You both seem like a great couple. I agree with hubs... I can't eat Grits either... and when it comes to the kids. That Patwah... is out floating like clouds.. lol
My wife and I have the same dynamic - she's American and my family's Jamaican. Love hearing the similar situations with another couple. Appreciate y'all! 💯
Heavy manners means strict discipline. That's my roots. Still good to see you both have understand each others culture and willing to adjust in the name of love. Bless up
Lol girl I feel you on the trying not to laugh or get turned on when they start going off in patois. My husband get so mad cause he really be upset and I cant help it. Lol thanks for making me smile y'all.
I am seeing this for the first time and I laughed so hard I’m also from MD and am engaged to a Jamaican and I sent this too him and we so agree. Thank you for giving us a laugh and letting us know we are not alone🇯🇲🇱🇷
From the South or the Southern States and not knowing about Ox Tails or Dumplings? However, it takes time to grow into ONE. With plenty of Love and Respect, you will get there. Blessing to all the young married couples

I'm born American but I grew up eating jamaican food but it was called soul food it's the same food, my uncle was born in 1922 he asked me why eat burgers with cheese, he said black kids started eating like that when they integrated the school with white people in the 1960s eating like white people, he was saying before black people didn't eat dairy with meat
Mtume. Isaac Hayes, Tina Marie, Al Green. We listen to that a lot. As a matter of fact I'm listening to all that on my Jamaican radio and I live in Ohio. That's just specific to his growing up where they played mostly reggae, and not a reflection of what's played mostly on radio back home.
Jamaican food is better as me being an American too. But cooking soul food takes a lot to cook daily I could only imagine prepping and making Jamaican food everynight 😩😩 but it’s a good way to show love ❤️
Traditional cleaning day for Jamaicans is Saturday. 🇯🇲🇯🇲 He ain’t a born Jamaican so he probably doesn’t know. Saturday is going to the market! Clean up the house! And Mama, Grandma, Auntie, Daddy or someone is cooking soup! 😂😂
Y’all are so cute to me! I loved this video and I laughed so hard when you said he eats liquid cornbread 🤣🤣I lost it!!!! But I really enjoyed this video
I'm African American and have been married to my Jamaican husband for 5 years now and we have the same issue. I Have learned to cook some of the dishes mentioned, still working on dumplings (haven't mastered the Hawkie Pocks yet as I call them). Do you all have an issue with communication as well?
Jamaicangirl21000 then why did you come all the way to a channel specifically for Jamaican and african American couples Einstein??? You probably clicked cause it said “AA VS JAMAICANS” and you was hoping it was hatred
@@joeytunez You're right! I was hoping it was hatred because everyone supposed to stick to their own kind plus black americans don't like us Jamaicans...
Jamaicangirl21000 ok so it’s good you admitted that you came here for hate. Now answer why when you realized this is a channel about love did you try to interject hate? There are plenty of anti black American channels like African Fang tribe for example if that is what you want. These two are in love
Jamaicangirl21000 why you being so disrespectful aren’t they not black like yourself? Smh so sad there is people like you in the world i can tell you’re a troll with nothing better to do more like a loser.
I really like at the beginning how she said she immersed herself in his culture not just for herself and him, but for their daughter. Like, I've seen too many relationships where - either intentionally or unintentionally - one parterns attempts to erase the cultural background of the other partner, and that's not cool. Every child should know where they came from, and if they gravitate towards one culture more than the other, that's natural. But cutting them off from one or the other is just wrong.
A lot of that comes from black Americans have an inferiority complex. Most half AA kids feel inferior and sometimes overcompensate by making people believe bother their parents are caribbean or African when they have a AA parent.
@@thewordsmith5440 I have never read something so dumb and offensive, on here, which is a tall taks, since this is the internet. You can still delete this stupid comment.
Great video... I am definitely Jamaerican... having one side of my family from Jamaica and one from the US. I am here for all the food. I love eggs and grits in the morning just like I love ackee and saltfish and cornmeal porridge. LOL!
