I am not Jamaican but I am proud of my brother and sisters on that small island with with a lot of influence globally. I am thinking of Jamaican music, Usain bolt, dance, Marcus Garvey, rastafarian and the hair style (I know it does not orginate from there but Jamaica pretty much dominates the image) and Bob Marley.

Off course, you have lots and lots of other things. The above stand out a lot for me.

I'm very late to this thread but I'd still want to contribute.
I love Jamaica because it's my heritage.
I love Jamaica for Beenie Man & the immeasurable joy he has contributed to music & many many happy memories of my misspent youth.
