Is Haiti or Jamaica a black country?

---

Jamaica's population mainly consists of people of African and Afro-European descent, comprising 85% of the demographics.

Yes, I would say so.

And not the Bahamas or the British Virgin Island?

---

---

It is majority black. I don't see why you have to argue about it all.

---

Population:  
47,862

Ethnic groups:  
mixed 40%, white 20%, black 20%, expatriates of various ethnic groups 20%

GDP - per capita (PPP):  
$43,800 (2004 est.)

How the fuck is that majority black? 40% mixed doesn't mean it is black.

LOL oh yeah that right it means they have NO race...

---

Still pretty much kills the idea that whites are the only ones that can run a country successfully.

What's eating you anyway? Trying to take up the WN banner?

what about Jamaica?

---

To be honest, Jamaica isn't a very successful country.  The living standards of its inhabitants isn't that great.  It might be a great tourist destination, and everything you'd see as a tourist might be nice, but if you ever venture beyond that, you'll notice poverty on a much wider scale.

Ethiopia is kinda successful

---

Not so much today, but historically for sure.  During the late 19th century, Ethiopia was well on its way to industrializing its economy and modernizing itself sort of on the scale that Turkey did after WWI.  Had it not been for the Italians who invaded Ethiopia during the turn of the century, and again just prior to WWII (who destroyed a lot and killed many Ethiopians), Ethiopia would be in a much better position today, although I'm sure with the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa having fallen apart during the decolonization process, the debt crisis, and with the AIDS breakout, it would have been held back considerably regardless (but at least among the more well off African nations).

What is funy is when some ppl want to say that the only reason they are succesful is because they were former colonieswhen theat did not help Jamaica or most of Africa...
