A video of Vegas being ordered ‘ushered out’ of a church service which Jennings recently held in the artiste’s native land of Jamaica has been turned into comedy central by some of the entertainer’s own country men, with the term ‘usher him out’ being the latest slang on the lips of many.
But let’s take two steps backwards and look at the bigger picture.
Could a Jamaican pastor convene a church service anywhere in the United States and treat an American in the same manner? And to boot with the assistance of the American police?
I think not. The fact that the Jamaican police took the lead in forcibly removing the artiste, who broke no laws, from the First Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ is even more troubling.
In the whole scenario it seems that point has flew over the heads of many of those who are taking this issue for a joke. It is my view that no foreigner should be allowed to come to our beloved shores and treat a Jamaican in that manner and be praised for doing so.
What lawful reason did the police have to usher Mr Vegas out?
Was Vegas behaving in a violent manner?
Did his behavior warrant a foreigner, based in Philadelphia, USA, to be allowed to disrespect a fellow Jamaican on his home soil and we laugh about it?
