Alien 06-24-07, - 09:40 AM I see. Maybe you should start asking her to pay back some slave reparations. After all they owe us rt?
She don't owe me. The guys who ran the UBP and their ancestors who inherrited the lions share of this country, owes me. The system, who just happens to be ran by white businessmen, owe all of us; even you down in Fox Hill.
Surely you do realize that reparations, go way beyond race as the UBP, was an economic institution of slavery?
:)
Or are you getting ''yours'' by emotionally abusing the ''white devil''.
Do you abuse your wife?
Why would you call her a devil?
I would never call anyone a devil...never have up to this date. The term devil has only been brought up by you. So, why do you refer to them as "white devils"....???
I think that is cruel, it is a race baiting term, and I wish you refrain from that term entirely.
:tdown:
Or have you forgiven her and willing to settled out of love and friendship? Or is she just a sex object like any other woman to you. Speak up.
This is way too personal. Did not know you had it in you to be disgusting....but wait...I think I always knew.

Alien 06-24-07, - 09:41 AM Maybe that is why you are dating a white girl, b/c you have issues with colour.
I actually like the young lady....she always tells me I am on BI too much, but then I say you are on facebook way toooooo much.
LOL....we all have our net demons. Ain't that right pharoah!?!
rico6472 06-24-07, - 09:44 AM Not only that. Each island should be packaged as a commercial.
How many tourists know about our relics and tourists attractions like Como Hill, blackbreads cave & tower, the 66 steps, the forts and their significance, islands like Inagua and all its beauty and significance, and all of the history and beauty of each island. Things like bonefishing, blue holes, pink sand, etc.
If you watch a Jamaica commercial, you will always see all parts of Jamaica, a little of each parish- Negril, Mobay, Kingston, etc.
All our commercials mostly have just a shot of the beach, Atlantis, the national youth choir, and a Police Officer
We have to revisit our way of marketing, and get with the times.

Nobody owes you ****. I worked for everything I got in life and so should everyone else. So sit there and wait to be paid and live in mental slavery of depending on the white man to give you a life. You will die waiting. You have not experienced slavery a day in your life and you know it.

Hehehe....it always gets a response. No matter how I couch it.
Ok. The old UBP worked to get what they had, they just enslaved the rest of us, and withheld the instruments for us to get over. So, maybe we should "work" towards getting more.
To sit here and say, that there is not a false barrier, the glass ceiling as some call it, to progress in this world, is ignoring the obvious truth to the world we live in. Some people want to ignore it, as they are the ones who are "ok". But, some people just don't get it.
So sit there and wait to be paid and live in mental slavery of depending on the white man to give you a life.
Hark. I een waiting sweet girl...I een waitin at all.
:voodoo:
You will die waiting. You have not experienced slavery a day in your life and you know it.
You threatening me with death?
I never...just for that, I will live until God punches my ticket. So bleh!
:voodoo:
How many black billionaire's do you know?
How many African and Caribbean countries, do you know who control anything on the world stage?
How many do you see at Harvard?
The system that can not allow them equal access to the production, nor the fruit of their production, is slavery. Paying someone a wage, and not respecting their creative right and in fact, stealing their creative right and using your structural power to further depress their way of life, is slavery. Which world do you live in?
Education is the key however...but tell me why do they make it so expensive for "us".? I ask again, how many black billionaire's do you know, and in fact, compare an average white and black family, and you will see the gross inequity...but those people work. African farmers work...black single mothers work...I work...been working...HARD...tis why I am this far...could have been much easier, and the blinders to development could have been removed much sooner, but they did not care...Mom cared....this is why I speak with authority...cuz een no one gee me nuttin, and in fact, they tried their best to make sure we didn't have...it was on purpose I feel....but, we don't have to be that way for everyone...we can be better...I know we can...we just need to start doing better...it will only HELP our countries development...
Yet again, reparations is a part of a greater due. Put's an ease on the structural blockages, that hinder true progess of the masses, and we can be better. It is simply REDISTRIBUTION, meaningful redistribution, to the people who need to get their lives back.
I tell all my American friends, and British friends, if I was in your position, I would be a millionaire by now. They (system and market forces) blocked my development, they neglected to put in place the things needed to ensure my growth in this society and market, they neglected to even look back at me....but we still here; no thank's to many of them. However, I would not neglect to mention, that I would not be going somewhere if I was not given a chance to get somewhere; I got a bit of reparations back, for all of the hard work through the BLATANT obstacles in my path, and payback for what has structurally been done to an entire race of people. Me one got back, but more need to get, and this world I think, would be better off if we just start redistributing more evenly.

We een tawkin bout race...da UBP economic slavery was not about race. It was because they were corrupt, greedy disgusting MOFOs. From Symonette down to Sands...to the little fella's like Roberts who they had running for em.
The UBP was what it was, they held the country hostage for economic gain; no race in dat. Da UBP was a corrupt and an oppressive regime. No one mentioned race...just so happens that I am black doe, and dey was white.

So we can continue to talk about the tourist leaving.

Which tourists?!
When you say "leave" it gives an impression that "they" came.
Which tourist came, and which ones left....??
I know that the bulk of our tourists come from the north east U.S.. Now we can have a drop off in their arrivals, but the thing is, what can we do to bring other people "in".?
So, saying that they are leaving, gives the impression that we had ALL here, and they are just leaving from everywhere.
chancellor 06-25-07, - 09:46 AM LOL.....
Why the technicality?
Sunnyjohn 06-25-07, - 09:48 AM Then -
Why the tourists are no longer visiting.... :gi:
Alien 06-25-07, - 10:18 AM LOL.....
Why the technicality?
Because it matters. People come to the Bahamas, for many different reasons. We have to know "which tourists" so we can address their needs, and cater to a new breed of tourists. I mean, you would like an intelligent conversation on the matter...wouldn't you?
Then -
Why the tourists are no longer visiting....
No. Which tourists are no longer visiting? We have Japanese, Asians and North Eastern Americans who visit frequently. Are they all down?
Then, how do we get people in from other countries. So, it is not that "tourists" are leaving, or not visiting, it seems to be why are North American tourists not visiting, or for that matter, why aren't Asian Tourists not comming the way they should.
That seems to be a better, more direct starting point, rather than just saying tourists....we have narrowed down our base market, and we can analyze that and then, move onto other strategies to bring them back, and then, get more people in from other areas, in case those people decide they do not want to come to our shores again.
So, "chancellor" the technicality means a whole lot. Ya dig!?
