My goodness comrade- Talk about aimless babbling! Trying to reading your posts can make one seasick from all the up and down drabble, gabble. Do you not realize by now that no one will bother reading your post when you write a bunch of gibberish about colours? As soon as I see the word red or yellow in your posts I stop reading. I must say though. These reds really do get your juice flowing boy.
Here is an excerpt from our so called constitution, as a reminder to those who wish to judge people based on appearance or association;
chapter iii protection of fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual
Fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual.
15.- Whereas every person in The Bahamas is entitled to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual, that is to say, has the right, whatever his race, place of origin, political opinions, colour, creed or sex, but subject to respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the public interest, to each and all of the following, namely-
(a) life, liberty, security of the person and the protection of the law;
(b) freedom of conscience, of expression and of assembly and association; and
(c) protection for the privacy of his home and other property and from deprivation of property without compensation, the subsequent provisions of this Chapter shall have effect for the purpose of affording protection to the aforesaid rights and freedoms subject to such limitations of that protection as are contained in those provisions, being limitations designed to ensure that the enjoyment of the said rights and freedoms by any individual does not prejudice the rights and freedoms of others or the public interest
Yep. Democracy out the door! If that's the perception of the masses then one might as well be living in China or Cuba. The fact of the matter is that in a free society a person should be able to dress the way he pleases, wear his hair the way he likes or listen the type of music he is hipped to without fear of discrimination. Isn't that embedded in our constitution? My god!Why are we claiming to be an independent democratic country if we handle all of our affairs with bottled up emotions and knee jerk reactions?
@BahamianAway-Using extreme tactics such as searching every young black male is ineffective while at the same time oppressive. It only shows that the police lack real crime fighting strategies. In the end, these same young men, who are innocent, will be reluctant to assist the police when the public is called upon to provide relevant information pertaining to criminal matters. It amazes me the way people think. I know of some Bahamians who get agitated when they are pulled over by police in foreign-These Bahamians claim that they are only being harassed because of their skin colour. But I guess it is different when it is done in the Bahamas by our very own.
I think birdie is trying to say that people are holding this government's feet to the coal more than they did the previous administration. If you look at it, both the FNM and PLP have given the green light for developers to destroy our marine resources.

Sorry to hear it. This vexing problem really needs to be addressed before we lose the future leaders of the Bahamas!

I agree 100% I know many black young men who feel disenfranchised because police target them for no other reason than them being young, black males.
