Jamaicans are confident, in your face, kick ass people. We don't care if you agree with the sentiments expressed in the video about our smarts or not. We love who we are and will always think the best of ourselves no matter who likes to hate but really just hate themselves!
Jamaican people got raw deal from the powers that be from day 1 hence why they are so rebellious whether upper class,middle class etc. We have an innate spirit for freedom of expression and when we feel suppressed,we rebel. No doubt,some of us made wrong choices but that is only because they never had the chance to express their talent whatever that may be. So I agree,Jamaicans are the smartest people on earth.
spluffin bones Your conclusion makes no sense to me. All humans have an innate spirit for freedom and will fight to be free. I agree some of us (including rich people) made wrong choices, but it's usually because of ignorance, peer pressure or naiveté. Poverty and a lack of opportunity is what sometimes cause many not to to realize their talent. If I'm poor and live in the Ghetto and have never touched a piano, the chances are extremely slim that I will end up as a classical pianist. When one is rich, they are exposed to more opportunity than a poor person. They can travel and learn about the world, and they can get the best education.
who are the Jamaicans following when it comes to fashion ? How and from what reggae music was created, And was Jamaicans the Only ones played a part? The food on the island lets start with curry, jerk ? Reply with facts not your own feelings ...
mark daniels Jamaican culture is a mixture of different cultures . East Indian . Chinese . Middle Eastern . African . Ararawak indian . Scottish , British & maybe more
I think many people are missing the point. The man is not advocating slavery nor is he applauding slavery. I think he is saying that Jamaica benefited in spite of the horrific process of slavery and the misguided errors of the masterminds of slavery. Don't forget that slavery was an outgrow of Religion, and people still cling to the architect of slavery (churches) as their ways of life. Would you say that these church-goers are approving of slavery?
and of course your an atheist and you push your own opinion into your words instead of staying neutral. slavery was done by atheists/heathen because no good man in his right mind would enslave another.
jodii bernalli religión did play a big part in slavery and that's a fact....so i say this religion is for closed minded people who likes to be suppress and oppress
I have always said that if a Jamaican is good at anything in whatever field of endeavor, he either the best in the world or as good as the best anywhere.
Jamaicans have the Wisdom of King Solomon and LaoTzu but on the other hand the criminal genius of Lex Luther in Superman and Al Capone. Shiver mi timbers mi Hearties, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly all Out of many one people, with 2 million Jamaicans overseas and their extended families.
I also think you'll find that in terms of globally successful talent (whatever the domain), Jamaica is close to, if not at the top of the overall ladder with regards to production of such talent per capita- especially for a 3rd world country without the resources to harness and hone such prospects.
I must say Jamaica is the training ground for the world, if we do good it's a 100 percent and more, if we do contrary it's the same, therefore wherever we go throughout the world people around us near and far try to wear our hat, this is being proven daily, I am a living product of this paradise, blessed love.
Jamaica is musically smart ,period .you can fight it or cry over it . I don't care . if you are not happy with it go hug . you can say your country is smarter too and you won't see me commenting on your post. Everyone has a ryt to say anything he wants so let me say it that way I know . You can say Kenyans are smarter on running or nigeria is smarter on scamming people . who cares . why getting worried if it doesn't bring food to your table
Smart poor people are are not rich because they are burdened with integrity. They don’t know how to exploit the poor, stupid and the weak. Nor do they know how to suspend their conscience to manipulate poor religious people. There’s a reason why religion preaches nobility in poverty, it is eraser to control the believers to work their butt off while alive with the promise of milk and honey after death. Smart poor people cannot get super rich because they are just too honest. But then again, maybe I am wrong. What do you think?
I totally agree with the comment Jamaica has a lot of intelligent people horny did not have the opportunity to be educated I came to Canada at the age of 19 my first job at nine years old was in the sugarcane field I’m in the tobacco field working I am now a person a Jamaica With Jamaican heritageI have two, first I have a certificate as a registered nurse second a degree in nursing third I have two certificate as a OR technician working in the operating room distributing instrumentation medication for doctors and anaesthesiologist I also have a certificate for medical billing that takes a lot of math if I did not leave Jamaica it’s a possibility I would not have the education I have now, my mother was a widower at an early age, my nickname at work they call me the walking computer don’t tell me Jamaica do not produce intelligent people given the opportunity we can do great things God bless the island of Jamaica.
