You know all this race talk drives me insane. Yes is it important that we know our history, and our past etc..etc...but think about it, we talking about whites vs. blacks, white Bahamians vs. black Bahamians, oppression, discrimination, etc..etc..

But in some areas, we black Bahamians treat black Haitians, like the white European/white Bahamians treated black Bahamians, but nothing is said about it.


Honestly, as a country racism will be here forever, and ever, because people can not let go, and we just have to live with that.


Let's treat everyone fairly, honestly, and humainly and move into the 21st as a unified country, that all I care about. Love in this country!

You know a couple of weeks ago at work I made a similar point to my co-workers, and got eaten alive for it. It's amazing that so many Bahamians are blind to the fact that there are other BAHAMIANS who play a pivotal role in lurring illegal immigrants here, and hiring illegal immigrants, all for the sake of the almighty dollar. Until we come to grips *seriously* with this reality, and start handing out heafty punishments for what I call acts of *treason* against our country, it will continue to spiral out of control, and all you will here is the voice of ignorant Bahamians on the radio and newspaper but why so many illegals keep coming here.

It started in the 1960's (perhaps even earlier) and whether people belive it or not, it has exploded into a multi-million dollar business. And you know how some Bahamians go when offered a few extra schillins!

You Bahamians are so wrapped up in this race issue thing that you can't see the forest through the trees. Globalization has changed everything forever. Every country is on their own now...so you better shape up or ship out. Besides, this black/white thing is so last century. Stop complaining. While you are all blaming this and that on the whites your country is going down the drain. It would be a joke if it weren't so sad.

there was a time long ago when choosin a candidate because of color/race was important,that time has passed,the candidate with the best workin and viable platform 4 the Bahamas should seriously be considered whether Black/White or in-between,i'm almost certain that if Bill clinton ran 4 primeminister he would win hands-down,we should be votin 4 education-reform,small buissiness assistant,eradication of a open-door immigration policy etc, etc and not whose party we're in,only then will the status-quo politricks step-up,i want opportunities 4 us all,not just 4 some,and if it takes a conchy-joe or white Bahamian 2 raise-the-bar then so be it.

I mean, look at it. All this noise about UBP this and racism that. Even here on this forum probably 100 posts mentioning Brent, but not one saying anything about his actual qualifications for DPM or PM. What is that?

you must not have read my post. i support the guy. But if he fucs up that will be the last white prime minister the Bahamas ever sees and that's the god honest truth.

Typical of the self-depreciating psyche of the Bahamian....'If it's white, it must be right!'
Has anyone thought about what the white elite of our country think of the average black Bahamian? And that the fear of that same average Bahamian is actually based in reality, a reality that many of us do not want to face up to: 'dey don't like us, dey tink we're boarish and unsophisticated. And the ones who don't tink like that...don't tink about us at all....to them we do not exist because we do not affect their favoured lives in no way.
My ire was raised to its limits last month while on Bay Street. We stoped in Pyfrom's (I beleive it's called). Here, in the middle of Nassau in 2005 blatent disgrace. Two white women one stuffy (Ms. Piggy) and about 40, the other suck (Olive Oyle) and abot 55. Both standing behind the area of the cash register. As we entered the shop, Ms. Piggy was laying into an employee for asking permission to run out to the bank before it closes. The employee was and elderly (50ish) black woman, standing there, eyes brimming with tears as her employer Ms. Piggy berated her with Olive Oyle giving encouragemnet. Telling here, even with patrons present, that she shoulda use her lunch time to go to the bank and not the company's time.
Now ordinarialy this would not be a big deal for me..but you should have heard their tone and seen the hurt in the employee's eye. And, when the employee - some 10 years older than the older of the two winches -answered "yes Maam" to her tormentor....well I was ready to buss!
We've always been taught to respect and honour our elders. It was obvious that these women did not get that lesson. Adding insult to injury was the fact the these women were the only ones allowed to handle cash at the busy shop. Like all a'we does teef! They even had a pre-teen doughter of Ms. Piggy cashing.....It just felt wrong and weird....
Nassauvians need to fix that issue of the Bay Street merchants....too many massas opressing folk....too many 'Yes Maam's!

fuc what they think a me...what do i think of myself? I know who I am and none of any a anyone can make me feel inferior to them. that goes for black and white.
