i am.lizzy brown

So...why call yourself 'White Yardie'? Or is this a misnomer? Your whole persona is based around your title. Are you actually ethnically Caucasian or 'Jamaican ' white? Are your parents 'white'? None of these questions were answered. 'Fair / brown/red skin' Jamaicans have,since slavery times, sheltered under the umbrella of 'whiteness' to separate themselves from black skinned Jamaicans. George William Gordon was not ethinically white as you confidently stated. He was a 'fair skinned' black man of mixed ethnicity and was born a slave. His white SCOTTISH father gave him, his son, freedom at the age of 10. GWG mother was an enslaved African. To describe Indians (0.8% of the population) as more authentically Jamaican is dispicable and is divisory. Afro-Jamaicans form over 90% of the population and 10% is everyone else. It is a tragedy that the original inhabitants of the island - The Tainos were wiped off the face of the earth by the Spaniards. And it is a further tragedy, that enslaved Africans who toiled the land for 400 years with blood sweat and tears, never once tasted the abundant fruit of their relentless, enforced, barbaric labour and their children today,at home & across the diaspora are barely surviving on the bitter fruit discarded by the colonialists in 1962. You really are a comedian because listening to you was a huge joke!
