I have wondered why others see us as different, more rebellious, outspoken against injustice, fighters! I have heard genetic theories put forth that we were exclusively selected from the most war like tribes in Africa, to be broken in Jamaica because our personalities and physical attributes, made us ideal to harvest sugar, to build the British empire.
What I have discovered is the total opposite, we are more rebellious, outspoken and fighters against injustice for a reason, and it had nothing to do with our genes being selective to make us as such, but it is the natural human will to survive pedophilia, rape, exploitation, mental and physical abuse that no other Island or nation in North, Central and South America suffered under the British slavery system,the side effects will be a mental reaction.
Jamaica in its history of slavery had the most revolts of all the British Caribbean colonies which included N. American colonies at the time of slavery. This was due to one fact, we had an attrition rate of 50 % of its population where other colonies expanded.
A tale of two plantations is my reference point to prove this. My thesis is any nation going through that kind of massacre, would go to war or revolt when it comes to its survival. The Arawak and American Indian is proof of this, they went to war when faced with the same predicament and were annihilated, to the point of being quarantined to reservations or they had to inter marry -Africans/Europeans to survive.
It has been argued that revolts led to the bankruptcy of Slavery, Jamaica played a huge part in that. As I keep telling my people, black America does not hold the lien of the story on African emancipation/civil rights. It’s another chapter in a book. We have a hell of a story to tell, if not many.
The residual effects of our revolts are poverty, illiteracy, disease and mental illness, put self-hate in that and of course continued revolts to this day.
We need to tell our story to liberate ourselves of cultural stereotypes that reinforce negative behavior, we were not more rebellious, outspoken or fighters against injustice, more than any other African group because of a genetic reason, but were children, literally! in a strange land fighting to know ourselves, against a slave master, that dispensed of us, at a 50 % attrition rate, which had our mentality at war from our youth with no adult guidance.
That mentality will develop children into a rebellious, outspoken culture of fighters against injustice in any environment. Worse yet children who are rebellious, outspoken and fighters for no reason i.e colonial schizophrenia
