Is it me, or the people at 100jamz are some nasty aspt people. Clearly, they have no respect to the Bahamian public nor guest or expatriates that live here. Its 7:30am and I am listening to a song which chorus goes " my back, my back, my back, my bloodcloth back."

Now I know few Bahamians actually know what the hell "bloodcloth" means but its offensive. The word is so bad that it made my eyes water. Its offensive to the Jamaicans and most caribbean persons living in the Bahamas. But does 100jamz care? Nope they don't give a flying farp! Chronically 100jamz songs are filled with dope smoking, gun killing lyrics. In fact, there were one or two times I have even heard their djs shouting out foreign bad words just for kicks, knowing fully well that it is offensive to certain people.

Ya needs to publish this in the Tribune.:D

Who cares what bloodcloth means to them...
It means nothing to me. when I hear it, I feel nothing.

It's just when someone referrs to me as a N1gger....I feel nothing.

sad...
tsk, tsk...
Yk2 has become desensitized to all things disgusting...
Words and their meanings are important...such words evoke evil spirits and corrupts the minds of young people.

I can imagine what them Caribbean foreign dignataries think of us when they listen to our radio station...

do you know what bloodcloth means? it's a used sanitary pad. it's equal to F... You in jamaica. it's pronounced bloodclat in jamaican dialect. rassclat is just as bad.

My point is, we have numerous Jamaican teachers here, a huge number of Jamaican investors here, not to mention jamaican who have made their home in the Bahamas, however he clearly have no respect for them when it comes to playing and saying offensive things on the radio.

Kids are now going to school singing this song to their Jamaican teachers just to get a response.

No, not desinsitized it is just that the word means nothing to Bahamian dilaect. Just as much as roofie or cowabnga means to us.
It is a Jamaican slang, and we have no sentiment for it in our dialect.
Just as much as n!gger....we know it is a bad word, but it does not invoke that type of feeling in me either. Because, I know I am allready black and two I know it is only said by ignant white people (who distorted the word Negroe among other things), and by other black people as a sign of affection.
Say "evil spirits" what side of the bed did you wake up on this morning bro...??
:)

NOW...you have a point. It may be disgusting to them, and for that we should clean it up. Not because it may mean something dirty to us, which quite frankly it does not.
Unless you are a Jamaican canewry....

Like I said...To me, it means nothing. But, for dignitaries comming here, it may be bad.
But, even to that we should not be hopping mad over that reason. They come here, they have to deal with what we do.
Like I said, to us, the word means nothing.....

what ever happened to the broadcast regulations? The radio stations need to be fined for offensive language..actually, a police officer needs to go in there and lock someone up (Marquis) since swearing in the presence of a peace officer is already a crime. What say you Chief Superintendents?

first you say it means nothing to YOU. then you say it means nothing to US.
you can't speak for everybody. it most certainly is offensive to some of us.

the funny thing is 100jamz plays a lot of songs that are band in Jamaica which Jamaicans claims that the songs corrupts and destroys the minds of the youth...

100jamz goal is to destroy the black chilling of the Bahamas...to have the entire Bahamas smoking weed is prime objective!

Well, to me the word means zilch. I was not offended...
For it us as Bahamians, in a consensus state, it means just as much to me as it does to them.
If it meant something, it would not have been played on air and with minimal backlash.

If it were the F or S words, then yea....
But the majority of Bahamians do not even know nor care what bloodclat or Collie means......
For that matter, we do not even use it in our daily dialect...so....
:voodoo:

yet we quote jamaican songs in our daily living...
We living the jamaican dream...
Bahamians speaking patois, eating ackee and codfish and singing reggae...

So that is what Bloodclat means....yeah that is disgusting.


What exactly is the Jamaican dream? Emigrating and living somewhere else but Jamaica :dgi:

I have never heard a Bahamian speak patois, just repeat some of the silly slangs.

When Bahamians start eating ackee?
