thats good!  yuh cyan remain a nation of 1 as others move to sanity.  or you can re-migrate.  no one stopping you.

a very smart and erudite comment indeed!  . ( dat is tongue in cheek)
[/quote]Me Trini Bredda , I strongly disagree  wid you .
You lost your African  identity , not by choice but by force and brutality . They took away your name and culture and gave you theirs .
I am fortunate that  to have  retained some things of religion and culture  from my Indianess  and it defines me
This  does not preclude me from also having a Caribbean culture as well

Quote:Why can't people realize that the Indians, Blacks, Hispanics, Chinese etc in the Caribbean each have their own separate and distinct cultural and national identities. 

The only commonalities are history and geography.  So it's absurd to put a catch all label on such a diverse group of people and try to fit everyone in the same box.

yuh know wat I have been looking for..a standing moment..when everything stayed the same, never moved ever changed.

If I get dat I might be able to stretch it out so that I cud live forever. 

snoop is a lawyer and all dat but he wont get anywhere with judges and juries with that kind or reasoning. 

how did India become Indian..what is Indian composed of on all levels and what went into its making ::confused::

same questions about everything/everyone/every race..how, why, when ..and what's happening now as we speak..and who he hell has any control of it?

what is diversity? is it relative only to race/biology or is a general factor of existence way beyond biological factors.  is it principle of existence itself?

why does life burgeon out in diversity from from small populations and limited bases?

does it have anything to do with limited individual and subjective perspectives..or is it an objective reality that would yield t investigation, research product itself of factual observance and research

if snoops wants to remain Indian he is free to seek that.  one sure fire way is to die now or immersion in Indian-ness and among Indians.  for that he will have to go back to the heart of Indian ultimately.  and ultimately not even that will protect Indian-ness

good luck!

You dont even know what a kweh kweh is ...

Obeah and Comfa drums with other African culture 

even our Yoruba singers can teach you ...

Maps I suggest you give up your Khaki for some Dashiki

Ok Maps.  Please explain what is this creature known as "Caribbean Identity". 

And remember, if something has an "identity", it means it can be easily identifiable because of it's unique identifiable characteristics.

you can disagree all you want but I don't see that life has any dam thing to do with what you and snoops talking about.  life is biological and will survive the way it can, according to its make up and the way the environment evolves. 

if we do not have the legs as the environement evolves like Dino we will pass away.  that is all.  all the exceptionalisms, racism, superirorities dont mean a dam thing

its like tall people who have the world in their hands currently..Shaq, Joakim Noah, Serena..all ah dem.  see how things getting scare, hunger, food shortage, environmental spoilage....yuh notice ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

fus' people to keel over is all them starboy an' dem.  they cant make it.  they need too much and life will not have it to give them any more.  it will likely be the most hardy adaptable types that don't need much to live..short, skinny, cockroach types

thats what i know life to be..not no racial superiority.  allyuh doh know what superiority is.
