Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Regardless of how far you shove your head up your backside, the fact remains whatever Fred says has absolutely no credibility with Bahamians because he has unquestionably proven that his loyalty is to Haiti and his Haitian countryman at all costs!
The total socio-economic collapse of the Bahamas is already well underway by the huge negative impact of the parallel language, social, economic, and multi-level corrupt systems employed by Fred's Haitian brethren.
Case in point. How many homeless Haitians have we seen begging in the streets? How many Haitians do we see standing in soup kitchen lines begging for food every day even prior to COVID-19? How is it possible that even illegal Haitians are in better financial positions during this pandemic than Bahamian citizens in their own country? Why is it possible that we see Haitians and other ex-pats still standing in long lines repatriating money at every money transfer location while more and more Bahamians are standing in soup kitchen lines begging for handouts every day?
Without question, we definitely need a fresh start.
Let's start the process by making it mandatory that every work permit, belonger, resident, and citizenship status are nullified and checked for authenticity before reissuing, implementing, and stringently enforcing illegal employment regulations, best practices for limiting the number of any particular foreign national in ratio to Bahamians.
If insulting, abusing, beating, torturing, shooting, the messenger, and stubbornly keep saying it is better in the Bahamas is what it takes to rid the country of the Haitian invasion and secure the Bahamas for future generations of Bahamians. It is a very small price to pay. SO BE IT!
Travelers testing or not testing prior to coming here shouldn't even be a question!
Nobody will ever convince me that the United States, being the richest and most powerful country in the world couldn't have simply gone through the lock-down process like every other country in the world. If they had, they would have been on par with the rest of the world and ready to open its border.
On their present trajectory, unquestionably COVID19 will force them to shut-down in a few short weeks forcing them to go through a long, painful, protracted shut-down.
How they couldn't see this coming will forever be one of the greatest mysteries of all time!
Due to his lop sided bias position on the Haitian invasion, the majority of Bahamians dismiss anything from Fred Smith and find him totally reprehensible and abhorrent!
All the years Fred has been fighting for Haitians, he has not once found it necassary to stand up for his adoptive country, the Bahamas. He knows every Haitian drug and human trafficker in the country, yet he has never surrenderd one to the government.
Like most people, I refuse to read anything coming from Fred, and will continue ignoring him until he proves some nationalism to the Bahamas!
One of the biggests blessing during the COVID19 lockdown was not having to see any Haitians or being bombarded with Creol!
Repatriations should reflect illegal entry. Sending 67 men and eight women, but no children is a real reason for concern. Where are the illegal children?
"There are still many students who do not have a device or the internet, and would, necessarily, have been deprived of the benefit of continuing school,”. So why the hell are you pushing them for what we all know most cannot possibly be ready for??
My GOD man have a heart! Most of these kids and their parents are suffering from multiple effects of COVID19 and the debilitating lockdowns, the mental anguish of watching parents worry about rent, food, light, medical bills, and this George Floyd matter which is very disturbing even to adults has to be most troubling to children. How the hell can you expect them to concentrate on studies while being bombarded with so many life-changing negatives happening?
What is the harm of delaying exams and giving these children every possible opportunity to catch up?
We don't need white police brutality. From the ridiculous coconut man judge to Jeff Lloyd, why are the Bahamas always ready to beat up, degrade, and hurt our own people?
WTF?.....Brave Davis had no problem with police brutality and excessive force being used on our people on the paradise island bridge with the vendor beach fiasco and thousands of complaints in the courts of police beating suspects throughout his entire political career!
The PLP as a party was never interested in bridging any gaps in economic inequality or showed any signs of intervention through "social programs", in fact, the record shows they did the exact opposite by stifling as many Bahamians as possible and giving everything to foreigners.
This same clown stood before the nation yelling "Bahamians First" & "We Believe In Bahamians" and what happened? Now he wants us to believe he will suddenly have his minions "reach their hands down and pick up their brothers and sisters"? Lol. This guy must think we eat stupid for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
**NOBODY** can be stupid enough to believe anything from Davis and the PLP. What they have not done in 50 years certainly cannot be expected now!
As an individual that lived in the US for 13 years and traveled extensivly interstate and across 4 continents, Alicia Wallace is 110% right with her summation of white privilege, racism, police brutality, and the difference in the standard of living for white people and black people.
Protest around the world proves these are not just USA centric issues but are generational engrained global problems that must be addressed!
Many white Bahamians dislike black Bahamians because they believe "black Bahamians were not equal to them before majority rule, still are not equal now, and don't know their place". Alternatively, Haitians are subservient and therefore acceptable to white Bahamians and ex-pats.
As bahamianson wants to "remove boards from our own eyes", before talking about Haitians, he needs to first acknowledge the generations of economic marginalization suffered by black Bahamians, and continue suffering today. We do not see any white Bahamian ghettos over the hill or white Bahamians in soup kitchen lines begging for food!
This silly argument that black Bahamians hate Haitians and people of Haitian descent is a white Bahamian and ex-pat fallacy that they use to justify their own hate of black Bahamians.
The facts are black Bahamians do not hate Haitians as a people. What Black Bahamians *do hate about* Haitians is the socio-economic issues caused by illegal Haitian migration which is supported by legal Haitians, which has driven far too many black Bahamians to poverty.
These socio-economic issues in which **white Bahamians are immune to**, are factors that have negative influences on black Bahamian economic activity, diminishes quality and availability of adequate education, deminished health care, cultural discrimination, filthy shanty-towns, overpopulation, greatly increased unemployment, corruption, income, and wealth.
None of these socio-economic factors have any effect whatsoever on the lives, livelihood, children, or in any way impacts white Bahamians, which is why they cannot begin to comprehend why Haitians are "the" major threat to the very survival of black Bahamians!
Regarding the "One teacher told her students in a Bahamian Public school , " We will never have a white Prime Minister". Why praytell would black Bahamians have **wanted** a white prime minister after having recently emerged from generations of minority white rule and racisim mirroring the USA at that time? Where was the outcry from white Bahamians?Secondly, why are you holding onto a few ignorant statements from school children?
At this juncture after 50+ years of consistant, utter, failure under majority rule, black Bahamians would welcome a white prime minister if they thought he would finally deal with the injustices, systemic and endimic corruption that has destroyed our country and people!
Police brutality here is a well known normal occurrence. Everybody knows of numerous instances where "BLACK" Bahamians have been brutalized and tortured into confessions!
In the U.S. It is white cops and a white Justice system brutalizing black people. The really hurtful thing is, In the Bahamas, it is black cops and a black Justice system brutalizing black people.
The PLP and FNM are equally guilty of condoning police brutality for decades!!
