		<description>There are people in every community, every country who have selfish reasons to make situations worse, even if it means filling their own people&#039;s head with destructive thoughts. There are others who try to live correctly and make the world a better place to live in. These two types of people, the latter being decent hard-working people belong to every race, religion, country and economic group - unfortunately so does the former group who are the racist, greedy, trouble-makers who have criminal tendencies. These are like the new plague in our societies who try to justify their criminal and racist minds.
The reason people would call many of your ideas backward is that  you choose the lazy ignorant path of  evil. It takes too  much time and effort to to the correct thing and seek the truth about the situations in these countries.
I know for most of you,who have chosen this path of ignorance but aggression and racism for you and your family and the country, that you have chosen to do the wrong thing for selfish reasons.
Enjoy your life</description>

		<description>I congratulate you for being so bold as to call some of the african majority population asses in their own country of which you have been welcomed.

For it was these african asses who took you hungry and destitute and starving from guyana and elsewhere, and showed you a standard of living that you didn&#039;t think possible.

Here in barbados we refer to your ethnic group - in particular those in the van trade in cheap trinkets as - &#039;the coolie man&#039;.

So I will of course affectionately say to you &#039;coolie man&#039; - rest assured  - &#039;day does run &#039;til night ketch it&#039;.

You might just find that some of these african asses are not so stupid after all.</description>

		<description>Listen here Anonymous, you don&#039;t have the balls to even identify who you are.

As for drug dealing. You out a your twisted mind. All over the world Africans and whites are selling and using drugs. I have seen this so mant times in my life, I take it for granted now. 

I thinik it is unfortunate that this is happening among Africans. The problem is that other African asses like you don&#039;t help the situation becaus eyou deny it&#039;s reality or blame it on someone else. 

I am not surprised that you think your views are rational because you are sick. But thankfully Barbados doesn&#039;t have many like you and thank goodness Africans like you are the minority.  

Most are very intelligent people who of course have a lot of hurt and anger to deal with. But that&#039;s another story.</description>

		<description>Remember Roger khan - the biggest drug pusher in guyana?

Remember dole chaddee - the biggest drug pusher in Trinidad?

What do they have in common? - they are all indians who brought in drugs and took it to the african neighbourhoods and enticed young men and women to not only be their dealers but their users as well - so as to ensure a ready supply of users.

They started pushing it at the secondary schools - and only to african children - well my friend - the chickens have come home to roost.

What goes around comes around!</description>

		<description>The above are some recent action by some of your heroes in Guyana.



