You're either not too smart or overly patriotic. The word 'famous'essentially means known by millions of people worldwide. LOP is known in these islands and the Caribbean diaspora granted, however then consider the fact that SP was the FIRST black man to win an Academy Award and delivered numerous other firsts in the entertainment industry, whilst living in the biggest media centre of the world(Los Angeles) . Its not even a discussion. He's one of the most famous MEN of the 20th century.

How could they not? There are thousands of Bahamians with dual or even triple citizenships. What do you think Albany and Old Fort Bay etc were established for?

Totally off-point and not in any way a valid response. Read the letter again and then read my reply.

'A lowly animal that would have died due to its lacking front legs, is cared for and nurtured by another.
That little animal not only survives but also becomes an inspiration to others.'

No such thing ever happens!! If you wish to give some kind of example of the nurturing and care afforded by animals , this isn't a good example. If an animal is crippled, handicapped in any way, its mother may initially stay with it for a time but eventually the pack moves on and the parent leaves it to DIE. There is no such thing as' inspiration ' in the animal kingdom. That is a human quality.

'Tutu conflated mere opposition rooted in love to hatred of gay people. In reality, however, not every form of discrimination is bad. For instance, no right-thinking parent would entrust their children to a known paedophile'
I reject your theory that the opposition was rooted in love. Its not discrimination, its bigotry, encased in religious sanctimony. Your analogy of a pedophile aand homosexuality betrays your ignorance and lack of understanding of the pluralistic and secular world we live in. Typical of uneducated bible bashers.

Idiot. If 90% of the population is black, who the .... do you think they will be primarily shooting? Don't go throwing around words of which you have no idea of their meaning. Black people cant be 'racist' towards other black people because they are the same RACE!!!! You can only be racist towards someone of another race.

'I must perceptibly challenge he vandalism offered the English language by the good Commodore'. This must be the type of sentence you were referencing when you wrote about people mangling syntax. Can you 'perceptibly' see this ? You're comedic in your attempts to come across as some kind of pseudo-intellectual.
