All of your comments resonate with me, ...Love this! All of your comments resonate with me, except I just recently started liking Okra ;-). I am a decendant of the home of Reggae music, Bob Marley, and the only country that correctly calls the dish "rice and peas". Com'on folks, there are more rice grains than peas in the pot! Lol.

That being said, I feel lucky to have grown up in New York City where it's hard to not trip over another Caribbean person. :) I think Indigene is right that the U.S. still has a hard time understanding the idea of what it means to a Black immigrant/being Black and not culturally American. I didn't even know that June was Caribbean American Heritage Month.

(St. Vincent & Grenadines) It was a challenge, explaining that I was "not acting white" but speaking the Queen's English; I don't eat hog maws (still don't know what they are!) and I like grits, prepared by others! <br /><br />I'm happy that you wrote about this and it would be wonderful, if people in the USA, would realize that not every Black person in the USA is not from the South or had a southern experience! I can't tell you the arguments, I used to get into! <br /><br />Oh, well, let's just keep educating them! :) I love your blog! :) :)<br />Bravo to you for writing about this!Indigenehttp://indigeneart.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283569725589938503.post-25351179324647516962012-06-11T19:08:52.518-07:002012-06-11T19:08:52.518-07:00I am beaming at this recognition.
