What is a "white" Bahamian???? .......... are we confusing light-skinned Conchy Joes with real white persons from Northern Europe? ....... Most Bahamians (98%) are bi-racial and suffer more discrimination from classism and colourism rather than racism.
Mango-skinned people from Eleuthera and Long Island are called "white" in Nassau ..... It is a social construct that has nothing to do with being Caucasian ................ we are really confused by what is "white" ......... Let us stop confusing the "white" moniker with one's DNA.
Why do we concentrate on "white" while there are at least 30 other "minorities" that are overlooked in that 10% of Bahamian population ...... Greeks, Jews, Lebanese, Chinese etc.
We are all idiots ............ the Bahamian political class is like a cartel, lodge, fraternity .............. Do not pay attention to their public noise ....... Watch the backroom dealings and how they defend each other across the divide ......... Once you step inside that inner circle of Bahamian public power, it's a "quagmire of mud" (Minnis quote).

I don't really care what GG Smith says .......... I concentrate on the statue in the background. It is so ironic that Vicky is blocking out the Coat of Arms ............ Actions speak louder than words.
I agree with you 100% ........ who is middle class in The Bahamas???
We are almost like Haiti now ........ rich (10%) and poor (90%) ......... If you make $50,000 to $100,000, but you owe the bank for all of your possessions, you are not middle class ........ If you owe the bank, your are POOR.
The PLP has a good excuse ....... Lady SLOP had her own house so we didn't have to fix Govt House while we were in Office .......... Shallow, dumb, stupid excuse.
Then the FNM duplicated the same excuse .......... and then decided to get rid of Lady SLOP with no Plan A or Plan B, so we have their Plan C.
That is why many say there is NO difference between the two sets of political clowns.
