N i am certain that if these number men were white men we would not even be having this discussion. I find it amusing when I hear the argument that the only people who are getting rich are the owners. Well if they took the risk and put up the money then who should really benefit. have u ever walked in kellys and said my god only kelly one benefitting from kellys.Aside from the jobs I would challenge anyone to compare the charitable contributions of these numbermen to any other business in the country. I see it different. i see young black men who through creativity took an almost century old custom to another level and became bosses in a town. And when I say boss I am not talking about the sopranos I am talking about young men who employ hundreds of people. How many families do you feed daily?
I am certain that Sol and Sarkis must find this whole episode amusing. Here it is the government of the bahamas is fighting a few number businessmen over what is almost a century old custom and on the other hand the government helps subsidize foreigner doing the exact same thing. Then there is the Christian Council who decided when the Pindling government was first considering casino gambling that a compromise would be to allow gambling but to not allow bahamians to gamble. Like these lawyers say with wigs in court---I put it to you members of the clergy that your opposition is not really sincere because if you truly felt that there was something demonic about gambling you would not want our American and European guests to partake on this soil. Its like saying crack is bad but we will allow you to sell it just as long as you dont sell it to bahamians. Take it a step further you would not take money from any members who work in casinos. A few months ago some of these same clergymen were fighting for the right to bless bahamar biggest casino in the region. Then there is the police. We live in a country where there are literally hundreds of murderers out on bail, some on bail for three and four murderers n you are telling me we should have the police hiding in bushes with binoculars trying to catch mama rolle putting in her 3ball. Some people thought this was gonna give them points with the Lord but I doubt
