This guy is the most progressive man in Jamaica

[Stonigut]

Just beat it! don1

[Mosiah]

Most of the intellectual & leadership base of Jamaican self government/self determination/political party formation/independence/self identity/founding state institutions/solidarity with Africa & other developed nations etc....emerged from the Drumblair Movement.

That movement was led by N Manley who surrounded himself with his school ites like N Nethersole...and that grouping sparked the making of the entire Jamaican nation state.

As to Cbar...unnu have a respectable lineage...but nuh bodda come try tes' di Gorgon. Dat laughable

Brown man (did) rule! Thank God for the new batch of progressive browns, like Dr. Carolyn Gomes, Michael Lee Chin and Shaggy!

The trouble with Calabar is, not enough brown people went there like some schools!

[Rockman]

That was the least of their worries,the school is simply not old enough for Norman Manley to have been a student.

[Stonigut]

Mosiah you dangerous!!

This is quite true... Brown Man Time Run Di Cut..The facts are the facts.

Mi dun show unnu how Babylon set up JC 100 years ago.. when it moved from kuntry to town....as the national intellectual & managerial leader so their shitstem in Jamaica could be best "managed"

The point though is within 40 years of being so set up...our Brown Man Time Cohort overturned the Babylon Political/Economic/Cultural/Spiritual Domination of Jamaica....Ok...scratch "Economic"

No other group of whatever pigmentation is even close to our contributions in establishing the Jamaican nation.

You may now bow...an' kiss di ring

Haffi stap.. run out of hard drive space pon di Forum...

LOL --JLP Talking Points tuh di Whirl!!

Whatever good the DayWalking Vampiya may have done, or that may have occurred during his tenure...His most long lasting & impactful "contributions" to Jamaica have been:

Creator-in-Chief of the corrosive Garrison Culture ...starting in West Kingston

Promoter-in-Chief of conflict & division ...

Aiding and abetting foreign powers to destabilize a lawfully elected government


Per World Bank studies...Jamaica's culture of violence results in a -5% GDP haircut annually..... over 40+ years that's ~US$60 Billion in lost income. The Vampiya responsible fi 50%...minimum or US$30 Billion

The value on the lives lost & damaged & national reputation trashed due to his role in fostering violence & division....Incalculable

The less said about that varmint...the better

[Muadib]
