His description of how race is perceived in Jamaica is spot on. His description of Jamaican nicknames cracked me up.

In the song “Hey Baby” by Stephen Marley and obviously one of the goats mos def, he says “Ive been gone awhile away from you and i hope you OVERstand”. Now i know why he says overstand instead of UNDERstand. Thank you!

I SAID that Jamaica has become even more black this is a FACT. Check the urban centers now vs. 1996. Now I went to an exclusive prep school in the early 90's, I went to a traditional high school in the mid 90's to early 2000's. I've been back I can say with 1000 percent certainty Jamaica is blacker than ever and that is fine. The stinge of colonialism is most evident in the Baby Boomer Generation, like my parents etc they are both black but have very mixed backgrounds and you can tell by looking at them. During the 1970's all of my paternal extended relatives, friends, and more have fled the country to Canada and that has not stopped. Also, a lot of people from rural Jamaica migrate they don't even move to Kingston, straight from the country to overseas. Are you denying the brain drain in Jamaica? Peter and Paul, Stella Marris today vs. 1996 just watch the School Challenge Quiz. By the way before Colombus got here they were no black ppl kmt.

@15:32 Etymology It is generally understood that the term comes from the Hindi and Telugu word kulī (क़ुली)(కూలి), meaning "day-labourer", which is probably associated with the Urdu word kulī (قلی), meaning "slave". The Urdu word is thought to come from the Tamil word kulī ("hire" or "hireling"). The word kūli, meaning "wages", is present throughout the Dravidian language family, with the exception of the North Dravidian branch. It is also thought that the Hindi word qulī could have originated from the name of a Gujarati aboriginal tribe or caste. The Chinese word kǔlì (苦力) is an instance of phono-semantic matching that literally translates to "bitter strength" but is more commonly understood as "hard labour".[citation needed] In 1727, Engelbert Kämpfer described coolies as dock labourers who would unload Dutch merchant ships at Nagasaki in Japan.

In regards to patios variation based on geographical location in Jamaica , the answer is yes . Different parishes that you go to will have slight differences in the accent and the slangs that they use , for example someone from Montego Bay will sound totally different from someone in St Elizabeth .

JAMAICA - Out of many, one people - I love this!!! Actually, there are different variations of patois. Interesting to note is-- patois is NOT unique to Jamaica -- In addition, there is a standard form of Jamaican patois and a number of variants within Ja. There is a jamaican patois dictionary and an entire department at the University of the West Indies( Mona) dedicated to the study of language that focuses on Jamaican patois.

Thank you, Mark in light people about our culture🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 love the video very interested

Bro you got this dude!!!!! His videos are f***en hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂

16:40 I would call Patois it’s own language tbh, it’s a creole language so it’s an amalgamation of other languages, but distinct in its own

These questions are amazing the atmosphere amazing the speech pronunciation amazing you look proper and wow this podcast is probably one of the best I've ever seen in my life and I fully mean that , large up yourself bro ‼️

@sidequestz Love your take on the Rock. #Real #NoPosing A view from a different angle - the versatility of Jamaicans!

Hey Mark this Is a dope interview as a Jamaican it cool to see you so genuinely interested in the culture. Come visit bro flagrant fans are here 2

That Jamaican rizz improv floored me😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Incredible pod fellas. Gideons shorts are hysterical

Gideon you've lived your life very well so far. Many of us black people have been born in places where we were the minority - and you have felt this too at times through living in Jamaica . You're one of us. Many of us had to navigate a culture which was NOT natively ours and learnt it,learned to embrace it, and had to find ourselves and joy within it. It's hard in early life especially but it gets better and so wonderful if you have wisdom and kindness about you. Well done! Keep going. We understand much of your experience and accomplishments, the emotional growth, and spiritual significance of such as journey. 🔆 Great interviewer too, very authentic vibe.

The Interviewer did extensive research to conduct this interview. Appreciate it

Yeah man my family mix too My father's family on my dad's side are French- Jewish, Spanish mix, and my mom's side are English and Scottish descent ,Out of Many One people!! Bless up!!!🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲👍👍👍👍

I needed this interview so badly

For me I never understand why people from other country don't realize that in Jamaica we have every nationality we treat them as they are Jamaicans I have no idea what is so hard for everyone to understand in Jamaica we don't care if you're a Jamaican you're a Jamaican so him being white seem to be puzzling you that he could be white in Jamaican he's not the only white Jamaican are is family there is lots of white Jamaicans who were born in Jamaica who has never left Jamaica and they still live in Jamaica today there's a parish named Saint Elizabeth Treasure Beach or practically all white they were born in Jamaica and they died in Jamaica because they have never traveled to another country we have another place in Jamaica called Germantown we are a lot of white Jamaicans live they're not treated differently they go to the same school they eat the same food when I was a kid growing up in Jamaica our neighbors were what you would call White Jamaicans we just saw them as our neighbors and her friends they weren't white Jamaicans they were Jamaicans so please everyone stop saying white Jamaican just say Jamaican and don't forget our motto out of many one people😮

Dude seems chill. Great interview homie 💯

Out of many one……, repping Jamaica on a positive note. Big up 👍🙏🏽

Just love the preparation and great questions..this is awesome! First time watching your videos but i love it!

I never noticed it In his videos other than when he does the Jamaican videos but watching this podcast you can definitely hear his Jamaican accent when he talks.

English King Edward I conquered northern Wales and made it a principality in 1284 Edward I of England was in complete control of Scotland in August 1296 English Conquest of Ireland, c. 1530-c. 1650 In 1655 a British expedition under Admiral Sir William Penn and General Robert Venables captured Jamaica and began expelling the Spanish, a task that was accomplished within five years. ☝🏽Referencing Cambridge & Britannica above to give a brief history lesson to back up my original post regarding the historical time period intended in the original post below👇🏽 The UK comprises of 4 Countries, Ireland, Scotland, England & Wales. There were populations from all 4 countries, however majority of the UK population in Jamaica were Scottish. Jamaica has the most Scottish Surnames outside of Scotland.

@@GarlicFistOk, TO BE SPECIFIC THE REPUBLIC of IRELAND IN THE MODERN ERA IS NOT A PART OF THE UK…….….. AT THE TIME OF JAMAICA’S CONQUEST FROM SPAIN, IRELAND WAS A PART OF THE UK👍🏽….. Please keep the information I wrote within the context it was intended. My intention was not to have an extenuous history lesson here….. This is just referring to the cultural influences & surnames in Jamaica. EACH CARIBBEAN ISLAND HAD ITS OWN MAJORITY POPULATION FROM THE UK. That’s the reason why the Scottish & Irish majority islands were the first to gain independence. ONE L❤VE🇯🇲

Wow! Just came across this podcast and it's so cool. As a Jamaican, this is quite an informative and credible interview. However, the Jamaican Patois is on a continuum so there are 3 levels...1) Basilect, 2) Mesolect and 3) Acrolect. The "upper St. Andrew" accent is the Acrolect whereas the Mesolect is what most Jamaicans use. The Basilect is only used by a few in some rural regions like St. Elizabeth, etc. (Mi bin de go dung de su) The Basilect is the raw patois. I will certainly subscribe to this challenge as it is quite cool...

The British used the term Coolie to describe the Chinese and Indian Labourers who travelled there then the Jamaicans adopted it.
