@celebriD People love the idea of getting married, but not the whole process to ensure it will last the test of time.

This issue is still present in Jamaica; the real reason many see patois as inferior or primitive is due to colonial conditioning. We were made to believe the coloniser’s language is the “master language".

[NOVELBRIEFS @nocturrnalhours]

@rirokpik In Black Skins and White Masks, Fanon cautiously breaks down the colonized mind's struggles with linguistic inferiority. It is taught that African dialects are inferior and that fluency in the master's language is the only way for intellectual validity.

Fanon is a MUST read.

@bokang_13 @rirokpik Sadly, this is still present in the Caribbean. Here in Jamaica, many loathe the use of patois and even call it broken English. Crazy how everything Fanon spoke about is still present today.

@JamaicaObserver The ceremonial mace in Jamaica’s Parliament staff represents the authority of the monarch for a people that likes to boast about being “independent.” We sure love to hold on to the vestiges of our "masters."

@AkinOlokun The main goal is to cleanse the colon, but thanks for the suggestions.

@fleekyonthebeat Let us not forget the pressure on our water resource. The dam is heavily silted, last time it was over 40% silt and approximately 60% capacity. Just look out for more water issues in the long run

@Zauvaughn Ignorance is rampant in Jamaica and pretty much glorified. So we can’t be shocked when they accept propaganda.

@lukeyism Less said about the Chair the better, history would suggest, his “side” of the bench will never oppose “uncle”

[Jordan @jdan_93]

@Zauvaughn Many of the leaders are in “bed” with the US.

@DOmowale What were some of the aspects of our culture that you would say did not work?

[Jordan @jdan_93]

@DOmowale Any good books you’d recommend? I often use some of your content as reference points in teaching Caribbean Studies.

[Jordan @jdan_93]

@DOmowale Sometimes I wonder what would have been if he, Padmore and CLR never had these ideological differences. Respect for the insight as always.

@FerragamoWx People are not often cognizant of the role these systems play with the Heat Budget of the planet

@HustleBitch_ The island is gone? When most of the damage done was mainly in the western end of the island. Are there areas of isolated damage away from the west, yes, but to say the island is gone is beyond a stretch smh.

@joeldilworth You would think people would know by now that we live in a disaster zone

[Jordan @jdan_93]

@Alanzoroy What people don’t realise is that using this data to say things are “great” is flawed. STATIN has changed how they categorise employment numbers. You could only work for 1 minute out of the year and still be employed.

@JairoJuergen Will be using this tweet as a talking point for my Caribbean Studies lesson on regional integration….but u are spot on, people must wake up and move away from the divisive discourse.
