In going about business in Kingston I am getting disturbed that in Jamaica's society I am searching for positive pedestal like archetypes that represent the majority of the population and I can't find them.  The majority of  advertisements in all types of media have left out a vast majority of the population.  Decades and generations of perpetuating this is detrimental to the young people growing up, Jamaica's situation differs from say Haiti where there are images of Erzuli Dantor a voudou spirit  known as the Black Madonna of Czestochowa, said to have been brought to Haiti by Polish soldiers, she is also referred to as Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Mount Caramel.  The difference between us and our sister island is that the Anglicans and the Baptists were here and there was no room for synchretism like in the colonies where the colonists were catholic and there would be a whole pantheon of Catholic Saints for all the African spirit dieties to hide and play church mass behind.  Who is to wake the island up from its beauty sleep to all this white washing, some of the biggest supporters are themselves African believing this is the way it should be.
