“Him Haffa-get a Beatin”, as Peter Tosh would say.
Stereotypes exist for a reason, they are often true.
She seems perfectly reasonable.
It’s always been a known fact that the majority of Africans will rarely date or wed an American black. I was told this by an African years ago and witnessed it in my place of employment.
She seems perfectly reasonable.
Sanity and decency rules. If you’re not happy doing business with her, she’s more than happy, yes, even encouraging you, to Go. Somewhere. Else.
Were all her short-term renters Black Americans? Or were those who were not also a problem?
For a vacation landlord, quick turnover is expensive. The owner has to allow cleaning time between renters, and a one- or two-night stay might fall at a point in the week that results in a vacancy or a day or more.
I sympathize with the person while not seeing the utility of her making a TikTok video about her.
Americans should have the same freedom of association. Yet, here in America, diversity and negro worship are the national religions, despite 1A. All Americans are forced to worship at the altar of the new religion, created by founder Ted Kennedy, or be convicted of blasphemy and ostracized from society. There are even thought/hate crimes for those who speak against the national religion.
I'm sure she's not worried that anyone in Jamaica will disagree with her. Most of them have some sort of interaction with tourists I'm sure.
Ironically, when my mother-in-law was in the Peace Corps in Jamaica a number of years ago, she had similar observations about the locals as this lady has about black tourists. My MIL said that the black locals they were trying to help treated the volunteers like they were their servants. They were extremely rude, had no appreciation for anything, and in fact had highly entitled attitudes, like they were owed the charity that was being extended to them. Sounds exactly like home here in what used to be America.
In NYC, when I was about 12, I was assaulted by some teenagers.
In NYC, when I was a young person going home from work, I was held up at knife-point and the people demanded I give them everything I had on me, including my money and watch and wallet. That happened to me twice on the subway.
When I was a bit older (30-something) I was accosted on the street on my way home, and was robbed of everything they could take.
All of those incidents were perpetrated by yound black kids and men. I was never assaulted or robbed by Hispanics or whites while I lived in NYC.
I’ll just leave it at that. (Draw your own conclusions)
BTW, I’m Hispanic and was engaged to a beautiful young black girl while I was in my twenties. My point is that, I was never a racist and I’m not one now, but, the crime statistics do point to a whole lot of trouble with young black kids and men.
I met African blacks decades ago in college who considered American city blacks to be extremely beneath them.
this woman is absolutely correct....there is an air of privilege among certain groups, and it just doesn't fly in other countries.....
we could argue that American blacks have been thru so much, but no one alive in this generation or the last or even the one before that ever faced legal discrimination, let alone slavery....its time to get your act together, after the trillions spent trying to help you...
Color me shocked. Whoever would of thunk?
Speaking truth... to everyone.
“She seems perfectly reasonable.”
For a black white supremacist.
My sister taught math to many black middle school students over 45 years. She frequently observed how polite, ambitious, and hard-working the African kids were. She also observed how appalled the African kids (and their immigrant parents) were by American blacks.