When u chose to marry someone outside of your culture or country you have to give & take, accept. West Indians eat meals 🥘we don’t really eat junk the only thing is patties or KFC. Also, every West Indian don’t speak the same it depends on where u from in Jamaica. I don’t like ackee & Avocado, stuff the most Jamaican eat but it don’t make me no less West Indian, food is a matter of preference. I love anything pasta 🍝 you needs to embrace & learn to speak patois & to understand especially if you’ve been with him for a while. Yankee/America’s speaks ghetto & Ebonics. southerners have there thing as well. Plus, it just like a Spanish person going back & forth from English to Spanish, it just comes natural. Heavy manner is to have someone in control. It sounds as if she doesn’t respect your culture. I know interracial couples who embrace their spouses culture way better & they speak a whole different language. U should have picked up a few words by now. Patios is just broken English. Jamaican live in church, Christianity is a big part of West Indies. We listen Gospel & maybe slow jams on Sunday’s. Saturday is usually cleaning day. Your husband’s live style doesn’t represent a typical Jamaican. I was born I JA but I’m more American than Jamaican because I did all my schooling her in NY. Check out avri & simas & erroll anthony Steven’s page.
Honestly, my wife is a big supporter of my culture. Especially for someone who didn't grow up around a lot of Caribbean influence. This was us having fun and bringing up the differences of how we grew up. Nothing but love here! Thanks for watching!
Soul food has dairy. Lots of dairy. It's unhealthy. Your ancestors are Africans, not from Europe(mostly). Cook like Africans or like us caribbean people. That will cause cancer to vastly decrease in the black American population, because dairy is toxic.
All our foods come from the same shit mostly European & african influences, only Thing is tha caribbeans got tha indian influence which us americans dnt have
@@beastmode7169 we dont have that heavy european influence in Jamaican food. Our dishes dont include dairy. AA foods is mostly dairy. Dairy promotes cancer.
@@badboydunie5603 Dutty Bwoy my Bloodline is directed to the beginning from my FATHERS, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Almighty YAH states that I am special because I am from the seed of Israel from The Tribe Of Benjamin! So keep your Slave name, "Jamaica" which means land of Wood and water, which I'm neither. Lol There's nothing fake about my heritage you unlearned buffoon, so study before you come at me! You're not special because you haven't claimed your true self and expressed fondly of being a Slave. So leave you to your ignorant self! Lol 😂
@@badboydunie5603 As your name states that you are a, "Boy!" Oh and the American brothers are actually Judites from the Tribe Of Judah, the Kingly Tribe like the Messiah. Just to let you know that. Shalom
Do you speak straight country style patois because yuh cyaan understand dat deh. I was born in Kingston grew up in Clarendon. The jamaican culture is extremely different from African American culture
Garland Owls11 you’re 100% correct. I’m from Alabama and we ate oxtail all the time. Our cultures are very similar because we are essentially the same people. Some boats went to Jamaica and other Carribean countries while others came to America. But from the same place, mother Africa!
Jamaicangirl21000 gurl we basing anything on who YOUR UGLY ASS date. You came on her page with this. Go to a Carribean men only page of thats how you feel.
It’s interesting to hear how Americans react to Jamaican vernacular, mannerisms, food, etc. I’m from Canada, born to Jamaican parents. I’ll say this : there are similarities between Black people worldwide. Things we all must endure as the beautiful people we are. We’re all Black, not a monolith but we are one.
lookin good yall, I'm Jamaican and my Lady is black American. we go through the SAAAAMEE things. now she eats more jerk chicken, curry goat, loves rice and peas. its lovely.
We need more shows like this. I’m so tired of the “Africans vs” or “Jamaicans vs African Americans” finally one where they are showing. I subscribed Love
Thank you guys, so much, for making these videos. I will be binge watching for the next couple of hours. I'm in the honeymoon stage with my Jamaican girlfriend, and I'm born and raised in St. Louis, MO.
Jamaicangirl21000 that is so racist against your own people this is why black people will always be where we’re be cause of people like you with your ignorance self smh.
Sit'n is short for sinting, which is patois for something or thing, which are words interchangeably used to describe an object. So, 'pass dah sit'n deh', means 'please fetch me that thing over there'. There are so many levels to we ting. 🤣🤣🤣
Caribbean people on a whole usually go to church on a sunday, most people play chrisian music.IN HIS case it's a choice, it's a cultural thing in the Caribbean.
