"Only tourists call Jamaica 'paradise'"

[captaind]

Why do you all assume that all Jamaicans are poor?

I have numerous middle to upper class Jamaican friends. They have nice cars, homes and send their children to college.

Yes, I know that there are a great percentage of poor but it isn't all of Jamaican society.

The difference is that here in America we can have a reasonable hope to improve the situation. In most third world countries this is not so easy....especially now.

However, I know of very few Jamaicans who do not love their country. Listen to them sing the National Anthem.......

I'm an adopted Jamaican-American and I understand why "there's no place like home"
