Racism seems to have evolved into class warfare all around the world.
Regardless of colour, people seem to admire and respect wealth & power, which go hand in hand.
Sadly even the poor look up to and desire contact and interaction with the wealthy; even if that wealthy person is the company owner who starved them every payday. Do I need to mention any of our big money employers illustrate this point. Tell me the poor man doesn’t gravitate to the boss man when he comes around hoping to get some notice.
Sadly, if you want respect and a better life you can only get this by making a lot of money.
Earn enough money and you will be noticed and invited into the club of the ruling class, don’t, and you will always be one of the ruled.
The only exception my be a poor lawyer ( I know, that’s generally thought to be an oxymoron “poor lawyer”). Lol. But the odd one does exist, and because of their knowledge they can not be as easily ruled.
Truth is it’s more about money and power than racism. Money travels up hill, it’s the only thing that does. And it’s been this way since the beginning of time. The little people have always been the source of production and the cow to be milked.
Things will likely get worse with more automation and artificial intelligence as this makes little people less important as a component of production.
Either way, racism is a but a mere distraction. If you’re poor, regardless of color; the ruling class, both corporate profiteers and politicians are striving to get every ounce of your wealth and efforts they can.
Greed knows no color.
The only solution is to make life so uncomfortable for the ruling clas that they change their ways. Problem is, they have thick skin, and the police to protect them.
Sure has opened doors for some Bahamians, some became politicians and have looted the country for their and their friends enrichment while impoverishing the remainder of the population
Some became professionals and stole/steal the assets of foreigners , stealing physical assets right off their private property and then taking those stolen assets and park them in their own front yard.
Do you really believe that Haitians dominate the construction industry while skilled Bahamians can’t find work?
This would only be possible if the Bahamian contractors chose to hire Haitians first over Bahamians? Do you really believe this?
If there is any semblance of truth to your statement then it must mean that business find it beneficial to hire a Haitian over a Bahamian. If that is true, then perhaps the problem lies in the nature of the Bahamian employee, ie work ethic attitude or skill set.
If there were any genuine concern about plastics they would go after the bigger problems; like bottles for instance.
Notice the ban allows 6 months for corporate inventory depletion. Do you get it, 6 months so the corporations don’t loose any money. So screw the environment for another 6 months.
Notice they won’t go after plastic bottles which account for 1000s of times more “single time se plastic waste”.
Anyone who doesn’t see this for what it really is, well you are a complete fool with an inability to reason honestly.

Wow, you live in fantasy land don’t you !
Do give us one , yes just one example of one of our “snapped up” Bahamians that are leading in some industry somewhere abroad.
Never heard such laughable dribble in all my life.

Does it really matter to you where the parent of the children down the street cake from?
Are you really such a patriot?
Do you spent any of your time doing things for the good of the nation without reward or remuneration?
Didn’t think so.
So it seems your comments are only justified through xenophobia.
It would appear to me, given the nature of your average Bahamian, that any non native child will be a welcome and much needed improvement
