Well I migrated Twice in my Life. Once to the US and came back home, then to Barbados and came back home. For me Personally there is no place like home. Home for me is Jamaica. I have to agree with Topanaris, once you have access to more disposable income ones outlook on migration tends to change. Now that I am living quite comfortable in Jamaica with a "Secure" job I am feeling quite at home. I have no desires to run away again. As for Crime and Violence that is everywhere. How I view it ....what is to be will be there is no stopping it. So if I am supposed to be gunned down or robbed or assaulted there is no place in the world I can run to; just to avoid it happening to me. Crime is everywhere, it's just that we Jamaicans glorify our crime by broadcasting it on youtube and facebook, where as other countries try to hide the fact that crime is prevalent in their society as well. Jamaican news is now World News as far as I see it. Racism is everywhere just as Crime is everywhere. But for me I am more able to process and deal with a Racist in my own country Jamaica. As I know exactly what to do and what to say to a Racist Pig. If I were to encounter it in another country outside of the Caribbean I am not too sure how I would handle it as I would not be in the "Safe Zone" of My Country or Region. So that would take some time and Psychology. So far to-date I have never encountered direct or in-direct racism. I have the option to migrate to Canada as well but yow, I am a tropical boy...mi nuh mek fi dem deh snow deh... I will be spending Christmas in Canada this year and already I am nervous. But I hope you attain your dreams none the less Vylle.
