Babylon Release De Chains, But ...

[Willi]

Nuh sarry fi mawga dawg Steele...loL

[Willi]

Caine clearly racist too...him love di white....LoL

[Willi]

PJ got sent away to live with a stranger...

Portia grow inna nuclear family as far as I know.

[Baddaz]

and what dem duh tuh steele afta... even steel is hurt and acknowledge de slight... his only fall back is that he is in de republican party because he believes in de conservative principles, less de racism...

caine was never going to be taken seriously as a leader for the republicans... they will use him to make money in his and their businesses and politically to misrepresent that they are not racist and lure a few blind blacks, thats about it...

[Bricktop]

Remember the ROLEX UK boat ride video...and the snickering from those who are on here deriding the class system in Jamaica? Pick up yuh face...it just get kick aff...

[Willi]

Nuh PJ claim racism (black scandal bag)? So the parallel to Obama is near perfect!

[Bricktop]

I attended a more prestigious university than you did...on full scholarship at that...hush...

[Baddaz]

spot on don1... yuh bruk it dung perfect... willi just give up pon da one ya... nuh amount a spinning gwine mek it right... dont morph inna lazie...

[Baddaz]

willi, do you realize that there are still 'clubs' that obama could not get into inna america... he would have to be invited... and nuh invitation nah guh out tuh him... believe dat...

its racism and classism...

[Don1]

don1, a doe know weh willi a drink... willi know but just nuh want fi accept de truth...

of couse it is a parallel and a great one, i must admit...

pj came from humble beginnings but his academic achievements put him in the higher social class... who gwine publicly look down pon an accomplished qc lawyer...

inna jamaica just by being a lawya or docta regardless of social beginnings automatically put a person inna de uppa class... de same cannot be said of de auto mechanic, plumber, carpenter, electrician... is de class ting...

and is not money alone get yuh a bly inna de class...

yes

=Willi;336079]PJ come from a single motherhold with no paternal acknowlegement till he made it.

That describes lots of Jamaicans and is not an absolute determinant of class positioning

What presents now is that Portia have degree too! It si about background why Portia have different cross to bear. She grew up in politics even more so than PJ and qualified herself after she was known. PJ at 23 already graduate when NW Manley gave him command over electioneering.

One cannot see Portia's latter day degree out of an obscure institution (what is the degree about?) as equivalent to PJ's academic achievements and subsequent legal career over decades.

Apples vs Oranges

PJ is more a parallel to Obama!

Nope. There was zero class based opposition to PJ...since he was seen as a member of the "professional elite class"

Portia would have no such class positioning or protections.... but with her latter-day-degree she would move up a notch in the Class System to a "Hurry-Come-Up"

Portia is more a parallel to LULA.

No comparison per se is ludicrous, just more relevant or less so depending on perspective.

There is zero basis to see Portia and PJ in the same class categorization since they are clearly NOT


Anyway, my primary point is that the Class System in Jamaica is an abomination and one of the main impediments to Jamaica's progress...do you agree?

[Baddaz]

Portia is a woman from humble origins which is reflected in her speech and mannerisms... that orientation is despised by many middle and upper caste Jamaicans who believe people like that have a certain "place"... and it's NOT at the dinner table nor in a leadership role... I'm certain you know this Willi.

don1... tell him fi mi deh... is like mi learned fren willi eeda nuh want fi acknowledge or nuh want fi si de truth...

dat is why, whether people want tuh believe it or not, jamaica is pnp country... most of jamaica is what dem call 'lower class people' and de pnp represent dem people deh... de jlp represents de latte drinking 'upper class' and these past 5 years highlight dat... all de subliminal and blatant attacks against portia were directed to her class... nuh vaz seh jlp have pretty woman... suh weh him a seh bout pnp woman dem... its embarassingly pathetic...

excellent article by daniel twaites...
