The problem is poor nations that depend on tourism, and tourists feeling like Kings when theyre in these places.

It's why British, Chinese and American tourists are considered terrible guests in many countries.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
Number 1. Jamaicans and Caribbean’s used this shyt to fuel their already hate toward black Americans. But check it. Everybody is fukked up here. They shouldn’t have booked during hurricane season. And Jamaica shouldn’t have been BOOKING during hurricane season. Also. They are being told they can’t leave but still are being charged upwards of $200 bucks nightly for their rooms. Number 2. The women complaining aren’t even black American. They are CARIBBEAN AMERICAN. There has also been UK black people and other people from all over the world who have been making videos complaining as well. Amanda Seales made a video and I was bout to light her shyt up too but she limited her comment section. There was people in her comments saying that there was plenty of black American tourist helping the hotel workers n everything and Amanda Seales responded and said “don’t tell me what to post..”. Because if it doesn’t get clicks muthafukkas don’t care. And that’s the problems. Caribbeans, Africans etc etc come here and blend in and acclimate to our customs, accent and language and whenever they act up they get lumped in with us and WE take the heat for the shyt. I’m tired of it. And I have love for everyone. But I’m dead tired of the shyt I grew up in BK around nothing but caribbeans my whole life. Got called a yankee and all kinda shyt just for being black American so I know the deal and how they be feeling.

When you think of how large the tourism industry is in JA, 1 or 2, quite a few, or even 100 of such videos would represent less than 1% of the current tourists there.

99% + of the tourists either cut their stays short and left ahead of the hurricane, or are dealing with their situation knowing the catastrophe that has occured.
And most of them know that they will be compensated for their inconvenience, at a later date.

Even dozens of videos of irate tourists doesnt change the fact that they represent a tiny fraction of people vacationing, and that the overwhelming majority is making do until they can return home.
Social Media does give off the impression that it’s the general consensus (whatever the issue is)

There were white tourists posted catching up on their sun tan in the aftermath now that seemed absurd...


Social media is poison 😕

Why do you guys care about how Caribbean Americans/Jamaicans/UK "Blacks" feel? Just laugh about what they're experiencing. They're not Black.


From the responses in here one would think some of you are experiencing shame and embarrassment. Not a good look.
