The the Jamaica Olympic Team Doctor Herb Elliot was White, would he be branded as a racist for saying that the Jamaica team's sprinting success was linked to slavery?

  1. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH READING COMPREHENSION?  The doctor gave FACTUAL historical context to his statement.

    Jamaica's motto is "Out of Many One People"

    There are Jamaicans from China, Syria, Lebanon, India etc.

    Get over your own racism and just deal with the fact that black team whopped your countries backside.

    And they did it on their own.


  2. Jamaica is colony of England. what do you think???

  3. (Totally ignoring you ignorant statement) Yes, there is White people in Jamaica, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa. Get over the shock!

    Go read a text book and learn more about how the British and the Spaniards inhabited Jamaica.
