COMMENT TOPICS U WANT ME TO DISCUSS! Dont forget to like and subscibe as well

Love how u can be a comedian a actor and be so serious and well educated💯 big up yute🇯🇲🇯🇲

And this is why after 25 years, I want to come ah mi ras yaad! Being black in America is to be in a constant state of anger and it’s mentally and physically exhausting!!!

I'm black and from Jamaica. My worst experiences in America is from blacks, especially black Americans

Young Man !. 40 years later in the US still has NOT changed . I went to FL as a teenager and I experienced exactly what you went through. JA a the best . Let’s bless it up and pray that we can just get to a better level of economic stability.

Jamaica a paradise remove corruption and and crime and yuh find heaven

Americans on a hold look down on people from the Caribbean, because we are a third world country. It’s like they feel like all of us are suffering and don’t deserve better.

Preach!!! Work and travel opened my eyes. I understood the racism from the whites as a black woman. But it was the racism from black Americans that shook me

I remember one Labor Day parade being pushed by Haitians behind the jamaica truck it was so crazy . It was the first time I realized Caribbean separation. I remember calling about an apartment, agreeing to come to the place and sitting outside in the care with my husband and watching the people turn off the lights and close to blinds to act like they aren’t home. There’s a reason Marcus Garvey came here and was fighting for the black diaspora , it goes DEEP. Black Americans feel lost of identity and I’ve witnessed them choose a flag and go to our parades and Caribbean people ostracize them. This video is real and necessary, thank you for opening up the floor Dale🙏🏾💛

Everything you said is true. People travelling back and forth to Jamaica don’t explain these to them!

nuff man deh a Jamaica right now a live better than some people weh mi know over yahso. doh think mi a joke

This is a fantastic podcast. A lot of people in Jamaica don’t know how good they have it down there. They run blindly to the US thinking it is just going to be milk and honey all they way mostly because they get the wrong impression from their family members and friends who come back on vacation. It’s terrible to have to learn the hard way but many people do because nobody told them what to expect.

I've always wondered why when ppl move to the US they stick to their cultural communities, instead of integrating, but it makes sense now. You're safer and keep yourself from less disrespect.

Those experiences are humiliating. God Bless my country 🇯🇲

Tell them Dale!! I’m living a predominantly white community and one evening between 8 and 9pm. I was standing under a street light and a couple came out their house and saw me and they started gesturing and the drove to where I was and they parked for a few seconds and no words were exchanged. They went around the block twice and did the same thing of parking at my feet. They drove off and they called the police. They told the cop that there were two suspicious persons walking and talking in the neighbourhood. So it’s not lie for just walking and being black can get u locked up. Might I add, I was wearing a floral scrubs

You're not back, you're Jamaican. Crazy, it happens so often 💯

Bro when you speak on these topics is like you reading my mind or we just going through the exact same experiences, it’s surreal. One Love bro keep spreading the word💯👏🏾

My baby cuz who attends school in the states was told by another kid that his skin is disgusting. I'm talking about a 10 year old child. Racism is taught.

Discuss the fact that when you migrate at times you start over, your life, career everything at times

I will never understand how ppl hate someone because of the colour of their skin, mind boggling. And the other Caribbean ppl that hate you for just being a Jamaican is just CRAZY

This a good way to explain corruption. Corruption is everywhere. It is magnified in Jamaica because the common man can do it and get away with it. In the USA you need money and status

DALE: The topic selections and reasoning are on POINT!!! and thank you for not using any swear words. I was able to share with a wider audience. One Love

Your earlier experience is the main reason I choose to live in Jamaica and only shop overseas.....

Your podcast is on point Mi G .. I remember when I came here a kid at school asked me if I came here on a banana boat .. I wanted to kick his face off but I stayed composed. It was my first time witnessing fights in school between whites and blacks and hearing words I never heard in my life. America introduced me to racism and Jamaica introduced me to classism… One other thing why Black Americans (not all of them) don’t like us is because we work hard for what we want and work several jobs if we have to. We don’t depend on the American government for a handout. We go out and work for it and they despise us for that work ethic.. But like I said it’s not all of them because you have some hard working ones. Just like how you have hard working Jamaicans that are here and also Lazy Jamaicans that are here as well.

