now you are telling afro-caribbeans that they have no clue about discrimination that african-americans experience because we grew up in a "comfortable majority???" since when did slavery only exist in the United States of America?
seriously and i'm not trying to be funny here but mental health issues are best treated by mental health professionals. i'll be happy to refer you to a couple colleagues.
I pass in groups I could care less about passing. I don't pass in the populations that I belong to. Slavery ended when? Tell me dates in each island. Tell me how many of you have been direct recipients of racism on the island. How many of you have been harrased there? Seriously? I respect those that have experienced racism of any sort and I have heard of many cases by Caribbeans living abroad. But how much racism do you experience on average in the islands except in the cases where there is another big non-black population, like Trinidad. Honest Question. And I'm not saying there isn't discrimination, but I am saying how is that discrimination so much worse than what i experienced in my life?
