    The lineage doesn't reflect if your parent of grandparents were born in JA. Just as long as they are a citizen, that is good enough. So the generations after you must keep registering as a ja citizen so the generations after you can maintain being Jamaican.

    caribbean islands claim to be INDEPENDENT from UK rulership. the concept of independence is an administrative thing. its only on paper. these islands are still influenced by the BRITISH SYSTEM and still depend on britain...the leadership is brainwashing their nations

    • @BlackHeartMan_NoSoul
      @BlackHeartMan_NoSoul 5 місяців тому

      Not all caribbean islands are independent, many more are not republics, this is common knowledge. The islands were colonised not only by the british but other european nations hence spanish, french, dutch etc are spoken on different islands; and the remnants of those systems will be there. Finally what system would you replace it with? because I like to read to about solutions.

Despite the Indo population is slightly larger that the Afro Trinidadian population, there is many contribution by Afro Trinibagonians - cou cou, calaloo, pound plantain (Tom Tom), bene ball etc. I would have like to see mention made of the Orisah religion and Spiritual baptist(african influence) The spirtual baptists religion is similar to Revivalism in Jamaica. Also the Tobago Heritage Festival. Overall, great video.
