Back and forth between guyana and Bim is an established practice but idt does not mean that we should our country to be undermined by guyana

It’s not racism because Barbadians dont think they’re superior by dint of race.
But there’s a real fear/phobia of a large influx of a particular ethnic group with whom the country has never had a history. And based on the news coming out of Guyana and Trinidad on the race politics and racial tensions between blacks and indians, Barbadians are fearful that the same could happen in a country that has been relatively stable since the 1950s. That’s all. If anything, it borders on xenophobia (fear of foreigners). And that is quite legitimate.
What you will hope for is that an educated and enlightened people will address the issues openly and honestly and come up with solutions that are grounded in respect for human rights.
You cant espouse christian values and morality today and then show disdain for indians tomorrow. It’s a contradiction.

Particularly Hindus seem to be not tolerated am I correct?

The funny thing is many of the writers here seem to get upset when described as racists or Xenophobes but the reality of it with the level of discussion it makes it really difficult for me to understand how it is not racist?

Mandela embraced Indians in South Africa, The Kenyan’s definitely have a huge Indian Population that are celebrated and in Mauritius and even in Fiji there are many black leaders that actually defend the right of Indian immigrants within their borders.

Strange that Barbados’ black population doesn’t want more diversity within their ranks.

Please help me understand.

This is why her mother was able to come back here and settle and eventually marry rhianna’s father – a bajan.

Barbados was known on the international scene before rhianna and will be continued to be known long after rhianna.

5 shootings occurred last night.
Sounds like the choke and rob type you hear about in georgetown.

Didn’t you tell us scout a lot of this would happen over the period of the crop over festival?

Post your above post @7:31 a.m. under the new article David has just put up.

It needs to be read there too.

Now that the governor of the central bank said that unemployment has gone up and is going to increase evn more;

Now that the governor has said that construction has declined and the economy is contracting;

Can someone tell me what are we going to do with all these guyanese legal and illegal who came here as they say to work – what are we going to do with them?

No doubt some bajans are going to become unemployed,but if we listen to the bleeding hearts are they saying that these guyanese should be allowed to stay in barbados and push bajans out of their jobs by the guyanese accepting low wages?

Must bajan families be allowed to suffer and go on welfare while guyanese enjoy the fat of the land?

These are the facts that are before us as provided by the govenor of the central bank – no one should now come asking their 14 dumb-ass questions – to prove what I really don’t know.

However, like you, I know how serious this thing has become. That is why i keep on plodding on!

I wont give up!

Barbados is fighting for its life at the moment – but a lot cannot be said publicly.

I can only say in conclusion that it appears that even though owen arthur knew what he was doing with the guyanese was going to sink barbados down the road – he was not concerned about the future of the average bajan.

All those BLP yardfowls and rejects that try to derail this discussion and feel real ‘big’ pushing this open door – open border policy – well your stupidity and political blindness if allowed will destroy our country as we know it- and there will be little for you to feel so smug about.

People this issue is more than appears to the eye.

Bold and courageous political leadership is needed – because vested interests are pushing back and pushing back strong.

David/BU keep doing what you do – it is a sacrifice for your country that must be made.

Bloggers help the police and those loyal,patriotic immigration officer to carry out their duty,provide information as you get it – and most importantly talk to your DLP politicians as often as you can.
