No sah mi a dead....Jamaicans and these nicknames....no chill at all

Those nicknames stick 🤣🤣🤣

DOPE

Hush ya! Wi wikkid bad. LOL

Hahaha

Out of Many One People**

The Motto is spot on, but the functionality of this is dismal; for Jamaica operates as a ‘“out of many we are SOME people’” society!

@ayoitsnigelgaming fr my bro, would be a way better place. cant wait to go back home and enjoy the people

You and the world know...that is just a catch-phrase tho'. "ONE PEOPLE"... yeah right!!🤔

Don’t be fooled, many Caribbean countries are still home to an INCREDIBLE amount of people who show little to no tolerance for people they disagree with.

🇯🇲🇯🇲

super well-spoken, intelligent. I learned things from this video, thanks fellas!

Real yaadman.

It made me realize the one part of Jamaican culture I rarely see is just folks on the sidewalk, in chitchat mode.

Social acceptance and openness? I mean, homosexuality is still a big taboo in Jamaica

I do wonder what it looks like in violent moments or situations gone wrong though.

I was super exited to hear him talking for 2 hours.

Girl you’re right. The ignorance levels of so many people boogie me. Buy some books y’all.

the population has also shifted alot in Jamaica due to excessive migration. Jamaica has the same level of brain drain that countries at war have so those who can afford to leave the country, they migrate. The population has become increasingly dark-skinned black and African within the past 25 years.

Because many confuse nationality with ethnicity.

@@chevalierdenoir754 This is false. Jamaica has always been a predominantly Black (African) country. In fact, the percentage of the Black population is decreasing (was around 87% 10+ years ago and now about 77%) due to more mixing of the races and an influx of new Asian immigrants. We as Black people in Jamaica come in all shades.

@@reeseb.6985 Like seriously when did I ever say Jamaica was not always a predominantly black society? Would you please show me where and when, where and when i SAID THAT? I SAID that Jamaica has become even more black this is a FACT. Check the urban centers now vs. 1996. Now I went to an exclusive prep school in the early 90's, I went to a traditional high school in the mid 90's to early 2000's. I've been back I can say with 1000 percent certainty Jamaica is blacker than ever and that is fine. The stinge of colonialism is most evident in the Baby Boomer Generation, like my parents etc they are both black but have very mixed backgrounds and you can tell by looking at them. During the 1970's all of my paternal extended relatives, friends, and more have fled the country to Canada and that has not stopped. Also, a lot of people from rural Jamaica migrate they don't even move to Kingston, straight from the country to overseas. Are you denying the brain drain in Jamaica? Peter and Paul, Stella Marris today vs. 1996 just watch the School Challenge Quiz. By the way before Colombus got here they were no black ppl kmt.

You from Germantown Jamaica?

The best pranks are the ones that don't harm or inconvenience the recipient, he has that down pat for sure

Her name might not be chin or chung but it's something Chinese like

Georgetown big up

😂

That was the sweetest part

That is how many Jamaicans speak, especially in casual situations

M if I don’t have an English accent and I randomly start using English accent in n out of conversation seems like I’m forcing it no ?

He sang about it because he was mixed race. There was a time during his era where mixed people experienced serious racism

You make it sound like you knew the basic of what Bob stands for but yet you don't know the age he died smh. When you speaking about a legend like BM, you get every detail right. Stop being a another vulture on the culture. Oh and Mattthebat, think for yourself and do some actual research.

What does that have to do with this white dude speaking patois?

​@@royboy2084You should always write a person's name out don't abbrevirate it.❤

@@scotthughes7440 "A video about a Jamaican guy so I will talk about the only other Jamaican guy I know" lmao

“As a light skinned Jamaica..” What does that mean? Do people actively call out the shade of your skin in Jamaica?

@@Es97Coqui yes they do. People are called Browning, red man, whiteman , coolie, missa chin, these are all commonly used and actually that is what this entire video is about. Jamaicans are not racist but they do try to define your race and nationality immediately. They also commonly say things like "fat gyal", to describe people, that would be considered rude in other cultures. It is not meant to be rude here just how we talk.

MarkJBBowen That shit stupid asf.. Calling each other different terms when being from the same place.. i notice all these places that been colonised do the same shit.. smh.. you can say "thats just how we talk, it's not racist" but sure is fucken ignorant.

What are indians or chinese called?@@MarkJBBowen

@@MarkJBBowenYou’re correct. I’m American, but my husband is Jamaican. They also call someone “Marga” if they’re skinny, and name people by their profession… ex. Cookie for a chef, Singy for a singer, etc.

😊😂

he's Jamaican tho lol

Bro he IS Jamaican! He's not embracing something he learned about from his cousin.

