Race relations in Trinidad

Dem tings deh happen to black people all over the world it seems. It's even happened to me here in Jamaica, in a store in Manor Park. The attendant was white though.

Such true words BCK. This type of thing occurs especially to black males. WE ARE THE MOST MISTRUSTED peoples on the surface of the earth. Britain is a very good yardstick to judge these things by because of the wide diversity of the multi-cultural mix and it is not imagined as grayflex rightly states, it is a fact.

Some young and inexperienced black youths will deliberately play to this sad state of affairs by attempting to challenge the system by trying to beat it. They most often come off the losers and further ingrain the stereotype of us being no good thieves and troube makers even further.

Europeans lost the golden goose in the form of slavery and sought to make sure that their former slaves would have little or no chance of becoming worthwhile citizens in their own right, but their use of cunning makes it sometimes very difficult to see the real impact that their various actions have had and continues to have in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe. The good in all races is what will eventually surface and carry the day, just because God is good.

Trinidad and Tobago's Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has said that while Government's "tactics of suppression" against East Indians have been subtle and appear politically correct, they have still resulted in many East Indians being fired from state enterprises.

...

"Indians in the state employ are being fired or displaced by Government merely because they are Indians," she said, adding that the terminations cannot be taken in isolation but, rather, have to be seen as a part of the state's employment strategy.

Is it blacks and others who are discriminating against the East Indians? I certainly hope not...Black people's history should ensure we never do such a dishonourable act.
