- I can't help but feel proud when I see how our athletes have dominated the world stage!
- For such a small country and despite our issues, we have definitely produced some great people.
- This one might sound abit odd but seeing a foreign national wearing anything Jamaican, whether it be a reggae boyz jersey lol or a bob marley tshirt, this one gets me everytime.

I feel ya..... bc I met some ja'cans as Dr, nurses, professionals & u cant help but feel proud bc despite the few who come here & act stupid most of us do well. I love my country, proud of my ppl & sometimes if its worth the while I do educate some ppl who talk who are usually ignorant of the country or just plain try to belittle the 3rd world. Have a gr8 day/ weekend every10

I agree...I too love to see persons in the Jamaican colours. Its also wonderful when Jamaicans excel in areas that they aren't expected to. Proud of our sportsmen and women always, but that's expected now so I like when its something else.0

Hearing my boss who is British (born in Hong Kong) talking about his love for reggae music/ska. I don't even know some of the songs/artists he mentions but his stories always amazes me0

Its a pity some non-Jamaicans appreciated our culture even more than some of us...........but its nice to see them loving it.0

Naturally I'm extremely proud when we excel in anything, whether that's sport or the arts but I'm even more proud that I'm a Maroon. I love the fight they put up against the Europeans. I'm just proud of my African heritage which is naturally tied in with my Jamaican heritage.0

Today, with the 1,2,3 sweep at the Olympics was another great day to be proud to be Jamaican. In that one race the world witnessed our talent, drive, determination and fighting spirit among other great qualities in less than 20 seconds. To see those beautiful Jamaican colours adorning the Olympic stadium was so nice....just to know that so many little kids around the world can identify the Jamaican flag and colours when they see it is wonderful.0
