Why are they so Homophobic in Jamaica,
All raga artists got a battyboy die song; any party playing ragga will have at least one more like a few songs supporting the virtues of violence towards Homosexuals
Theres a lot of places where they hate gays but they don’t sing about it, there isn’t always at least 1 song in the chart regarding it is there
Eg Texas, where gays are hated, Romania where it was against the Law until the EU told them to change it if they have any change of joining, but no songs about it, they prefer to pretend it dosnt exsist,,,
Does anybody care to suggest why this is.

Its not on IMO. :mad:
Its a culture thing, 'black' male culture has this very overtly masculine thing going on, it can be seen here and in the US too, and obviously homosexuality doesnt fit with that. Concerning really because it goes hand in hand with the extreme violence that can be part of young black culture, especially in Jamaica.
It's a different culture. Why should they change?
In my experience most blacks are homophobic, be they African or West Indians. I don't know why!
Because it's infringing on people's rights to a loving and intimate relationship.
And we used to have slavery why should we have changed,
Theres terrrable abuse that goes on there towards gays outright murder, the polce do nothing,
There was the first ever gay pride march planned in Jamaca it was canceled because of a sudden rise in sales of machete's just before the march.
Who also should change some of their laws imo. Religion is no excuse to enforce hatred on any minority.
What's the basis of these rights?
Murder of gays shouldn't be tolerated but why look down on a culture that doesn't share your sensibilities?
If you dont tolorate it., how can that not be looking down at them.
Damn you got there first...
But I would also add the Church of England too, bearing in mind lukesh's apparent patriotism...
Look up Maslow's heirarchy of needs... Shouldn't we have the right to good mental health ? There must be something there stating that...
Who said anybody was looking down on it?
Stay on topic. :rolleyes:
Basic humanity.
People have the right to think what they like, but when that impinges on other people's rights to live their lives, then its wrong.
Aren't you always going on about people's rights to freedom? :rolleyes:
What?
Do you have a point?
The Home Office is always on tippy-toes when hatred comes from minority ethnics
Prosecute I say
The point is to learn what a moral and legal right is.
What has that got to do with this thread though?
It pains me to have to agree with you, but on this I do.
Though I have thought for many eyars that the executives at BBC Radio One should be stoned to death.
A 'right to love' is only a moral right. I know of no country in the world that recognises a right to love.
I find that quite disturbing.
And who are "the black community"?
Look sorry for that post Blagsta Major Tom had not signed me off his computer from when i last used it and posted under me, i have deleted the post as i did not agree with it.
I will make sure i sign off in future