&lt;blockquote&gt;
Kaieteur News  
May 1 2008

Recent kidnappings and disappearances
October 26, 2002: The nude and partly-eaten body of Camaldeen Ganesh, a businessman from Strathspey, East Coast Demerara, is found in the Buxton backlands.
Gunmen had kidnapped him on October 16, 2002 near Bladen Hall and had demanded half a million dollars for his release.
Businessman Ray Seebarran was also released by his abductors after a hefty ransom was reportedly paid.
October 2002: Businessman Bramanand Nandalall is abducted in broad daylight in Georgetown. He is eventually rescued from a house in Lamaha Gardens. 
In the aftermath, prison escapees Dale Moore and Mark Fraser, along with five others, are shot dead.
October,  2002: The bound and bullet-riddled body of 68-year-old farmer Jinga Motilall, who had been kidnapped by gunmen, is found in a trench in the Vigilance backlands. 
December, 2002: Nineteen-year-old Sadesh Sahadeo, a carpenter of Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, disappears after telling relatives that he is going to Buxton to collect money from someone who owes him. He never returns home, and relatives reportedly receive demands for a $5M ransom.   
The ransom is reportedly never paid and Sahadeo has not been seen since. His remains were later found in the backlands and a DNA test verified the grim details more than a year later.
November 2003: Labourers working at the back of the Botanical Gardens unearth a human skeleton. The remains are identified as those of Adrian Etienna, a Sophia resident, who was abducted the previous month.
April 2003: Sixteen-year-old Roy Bell is kidnapped in the city. The teen’s family hands over a ransom, but on April 14, 2003, Roy Bell’s body is found on the parapet at Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara.
March, 2004: Twenty-seven-year-old Buxtonian, Joslyn Jones, who some police sources say was linked to a rape and robbery spree on the East Coast of Demerara, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. 
He has not been seen since.  
April 2, 2004: Two heavily-armed gunmen kidnap Iranian national Mohamed Ibrahimi shortly after he leaves the Islamic College in United Nations Place.
His body, with two bullet holes in the head, is eventually found in a shallow grave off the Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
In another kidnapping that year, gunmen snatched a female Critchlow Labour College student shortly after she had left the compound. 
The men took her to North Ruimveldt, but fled, leaving their captive behind after heavily-armed policemen tracked them down.
On April 29: Three gunmen kidnap Azad Khan, a farmer from Number 73 Village, Corentyne, after robbing a liquor store proprietor from another Corentyne village.  
The men initially demanded $2M from Khan’s family, but eventually released him after some $200,000 is paid.
Mahaica businessman Vick Singh was rescued by the Joint Services from a house in Buxton after he was held there by kidnappers for almost five days.
March 2005: Buxton resident, Mark Anthony Wilburg, was kidnapped by armed men in his village.
There are reports that the 31-year-old man has been executed, as is the fate of his friend, 52-year-old deportee Roy Franklin, called ‘Kochore’, who was shot dead and dumped in Friendship Village the day after Wilburg disappeared.
Wilburg has not been seen since.
May-September 2005: Sugar workers Maikhram Sawh, Sukhram Dhanay and Hardat vanish mysteriously while working in the canefields on East Coast Demerara. Despite several searches, they have never been found.
Perhaps the most noteworthy case occurred when American diplomat, Steve Lesniak, was kidnapped while playing golf at the Lusignan Golf Club.
He was released hours later when a ransom was delivered to his kidnappers in Buxton.
But earlier, the US Government issued a federal arrest warrant for notorious bandit Shawn Brown who was eventually shot dead by security forces during a standoff in Prashad Nagar.   
May, 2007: Michael Sukul, a Leonora, West Coast Demerara lumber dealer is abducted from a house at Providence, East Bank Demerara.
The kidnappers demand $24M for his safe return.
The ransom is not paid and Sukul is found badly beaten some days later on a Mahaica roadway. 
He succumbs shortly after even as he tries to tell the police who his abductors were.
June-July 2003: Lethem businessman Mohamed Khan is kidnapped while heading for Brazil.
A body is later found in a shallow grave in Brazil, but it is still unclear whether the corpse is Khan’s. In the end the family members conclude that Khan is dead.
December, 2007: Shaliza Dataram and her three-year-old daughter are abducted by gunmen from their Ruimzeight, West Coast Demerara home. They are taken to a Pomeroon location but are rescued by police ranks. 
A man believed to be a Colombian is killed in the ensuing shootout.  
Also last year the son of a CARICOM official was kidnapped from his South Ruimveldt home.
The police almost botched an attempt to capture one of the perpetrators during an exchange of gunfire in Sophia.
The youth was subsequently released after a ransom was paid.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The men took her to North Ruimveldt, but fled, leaving their captive behind after heavily-armed policemen tracked them down.<br />
On April 29: Three gunmen kidnap Azad Khan, a farmer from Number 73 Village, Corentyne, after robbing a liquor store proprietor from another Corentyne village.<br />
The men initially demanded $2M from Khan’s family, but eventually released him after some $200,000 is paid.<br />
Mahaica businessman Vick Singh was rescued by the Joint Services from a house in Buxton after he was held there by kidnappers for almost five days.<br />
March 2005: Buxton resident, Mark Anthony Wilburg, was kidnapped by armed men in his village.<br />
There are reports that the 31-year-old man has been executed, as is the fate of his friend, 52-year-old deportee Roy Franklin, called ‘Kochore’, who was shot dead and dumped in Friendship Village the day after Wilburg disappeared.<br />
Wilburg has not been seen since.<br />
May-September 2005: Sugar workers Maikhram Sawh, Sukhram Dhanay and Hardat vanish mysteriously while working in the canefields on East Coast Demerara. Despite several searches, they have never been found.<br />
Perhaps the most noteworthy case occurred when American diplomat, Steve Lesniak, was kidnapped while playing golf at the Lusignan Golf Club.<br />
He was released hours later when a ransom was delivered to his kidnappers in Buxton.<br />
But earlier, the US Government issued a federal arrest warrant for notorious bandit Shawn Brown who was eventually shot dead by security forces during a standoff in Prashad Nagar.<br />
May, 2007: Michael Sukul, a Leonora, West Coast Demerara lumber dealer is abducted from a house at Providence, East Bank Demerara.<br />
The kidnappers demand $24M for his safe return.<br />
The ransom is not paid and Sukul is found badly beaten some days later on a Mahaica roadway.<br />
He succumbs shortly after even as he tries to tell the police who his abductors were.<br />
June-July 2003: Lethem businessman Mohamed Khan is kidnapped while heading for Brazil.<br />
A body is later found in a shallow grave in Brazil, but it is still unclear whether the corpse is Khan’s. In the end the family members conclude that Khan is dead.<br />
December, 2007: Shaliza Dataram and her three-year-old daughter are abducted by gunmen from their Ruimzeight, West Coast Demerara home. They are taken to a Pomeroon location but are rescued by police ranks.<br />
A man believed to be a Colombian is killed in the ensuing shootout.<br />
Also last year the son of a CARICOM official was kidnapped from his South Ruimveldt home.<br />
The police almost botched an attempt to capture one of the perpetrators during an exchange of gunfire in Sophia.<br />
The youth was subsequently released after a ransom was paid.</p></blockquote>