Dale I so love that you spoke on this topic , a lot of Jamaicans are so in denial . It is like mental abuse and they put us against each other , it’s a divide and conquer tactic that they have always used

Not only money, Dale. Jamaicans treat you based on how you carry yourself, the way you speak, your family background, as well as your upbringing.

All true ...in a country where they just stare at you no matter where you are as if we are a different species...it's totally different..

I'm supposed to migrate in a couple months. I've been travelling there for years but visiting and travelling are different. Watching this video made me more aware of what to expect. It also shows that no man is an island, you mustn't living in isolation when you are there. Keep the RIGHT company. Be apart of the RIGHT communities.

I love this whole topic. It is really difficult to explain to my Caribbean friends some of the topics you reviewed here. You did an awesome job!

I’ve always felt as though I’m a visitor here. This is after being here as a Legal Resident for 33 years. Yes, it’s true they don’t beleive that we are Black. I appreciate you telling these stories, because sometimes when you talk about these issues some beleive that we are lying. Some Jamaican men seek to take advantage of women who are ready to assist them financially. It’s not an easy road here at all.

The following-the-rules thing reminds me of an incident at a DMV. I overheard a man telling a young guy, " Bowy dem have rules up yah, you can speed and broke stoplight and dem things deh like Jamaica. So I said wait then don't we have the same rules in Jamaica, the man said to me, Yes but you know seh a yard so you nuh affi follow dem. So I said no the same way you act here you should respect your country enough to follow the rules there. The Man said, no sah dem can deport we from here, dem can't deport we from Jamaica.

Very accurate as a Caribbean living aboard. I have these thoughts daily because I was born outside but raised here and well aware of the differences. The older Caribbean are very blind sided by a lot of what he is saying.

All l can say is this brother is brilliant and speaks the full truth. Love this brother.

When I start my KZfaq, I am MANIFESTING that I will have a one on one conversation with you Dale. I appreciate your podcast! Keeping it raw/real always and so many people need that. 💯

Thank you for sharing the information. They are greatly appreciated by many people. Sorry to hear if anything bad happened to you personally while you were in the USA. Bad things happen all over the world often, and similarly without provocation. Racial profiling happens a lot all over America, and there seems to be no real law established to fully control it.

Growing up in America I used to get that all the time from white people in school "I wasn't talking about you you're Jamaican not black" & black americans as well used to exclude me saying "you're not really black you from the islands or you Jamaican". And coming up to England I've learned that a lot of Nigerians really don't like us

Systematic racism is a big thing here. For the man don't get 10 women pregnant, child support can mess up your life and some women are crazy

Very good episode Dale. You touched on a lot of things that people from the islands have no clue about. I’ve lived in the states since the late 90s and I still have a hard time navigating this country and all the racism and stereotypes.

Thank you for educating our people 🇯🇲

Thank you for highlighting the daily concepts of life for a being an individual from a different country living here in the USA.

Life hard in every country, every single country.

I’m on my job right now and I am just listening to all the things that you are saying really enjoying your conversation. Your topics that you choose to elaborate on is on point and 100% accurate. I totally agree and you when it comes to relationship. The treatment of the police. Living in a neighborhood that you are not welcome. Going to different service entities that you are also not welcome This is the Culture An every day lifestyle of America. Downright racist.

Just ran into your channel. Ive live in the US 30 years and everything you said is 100 percent true. Nothing has changed in the last 30 years.

Blessings brother a lot of the things u said I listened to and will take with me. I came for college and my roommates were Jamaican, u guys are some of the best people in the world. Respect 🇹🇹

Crazy ting my brudda I’m born here. No matter where di people come from, di other people Dem will try to fear unuh. Stay strong my G

The reasoning is raw and the voice is real

True words about corruption & segregation, Dale you are wise young man.

