Most black people have a slave owner ancestor because slave owners rape slaves.

Black people are not native to Jamaica. Jamaica had zero people before ships brought the east indian trading company which also later brought slaves from africa to build the valuable sugarcane plantations.

Don't they teach basic history anymore.

i did get a little over the top there. jamaicans are descendants of blacks. so ok, she's likely of sub-saharan descent from her fathers side.

the history of jamaica is not basic to any country except maybe jamaica. but yeah, basic history is not taught much anymore because the masters do not want the slaves to learn from what the masters have done to them in the past. history is rewritten to their advantage.
