Beat dem nuh!

Jackass sey de worl' no level. Jackass sey yu ave some man whe love talk bout beat, but wen it come to de gritty a jus' di weak man dem a beat.

Jackass has always maintained that this business of beating up gay men is a very prejudiced affair. And he does not mean prejudiced in the sense that gay men get beaten any at all, but the type that get whipped in the first place.

Weak ones get beaten

It is the really weak ones, the effeminate looking gay men, who some men gang up on and beat. The tough looking coots with bleached out faces and a couple scars where smiles normally are, who travel in packs and are never with a woman, no one beats them. Hell, no one even looks at them too tough. Sure, they will murmur behind their backs that "dem bway deh no right y'know", but no one is going to brace them.

But let a one man who walks 'funny' find himself out of his safe zone and he will get the looks, maybe the talk and just maybe the blows (and we are not talking about the toe curling ones here, OK).

Panhead, of blessed memory, did a very popular song, when the phenomenon of the 'fighting, feisty faggot' was just hitting the public consciousness. He said "dem have rude bway face an' b .n heart". It is gone well past the face. Them is real rude bway.

Might get jook

Think about it. If a man is to tackle one of these rude 'men' and lose (as is almost guaranteed), just what would happen to him? All Jackass will say is that him get 'jook' (and not in the figurative sense).

No man, the world is not level at all. All this business about beating homosexual men is often simply another way that weak men gang up and beat other men they have a physical advantage over to somehow prop up their manhood. Isn't that a kicker, that some men actually need homosexuals to prove to themselves that they are a man.

So, Jackass wants to know, if Jamaican men are really serious abut beating homosexual men, how come in the urban centres of the US and Canada, where many a tough Jamaica man is, there are these big gay pride marches and we don't hear one report of a Jamaican rushing into the crowd with a pick-axe stick?

Oh! So is some likkle man a Jamaica who can't fling yu in jail and tek whey yu visa oonu ave strent fa!

Jackass sey de worl' no level. Jackass sey wen man a beat men whe no trouble dem, dem fi go pick pon some gangsta gay an de wi fin' ow wata run eena punkin gut!
