Dear Editor,
I have never been a fan of the music commonly referred to as dancehall for a number of reasons.
On the few occasions that I have seen reports on television the music appeals to the lowest form of life. It depreciates values and attitudes such as respect for others and, in fact, leaves the listener with a complete lack of kindness and compassion.
The recent trial of Vybz Kartel showed that side of the music and what it does to thousands of people.
When an individual can say "is not ah uptown or a middle class man him kill so oonu fi let him go", or when someone can conjure up a statement that "mi cut him up fine fine dem will never find him", can't you see something is very wrong with the statements associated with the music.
A lot of support is coming in daily for the relatives of the convicted killers of Clive "Lizard " Williams, but what about his family?