You're so intelligent, love how you're calm throughout the video, like your energy will subscribe

Love this type of content!! ALL TRUTH

Great points! RACISM is in EVERY STATE: some are just more discrete than others. Southern & Midwest state (more open about it), but don’t exclude Northernmost states…it’s definitely here. There are Jamaicans 🙋🏾‍♀️that TRY to speak to friends, others back home about the disparities you’d face, but it the allure of coming to Amerikkka for ‘better opportunities’ that have people blinded. I wish every Jamaican had the opportunity to come here, it can be nice, but it’s not a bed of roses 🌹

Damn! Dale def does his research on these topics. I'm Caribbean and he hit Every nail on the head on this topic.

A cat, a rat, a bat, you can be that. lol 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

I like the way that you touched on every aspect. The positive, the negative. Especially the fact that there are actually wealthy or well off Jamaicans out there as well which a lot of people don't know.

Oh yes, This happen to my young daughter and her girlfriend.The cop said, he pulled them over because she looked at him...Same with the address...Speak my brother.

Thank you for sharing your experience here in this “great country” 🙄 And it has gotten much worst! I would never recommend anyone to move here; especially if you are of color.

"Read the fine print"- truest words

Dale am so glad you brought up this topic because alot of Jamaicans only think of the good sides of the USA but who feels it knows it. Come to the US but make sure to temper your expectations

Im Chinese and Black Jamaican and I experience this all the time now living in the USA for some time and I believe very similar ppl forget our morals and values and culture and truly grateful for ancestors and how and where I was raised

Thank you for pointing out the difference between certain Jamaicans and other Caribbean people abroad and the fact that they hate us, it’s solely based on classism I would say based on my experiences. Caribbean people envies educated, well established Jamaicans whom aren’t from poverty as they believe or assume we should all be like them. They do love the poorer Jamaicans thou as they get along perfectly (I guess they have something in common). Regarding with what happened to you and the police I believe this happened predominantly because you have locks as some persons with locks are gang affiliated or they are believed to use drugs alot, it’s a stereotype but yeah that’s why that happened to you. I would advice all Jamaicans moving to the USA to get into tech via training thru a trade school such as ITT technical institute, college and ect. Also regarding what he stated about moving into a mixed neighbourhood if your a upper class Jamaican the worst mistake you can make is moving into a black neighbourhood, especially one that isn’t wealthy as in millionaires and billionaires that are black living there in high numbers otherwise your in for a life of hell, because in Jamaica we have a very classist society plus the cultural differences which came from British imperialism you will stick out like a sore thumb in black communities, you will have a very hard time connecting with people even thou they look like you, your gonna realise that you share nothing in common with them. Which will lead to them resenting you and worst also you can’t really rely on diverse cops in those areas as they view you as the enemy simply because you were not poor like them, so overall bad idea. I would recommend moving to a predominantly white neighbourhood or as he side a mixed one but not a poor white neighbourhood as that’s just as bad as the hood even worst some might say. Regarding what he mentioned about loans being rejected based on your skin Color I’ve never herd of such nor had any of those experiences abroad but I guess it can possibly happen as the world isn’t perfect, to counteract this I would suggest doing your loan applications online as everything can be done online these days. Its not a human who approved these loans, it’s a system (electronic) just ensure you meet all the criteria’s for said loans, just read all of the information which highlights what you need also more is always better, anything you can add to display a healthy financial status add it. Getting a credit card is a smart way to build your credit but be responsible with said credit card and never max it out NEVER!!! Also there are a lot of card companies that are created solely for this purpose just do some research to find the best one for you. Lastly the best advice I would give is just to get your information from the source, federal institutions, state agencies, banks directly (read everything on the website EVERYTHING) and credible institutions. (Don’t rely on hear say)

Bro u speak for all of us who didn't know where to start from,am a Care giver and I felt like a person with a n uncureable sickness the way how the client you're caring for treat you sometime they look down on us for being there for them lol they will at times ask u if u can used a washing machine or if we have nice forest, lake etc SMH The things we undergo some telling u that u can't sit on their sofa or put ur bag on a chair SMH I've encountered so much from this job .

