so is the racism involved anti-black or anti-Bahamian? or is it nationalism? I heard the terminated managers will be replaced by African Americans, so what is it now? Watch your language Unions.

anybody here on the blog ever tried to renew a work permit in the Bahamas? its like signing up for a spot in a pre-k in New York City for a child. you have to apply for it before the kid is born. last time it took immigration 11 month to renew, great job. who needs an electronic chip on an immigration card, ey, if you can't get anybody at immigration looking at your application?

GrassRoot says...

how many non black Bahamian police and immigration officers are there. ever made a statistic who gets more traffic tickets. Caucasians or African Bahamians. its ok its what Bahamas chooses to do. totally ok. just own it. its a fact.

GrassRoot says...

ha at least someone is still here.

yep looks like very profitable. I guess that is why all the banks are leaving. the reality is that it is the foreigners that started many of the great trades of the Bahamas. Banking, Atlantis, Accounting. And if you don't believe this to be a good thing, read the history of the entrepreneurial development in the U.S. and in Switzerland, the Swiss watch industry would be dead if it weren't for a Libanese investor called Hayek. But if you look at "THEM" as Colonialist, fine, send them home. get up early, work late and make less money. You will get there.... in 200 years.

1 lawyer per 100 people actually. France has 1 per 1400. The US 1 per 300 people.

GrassRoot says...

1 lawyer per 1000 people. go figure. We should use them to teach children how to read.

GrassRoot says...

that's the issue. Bahamians are not in for the long haul. all short term thinking. no long term strategy, the dishonesty of the politicians does not even allow a strategy to work beyond the next election date. two steps forward one back (or maybe three back).
