Professor Christopher Curry's summation is absolutely correct! History is bound to repeat itself mainly because nothing has ever been done to correct the many wrongs.
The elites only know oppression and only respond to violence!
Mr. Hershall Hoyte said..........“Personally, I feel like protesting doesn’t do anything,” he said. “I’ve seen it happen too many times before. They protest and you see this whole big thing about it for two weeks and after that, it fades away and everyone acts like it never happened. So after I keep seeing that, I don’t even pay attention or get involved in that because it doesn’t change anything."
Spoken like a true complacent Bahamian!
Our complacency is the reason the PLP and FNM have gotten away with any number of crimes against Bahamians for so long!
Ironically, white Americans now complaining about the protesters looting, burning, and violence, play ignorant to the fact that they themselves gained everything they have including the United States of America through violence, civil unrest, carnage, and a war against English oppression!
The American Indians lost their entire country to the invading white man whose mantras included: "Give me liberty, or give me death!" (Patrick Henry. March 23, 1775)
“If you want something you've never had you must be willing to do something you've never done.”! (Thomas Jefferson)
Minorities in the U.S. must stand and do whatever must be done to effect change if they wish to gain respect from the Anglo Saxons!

@mandela......Our politicians have learned nothing. They habitually entice, mislead and fool, the people with slick slogans and have **never once** delivered!
Bahamians are complacent, but the politicians have long ago run out of rope, and COVID19 has made even the blind see that so many of us are suffering today because of decades of poor political leadership so time is not on their side.
The PLP buried themselves, and lost all credibility with "we believe in Bahamians". This FNM joined the electorates' thirst for inclusion in "ownership" with "Its' the people's time".
Both slogans acknowledge that Bahamians have been short-changed and marginalized by politicians for decades. The PLP and FNM have unwittingly self-condemned themselves!
The only question is, what "George Floyd" incident will finally push Bahamians over the edge to make us angry enough to lead to massive civil unrest demanding change and accountability?
History repeats itself. It has to and will happen!
Martin Luther Kings' "nonviolent" protesting agenda was always a non-starter doomed to fail! The only "change" throughout history **anywhere** only came with violence and civil unrest!
The powers that be only understand violence, civil disobedience, and extreme pressure. Peaceful protest and talk are perceived as weakness, always falling on deaf ears. The American Indians are prime examples of failed "talks and treaties" with Anglo Saxons.
Burning down buildings, police stations, and cities is an expensive price to pay for change, but after **400 years of injustice**, murder, and dialog, it is way past time for American minorities to resort to drastic measures.
The only surprise with these riots and black Americans is why after **400 years** of being, murdered and marginalized in their own country, why haven't they turned to terrorism to get their point across?
Armed to the teeth white supremacists marched in cities 2 weeks ago about coronavirus lockdowns and wearing masks, confronted and antagonized police. What do you think would happen if armed black Americans took to the streets and confronted cops about murdering Floyd and other blacks?
America has serious race issues. The worse news is, many Americans with race issues end up working and living here imposing their racists', superiority, attitudes on unsuspecting Bahamians!
Wow, I can't beleive how many of you wasted time actually reading what the PLP has to say!
As far as any thinking person should be concerned, the PLP "as a party" lost all revalance with the dancing clown and "we beleive in Bahamians" promise. We will **NEVER** forget how the PLP never repeated the slogan after being elected, resurrected rejects like Alison Maynard to the highest positions in the country, gave away 100's of acres in Cable beach, conspired with the Chinese to sell out Sarkis, British Colonial, beat and stomped our people on Paradise Island bridge, money disappearing from road traffic, the post office etc, etc,'etc, etc,etc.
It was 5 years of injustice and pilaging the likes we have never seen!
Where the hell was Chester? Why didn't Brave, Alison, Fred, Doc, and Forbes stand up for the people then?
This FNM is far from perfect, but the plp is not the solution!!!
Donald Trump must be promoted to a black man then because he IS the proven most incompetent authoritarian who just does not want to give up his grip on power regardless how many people die!
All Americans, and everyone else, should be held accountable to rule of law! If you/they cannot, then you/they should indeed relocate to the Keys where you/they WILL unqueationably be held accountable to the rule of law!!!
Had a Bahamian opened fire on policeman the coconut judge or any other judge would unquestionably jail him for life!
Why are American boaters allowed free reign in and out of the country from a known virus hot spot when a Bahamian cannot move about inter-island, sell coconuts or fetch water from a pump?
