Over the years and much to the disgust of many of my fellow Jamaicans, I have never hidden my distaste for my country holding on to a member of the British monarchy as our head of state, despite our decades of so-called independence.
Many of my listeners and readers would take umbrage, asking stupidly; “so what shi do yu soh” or “how it a go mek di price a bread go dung if wi get rid har?”
I have never had a personal
problem with the Queen herself, as she was simply doing very well, the job
she was trained to do. My repugnance has always been with the institution which she
has unapologetically represented for over seventy years.
For it is that institution which cruelly murdered, tortured and exploited our ancestors for centuries, thus becoming an extremely wealthy nation on the backs of black people.
How many times have you seen the Queen being featured in Forbes magazine as among the wealthiest women in the world? Where did her wealth come from? A statement from the Economic Freedom Fighters of South Africa, partially reminds us. “... we do not mourn the death of the Queen, because her death is a reminder of a very tragic period in South Africa and Africa’s history.”
Neither is it only Africa that
suffered greatly at the hands of the British monarchy but basically most of the
black world.
Also, I used to often wonder aloud if
those Jamaicans who support the continuation of the British monarchy assumed that
the “nice lady” would live forever? Have they really been looking
forward to Charles being their head of state? That man who took an innocent young
lady into the terrible institution that the British monarchy is, treated her
like garbage then abandoned her thus causing her untimely tragic death?
In my book, the very thought of
Charles being our head of state along Camellia who had no problem breaking
up a marriage to move up in the world on her back, has always made me
cringe.
Well, here it is now.
In reality, heads of state ought to be, at the very least, role models. Now we are stuck with those two, who certainly are not.
This is because for decades, successive Jamaican governments twiddled their thumbs and caused that lot to become our reality. That is totally unforgivable.
The worst government was led by P.J Patterson for 14 years but they did nothing. In 2022 however, Patterson had the nerve to demand that the government act quckly to make Jamaica into a republic, because Barbados had done so!
Now, we, a struggling nation, must find millions to finance the changes, especially in the court system and parliament, to accommodate the new king. And if Mallahoo-Forte is to believed, we will become a republic before the next election, so that means we will soon have to waste the money all over again, to accommodate that transition.
Such unnecessary nonsense caused by this inexplicable love of our oppressors.
The Stockholm syndrome, no less.
While it is really none of my
business, the last British prime minister to have been sworn in by the queen, Liz
Truss, did in 1994 call for the abolition of the monarchy! Maybe having
someone like Charles as her king and Camellia as their queen, will speed up
their process.
However, it is unlikely that King
Charles 111, like Charles the 1st, will be executed (He is
the only English monarch to be executed). Though, it will probably be more appropriate karma
for Camelia if he follows in the footsteps of Charles 11, who was mockingly
called the “merry monarch” because of the many affairs he had during his tenure
on the throne! (He is probably too old for that though😆.)
Only time will tell what Charles 111’s fate will be, but in the meantime, we in Jamaica certainly do not need such people as our heads of state and assumed role models. ……then there’s the pedophile!👎
Now even Trevor Noah is ridiculing us; https://youtu.be/nOI--lP8bVI
