we need to be sticking together and deal with the illegal workers coming here from, Haiti, Canada, Europe, and the US .. meanwhile it is Bahamians of all races that are hiring them ..

white Bahamians hire Haitians too, to do what?

what about it?

craigied was saying how the black/white thing is over and done. A trip to anywhere USA would soon show that's not the case. The people in N'Orleans 9th Ward were among the poorest and were predominantly black. They were the hardest hit by the storm.

If anyone believes this black/white is a thing of the past, just ask them.

We in the Bahamas are not alone in this thing.

So what about all the other areas which were predominently white which were crushed by Katrina .. flattened by the storm and water also, and left out to dry just like NO. ..?

Personally I say if you choose to live underwater then bear the consequences .. or move.

You right bout all of that. i was just using Katrina because it has become a metaphor of the larger black/white issue in the US (I'm not implying that anyone suffered more or less). There was an appaling bias in the media surrounding the coverage of the suffering after the storm - Man I don't want to get into this now. I saved some of the news reports. I'll send some to you if you want (I don't know how to upload a file to the bb). Just pointing out that racism is alive and well both here and in US.

well, since independence (1973) what has the black government done for you. I say they were as corrupt as the white.
