So many posts in this thread start off with "I heard".
You head from what? The news? The most cynical world reporting crock of shit ever to make a quick buck?
LamerthanFDR made the only good post here. My aunt is from Kingston and lived there for 30 years before moving to the Bahamas. Delphi could you be anymore stereotypical and anymore wrong? Jamaicans hate all white people? They would probably hate you because of the way you think of them in regards to 3rd class citizens. It is disgusting how many false things are perpetuated because people heard there was a "drug war" going on.
Adrian stay to the resort. It can be a dangerous place, but the people there are also very nice. As long as you don't act above anyone and have an open mind you will be ok. I am a small white kid and I never had any problem getting around Kingston. I met some awesome locals and had some great discussions with them.
