I am writing in regards to the HIV/AIDS epidemic which is currently high in Jamaica. I cannot sit back and watch my people suffer any longer, knowing what I know.

The reason why there is a huge spread of AIDS in Jamaica right now is because of the huge influx of Africans coming to live in Jamaica. Please, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will listen to me and let others know.

Everyone knows that white people go with coloured people, especially with black men. But right now in England where I live, the English white people keep away from Africans. They are the only black people they do not talk to or mix with. There was a report recently where a white girl, who just graduated from university, went with a rich African man and got married to him.

planning for funeral

No one would think that he had AIDS. The man collapsed unexpectedly, had to be rushed to the hospital, and was pronounced dead. When they searched, he had AIDS. The girl who was his wife got tested and she has AIDS also, and so does her daughter. She is 25 years old now, and she is planning for her funeral, and her daughter's funeral. Her daughter is only a year old. This was in the newspaper in England. Please do not think I am coming on here to discriminate, but I am talking the truth. My mother, who is a Jamaican, works as a pharmacy technician and the majority of the antiretroviral drugs, which are for HIV/AIDS, are used by Africans.

red skin

I have quite a few good white friends who will tell me private things that white people would not really tell a black person. But they kind of see me as one of them, to a degree, because I am born in England and I have red skin. They tell me that they would never mix with or eat from Africans, and that the only reason the Royal Family (the Queen of England, Prince William and Prince Harry) takes such an interest in Africa, is because of its rich resources, and they want it to build England up even more than it currently built up. African people don't like Jamaican people, especially the Nigerians, and they hate Caribbean and American people. They call us slave children.

I remember going to university and my mom, being strict, said, "Don't let anyone use your pen and don't chat to any Africans".

'fool them up'

People in England and America love and admire Jamaicans. Believe me, the only thing they don't like is when a Jamaican man 'fool them up' to get a stay. They would rather the man be truthful and say, "Look, can you help me and I will give you some money or something like that?" They don't like how Jamaican men don't embrace family life. And, for the Jamaican women, they are lovely.

The only thing I can say is, try not to be too loud. My mother is loud also, but Jamaican women are well-rounded individuals. All men desire Jamaican women. My roots are from Jamaica.

A.C.

Dear A.C.,

I pity you. You are shameless. You hate Africans and that is indeed very sad. You claim that your white English friends trust you so they tell you things that they would not tell black people. You talk as a foolish man. You are brain-washed into believing that, because your skin is red, the whites love you.
