Understand this. Those who jump on this event are the same ones who are now screaming that Nike should be boycotted.
I'm curious, are Jamaicans really that much better off than AAs?

I have been to Sicily before so yes, unlike some people I admit it when my s*** stinks. The Mezzogiorno has lots of problems. High unemployment, corruption and on and on. It's engrained in the culture and things in the North are run much more efficiently. Just take a trip to Naples to see... A mess... You need to admit that there are hooligans out there making a mess of things for the other people going there peacefully to have a good time.

No, but don't tell them that. I have met some that are high and mighty. In fact there are plenty of Bronxguyanese types that see AAs as uneducated and so on. Only black Caribbeans are supposed to be educated, capable and cultured.

Its all good to be proud of wbere your from. Yet, when you spend a disproportionate amount of time saying how much better your group is then others your head explodes when obvious evidence to your fairy tale explodes. Case in point Caribbean NY.

See it daily where I work with coworkers. I was engaged to an Afro Guyanese and dated several Jamaican and Trinidanian girls as well. There is a lot of " putting on of airs " in our English speaking Caribean communities.Yet, I guess tbat is the human condition.

LOL this thread is hilarious.

You got your Golden Girls reference on one of the first pages.

You got CaribNY on this thread defending this ****show of a parade to the death because it's done by Caribbean blacks, when he HAAAAAAAAAATES American blacks.

You got your "What about Sicilians?" thrown in there too.

By the way, on the subject of Sicilians, I--as a Sicilian American--ADMIT THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN SICILY. Sicily is ****ed up. Trains don't run on time. Infrastructure is awful. There is a criminal mentality there that, if people are not outright criminals, then they are at least comfortable with pulling a fast one on others, etc. At least I can admit it.

But as soon as someone says something to a black person about the very REAL problems of SHOOTINGS and MURDERS that occur year after year at a parade, something that should be a joyous occasion? RACISM! "How dare you insult us?! ONLY three people got shot this year!"

The events did not happen WITHIN the festival and here you go. Really, really sad. But Caribbean people aren't leaving so I guess you might have to.
Yes. I agree with you CaribNY. Some posters here cannot live with themselves that the Giuliani area is over. Ultimately they should go to wherever they will be happy.

Maybe it's time to ban this parade. Shootings, stabbings and other violence are becoming habitual at this event. If these people want to celebrate go organize a block party or have a back yard BBQ.

One of the moderators, a Black man, said that this parade was the most dangerous thing he ever did. So quite clearly in this thread alone different Black people have different feelings about subject. Racism comes in when people like you seem to feel the desire to portray all Black people as the borg.

My true feelings on the parade? It's in Brooklyn and I was born in Queens. This parade has nothing to do with me, and I'm not West Indian. It's sad that people get shot in what is cultural celebration, but I don't really know enough about West Indians or Brooklyn to comment on what should be done to curb the violence.
