Mugabe did not speak for Africans on Jamaican men
By Frouk Aresa
Robert Mugabe shot wild again. He angered some Africans recently by calling Jamaican men a derogatory name. Most Jamaicans familiar with him will just brush it off. Those of us that grew up with Jamaican men in Canada in those days know better. It was the Jamaican men that showed us the ropes of survival and they were also the proudest Africans you can count on. We studied, played and worked together with other Africans: West Indians and African Americans.
