no this was just the fuse , resentment was simmering among the brethren , at that time 90 % of retail was controlled by the chinese ,the rest among the syrians and lebanese and they always undercut the black jamaicans who could not compete . It was like the mafia.

while i understand how the creole jamaicans must have felt.
If that causes killing looting. its racism
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

The Caribbean has many more serious issues than bemoaning the Plight :
Of a couple of Chinese and Euros...

dont put words in my mouth Dave. you wish your project has frustrated and angered me. not in th least. ..not a factor at all.
yu see I know wat you apparently do not.
everything must stand the test of time. how long do you think you doc will last as a point of interest for people looking for info on the westindies..acurate and properly presnted and useful stuff, they may use to further themselves and their interest/projects?
do yu think on merit your work will be included in achieves collected by regional governments for academic use for example?
if is is it wud be as an example of racism and upper class attack on westindies/westindians... which is what your work actually is as far as I see.
and if yu do this as a calling, whatever else yu produce is likely in the same vein. you are, in the realm of docs, wat such as Tony Cozier and Reds Perierria are in cricket journalism
if your work becomes a use value it wont be for what you think and expect I am sure.
as it stands I am doing you a favour by paying attention to you and your work. you are right. I shud stop. there is absolutely no benefit in it for me
.
time tells about everything...based on truth and accuracy, and good intent.
on that basis your work has nowhere to go but a dusty long term, position on youtube, despite the support of such as SCA and krishna.
with lone support of such as those 2 yu in bad shape indeed