There need to be a total cleasings, and the tearing down of those demonic spirit of discord, confusion, idolatry, fear and binding up the those spirit of separation and death that&#039;s roaming around Guyana.

		<description>Yesterday the Police Southern Division announced a break through in the recent spate of burglaries and other crime in the St Phillip and Christ -Church area.

Guess what? Of the 3 persons arrested 2 were guyanese one Adrian singh and a mr de lacruz.The other was a 17 year old from st Phillip.

When David from BU introduced this topics and others raised concern here and the other related topics about the level of crime and other illegal activity by guyanese here in Barbados - there were persons who tried strenously to protest - suggesting instead that we should maintain the staus quo - and allow these large number of guyanese to remain.

Today the fact bears out the concern of those that were expressed by some.

Yet this news came as no surprise because a quick glance of the newspaper over the last 2 years showed the evidence of this criminal activity largely by guyanese.

I am watching to see what Prime Minister David Thompson will do.

More importantly however,the fact that guyanese were able to get bajans to buy stolen laptops from them off the streets of Bridgetown - tell us the extent to which barbadians have lost their sense of pride in their country,their sense of loyalty to country and the level to which this country has fallen.

This is played out every day across this island,where bajans knowingly hire illegal guyanese to work on their houses,to clean their homes and to prostitute for them.

Bajans are still renting out their rooms to illegal guyanese,even renting out their pig pens.

Immigration officers are stilling allowing guyanese women into this country in exchange for sex and money.

Guyanese will not be able to remain in this country if barbadians don&#039;t rent them their houses,allow their children to get into our schools even though they are here illegally,or allow them to come here just to have babies who can get bajan citizenship.

We bajans are our worse enemies and will severely pay for our actions -ONE DAY COMING SOON.</description>

		<description>It is appalling to see that people here in the 21st century are undoing the very fabric of society with small minded racism. Many people have fought long and hard to put an end to what you are encouraging.

It is disturbing to read posts by the likes of Bimbro who has the gall to make statements such as &quot;TYPICAL, INDIAN BEHAVIOUR&quot; and &quot;WORRYING BOUT MY ‘OWN’ PEOPLE&quot; You want better for one race, yet you make assumptions about another? You still think in terms of who is &quot;your&quot; people and who is not, instead of what is good for ALL people regardless of race?

Carry on my friend. I hope your attitude is not indicative of your fellow countrymen because if it is, Barbados and other nations that think in similar fashion will be stuck as second class pits for a very long time to come. I know I for one will have second thoughts about visiting or investing my money in your land.

Disgusting!</description>

		<description>Dear Me,

I have too been shocked at the hatred and racism. I too find it deeply unchristian, from people who claim to be christians and odd given that the real power and ownership in Barbados has been unchanged for too long. 

However, what I have also noticed is that there are actually only a few progenitors of this racist crap, they seem like more but it is because they act like bullies. I am beginning to realise also that a few of these do not live in Barbados. 

It is important however, to avoid the Barbados name being soiled, to avoid the development of disharmony where there is harmony, that people like you object to racism wherever we see it and from whichever direction.</description>

		<description>There is alot of hate in barbados coming from intelligent people who should know better especially since they also profess to be christian!

No one has taken Sir Roy Trotman to task for the comment he made recently about Barbadian of indian descent ( Indo Barbadians or what have u but Bajans nonetheless)  where he implied that they were not from here!  He ought to be ashamed!</description>
