Just cuz it sounds like it...doesn't mean it is

When days are slow and the phone doesn't ring as much, I like to listen to music while I am working. I am very eclectic, but people get so surprised when they see me listening to rock, or a nice country song. I like music, whatever kind that soothes my ears. So, I looked up a song called "Mamacita" by Collie Buddz, a Jamaican singer. At first, I was 100% sure that Collie was black; 1st because it sounded Jamaican, and in our minds every Jamaican is black; 2nd because that way he was speaking. Here is the video:

1st Mistake: There are plenty of light skinned Jamaicans, Sean Paul being one of them.
2nd Mistake: The way someone speak should not determine who they are.

Living and learning!
