Wonder if he saw where we went,cause we dipp while he was unhooking the chain to let us in.

"...You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen..." lol

Children can be the cruelist of all people,especially in a gang or group setting where the (different child) becomes the target.:shhh:

Amen to that...and you know why they're so cruel? It's usually because their parents failed to teach them the difference between right and wrong, what's appropriate and inappropriate. So when kids overhear their parents saying these things (another reason why kids shouldn't be allowed in on "tall-talk"), they don't just hear it - they hear it and act on it as an innocent child would: with brute force, whether it's with words, sticks or stones. And sadly, each one of those three can be deadly.

That reminds me of a scene on South Beach,everybody watching these couple fellas kick this lil sexy gal to pieces in the parking lot.Come to find out girl was a fella and had been dancing & drinking with one of them most of the night. Man I know that bey was disappointed.



hahahahahaha!

once when I was about 14 years old my mom & siblings were taking a walk downtown Bay St. I walked ahead of them and was waiting by the car sitting on it. along comes this group of young boys, black bahamians, teenagers.

one was carrying a car antennae. as they passed by me the one with the antennae swiped me across my back with the antennae for no reason. then he said said 'honky @ss' as they kept walking. they all buss out laughing & I buss out cryin'.

musta been some kinda payback for slavery. :)

I faced similar stuff like that all the time in high school, COB etc etc, mainly because I was brighter than most of the others in school.

:mad:Well, I will tell you my first racial encounter!
It was right here in the Bahamas! :sparky:
I was in junior high, and apart of my school's softball team. The coach had wanted us to work on our upper body strength! So he sugested that we worked out at this local gym in Nassau, I don't remember the name or location, but I know that it probably has been closed down.:tup: Anyway, me and my friends get there before the coach. We entered the gym and proceeded to the front counter for help! The lady at the desk then went to a back office and had a few words with the presumed manager. She then out of nowhere came out front and said that " I don't want none of ya'll black children in my store!" (I tell no lies) Then followed by some other racial slurs! Shortly after, the coach had came, and when we told him what had happened, he defended us, and apologised to us all! I was probably 15/16 at the time! I still remember those words and her face like it was yesterday! I need not tell you that the manager was white, but she sure showed her true color that day!:sparky:

What school was this though? I remember our high school class going to the gym......in the plazza down by soldier road I believe. Hmmmmmm!

:bouncy: All I can say is that it ends in College, and was a private school!!
The rest you will have to figure out yourself!:shhh:

No body cares about your pissy little story, because we all have experienced this at one point and time. You are not special.
But, to add insult to injury, the white people do not like you and we don't like you.

So...carry ya black rank tail.

I attended a university in the U.K where the population is 95% black. During my first semester at the University, to my surprise I found out that all of the professors and even the janitorial staff were white. I said to myself ok, this is a small town so what, until our Foreign Affairs Minister paid us a visit. During the reception, the Vice Chancellor of the school gave remarks, he talked about how they appreciated the Bahamian students and how many have passed through their doors. A few months earlier he and other faculty members had the opportunity to visit the Bahamas on a recruitment and predominantly drive, everything was going fine with his speech until he said, when I visited the Bahamas he was amazed at the growth and development, he than went on to say how he could not believe that the last two Prime Ministers were basically black (not exact word) he made remarks to the fact that he did not know that Bahamians had built the Bahamas to what it was and the hotels and everything else was so nice. He was also under the impression that the Bay Street boys were still in power, he alluded to the fact that the homes in the Bahamas was so beautiful and everything was so modern. He also said that the Bahamas had outgrown the motherland (England). It was obvious from the look on the Minister Mitchell's face that he was offended, so was I. However Minister Mitchell in a very diplomatic way spoke of how Bahamians worked hard to make the Bahamas what it is today. Later on during the week, the Vice Chancellor met a Bahamian student walking on campus and commented that he can't understand why Bahamians come to England to live in the conditions we live in (small dormrooms, few amenities) when we have so much back home. I took that as a compliment.

