Happy holiday family time!
I'm not sure how you can infer that because someone dislikes our President that he/she has no love or respect for the Jamaican people. That's a stretch at best, and insulting at worst. I personally do NOT like our President, and could detail why, but don't feel thats necessary to illustrate my point. How I feel about the leader of our country in NO WAY reflects how I feel about ANYONE else. I judge people as individuals, not members of a group or based on skin color, as this seemingly implies. ASking how I feel about the color green has nothing to do with my opinions on the color red.....In that same vein, how I feel about Obama has absolutely NOTHING to do IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER how I feel about the entire Jamaican culture/people. Implying otherwise is just as insulting as the suggestion Jamaica could keep him, or any other comment referring to Obama...ignorance has MANY faces, apparently. While implying we should have love and respect for all, you've managed to insult people yourself. To think that people cannot separate their feeling about one person from their feeling on an entire nation's people isn't giving people any credit whatsoever. Do you honestly believe people, collectively to be THAT ignorant? I don't like Roseanne Barr. Are you going to infer that I hate ALL women from that statement?!? Do you understand how offensive your statement really is? Its an insult to my intelligence that you seemingly believe that because I don't like our current leadership that I must be racist, and therefore cannot respect Jamaican culture. Nothing could be further from the truth, and its a cheap shot to even hint otherwise. Its his politics I don't care for, not his skin color. If you think people's issues with his Presidency are based on color, you're far more part of the problem than I am, IMO.Originally Posted by spreadlove

I think somebody hit a nerve
I just think its incredibly ignorant and short-sighted to imply that one cannot appreciate the Jamaican people while actively disliking Obama. Obama does NOT =Jamaica in any way, shape or form, and its entirely possible to have independent opinions of either. To think or imply otherwise is just silly talk. How can anyone disagree with that?
Throw a rock and_____________
Troublemaker, it appears you and I will never agree on this topic. I said what I said - with no regrets, and you did the same. Let's agree to disagree.
Yes, you said what you said, which to me seemed to imply if you don't like our black president, how could you like Jamaicans who are also black? Nice job turning this into an issue of race which it wasnt until you said something. People are entitled to disagree with the president and even say so in public, it's one of the things that makes the USA great.
It's amazing how one will read into "I wonder".
You need to really look at yourself in the mirror to see where all this vigor is coming from.
The fact that thePresident will be visiting jamaica is a very big deal. Some people just need to make disrespectful little comments every time his name comes up. I definitely don't agree with all of his policies but I think he's a good man and certainly deserves more respect than he gets. It sickens me that Americans talk like they do about him. He won two elections and people still won't accept it.
When multiple people read the same thing in your words, it's I who wonders. I just say WOW at your statement.
Maybe you should explain yourself Instead of just saying that you said what you said, so be it. What else could you be wondering about?
Starting to think you're just a troll trying to stir the pot.
