I'm curious...
What is a "brown jamaican"?
I read a passage by Canadian "breh" Malcolm Gladwell and he said his mother wasn't considered "black" like an African American, but "brown", like another group altogether, due to her "Irish Planter" heritage.
:jbhmm:
Could some of y'all assist an inquiring breh? He threw me off a few times with his theories.
Is the US the only country that practiced HYPODESCENT?
:patrice:

A black person with light skin, well that's what I learned from my family anyways.

In my experience I've never met a jamaican, light or dark that didn't consider themselves black like an African American. Black is blacks, at least in my family anyways:manny:
