@bloody1967 I wonder why people like you a the rest of the smart white people begrudge these "stupid" Bahamians from at lest attempting to wright a wrong that was force on our ancestors and their decedents how for the love of me is the hurting you and your kind?
But perhaps from reading your various comments I think that you really believe we Bahamians are "stupid" and yes should stay under foot forever but for my generation and others we see the world changing and people like you and your kind are shrinking and perhaps in the future we will one day see a "BLACK" man or woman in the parliament of England, just as we see in the USA now, and maybe not now but in the future true justice and reparation for slavery will come I can assure of that open your eyes and see The world is changing for the better thank god..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had to response to some of the raciest comments I've seen on this site I think that compensation is in order for slavery but I don't think that the government's of these various Caribbean nations should issue or pay out the monies to families etc. I think that what ever monies or received should with immediate effect be held in escrow for the continuing education of Caribbean peoples and their descendants in perpetuity. This would in-able all young descendants of slaves the right to higher education and further "level the playing field" if you will, of disadvantaged black men and women who are now struggling to pay their way through college and universities.
Further Tribune, for more than 400 years of enforced slavery and being denied the basic education and to even make matters worst for more than 200 years under colonial dominance the black majority in the Bahamas were denied all of these things. Therefore, I thing it is only fitting and justified that the black majority in these islands and in the Caribbean region be compensated with the basic things they were denied of in the basic and to help them achieve there goals of a higher education now..
and for those who think that this is unnecessary and look down at this effort of our Caribbean leaders I think I know why they criticizes this report in your very popular and respected media journal, and that is because many of them are of the minority who have already attained higher education or are benefiting from what they were privileged to have inherited from their families businesses!!!!!!
All we are asking for and deserve is that what we were denied that our children and their children have the same opportunities that the minorities in the Bahamas now have and the same applies to the Caribbean region.....
