Do you have any idea how much money we supply to all these non-white countries? Shit, even here in the states almost half of hispanics and blacks are on welfare here. Most of them would either starve or freeze to death if whites left tomorrow. And guess what? 100 years later, when half of them died off and every city is burned to the ground, they would still blame white people.

And I'm not trying to attack you, but really...if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. I'm pretty sick of whites taking the blame for other's bad and irresponsible behavior.
I don't see what you wrote as an attack so no worries there. as to Jamaican politics and circumstances, it is a fascinating history well worth reading about but this isn't a place for that. what is relevant in a thread about the US is that one of the modern challenges for JA has been the two-party system which tends to result in a zero sum game mentality, exactly like the one going on in your country

for the second time JA elected a government not beholden to gangs. it's such an exciting time here, this gov is trying to actually serve the people and the economy is fucking booming. higher education institutions are everywhere, now you don't have to be rich with perfect grades to get the education needed to get a good job. when I started visiting here there was one university for the entire country and if you didn't get in there the rich kids went to florida, toronto or new york. everyone else was kinda fucked

the middle class(es) -there are like seven- are actually expanding here because this gov is working with their opposition

in the past in this two-party system each gang was more focused on entrenching their own power and hating the other side. for example if a gov-sponsored building was under construction and the gov changed, the building stopped. just languishing as an eyesore because the two sides gave more value to hating each other than doing their job

JA is moving away from that and your nation is diving into it. it's like y'all are having a new civil war and it hurts every participant
