Even if we can’t manage our affairs we don’t need your advice, ‘cause you can’t manage yours either.

The US will hunt down human-rights issues everywhere else in the world, yet somehow they seem to be missing it bigly in their own country. While they have taken on the role to police the rest of the world, who is policing the US? This reminds me of a person in a messed-up relationship giving relationship advice

They should be in prison. When I hear some people calling for such a man to be commissioner of police. It makes me wonder. He should be serving life in imprisonment as we speak. - Floyd Farquharson

The only time we will stop killing each other is when the white man says he is upset about it. We have no regards for each other’s life, and the irony is, it’s the same white man taught us to hate each other and respect and love only him. What a bind we are in.

How’s that for hypocrisy? How many black people have been murdered by police in the USA and have been cleared of any wrongdoing, even though video recordings show the murder?

I am wondering if these Americans think that America is the land of milk and honey? Or a heaven? They think is everybody in Jamaica frighten for a US visa? American life hard as hell.

They don’t have to deal with our crime issues. They certainly have gall.

What constitutes human rights violations? I believe , to an extent, this definition is subjective. With the exception of weak and dependent nations that have no choice but to accept the imposed values and laws of the hegemonic West, societies developed their own laws and produced behavioural patterns to deal with their immediate social reality — the USA is no exception.

Look at the murder rate in Jamaica and I don’t see them assisting our government in fighting crime. They, however, find the time to discredit the crime-fighters of the country.

If the money and power tables were turned, Jamaica would do the same thing. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
