An interesting bit of history. Jamaica, along with Cuba, - TopicsExpress



          

An interesting bit of history. Jamaica, along with Cuba, supported Angola against the murderous apartheid government, which sought to dominate not just South Africa and former Southwest Africa but the southern 3rd of the continent. For our Yaadie familys courage, standing on the side of the Cubans, the U.S. government took that as opposition to western dominance and retaliated against Jamaica, denying them credit from the world bank and hindering their development. This is more evidence that prior to the 90s the U.S. government was quite favorable towards the apartheid regime and hence white supremacy. In the mid-90s, trying to save face, the U.S. started supporting a weakened, nuclear disarmed, South Africa under Mandela, the man they had been calling a terrorist. History tells a lot of interesting stories. rjrnewsonline/archive/jamaica-caught-in-the-cross-winds-of-cold-war-politics-and-south-africa
