Last time I checked crimes came with punishment not a pep talk to "get on with it". If you had any clue about the global argument about reparation you would know there is an economic impact and that's why reparations are being sought. You do know of the concept that criminals are not supposed to profit from their crimes. So, a murderer for example can't sell books detailing the crimes he committed. You keep going back to African tribes handing over fellow Africans and trying to diminish the white involvement in this atrocity. I wonder why? I can assure you I'm far from needing money from reparations. But, I do expect that peoplenare held accountable for their actions. To state that slaves are dead and I guess you're also including their masters. So, once everyone has passed on whatever evil was done is now good, aye? Slave owners profited from slavery. The wealth was passed on from generation to generation. Descendants of slaves entered this world disadvantaged. If you knew anything at all about this reparation discussion and put aside your clear bias you would appreciate what countless scholarships across the globe is seeking to achieve.

Lol. A bit harsh. Thanks for clarifying what was being depicted. I assumed the writer misunderstood what he saw. We know if it was supposedly some mockery of a Christian religious scene there would have been backlash, not just this one writer. Also, the organizers would have ensured such an offense was not put on display to bring negative press to the games.

The system is rotten to the core. You would think perhaps the Bahamas Medical Council along with the Minister if Health should be looking into this and other matters. But, they are not. If you look at the flagrant abuse by doctors and the Bahamas Medical Council seem to be on vacation. We need to stop creating regulatory bodies who are just there in name only. Disband this group of clowns and put in place an actual regulatory body.

A pretty good showing here. The decathlon is a grueling competition and a lot of these athletes are from countries with tons of resources to put them at the top of their game. So, we should be really proud of the performance here.

Just to be clear, ignorance means lack of knowledge. The main point here is given what people of color particularly those of Afrian descent have suffered, it's extremely mindblowing that people believe they need to shut up and move on. Keep in mind there are mechanisms still at play to ensure the oppression of people of color.in a lot of institutions globally. Another thing, you mention that slavery is still going on. There's a lot of things going on in a lot of countries that shouldn't be going on. It's not just blacks and people of color who are screwed up. If you check your history again you would recall the former Yugoslavia where genocide began with the Serbs trying to exterminate the Croats. Then the Serbs and Croats in one area decide to combine efforts to exterminate the Albanians. There are numerous ethnic, religious clashes all.over the globe all the time. If you're over a certain age you would know of the fighting in Ireland between the Catholics and Prostestants. There were tons of stories of what happened on the road to Belfast.

👀 I see someone here doesn't have a clue. The transatlantic slave trade was the greatest atrocity known to mankind. To say that anyone expecting compensation for that is looking for a handout speaks to gross ignorance and a total detachment from humanity. To also state of being sold into Slavery by our own people reflects a lack of education. Slavery in the African context at the time was a totally different thing than what it was in the European context. A slave in the African context had rights. One slave, if I recall correct, later rose to become a king. The inhumanity shown to African slaves could not be fathomed by fellow Africans. Also, if you fast forward to Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, Jews handed over Jews to Germans. But, no one dares to make the statement that it lessens the atrocity of Hitler and the Germans at the time. So, why be so ignorant to repeat such nonsense. The Jews got reparation. No one said they were asking for a handout. When Haiti defeated the French, the French wanted payment. I take it you know zero about history. Strong suggestion, read before you give an ignorant opinion.

Birdie, birdie, fly away. Lol. If you pay attention to international news you would know that when you have major allegations of Police Corruption you bring in an independent party to investigate. This is just basic. If a police department in the US is accused of something as severe as this you may have the FBI come in to investigate or you may have some task force appointed by the Justice Department. You DO NOT let the corrupt police investigate themselves. I guess you didn't figure that out.

People were focused on that? Lol. Really? The Treasury is bare for flagrant abuse of the public purse. Crime is at an all time high. The government gone fishing. No one saying a peep. But, the athletes wearing a tracksuit for the parade of nations is where they draw the line. Lol. This country! Banana banana banana republic!

Geezus! I hope you don't believe this for your sake. Lol. Let's not play politics and look at facts. There are leaked tapes and dead suspects to a crime that is the subject of the voice notes. The police are caught up in this drama. This really ain't the time to spew political garbage. Flush your thoughts and think about what's good for the country.

We have pastors that take advantage of young girls. Priests that molest little boys. There js stealing in the church. We could go on and on. Do you stop going to church? I'm not saying that you should not be offended by what you saw. I'm just saying that I hope you're pushing to clean up everything you see.

The Olympics is a secular event not a religious one. Athletes go there to compete, not for a religious purpose. If you have a coworker at work that does something offensive do you stop going to work? You can't change the world around you.
