Homosexuality in the Jamaican Police Force
Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of homophobia, homophobic language, murder and police brutality. There are also brief mentions of slavery and rape.
By no stretch, is the Jamaica Constabulary Force the most loved civil servant organisation. However, the organisation colonial roots, anti-blackness and the nation’s homophobia have lead to an almost century long belief that the organisation is been overrun by queer male police officers.

Henry Kissinger vs Jamaica: In The Words of Michael Manley
In 1975, Cuba sent troops to Angola to help them fight against an invasion by apartheid South Africa. Henry Kissinger, the US Secretary of State was angry at this, so he set out to get countries to denounce Cuba’s actions. Jamaica was one of these countries. So, in December 1975, Kissinger met with prime minister Michael Manley on the issue. On this episode, we hear from Manley, himself, how this conversation went and the events that occured in its aftermath - events, that forever changed Jamaica.
-Michael Manley’s account is taken from, Jamaica: A Struggle In The Periphery by Michael Manley. pg 111 to 117

The Not So Epic Story of Lady Musgrave Road
In Jamaica, there is the famous Devon House. A historical landmark, it is popular for its patties, the Devon House ice-cream and on any given weekend when the weather is suitable, it also serves as a public park for families. However, there’s a popular story that involves Devon House that most Jamaicans grow up hearing. Basically, the story goes that Lady Musgrave, the then governor of Jamaica’s wife, was so angry at seeing Devon House, this grand mansion owned by a black man, that she authorise the building of another road, to avoid driving passed it. And it’s for this reason why the road is known today as Lady Musgrave’s Road. However, as much as the story is popular and accepted by Jamaicans, it’s not true. Entirely debunked by historical facts, on this episode, we outline why the story of Lady Musgrave and George Stiebel, Devon House’s owner, is just a myth. While we are, the story of Annie Palmer, the White Witch of Rose Hall, was all based on a racist novel. That story, too isn’t true.

The Hosay Masssacre of 1884
Upon the arrival of large numbers of Indians to the Caribbean, through the Indentureship system, they also brought their religion and other aspect of their culture. Their aversion to not assimilating to whiteness, was seen as a problem by the colonial governments. And no other event in the 1800’s would portray this than the 1884 Hosay Massacre in Trinidad which say agents of the colonial state - the police- turn their guns on Indians taking part in the annual Hosay festival.

Informative and funny ‼️ great 🙂
The Coral Gardens incident
I’m very grateful for your podcast about this issue. Your account is very dense and you tried to make it as light as possible. Being the child of a Rastafarian, I got additional information about the issue. My father was so upset that my mother had to give us the Coral Gardens incident. Such hypocrites our leaders are. I’ll never vote for any of them again. Thank you.
