Jamaican Till I Die!

Jamaica have become the Export Dumping Ground My impression of Jamaicans when I was growing up was that we were very picky eaters. Always concerned with the quality of our food. Always thinking about where it came from, who was preparing it and what was in it. We did not eat out much, simply because there was nothing out there that could beat a home cooked meal and we really did not trust people we did not know making our food. Back in the days, you could not get most Jamaicans, well the ones I know, to eat out and even if they did eat out it would be for a light snacks. After that they would go home and enjoyed their nice Fresh Hot Home cook meals. I cannot imagine leaving grandma’s home cook stew peas and rice with the squidly dumplings to subject my tender tummy to the great unknown. I do not know where this food was coming from, how fresh it was and what was in it. Dried Dead Rats Found in Rice Imported from USA Just a couple weeks ago Jamaica imported 1,500 Metric Tonn

If you want to legitimize anything in Jamaica such as a social event or a business, keep a party and invite some white or light skin people then have the Jamaica Observer take pictures for Page 2. The Observer will mostly publish Page 2 pictures of people with the lightest skin colour thus legitimizing your business or event in the minds of a people who are completely obsessed with the colour of a person’s skin, since it seems there are those among us who equate success and jet settings with only upper St. Andrew Reddas and Brownings. To the Jamaica Observer if you have light skin people at your event then it must be an event worth supporting, the place to be and to be seen. Not only are the people in the pictures mostly light skin but page 2 is formatted to show bright over expose images giving even the blackest face a lighter complexion. I have been told that even if black people are at these event they are less likely to make page two, unless they are ultra-famous like Usain Bol

(Finding fun in a bad situation) Bomb Threat and Evacuation Donkey years ago I was working for a Government agency whose office was located on the 12th Floor. One morning around 10 am the fire alarm went off and an announcement was made that a bomb threat was made and everyone should evacuate the building immediately. So we quickly grabbed our stuff and made a mad dash for the stairwell, hurrying to get the hell out of dodge, the stairwell was pack but moving at a steady pace as we mentally count down the floors. At around the 8th floor everyone was stopped dead in their tracks, taking one step every couple minutes, we became very worried and started to investigate what might be causing this delay. We looked down to the next floor only to see a big fat woman, big enough to completely block the stairwell so no one could pass. She was moving as slow as hell and it was clear she was having great difficulty going down step by step, it was a bit dark and being so fat she could n
