And can we just leave this "white" thing alone, especially since the people who bring it up are mulatto passing for white? See why color becomes such a problem depending on how you choose to discuss it?
It seems that the truth is not in him, otherwise he would have been truly honest about which "white Bahamians" he is actually referring to, such that he has to keep on making the public reference. Had he said the traditional big-money backers of the FNM are not supporting Minnis, that would not have had the same import or effect as saying "white Bahamians" - which is a group far larger than the white knights.
You must be Michael Scott or a cousin of his, because I know you saw me specifically highlight the white Bahamians he is referring to, not all white Bahamians. And since he is also being intellectually dishonest in his commentary about white Bahamians (in that he knows he is only referring to a handful of white Bahamians and passing-as-white Bahamians who are the FNM's traditional backers) hence my joke about you either being him or being close to him!
Scott should have just said what he really meant. Don't say white Bahamians, say the traditional white financial backers of the FNM who he is clearly speaking on behalf of, which is only a handful of men; a tiny subset of the minority race in this country. But he can't be that honest, so he has to be intellectually and socially dishonest by making it a purely racial thing. And this is why I say that when you disingenuously insert race into important discussions such as the fate of the nation, it dishonors us all no matter what "color" we are.
While I do not agree that Minnis represents change (unless you simply mean he is another human being), gold star for jackbnimble otherwise. Talk about a few ugly truths. This is exactly why I opined that Scott is opening up a can of worms he cannot contain and he is not helping his camp any.
Good thing your personal opinion of me is of less than nil consequence. You need help for this anger you have about racial issues. It is only on racial issues here that you get so touchy and combative and belligerent. I know a few white professionals, friends of mine, who can assist... (just kidding).
He wasn't referring to dictatorships, which ofcourse do not have their genesis in Africa though they exist in some African countries today. He explained in another post what he meant.
Are you sick? So you think black Bahamians support Minnis as opposed to whites? What Bahamas are you living in? No wonder you are so vociferously supporting the spokesman for white Bahamians. lol. Black voters think the man is a zero just as white voters do.

Yes, this McWeeny's quote but this was not the main bone of contention with the bills as stated in Parliament by Minnis.
