When we had first moved to Jamaica in 1960, my sister and I (both Blonde and obviously white) had been able to ride our horses up into the hills, and, whenever we encountered local Jamaicans, their salutation to us was open and friendly, as was ours to them. As things deteriorated into the reign of terror, and then the government instituted overnight citizen disarmament, when we ventured outside our home, we almost always encountered hate-filled stares and hostile hisses of, "Eh, white bitch! Eh, look 'ere, white bitch!" and other unprintable epithets.

"Among other evils caused by being disarmed, it renders you contemptible" Niccolo Machiavelli, "The Prince", Chapter XIV, 1514 AD (L. Ricci translation, pg. 81, 1952)

Niccolo Machiavelli again:

"Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years." The Art of War, 1521 AD (E. Farneworth translation, pg. 30, 1965)
