Homer Sylvester on In house racism…

"Racism in Jamaica is clearly more a matter of self-disdain and contempt than it is an abhorrence for any other race. And while racism towards any race can never be a healthy burden to bear, it's obvious that the self-disrespect among most Jamaicans must be the very root of most crime and violence. You hear recurring cries of the wickedness of the white slavemasters, yet who really is at the root of the cries coming from black people today, if not their own black brothers?"
