I do not know what you mean by "race", as that is an artificial concept that has no basis in anthropology, genetics, or any science. It does not exist, and babble about "Black Race", "White Race", etc. completely overlooks the fact that all human life came from Africa originally, and that there are ethnicities (such as the South Asian Andamanese, or the Southeast Asian Khmer) who do not fit the popular stereotypes that engendered the pseudo-scientific idea of "race".

About the Jamaicans: Their ancestors had varied ethnicities, but they are mostly of West African heritage. When a Nigerian speaks English, it is not much different from a Jamaican accent. Their people originally came from West Africa and they were forcibly taken, in essence abducted, enslaved, and kidnapped to plantations in Jamaica.
