WE are what happened to Jamaicans.
We are the people who give people money for no quid pro quo. Rewarding bad service and behavior equally or more than for good. Sending money to scammers to collect on Lottery winnings when we didn't even play a lottery and now they fight over the business it brings in. Provided TV and Movies where gunmen are glorified. Buy their ganja they export which provides money for smugglers to pay the growers with guns. Training future gangsters on the streets of American cities how to deal drugs and use guns instead of working hard for a living. Many of US are not setting a good example for them.
Our country in 1975 and Jamaica in 1975 were pretty good places to live. Just like in 2016, we are again becoming pretty similar and that isn't that much of a good news story either.
As my best friend Marshall says, "Jamaicans are either very good or very bad. The ones that are very good will melt your heart and the ones that are very bad will rip out your heart and eat it"
