YOU missed the point.
I didn't see he should apologise for what his father did, but I think he should condemn it - there is a difference. My suggestion was purely a political observation and if I was his stragtegist that's what I'd advise him to do. It's all well and good to live our lives according to how the world "should" be, but as some point we all intersect with this annoying thing called reality and in reality he needs to do that in order to make himself viable as a national leader in this country.

My bredda come over your brian has been white washed by PLP propaganda and racial slurs:raw:

I was surprized (and saddened) too at how much traction the whole United Bahamian Party getting their country though the back door is receiving by black non-traditional supporters of the PLP. I can't explain it, but there seems to be a number of Bahamians that actually don't see that as ridiculous sentiment. That is why I think Brent should just deal with it. You extinguish fires by smothering them, not by avoiding them.

:hammer: Agreed. Get it out in the open so the healing can begin!

At least thats what my therapist says...

What fire???

we are supposed to be a must more informed generation of bahamian, if we give in to what is being said by the plp, we have actually gone back.

Why should we demand mr. brent to condemn anything his father may have done? Is that the standard we are going to set for all or just white bahamians.

We need to just make fun at what is trying to happen in our country, because they got to be joking if they think that mr. brent will not get the support from clear minded bahamians because they can not lead or their lies are no longer working with the people.

We want a better bahamas for bahamians...thats what their focus should be. They are in for a rude awaken if they keep this mess up:sparky:

I think it's a more effective strategy than ignoring it, that's all and you clearly disagree and that's fine.

I was going to leave it there but I suddenly am inspired to write something else.

As I see it Brent's role as Deputy Leader will automatically raise issues of his race - rightly or wrongly! Use that then as an opporunity, not a weakness. He should fashion himself as the healer of racial discord and come out as someone who is calling for racial unity - that should be his message. In order to effectively do that though, he has to acknowledge the mistakes of his family.

did anyone see darold show today??? I heard he had Alfred gray on and darold made him look stupid:titongue:

I have been tuning in to the FNM convention this year and am wondering if any one else notices something that caught my attention.
Last convention when there were nominations and voting there was widespead crying, back biting, bickering, mud slinging, b**ching and yes people leaving the party etc. because they did not like the outcome of the elections or did not get elected.
This time however, despite the hotly contested leadership race, there seems to be so much togetherness and unity. Everyone is being very diplomatic and although saying who their preferred leader would be, pledges to support whomever wins.
I wonder if Wells and Dupuch were still members of the party, would the ambiance be just as tranquil?
Watching this process this time makes me realize even more what rich spoilt babies some people are when they cant get their way.
Any Views?


Oh,lighten up! How come some a y'all can see erry lil ting in other people them and can't see the pettiness in ya sef! So what? I guess if pigs could fly then we woulg throw "hog slop" in the air! Ever thought that it may only be just what you'er seeing and nothing more!:mad:

The FNM did it thier way and y'all cried "tief them"! Now they doing it y'all way and now yinna saying...they fakin...they een real...I wish Dupuch and Wells were there to bust up they parade! Jezzzeees!

Maybe that 's why Hubert suck he teeth at yinna all the time and do he own ting...if it een one ting tis tutter!

Thas why I glad I is a P.N.M...part PLP, FNM and BDM. So, tell my why I did that?:dunce:

Kele Isaacs, ya ever hear of any Isaacs commin outa Africa?:duh: No mind how ya color may have "blacken" after ya old people them jumpped into bed with the white man! Plenty of us are around because of this mix...but pleny of us are not! And, trust me...Isaacs are ONE of the "massa's" chilluns!

More than likely you are white or high yellow...loyalists children...children of our slave masters! Wha ya say "massa sir"? Lets not even go back that far! Start saying sorry for all the wrong ya daddy did in he life...:dancer2:

What you callin me stupid for? You'er the one who suggested that Brent say sorry for his PARENTS PAST!:cool:


AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT, CALL OBIE, AD SON AND ALL THE MPS CHILDREN OF THE PRESENT AND FORMER PLP AND FNM GOVERNMENTS WHO HAD A HAND IN HOODWINKING THE PEOPLE AT SOME POINT IN TIME....the list is never ending! And people like Sidney Stubbs and "Flying" Fred who een gat no chilluns them, could repent for they ma them!

BRENT IS A BAHAMIAN CITIZEN...end of story!:rip:

did anyone see darold show today??? I heard he had Alfred gray on and darold made him look stupid:titongue:

what's the big deal? well the man is stupid miller just brought out his true colours. Have yall listened to him before?:screw:

:hammer: Agreed. Get it out in the open so the healing can begin!
At least thats what my therapist says...

you go to a shrink? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Im enlightened now. ;)

this is 2005 and I feel like im in the antebellum american south (pre-emancipation). The PLP should be ashamed of themselves. I am ashamed for them. In this day and age I cant believe it. They are alienating Bahamians and playing on the intelligence of the MAJORITY of Bahamians and dat een right!

Bahamians we are better than this.

We are greater together than apart.

what did they say? I been busy lately ..

remember brent doesnt have to be in politics, he got enough money to retire ...

the only problem i got is people thinking all us white peeps got money, cause thats just plain ignant!

what's the big deal? well the man is stupid miller just brought out his true colours. Have yall listened to him before?:screw:

man you just cause me to fall out my chair...you are so right ....he run on so much about whats happening in the FNM, and haven't address whats happening in his ministry:raw: I was really listening to hear him during his convention speech to see if he was going to speak about incentives for fishermen which i am ..(thank you very much ) to hear him explain the closure of the grouper season, perhaps closure of the conch season etc: instead he choose to take cheap shots at brent alvin and others.while the dummies cheered.

JUNKANOO SHUFFLES AND HOT AIR DON'T PU BREAD ON DA TABLE MA BREDDA:dancer:

you go to a shrink? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Im enlightened now. ;)

I had to. I can't handle it when you reject me when all I want to do is be like you.