Proud of my country to know such great people exist in it. Me feel good. Happy for Dale. Really appreciate this video fam will be watching always bless up bro

I tell people these truth all the time! Facts bro

You always keep it real, Dale. Thank you for that and more!

Yup! I was told by a Cuban white "You're not black, you're Jamaican." Obviously, he sees being black as a bad thing.

Been through a couple a topics you speak on you never tell a lie I swear finally someone who could explain it more to the world so everyone understand respect bredda

Reality, its mind boggling how women are attracted to you because of your accent the police story is real too. its life and death when your pulled over.

soo happy to see you using your platform to have these conversations that impact us all.

Thank you so much for providing insight. Blessings and continue!!! love this

Facts bro you are saving lives out here. God is using you as a vessel the Jamaican diaspora need to here this! Dale if you are reading this comment thank you very much if I had somebody to tell me all these things before hand, my life would be so much easier. I’ll make sure I give you my full 0:16 support in future endeavors .

I totally agree with you… I’m happy that you’ve spoken about this because I’ve been struggling with this issue since migrating. I can even see the “trauma” in the way you portrayed this podcast

Omg Dale Jamaica is what I call socially stable bredda everyone mix up mix up and just become one and nuh view dem self different

Very accurate description!

trust me ! being on work and travel really opened my mind

Some overseas Jamaicans treat locals here really poorly when they visit home. I worked in tourism for over a decade, and most complaints from staff was about Jamaican tourists from overseas. It was definitely an eye opener to me. Keep coming w great topics like this Dale, our young ppl really need to hear a voice of reason. Bigup from AstroDK. Much Respect 🙏✨

I really appreciate the honesty.

By just listening to this it makes me feel like I don't wanna come to the US

Always a looking forward listening to dale.

Love the reasoning.

Thank you for sharing, person here won't tell you stuff they let you learn by the mistakes n use you

I Love you Dale sincerely♥️ this is a breath of fresh Air. always listening to your podcast, you always remain humble no matter the situation.love you bro and thank you on behalf of all of us as Jamaicans trying to achieve the dream 1♥️

Real eye opener fam

Facts; literally.

Since I subscribe to your channel I've learned so much about been a immigrant in America. Keep sharing brother

Dem need Fi gi dis to every Jamaican and Caribbean person before Dem land inna dis.

Same thing with the Cayman islands bro they look down on jamaicans and its segregated

It's all about having that opportunity and having the knowledge to take advantage of the tools at your disposal. This information and knowledge is essential for Jamaicans. I hope we're all watching!

Sometimes it’s language and comforting, and sometimes it’s racism. And yes, in the us color gender and ethnicity is a request for jobs, schools, benefits, literally everything

💯💯💯 I grew up here, and there’s so many nuances to living here esp around race and corporate culture. The micro aggressions and ridiculous assumptions people make jah know, smh. you really gotta think above the group and stay focused on your goals and find motivated positive people and BUiLD a network and leverage those connections. This country feeds and makes a profit off of people that are “stuck”, and the end of the day it’s really up to you and your mindset.

Real talk Dads. Deadly truth laced with a comedic twist. Unique delivery Baas. Nuff big up! 😊👍🏽👍🏽🇯🇲

Totally agree!! It’s not all what you think 🤔

Yow! This is big facts 💯 Jah jah

Jah jah mind blowing😶🤐

Keep it coming Dale. Love your content . You keep it 💯

So true I am experiencing it myself.

Thank you for honestly❤❤ ❤the truth will always prevail in the end🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

Another great episode! Thanks Dale.

Bro mi deh a Florida 1 month and mi see everything you trying to say

I 100% agree with your message.

I love this Mr. Elliott
