This nonsensical deception put forth by you people that crime is caused by fatherless homes is nothing but a scapegoat for successive government failure.
**....................................... This Is How Propaganda Works ........................................**
When a subculture is constantly stigmatized, the popular view becomes a part of our mutual understanding of ourselves – regardless of evidence.
And because this false advertising provides an "answer" to black Bahamians perceived failings without referencing the influence of systemic oppression, it’s a convenient lie.
I was an impressionable 13 year old from a large family when my father passed away. Today I am a self made successful businessman and neither of my siblings have turned to crime. There are scores of similar examples throughout the country.
Bahamas desperately needs "drain the swamp" of corruption in high places, encourage social entrepreneurship and focus on vocational education for the generation of the populace that were "led to failure" by corrupt, greedy politicians and our broken educational system.
People that oversimplify the cause and effect process are usually searching for anything that proves what they *already* believe to be true, rather than determining what the information actually says with a more honest approach.
Fatherlessness unquestionably is an aspect of the crime problem, however, remains way down the list of contributing factors leading to crime rather than the top root cause of crime as suggested by Richard Lightbourn.
Crime is directly linked to lack of opportunities, inadequate education, joblessness and hopelessness. Fatherless homes is way down the ladder as causes of crime!
People with no income cannot be expected to simply live under the stars and sit down watching their families starve to death. Human survival instincts motivates these people to find food and shelter by any means possible.
Those of you supporting Richard Lightbourn's stupidity would do your own research if you really cared about those less fortunate than you are.
Until people accept the fact that successive corrupt governments abject failure to educate the mass's, create opportunities and grow the economy commensurate with population growth are the **real reasons for crime** you will continue to fall prey to shadow racist like Richard Lightbourn and the political class that accepts no responsibility for wholesale failing the electorate.
The Bahamas is where we are today because we were led here by corrupt politicians and their greedy crony grouping of friends family and lovers!
**. Don't Miss The Point...Christie Granted 500 Bahamian Citizenships To Wealthy Chinese .**

The PLP effectively sold Bahamians out, lock, stock and barrel to the Chinese! Not just fishing and agriculture but every business in the country is now under threat of being overtaken by rich Chinese with Bahamian citizenship!
Bahamians will have to firstly vote the PLP out and lean heavily on Hubert jackass Ingraham's precedence of stop, review and cancel to get our country back.
**..................... Blah, Blah, Blah, Trump Won! & Will Now Become President ........................**
Regardless of all the above, Donald Trump **WILL** be the next U.S. President.
YES, he is unorthodox and YES, he is unquestionably temporarily out of his depth. However, "President" Trump is a businessman "first" and accustomed to unfamiliar territory. He will adapt quickly for better or worse.
He is not a typical, professional, bullshit politician, he is a realist. Its only fair to give the man a chance before condemning him for his ignorance.
I wholeheartedly congratulate Mr. Trump. And wish him success with the very difficult task of "draining the swamp" in Washington and "beginning" the process of confronting the cesspool of elite corruption that has gridlocked U.S. politic's against the best interest of the electorate for decades.
Bahamas would do well to have a Donald Trump of our own!!
