Jamaicans Are a Colorless People

Don't waste your time asking a Jamaican his/her color/race. We are colorless. We live in racial harmony in Jamaica. Our Motto is 'Out of Many, One People'. We are also very World-minded. Yes, we live in the world, not just in Jamaica. And we travel the entire world fearlessly, because we know that humankind do not own anything or anywhere in this world. That explains why Jamaicans are everywhere in this world.

Our colorlessness inspired Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King in the first person:

'And so for those days we traveled all over Jamaica. And over and over again I was impressed by one thing. Here you have people from many national backgrounds: Chinese, Indians, so-called Negroes, and you can just go down the line, Europeans, European and people from many, many nations. Do you know they all live there and they have a motto in Jamaica, "Out of many people, one people." And they say, "Here in Jamaica we are not Chinese, (Make it plain) we are not Japanese, we are not Indians, we are not Negroes, we are not Englishmen, we are not Canadians. But we are all one big family of Jamaicans." One day, here in America, I hope that we will see this and we will become one big family of Americans. Not white Americans, not black Americans, not Jewish or Gentile Americans, not Irish or Italian Americans, not Mexican Americans, not Puerto Rican Americans, but just Americans. One big family of Americans.'

Racial harmony sounds impossible? Visit Jamaica and see for yourself.

See you in Jamaica
