No harmony on T-shirt ban

Friday, August 12, 2005

A row has broken out in New York City over a plan by organisers of the annual West Indian Labour Day carnival to ban T-shirt revellers from the parade of bands.
Yolanda Lezama-Clarke, president of the West Indian-American Day Carnival Association, said the proposed ban would protect the integrity of America's largest cultural festival by maintaining a unifying standard for the carnival. But opponents complained that the action would "unfairly" target certain national groups, especially Jamaicans, Haitians and Bahamians. The organisers have denied that allegation.
However, George "Ghandi" Whitehead, the leader of the Barbados band, agreed with the proposed ban and said that it would not affect Barbadians.
Lezama-Clarke, who has taken over the leadership of the association from her father, Carlos Lezama, a Trinidadian, said: "The carnival is a display of Caribbean heritage and it is important to encourage the creative endeavours of our people. This is not a new approach.
"When non-costumed bands infiltrate the festivities, it undermines the pride we instill in our marchers and sends the wrong message to those who come to watch," she added. "And it is that pride we pass down to our next generation.
However, several people oppose the ban. Robert Clarke, chief executive officer of Irie Jam Radio charged that the action was aimed at a few national groups and could end up hurting the carnival, which attracts about two million people to Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn on Labour Day, the first Monday in September.
"The rule unfairly targets Jamaicans, Bahamians and Haitians who are typically not dressed in traditional costumes," he said.

One More thing
Jamaicans always talking about if you step to a jamaican you will know what will ahppen to you.....

jamaicans is full of shit when it come to that....i have seen so many bloodcloth jamaican get there ass beaten......

jamaicans feel them is the most this and than but they is just as soft as toilet paper.....but full of shit........

and let me tell you something...not only jamaicans have their tools so don't think jamaicans could put fear in anybody......

Jamaincan are so fucking stupid
first of all no body claims to be jamaica....secondly out of the two million people more than 90% of the people are other than jamaicans....so in truth and in fact jamaicans make up a very small number.....so you all would not be missed......

now again....why the hell it making you all so upset....i have never seen a reggea concert outside of jamaica pull so many people but carnival and soca music has been pulling millions of people out side of the caribbean.....

so jamaicans my advise to you all is to stick with your own stupid dancehall and shove it in your clubs.....stay out of our carnival activities.....

p.s. i just heard that they opened two gay salons in jamaica and that the government is having talks on same sex marriages...you all fucking jamaican only front when you say bun batty man but you all full of them.....so shut the fuck up.....

Topic of Discussion???????
Everyone is on here talking about how their island is the best. Of course youre going to think that, what sense would it make for you to come from one island and then say that another is the best. Everyone represents their island in their own way some does it more than others. I believe that the main topic of discussion was about banning t-shirts on the parkway; so tell me, where is this shit about who is the best and who is the worse, etc coming from. With most Jamaicans if you dont trouble them they won't trouble you. and it's people like you that brings us down, because if you were to approach a Jamaican with all that fuckery that youre talking on here guess what would happen, I believe that your smart enough to figure it out.

oh my bad and jamaica is also good for the killin of its own ppl by its own ppl. 1000+ murders for the year, aint that a bytch.

So all i got to say is Trinibagonians and all the other "small islanders" barbados, grenada, st vincent, etc.... big up yall self and dont make no stank azz jamaicans bring yall down.

DON'T HATE" " " " " "
. Dont hate us because we are one of the most recognized island, dont hate because we are proud of where we are from. I know that you hate us simply because you are not one of us!!!!!!!! The funny thing is that there are a lot of hypocrites on here talking all this shit about Jamaicans and they have Jamaican friends they get mad hype over our music, they rep the beautiful colors of black, green and gold they even try to speak like us and at the end of the day your still not us.

