Seems like the good opposition leader is desperate to prove himself as being a formidable challenger in the upcoming convention. My advise is be yourself. If you truly care about the welfare of this nation it will show naturally. So far I haven't seen the "run for a government post for the betterment of my people" attitude coming from any of these politicians.

Totally agree!

I know you are pulling for the other good doc now

“I think we must take it to another phase where rather than just focusing on jobs we can focus on ownership". Too late for that broken promise. Both the PLP and FNM could give a rap about Bahamian ownership. They know nothing about empowering their people. So when this man talks about 'ownership' I know he only talking shite!

Andrewharris, I take it you probably live in some gated community where you are not affected by certain social problems brought on by these bunch. But when you move where I live where illegal and non illegal Haitians shit on your property, destroy your boundary, steal your power, pollute the area with dirty pampers and garbage, have 100s of pikininis run around naked wreaking havoc, use your property for short cut, start fires for no apparent reasons, constantly fight and argue, eat your pet cats (and the list goes on) then we can talk about Bahamian ignorance. THe problem is you don't experience the mess other Bahamian live. Walk in their shoes then come back to me and talk about xenophobia. it is called fedup! Not xenophobic.

Evgeorge, you are missing the big picture here. You shouldn't expect for people to show much respect for a culture that has little regard for the laws of other countries that they invade. Respect begets respect. TO say that Haitian Bahamians contribute more to the Bahamas than raw born Bahamians is debatable. I don't even know what you mean by raw born Bahamian...Lol, But if you read my comments carefully, you will see that I never once made disparaging remarks about Haitian decendents. I simply stated facts. Now if these facts happen to cast negative light on your habits then I am not the one to blame. I am not saying that Bahamians are better than Haitian, I am simply saying that when you are a guest in someone's home you don't invade their space or try and change their whole living condition. I have Haitian friends that I would never dare look down on, I love kompa, I love grio. But these friends will tell you that we constantly discuss this hot topic and at the end of the day, no friendship is lost.

To Louby Georges: Since you believe that the Haitian Embassy in Nassau is too small to accommodate the influx of people that you think would like to apply for a Haitian passport, then let them travel to Haiti to do the same. After all, Haiti's policy is all are welcome once they are of Haitian descendent. If you really are an activist and you truly believe in your culture and the Country where your parents came from, why not direct the energy on rebuilding Haiti rather than telling Bahamian officials what they ought do. I personally could never grow enough balls as a Bahamian to go in someone else's country and tell them what is in the best interest of Bahamians, especially if I was born there after parents snuck in the country to have me.

When your ass come here and deal with the struggles of having strangers disrupt your way of living, present major health issues, crime issues, economic issues-When you as an outspoken advocate for the Haitian community encourage reform in Haiti to stop the flow of illegals in other people country, then you can open your mouth, Dr. Who. The reality is, sometimes you have to appear to be xenophobic to protect your own interest. Otherwise, people will take your kindness for weakness. And that is exactly what the majority of these so called undocumented Haitians have been doing. Like I always say, If the Bahamas was not a country that was friendly to America or a poor country, these people wouldn't give a dam about status.

Why stop the trend now? Poor reasons have always been the norm for selecting leaders of this country.

Good cause I still think Dr. DS is the man with the master plan.
