waaay more peace of mind living in Jamaica. I've never had to consider someone randomly shooting me at Sovereign but I definitely have had to at any American theater
yes, people will rob & harm you here but not cause of your race or some unjustified preconceived notion. and chances are it won't be the police
living in Jamaica is a privilege. police brutality is here but that's what happens when you give an ordinary, often uneducated, man too much power over people who they deem less than. we need to fix that and hold our police accountable for their wrongs.
I'd rather have to deal with classism alone, than both racism & classism. neither should have to be a reality. but if I had to choose the choice would be obvious
Disclaimer: this is my very personal experience, and chances are another person won't relate based on theirs. I live in a generally crime free community and I acknowledge my privilege.
