Wearing black and braving a blistering sun, Jamaicans gathered on Saturday to lend support to global protests against police abuses sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month.

Floyd, a black American, died in Minneapolis after a white police officer knelt on his neck during an arrest. In a country where the vast majority of people are of African descent, Jamaicans say racism can take on subtler forms. “You have persons in Jamaica who don’t believe we experience anything remotely racist, but technically it can be described as colorism,” she said, noting that Jamaicans with lighter skin are perceived as superior to those with darker skin.

If all lives matter, why are you against universal healthcare?

Everybody should listen to reggae for a few weeks .. Peter Tosh , Bob Marley , Burning Spear etc. they were all talking about the same oppression we are fiting today .. we failed to hear before - I hope we don’t make the same mistake again.

don't jamaicans have enough have enough problems. that whole place is black, what is there beef?

Enough in Chicago black lives slaughterhouse. So far this year 232 blacks shot and killed by other blacks and 1,035 shot and wounded by other blacks. No protests by black Americans and white liberals is evidence black lives only matter when they can be politically exploited.

They are angry because trump don't let them enter in USA 😒

All lives matter. Including unborn babies. Enough is enough also means stop rioting. Protest peacefully. realDonaldTrump BorisJohnson netanyahu WHO UN UNICEF human UNHumanRights BBCBreaking BBCNews BBCWorld JustinTrudeau NHKWORLD_News GermanyUN AP

Jamaicans support a monster who held a pregnant woman at gunpoint? Jamaicans support a monster who was murdered by a cop and there was no evidence racism played a part? Not enough funding goes to schools

Will they turn away white holidaymakers? I think not!!! 🤑🤑

Tão tudo maconhado...

No Ganja, no peace

George Floyd wasn't a hero. He's a criminal yet he shouldn't die that way. Stop the hypocrisy. How many blacks died at the hands of blacks and there was no protest? Let's all condemn every violence in our society, let's not be selective. Let's fight for AllLivesMatters

Enough is enough I hope they realize the biggest threat to Black lives are other black lives 80% of homicides are black males killing black males

Very cool every day A new update to the protests I think we'll see the Jews soon, too 😭😭

It's Not Enough to Quit Your JobAcross the country, white people are being called on to use their power and privilege to lift up black people—by hiring them, promoting them, and in some cases actively relinquishing power. In a particularly bold reflection of this stance, Alexis Ohanian announced that he will step down from his seat on the board of Reddit, the company he founded with two other young white men in 2005. \n Right behind you, . Should he also flagellate until you are appeased? Also he quit his 'job' at reddit long ago. What he is quitting now is a very powerful sit on the board or directors and asking that he be replaced by a black woman or man. Its not something he can enforce but he's cleared the way.
