I guess them think them "better" because they were brave enough to hold off the mighty British army.
Although I respect thier pride and history I have always had some issues with them. The main thing is how they would work for the British against other freedom fighters like Bogle.
Regarding thier autonomy, one of these days the govt should offer it to them with the condition that as non-citizens they will have to pay separate duties , taxes, etc to use the facilities that belong to the Jamaican taxpayers."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment

They make a deal with the British to return ex slaves who escaped after the treaty. That deal place them higher that slaves.Originally posted by TDowl View Post
