It's amazing to hear the descendants of slaves speak so passionately about the law. Human rights and empathy is a valid consideration notwhitstanding the laws of a country. Not so long ago the forefathers of every black Bahamian was shipped to this land from his native Africa to endure slavery which was the LAW at the time. Not so long ago the descendants of these slaves had no right to vote in The Bahamas by LAW although this was their country of birth. Not so long ago These very black Bahamians were segregated in shantytowns based on their skin color.....So although a law may exist in a particular era that LAW may be unjust....The pursuit of social justice is a dynamic and ongoing movement... which we black people should never forget!!..If we were to fully apply these xenophobic sentiments, perhaps we ourselves should be repatriated to Africa our motherland....An individual born in the Bahamas of foreign descent who knows no other country or way of life MUST be carefully considered with compassion and empathy as a candidate for legitimate integration in his/her country of BIRTH.
