Ever Been Ashamed Of Your Skin Colour/Ethnicity?

[tino]

The problem is that the only black history ever taught in schools is slavery. There's a rich history in Africa but nobody is ever taught it.

^^^^^^

[Drift]

the knowledge is out there though, in books, bare videos on youtube. its bait that theyll never teach this in schools so we need to go out there and acquire the knowledge ourselves.

Certain time growing up I was embarrassed to say I was part Jamaican still.Just the PR Jamaicans push out, Green wigs, Yardies lol and the general lack of decorum alot of Jamaicans have.

I was taught about Benin and egypt in primary school but we also had the harvest festival and was gtold people live in mud hutssecondary all we learnt was slavery then we watched roots and the black girls beat up the white girls

Probably the only blackey in his village and whites greet him by saying Yo mon.

My sister used to have a serious complex about being dark skinned. Dont know where that even came from but as she got older she realised theres nothing wrong with her!

Of course, that's undeniable.But certain things like the militancy towards homosexuals make Jamaicans look like idiots worldwide.

Read above, there are many things synonymous with Jamaicans that are not so positive, if you can't see that then save the embarrassment for yourself.

I grew up in NW London saying that I have never claimed to be anything else.I remember a time in primary school alot of the African kids would say they were Jamaican, alot of Caribbean kids from different Islands would say they were Jamaican aswell which was baffling.I said it in here a few weeks back I've met more than 1 Indian girl begging part Jamaican/coolie too.It's more common than people think.

Do you have a slight Jamaican/ethnic accent?

[Benicio del Toney]

lol you must be Tr0lling, I was born in London.

[Dr Doom]

Are you saying that anyone born in London instantly loses any trace of an ethnic accent? It's a simple question that you have not answered.

[Benicio del Toney]

Ethnic accent?Do you mean slang or patois?If someone was born in London a Jamaican accent wasn't there to lose in the 1st place.

ethnic accentsounds like some sort of BNP lingo 'sir can you remember anything about your attacker?''yer he had one of them ethnic accents'

:D Nothing like that; just thinking of reasons he could hate his heritage.

it really doesnt make a difference to me whether theres a few loud jamaicans, with colourful wigs or a few jamaicans who lament about bunnin battymendoesn't make me embarrased or ashamed, they are just people, i love them said waysame way i wouldnt understand an English Man being ashamed of calling himself English because of the actions of some 'yobs' or so called 'chavs'your heritage is your heritage, if a few elements which u consider to be negative make you embarrased/ashamed of coming where u come from, that is sad times for youyou're different anyway, u use terms like wog socket and justify the use of terms like Monkey

That's the same for all nations, colours and creeds though.Edit: Smads already broke it down

You may love them, for all I know you have people in your family like this, it's quite probable in fact.But I have certain views and it doesn't give me cause to love them.

your heritage is your heritage, if a few elements which u consider to be negative make you embarrased/ashamed of coming where u come from, that is sad times for youyou're different anyway, u use terms like wog socket and justify the use of terms like Monkey

It isn't sad times for me at all, that is just your opinion, nothing else.I don't see how homosexuality being illegal in 2011 is a small thing, it isn't, your views obviously don't make you think it is a big deal, but that is where we differ.I use terms like wog socket and?I have a strong opinion on such people and use the word in jest to express my derision.Same with the word monkey, if anatomically modern humans cannot behave in a civilised fashion, after all that is part of what defines us as human, then why should they be called human?If I'm different then so be it, that I am proud of.
