Gabby Thomas: “I am a Jamaican”
- Thread starter Mr. Met
- Start date
we do not have to invent our heroes....
No surprise there. There's a lot of top tier track stars who ran for the US as well as other countries but have Jamaican roots
OP that is super old and she pandered to Jamaicans when asked a question.
She has 1 Jamaican grandparent by her father who is also half white American and was born in America.
She's 1/4 Jamaican, and half Black American from her mom that raised her.
Gabby's "Jamaican" father with a message to Jamaicans...
Look at that Yank flag behind him.
When your island only wins 6 medals total and half your sprinters refused to even show up, you have to live thru the mixed ancestry of our athletes. Gabby would never run track nationally for Jamaica.

We ALL BLACK with different addresses. Who fucking cares
ADOS coons care for some stupid reason
She is correct, so what is the issue or comedic factor here?
The only people pushing “black” these days are the pro-whites and the lost lineage / confused so-called blacks.
We made them stop repping their Caribbean heritage and islands and only identify as black now. That is power.

You are such a miserable faggit.
Imagine your country's number one love and motivation (besides jumping off of the roofs of shanty houses to dry hump bitches for "dance") is another country's 5th most important sport and they STILL dominate you ?
These carribeans got this internal nationalistic pride over race. It always shows its ugly head at times.
What’s the purpose in saying she Jamaican and she ain’t even full Jamaican. She should be proud of her black American Ados/FBA side. That side is way more valuable, celebrated, copied and admired worldwide not no Jamaican or Caribbean or African side.
Caribbeans got all this pride but nothing to be proud of.

Beat it, faggot.
Classic
I don't know if it has changed since I was born. My Jamaican birth certificate doesn't state race. Neither does my parents or my parents parents birth certificates. I never heard the N word or was told I'm Black, until I came to NYC at the age 5.
When I was in the second grade in Catholic school I showed my teacher Mrs, Defalco, I was brown and she was piggy pink. I had not grasped the concept of referring to folks by the color of their skin. Especially when the wrong colors were being used. That bitch was the bane of my existence after my attempts to correct her colorist contentions.
Suffice to say I told my mother the people at that school were wicked and I didn't want to go there anymore. So she let me go to public school the next year. Knowing there would be hell on Earth if I was forced to stay in that miserable place.

My women won more medals in one day than their country won the whole event.
They don't have a lot of cultural heroes and have always looked to us for inspiration and innovation as far as culture and religion goes. So it's somewhat understandable they want to claim our icons.
I'm sure Gabby is proud of her grandfather, but she waves our flag proudly. If Shericka or even Shelly show up instead of chickening out, this thread doesn't get made.
Nationality... Ethnicity... Identity... Conflation
May 5,1494 Christopher Columbus, a Hispanic of Portugal, set foot on Xaymaca. The letter "J" had not yet been introduced to Latin or English, for that matter. Columbus, described my people as Moors. Moors, is what autochthonous people were called. In Hispania, we were called Morenos & Morenas. Columbus, brought back Hebrew translators to speak with the people of Xaymaca.
Moor was a term used referring to men and women of melanin rich skin. Before the transatlantic wars that labeled us Negros. Which simply means Black in Latin. Those pale faces of Hispania, today are the invaders of Hispania, who came as refugees in the 4th century. Suffice to say, one of the greatest tricks devils ever pulled was convincing the original nations they were not already here. And were all brought from Africa.

You beat it coconut and go back to your Ran down homeland and fix it up and stop leeching off FBA.
What grade school did you go to? That name sounds awfully familiar. I remember the principle at my grade school (Our Lady of Grace in the Bronx) was a Mrs Defalco.
So is she
I don't see what the big deal is

I'm sorry but black American chics are not on my radar anymore. They are too far gone. When you go to the foreign countries and interact with the women you'll see what I'm talking about.
Black people world wide have always identified as black. The only difference between us and those born and raised in the continent is a boat stop.We made them stop repping their Caribbean heritage and islands and only identify as black now. That is power.
That's the school I went to. It's on Bronxwood between 225 st and 226 st. Damn, that bitch became principal.
Yep that's the school. I was there from kindergarten in 1983 through 8th grade in 1992. Two of my favorite teachers there were old school Jamaican teachers named Mrs Lewis who taught 1st grade and Ms Reynolds who taught 7th grade.That's the school I went to. It's on Bronxwood between 225 st and 226 st. Damn, that bitch became principal.
This simply isn't true. A poster already admitted race wasn't on his birth certificate. It primarily WAS an American construct that is now no longer being used formally in society.
Only 5% of slaves came to the US during the TAST, Caribbeans are like 2 generations removed from Africa, we're like 7. And what we did after that "boat stop" seperates us when it comes to world history and impact.
Marcell Jacobs is a track and field star for Italy. His father is Black American. If we were desperate and only won 3-4 medals every Olympics I imagine we would try to claim him as one of us. But since only 9 countries won more medals than our ethnic group did, we don't.
Caribbeans in America on social media are painfully lost and have a deep identity crisis. All they do is listen to Black American music, dickeat Black American athletes, and use Black American slang. They are ashamed of their parents cultures but don't feel American. That's why people IN the Caribbean don't view them as authentic or even real islanders.

"Caribbeans are 2 generations removed from Africa" please tell me you're more educated than that or at least you're going based on most of their independence dates.This simply isn't true.

I was there for first and second grade from 77 to 79. I don't remember the name of my first grade teacher. Only that she was kind.