DONT HATE " " " " " " "
For those of you who are saying to band t-shirts from the parkway it would be suicide for the parade because most of the people that turn out to see the parade are Jamaicans. Most Jamaicans enjoy listening to soca and calypso but they go there to see one thing and that is the Jamaican float with the Jamaican artist. What I dont understand is that this t-shirt ban would be affecting the Bahamians and the Haitians but nobody is getting at them.

DON'T HATE US BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT US
Its really funny how all these other island people can sit down and write all this fuckery about JAMAICANS. They hate us because we are all proud of our country. Yeah, we may have financial issues, and yet we don't let that get us down, do you know how many people (non-Jamaicans, especially Americans) are claiming that they are Jamaicans or they have some Jamaican ancestry when they don't. If our country is so bad, and our people are that hated as you all claim, why are they trying to be like us. cont'

not gettin the point
It seems to me that when caribbean people leave they home country they tend to forget what the true meaning of carnival is. Carnival is a time for people to unite no matter what island you're from. So in my opinion i don't care if i'm wearing a t-shirt or im naked once you have a good time that's the main. But the counsel needs to take in to consideration that not all countries fete the same.

going back to our roots!!!
if i am not mistaken carnival didn't start with people parading in BRAZILIAN TYPE costumes!!!!! our ancestors made costumes out of whatever they had and slaves didn't have money to go buy ready made costumes!!! if WIADCA wants to change anything they need to bring back the creativity of the costumes!! we as a Caribbean peoples have a rich heritage that can be portrayed other ways than beads and bikinis!!! what happened to the days of real costumes when slaves impersonated thier masters making statements about how life was???
to ban t shirts is tellin me that someone has forgotten what carnival is about and it's not the people wearing the t shirts!!!

about banding t-shirt band is ok but what about the people like elephantman sean paul beenie man and etc. come down rep jamaica and all the other celeburtie on the other flut to rep where they came from i think it ok to stop the people from marching behind the costum band but what about the celebertie coming down to ny to rep where they come from and see there fans look am speaking 4 the jamaican and also for my brother cuz my brothers have a jamaican t-shirt band it call kolours production and i whant them 2 shine every year like me cuz i also in a band but it call E.T.C production so i think the idear is good but thinkanother way where the t-shirt band can still be on the road and also stop people from walking behind the mas band trucks

Fight The Racist Trinis.....

What ever beef you Trinis have with I-Wayne, you take it up with him...

I am all for rules and regulations, .but what they ( Trinis ) are overlooking is the fact that Jamaica represent Reggae, not soca, so on a W. I. day parade, we want to show off our culture, people don't play mas to reggae music, they play mas to soca music, therefore the Jamaicans and the Haitians are not looking to be judged in any competition , they are looking to display their culture, hence the word parade.



The Reggae industry is about 100 times larger than the soca Industry, yet they are talking about we can't come on the parkway...they mad or what !



This is why soca music will never go anywhere, some of these Trinis have the mentality about this is " We Ting ." It took a Bajan and a Vincy ( Rupee and Kevin Lyttle ) to take soca music international because of their attitude !

It's just plain tacky
I must admit one of the highlights of the west indian day parade for me is seeing the costumes. I lhave lived in Brooklyn ny most of my life and the food, music and costumes is one of the things that stick out in my mind from my childhood the most. I think it's just plain tacky and that it looks sooo beautiful when those who are the center of the parade are in full carribean garb and glory.

nonsense
The ban is targeted because just because yo are Carribean or West Indian does not mean that your country of origin has a specific type of cultural dress. That's like telling Americans at a 4th of July celebration they can't wear any t-shirts with the American flag...they have to dress "American", this ban is unfair, t-shirts do not make the festival ugly...it's not a parade, and even those t-shirts have some design, colors, or flags of the persons country...this is discriminatory and anyone who disagrees obviously wont be affected by this

Costumes are a great part of the carnival and when the Parkway in invaded w/ T-shirts, you no longer see the beauty.

If you want to be part of the part, join a band w/ costume.
