and it's diaspora not team Jamaica remember. I use to be tribal and think like you. I was only concerned with the circle of African Americans. But then I got older and wiser and saw the big picture. You're doing exactly what these azz backwards trolls and white supremacist want you to do - divide and separate black people on region, country of origin, color, hair texture, education, height, weight etc etc. I'm disappointed in your response.