I LOVE your story! You are absolutely correct: Given the opportunity, Jamaicans can do anything and everything. People, in watching this video, missed the point. At no time was the man advocating or endorsing slavery; instead, he was saying 'how' things came to be and 'why' Jamaicans are the smartest people in the world. I believe they are. Thank you very much for sharing!
I see you live in Canada, now your response in understandable. As Mutaburuka (reggae dub poet artist) said, "It's not good to stay in a white mans land too long" .
Mi nuh really believe we are di smartest pon earth. Jamaican people are very resourceful and are very hard working people. Every race has a group of very smart people, no race is superior.
Words from the wise. Don't supress good talent n let it go to waste. It should not suffer n disappear for lack of finances. It's should be harnessed n promoted.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Most countries benefited from the slave trade in the sense that- Many slave owners and masters took part in genocide where they killed the natives and imported slaves for sport/fun. Also in the very tough conditions- lack of food, healthcare etc. it was almost a case of survival of the fittest. And I have no doubt that of the Jamaicans that made it through the slavery era as well as the more poverty-stricken times, there is an abnormally high percentage of gifted people.
I’ve been telling people long time that we Jamaican were more superior , both physically and mentally . My theory is different though , my logic is if I’m a slave owner and I want to sell some slaves then I’m not going to sell the strongest or the smartest . Think about that , who would you sell ? So you see , our slave owners sold the weak and not so smart and kept the best in Jamaica
its nice to hear about a few good guys and not the crime, drugs, poverty,murder,and the no go areas for the tourists who are the main income for the island.
Jamaica benefited from the slave trade? That is an asinine comment. Not surprisingly, the statement was uttered by someone who is not of African descent.
This video only portrays 1% of the Jamaican population. Real people facing authentic issues throughout their everyday lives will not be found in the rural "uptown" parts of the country. Go to the gully; deep into the center of the island. There , you will find TRUE Jamaicans.
Jamaican are smart people a lot of smart people come from the Guetto But the way the system set its not like Abroad you wont get Any help from the Gouverment your on your own unless they know you only rich & Middles class our people that just have enough to get By have everything our most of the things they need But the country is so corrupt that's why crime & violence is overloaded & corupt police officer that make it worse Hopefully one day it will change & the corrupt system will be gone

Unë mbajë që Xhamajka është një vend fantastik me njerëz të bukur, të sjellshëm e të dashur! Unë kam vizituar shumë herë atje dhe unë dua çdo vizitë. Xhamajka është gjithashtu një gjendje e mendjes. Për të vizituar herën e parë, të bëjë miqësi me një person i Xhamajkës (unë mund të rekomandojë dikë), dhe pastaj do të vizitojë atë mikun. Ju nuk do të pendoheni qëndrimit tuaj. Ju lutemi ndani videot e mia me të gjithë miqtë tuaj. Faleminderit.
The point he should of made is that if it was not for the strong gene pool of the Maroons strength and vigour, they made those who were Europeans so rich and all Jamaica got out of it was strong athlletes which even today puts Jamaica on the maps as very strong people.
Jamaicans are very unique, we have the white man's blood the black man's blood, the Indian and or Chinese, this makes us superior, just check us out in whatever we do
@Fecious1 In every country you will find citizens who believe whole-heatedly that the people of that country are the smartest people in the world. If a country respect and treat ALL its citizens well, then they believe in their country and themselves. It is all about national pride!
i wanna fucking live there where people are happy with that they got and free and its jaimaca , from an albanian guy one love bros and sisters and yes they are the smartest people on earth 100% love the jaimacan life style
Jamaican are the best at the good and the worst at the bad ,simple if they are doing something good they are the best but if its bad well one know whats coming,strong will people they are.
Yes smart they developed the mobile phone and other technologies. Smart to be dishonest irrispective of how old they are can you see how the speaker in the blue shirt tongue heavy as he speaks.