This just goes to show what people can think about you, when they do not know you. I felt that some of the staff members are prejudice towards us, you know it and feel it in the way to speak to you and other black students versus the white. A lot of people look at Bahamians and believe that we still live in grass huts and walk barefoot. There are many types of prejudices not just race and color. People will look down on you for many reasons, Living in the U.K was a major learning experience, they are many people in the U.K that still see the Bahamas as a small colony with nothing to offer and England and the Queen as our saviour. The Vice Chancellor is a man 60+years old, it took a trip to the Bahamas in 2004 to change his perception of Bahamians and the Bahamas, I wonder what he thought about us BEFORE he visited the Bahamas. Bahamians are more blessed than than they know, we travel all over the world and have a high standard of living that can be matched anywhere in the world

We have a high standard of living...built on a false economy and our high debtness.
Ask the blacks in those houses about how high the bills are!

The thing that kills us in this town is the lack of opportunity.
Yes, people have a few material things...but, ask them to add 2 and 2, and see what you get.
That is a typical sentiment of Bahamian creativity and intelect. We do not know how to go to the next step. some say, we do not need it because the great ol's US of A takes care of us. Well, some of us have a mind and want to use it...some of us have ideas that rival the prescious foreigners that swoon here, but will never get it because we are not taken serious for our capacity for growth UNTIL we have to go on a frckin pilgrimiage to the US or UK.
Sick I say!

The "University of the Bahamas" is a crucial step. and I for one, did not appreciate the political foolishness surounding Smith, Hodder and Wilson. It was stupid and it hurt a generation..YET AGAIN!
See why "they" refer to black democracies as disasters waiting to happen. And ideas like the Washington consensu drowns out any initatives for individual economic diversity.

seems to me that yinna need a new vice-chancellor...that is blatant ignorance...I wouldnt say so much racism maybe prejudice of how he feels about other non-white people.. ...but blatant ignorance definately...its actually sad because he is over the hill and he still has that mind frame...he is really out of the loop!


you could imagine how many of my friends looked at me when I said I was moving back home... I was like if yawl only know...Bahamian people living better than you...


but the thing is we have much moe room for improvement and we will get better! bet that up! :bahamas:

:taped: I just knew that you would act the fool!
I post this thread cause I was curious to find out who had experienced it first hand and how they dealth with it! I would say that the replies are doing rather nicely, if I may say so! Why haven't you tell your stories?!? You obviously have been a victim of RD because the circus that brought you here placed you on display many times! You also have been discriminated against because of your sexual orientation right here on this forum! So please share your story with us!
(I bet that if this was about Gay/Lesbian discrimination thread you would have the most to say, hey?) DILDO !:shaky:


You are not special.


I never said that I was, but I have seen many Steven Dillet Primary shirts, that beg to differ with your opinion!!!;)




to add insult to injury,.....So...carry ya black rank tail.,


If you call this an insult, then I would really deem you a rookie! Thats just pampas man! Here's an good insult!

What stay's open 24 hours a day, is under constant screw-tiny, and has claimed more victims than the Bermuda Triangle? :confused: !REHTOM AY
:shaky:


...the white people don't like you, and we don't like you.


White people don't like me? I have family members and friends that are white!!:duh:
Since when did you become the chairman of this forum? "we don't" like you.
I guess now you talk for the masses! In any event, I didn't come here to make friends, (even thought I wouldn't mine) I came here to discuss issuse that I face as a Bahamian! Racial discrimination just happens to be one of them IDIOT!!! If you hadn't noticed, your the most disliked person here, and I speak for all present with 100% assurity!
In closing please stop the jeer throwing, It's a battle that you can't win! Your stupidity gives me a unfair advantage!:cool:

Take time, Keep ya panties on Papa!:cool:

...The thing that kills us in this town is the lack of opportunity.


Words spoken by a real ------------!!!:hammer:
So I guess the government must provide all opportunities that you speak off!
