Another out of touch political party. How could so-called intelligent, educated, people, be so dam dense that they can't simply look at where we came from to figure out how we got where we are now?
Prior to dumb Pindling, dumber Ingraham, and dumbest Christie, the Bahamas enjoyed over employment, Bahamians all had two or in some cases three jobs, there was no crime to speak of, and we never thought about locking our doors or partying until sunrise. Murders were something we heard about in the U.S. or other countries. On the very odd occasion, if there was a murder in the Bahamas, everybody went into deep shock!
Pindling, Ingraham, and Christie, with all their combined wisdom, decided we needed more people to build the country and opened the floodgates for Haitians and anybody else to come in and take jobs away from Bahamians.
The 3 stooges were so busy enriching bay street boys, sunshine boys, friends, family, lovers, and living high on the hog on peoples' backs, they never considered they had to actually educate the masses, and grow the economy commensurate with the massive false per capita population boom.
The 3 stooges abandoned the people they failed to educate, internationally labeled them as "D" average illiterates, and encouraged better-educated ex-pats from anywhere to come in and take jobs and entire sectors of the economy away from Bahamians. Over decades of this imbalance, Bahamians grew poorer and poorer, people began to despair, unable to find alternate means of survival, in desperation, they began turning to crime.
Bahamians now find themselves, unemployed, hopeless, with nowhere to turn for survival and supporting families other than "hustling" a living on the streets. As with any "job", the proper tools are essential. To hustle on the streets the required "tools" are guns and knives, resulting in the present crime wave, caused by the undeniable result of 50 years of failed governance!
The only solution to crime is to reverse the open door ex-pat policy, allow our people to get back to work, and give them the opportunity to earn a living.
WTF? This woman cannot be serious! Ms. Hanna Martin couldn't find her voice to condemn police brutality when the PLP had police body-slamming people to the ground and stomped on the Paradise Island bridge during the Cabbage Beach vendor fiasco!
These stupid politicians continue making fools of themselves by believing their own nonsense that Bahamians have short memories.
police Commissioner Anthony Ferguson is overflowing with mushy-green-poo! Police brutality and torture of civilians has always been a well-known norm in the Bahamas. The video will have absolutely no effective change in the deep culture of police brutality.
Pindling, Ingraham, Christie, and Minnis, administrations 100% condoned police brutality and cannot escape the consequences and negative connotations that have now surfaced due to the video!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. bishop Simeon Hall should have made a "clarion call" on the government to get rid of all nonessential ex-pat workers and allow our young people the opportunity to work and earn a living instead of being forced to hustle for survival!
Simeon Hall ignorantly makes the comparison of crime between white people and black people but turns a blind eye to the fact that **"white people" are employed and prospering** while black people are unemployed and left wanting.
Simeon Hall, the government and others standing around talking non-sense telling so-called "angry black men" to put down their guns" only proves that they are totally out of touch with the black unemployed populace who **"need those guns as tools"** to hustle a living!
Employment and opportunity to earn a living is the answer to crime. They must stop finding excuses for giving all the jobs to ex-pats and allow our people to work.
The murders and crime will continue until the government finally pull their heads out of their backside and actually "gets it".
Firstly, Mr. Dames needs to stop ignoring this mammoth problem and admit we have had this serious, well-known problem of police mistreatment and abuse of civilians forever!
The culture of police abuse stems back to the British and have escalated for the worse after their departure.
Pindling, Ingraham, and Christie administrations condoned and even encouraged police brutality 110% as did former police commissioners. Cops act as a group of out of control thugs, routinely terrorizing, and extorting civilians without fear of consequences.
Get rid of all the blue-collar ex-pats holding low skilled jobs and allow our young people to earn a living rather than "hustle" for survival and the murder count will be drastically reduced!
James Smith, Leslie Miller, and other clowns like them never have any positive suggestions about what efforts we as a country should be making to lift up unemployed Bahamians and teach them the skills and discipline needed to better themselves.
The looming reconstruction boom in Abaco and Freeport is a perfect opportunity for the government to focus on getting low skilled unemployed Bahamians trained, and back to work. Bring in the required tutors/instructors to teach them skills and proper discipline. Obviously, some will fall between the cracks, but the ones that do make the grade will become nation builders!
Jackasses like this, in decision-making positions, are the reason we are dam near outnumbered by Haitians today!
What the hell is wrong with James Smith and others with these idiotic, illogical, ideas about using Haitian labor and granting them status? Haitians have already dominated the construction industry while skilled Bahamians cannot find work!
We all know legal Haitians are the biggest sponsors to illegal Haitian migration and this jackass wants to regularise and grant more Haitians status? **hell no!**
Will Bahamian workers get any special "status" for working? Why the hell would we need to grant Haitians or any other workers any status or regularise them for work? If we decide it is in our best interest to use them or others, they will not be "making a positive contribution", in fact, they wouldn't be making any "contribution" whatsoever, as they would receive a day's pay for a day's work the same as Bahamian workers. No one pays for a "contribution"!
The big differences between the 30,000 Bahamians that went on the U.S. contract to work in fields during the second world war and Haitians that legally migrate to the Bahamas is that Bahamians did not routinely break U.S. laws and construct any illegal shantytowns, Bahamians did not create a parallel economy to evade U.S. taxes, Bahamians did not undermine U.S. immigration laws by relentlessly smuggling relatives and friends into the U.S., Bahamians did not deal in smuggling drugs, arms, and humans, Bahamians immediately blended in and assimilated with Americans, Bahamians became nation-builders not parasites of their hosts country!
With a population of just under 80,000 people, had 30,000 Bahamians in1943-1965 engaged in the clandestine, illegal, parasitic, activities in the U.S. as Haitians now perpetrate on the Bahamas, either the U.S. would have slammed their borders shut to Bahamians, or there wouldn't be any Bahamians left in the Bahamas today!
