Extremely low...yet it happened. A young Bahamian male was killed in U.S. custody just a couple of years ago. There was no hullabaloo then by the media, or fellow Bahamians...I don't recall a single comment. Now everyone is upset because the U.S. could possibly be offended, could possibly retaliate...that chances of that is even lower.
Only an idiot would be embarrassed over something like that, but look who I'm responding to...A person with a limited vocabulary and a one track mind. It's no wonder you're missing the point.
If she had gotten the money back...I doubt she would have an issue with the conditions. It just sounds better to say she's boycotting for that reason, and not because her winnings were confiscated because she tried to do something illegal.
Rollins capitalizes on every opportunity to get his name in the papers even if he isn't making sense. The advisory had nothing to do with diplomacy...Mitchell did his job.
Of course they don't...that's why everyone is up in arms about a retaliation of some sort...but perhaps they should them for what they are. How do Americans see Bahamas? read some of the comments they made on the international press...they see more black violent thugs they don't want in their country. These sentiments did not formulate overnight as a result of FM's comments
I know of one unarmed, young Bahamian male that was killed in U.S. police custody. How many Americans were killed by Bahamian police and exonerated of the charges? Let's talk reality, and no fabricated stats that do not compare apples to apples.
You don't have to poke a bully in the eye to get them riled up. They will do whatever they like without provocation. We should not be silly enough to believe the Bahamas threw the first stone in this non-existent war of travel advisories.
I actually never made the "we were right" argument but we were certainly not wrong. My point has always been there is no benefit is kissing U.S. @ss. Whether we ramain silent or not on issues of concern the U.S. will still issue advisories, and still act in the best interest of the U.S. even to the detriment of the Bahamas. Some of you are carrying on like panicky fools act as if the MOFA declared war on the U.S...in all honesty it's not that serious! Will be forgotten in another couple of days.