Are you serious 😂😂😂😂😂 i don't think you watched the interview

i think they're referring to him highlighting jamaican culture in the states@@joshmorris5322

@@Elitistt just like the 77 people that liked the comment 🤣🤣🤣

I think what it is is you need to watch more Jamacan sketches

Yes more

Of course I love Jamaicans haha

😂

Indeed😂

Same in St Maarten but Jamaicans are on another level with the nicknames

Bajan?*

​@tahileebrown5161 He is correct. Bajan is slang for Barbadian. Bajan is more popular these days.

Big up

In Jamaica they call East Asian Jamaicans mr or Miss chin lol

What's even crazier is hearing them speak in patois and reading a newspaper in Chinese now that's the wild part! Jamaica to the world

Hahaa similar experience in Belize, I met an Asian bus driver with Belizean accent.

There a lot a Asian in Jamaica, you clearly don't know history

2:17 YOU WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT CULTURES, SO JAMAICAN ARE NOT SURPRISED 3:58 bullshit, so he's not Jamaican,

I’ve got 1 Jamaican friend, he keeps telling me I should get dreads and he calls my son “curly yute” lmao

Yup. Now we just spell it “coolie”

thank you so much

Makes sense the majority of Indian descents came to Jamaica as indentured servants

Yes I was Taught By my Mom She's half Indian ( Jamaican🇯🇲) that coolie is a Racial slur My Mom hates the word and I've seen Indians in Belize who don't like to be called Word also Trinidad is different though.

It's hella racist to use it in Trinidad and Tobago

🔥🔥🔥 Great suggestion

Nardwuar is a mythical creature. Getting him on a podcast would be more than legendary. Love that dude great suggestion.

I agree. This man hasn't put out a dud yet.

Great suggestion mate but I reckon he's got more chance of getting Elvis on the pod than him sadly! Part of Nardwuar's appeal is that he isn't available for interviews and it builds mystique, he's extremely calculated with his actions and it's worked to build his brand over the years so it has to be respected. it's a damn shame though because that would be an awesome interview!!

Would be a dream, I love Nardwuar

I appreciate you checking them out my dawg

His skits r weeekid

What’s the insult mean? Can you describe the context and explanation

Fish and battyman is gay person battyman is str8 gay amd fish swing both ways lol

He’s one of my favs. I work w mainly Jamaicans and they are the best. Hard workers and they love America.

Rest your front

People like boxes and categories I think

How did a show about jamaica remind you about Trinidad🤔🤔

​@@LioNelMessi-zm7cibecause jamaica isnt the only country in the caribbean? And not the only country that speaks patois?

i wanna hear the long story. sounds interesting as heck.

​@starz8227 sorry but patois literally Jamaican culture yea others use it but it's not the same accent

@@Nathan-xe8pg huh? What are you on about? That doesnt even add anything to the converstation. Jamaica doesnt own patois, whats the point of calling it a Jamaican thing when you just stated everyone else's is different? Theres a lot of people that speak patois and if you dont want to hear it fine, leave. Jamaica isnt the only caribbean country around, get over yourself

I think you should start a KZfaq day in the life it would be intriguing to see you interact with them 😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 wow that would be interesting to witness based on your profile pic haha 😂

And it makes sense, you never want to be the odd one out, everybody wants to fit him. Its higkey a survival thing for a lot of people, i went through something like this because the first 7 years in school i always went to a private school so when i went to a private school with straight up hood dudes i had to change how i spoke and thigns like that, i always been from a hood but never had the strong """"hood""""" accent, but after i finished school i talked kinda 50/50, sometimes i talked in the most hood way possible and others i speak very nerdy because thats who i was at my private school.

White Jamaican here. Yeah, it didn’t feel that great to stand out so much, esp as a shy person. It wasn’t fun having my art teacher point to me in class and say ‘ in the states she wouldn’t be white’ and being the center of that discussion, or other children snickering about me when we talked about slavery in class- like i am the symbol of all evil lol. And just walking around, people can make a big deal, and with crime and being a female, so often it’s better to just not put yourself out there, literally lol. I always felt people would make fun of how soft spoken I was, etc- I had this impression like I was too soft in general and that wasn’t good. But that’s also my personality and the fact that I’m from a more sheltered part of town. Jamaicans are usually very bold and I’m not lol

Theres every type of Jamaican in toronto

@@adammckenzie6074 yes, I feel like we should be free to just be how we are. We’re not all the same.

@@Livingrentfreeinyomind77 I’m sorry you endured that! You didn’t deserve that. There’s a lot of healing to be done. If it makes you feel any better I wasn’t the typical Jamaican either (and I grew up in country 🥲), very shy and awkward and couldn’t dance to save my life, this set me up for bullying and being known as the weird girl. I hope you’ve had better experiences since then and I hope nowadays kids are kinder

Chet Hanks is a legend tho