The in-eloquent guy in the video said that Usain Bolt proves that Jamaicans have the smartest people.................LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!..............For real..........Does he even knows that he is unwittingly bolstering a claim, or charge, (in some corners).................that Bolt, and the whole Jamaican team were actually using undiscoverable, super-exotic, performance enhancing drugs.................and if it were true, that would only prove them cunning, but definitely not smart?................To use Bolt, and the other super-athletes as example is actually very dumb...............The fact is that the athletes are good due to superb training and a high carbohydrate diet (yellow yam)..............But I wouldn't try to use them to prove exceptional smartness.
Actually, I lived also in Canada for 2yr in Quebec. I much prefer Quebec over Toronto any day. Furthermore, I've had the opportunity to visit Toronto many times BORING. La vie est trop courte pour se fâcher. Life's too short to get upset.
I know what the guy is trying to say But to say slavery was good for us beca it produce great athletes can be open to all type of interpretation. Lets discuss the negatives like the mental slavery and loss of our name, language, culture, religion and man telling me to go read book ? Which book bredrin ? King james ? Thank garvey selassie and rasta fari for awakening our up till then white minded black erased subservientness sucking up that many of us still have ! Chat bout !
He is saying that the people who went to Jamaica were not very receptive to the idea of slavery; they were the trouble-makers (Think of all the Jamaicans who fought against slavery). These people were the highly intelligent and athletic people, so because they were the "trouble-makers"; not very docile for slavery, they were brought to Jamaica instead. He is not justifying slavery.
Are you Jamaican? Do you understand how the education system in Jamaica is set up? Have you done an extensive research to understand why the people are considered smart? Have you checked notable names who are Rhodes scholars from Jamaica? If you fail to believe do your research instead of throwing insults. Waiting for you to respond because I've got reporte. If you coming for Jamaicans come good because we tongue light!
@@shanalynch2801 That doesn't mean that they are the smartest, so stop it. There's smart people all over the world. To much pride will bring you down. The heavenly father don't deal with to much pride that people have, he's loves us all, he loves people, but he does not like to much pride.
@@cruzechevy3485 how does Jamaicans being smart takes away from the smartness of other people worldwide? When people begin to degrade my country that's when it gets personal and I respond. So don't tell me to stop it.... people are so illogical these days that if a compliment is given to one person or a group of people, they think it's an attack on them. Giving someone else a compliment doesn't take away anything from you. I'm very patriotic so ensure that when you coming for Jamaicans you come good. Look how many times I've seen in magazine publications coming from the USA that certain people are the most beautiful or sexy in the world. Most times these people are Americans....have these people who have done the selection seen all the women in the world? No they haven't but yet the claim titles for these people. The rest of us just work with it and treat it as an hypothesis. You don't see the rest of the world taking offense but because Jamaica is a small island, you all think that all we say is "Yeah mon" all day long. Y'all think that you can just say anything about us without facing reporte...
@@cruzechevy3485 Don't Tell me anything about pride and what the Heavenly father doesn't deal with, Jamaicans are well aware. We are predominantly a Christian Country...our very national anthem is a prayer. Acknowledging strengths of a country is not pride. You all quote too much scripture out of context... use exegesis and don't be dogmatic. Can't tell me no foolishness. Kmt
if you know the history of Jamaica, then you would understand why. The poverty and corruption and the high debt Jamaica faces has socio political roots that were set in place to prevent prosperity of the island. Jamaica is blessed and is rich is natural resources and beauty as well as intellectually, the talent of the people.
This comment is the height of ignorance. Mismanagement of a country can cause poverty. Also, brain drain...I don't think I need to spell that out....if I have to it means you need to be reeducated.
Solve your country's poverty issue, and then you can don that title. Until then it's just smoke and mirrors....Usain Bolt??? Smh. We, black people, have got to do better.
Are you hearing yourself. U preach to not get upset, yet u aim to insult? "BORING" Seriously dude? R we like 12 years old here? All I can say right now is typical. Carry on with your short life. Dueces
