Life Without Black People
.
A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people.
.
At first these white people breathed a sigh of relief.
.
‘At last’, they said, ‘no more crime, drugs, violence and welfare.’
. All of the blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in. The ‘NEW AMERICA’ is not America at all - only a barren land. Read More

This is hilarious! A true classic.
.
A lawyer and a Jamaican are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that Jamaicans are so dumb that he can fool them easy… So the lawyer asks if the Jamaican would like to play a fun game.
.
The Jamaican is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and says that the game is a lot of fun.
.
‘I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me only $5; You ask me one, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $500.’
This catches the Jamaican’s attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.
.
The lawyer asks the first question.
.
‘What’s the distance from The Earth to the moon?’
.
The Jamaican doesn’t say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
.
Now, it’s the Jamaican’s turn.
.
He asks the lawyer, ‘What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?’

Jamaica’s High Commissioner to Canada Sheila Sealy Monteith has recommended this brilliantly-made, two-part documentary that details much of Jamaica’s march to Independence.
.
The documentary is excellent …
.
It is recommended to all - Jamaicans and non-Jamaicans - and in particular to young people. It will help bring perspective to the struggle endured to gain the independence Jamaicans enjoy today.
.
This is extremely interesting and useful information on the beginnings of the process of Jamaica’s formal independence …….
