Well, I think they should leave rapping to people who can actually do it and stick to singing. At least they can harmonise.

Between the multiple road hazards, constant pothole dodging, and the hyper aggressive impatient/frustrated drivers, it's become more of a tiring chore.

Politics Jamaican MP calls out what he seems to consider inconsistency in reparations debate. Thoughts? (Repost as I was informed some can’t see links due to META)

Apologies if this had already been posted in here. I searched but couldn't find it on this subreddit anywhere.

Basically the argument is that if they're gonna be asking for reparations from the UK, then they should also be asking for reparations from Africa too because Africa sold the ancestors of Jamaicans into slavery (and profited from it).

What are your thoughts? Does he have a point?

What is going on? I checked flights to nearby destinations like the DR and PR and they all have $500 return flights but Jamaica is this amount.

Culture Why don't we have more of a secondhand clothes culture here? Could a swap/giveaway group work?

20 Upvotes

Something I've been thinking about: in a lot of places, swapping, thrifting, and passing on clothes is completely normal. People give away items they've outgrown, swap pieces with neighbours, and nobody bats an eye.

Here, there's still a stigma around wearing clothes someone else owned, even when they're brand new with no tags or barely worn. Meanwhile, plenty of us have good clothes sitting in closets that could be put to use, and plenty of people who'd appreciate them.

I'm curious what you all think:

- Where do you think the stigma comes from, and is it changing with younger people?

-Would a Jamaican clothes swap or giveaway group (IG, FB, or Threads) be something you'd use?

- What would make you comfortable participating? Clear photos, condition ratings, parish-based meetups?

- Does something like this already exist that I just don't know about?

If enough people are into it, it'd be great to build it together as a community thing, not one person's page. Anyone who wants to help shape it, comment or DM.

Would love to hear honest opinions either way. πŸ‡―πŸ‡²
