The Scout // March 12, 2009 at 4:33 pm

Just came in from classes…… tired is hell.

Scout I sincerely apologise! I mean it too I wrote from my heart. I normally dont be like that …………

Apologies people for lack of response. I’ve been very busy moving house. I did take some time to read your responses and all I have to say is…that’s the spirit!!! Lol. What was that? You nearly had a what? a ‘kanniption’?? J What I think you meant to say was ‘conniption’. A little advice, if you’re going to throw what we call in the UK ‘a wobbly’, or ‘conniption’, come prepared and consult a dictionary beforehand. I think I might have mentioned this already in an earlier post. Apart from that, I’m impressed. One of you actually had something constructive to say! It had passion, tension, intrigue… ok maybe not intrigue but minus all the swearing…I kinda liked it. But you have the wrong impression of me JC.

First of all, in no way would I even dare to suggest that we should give up the remainder of what control we have left to outsiders. I am still at al loss as to how you came to that conclusion. You have mis-interpreted what I said. I would only be a fool to suggest something like that. My intention was not to try and talk down to you or anyone or to belittle anybody (although some of the people leaving the sorts of comments on this site, you can’t help but talk down to some if they put themselves down there in the first place!). Those people need re-educating it seems.

But that was some real passion! I don’t think I’ve seen so much cursing in a one blog, but I don’t disagree with what you’re saying. I only wish to remind those who leave abusive remarks to keep them to themselves and to add something constructive to try and rectify a significant problem rather than resort to primitive name-calling. We are better than that aren’t we?

As for the so-called ‘Great’ Britain …. I always failed to realise what was so great about it. It doesn’t surprise me that the english would stick the word ‘great’ before its countryname. It’s almost like calling your daughters Faith and Charity. You’d hope that they’d be ‘faithful’ and ‘charitable’ in nature but in fact what you’d end up with is an unfaithful and promiscuous daughter and her greedy younger sister, respectively lol. Ok ok, I’m poking fun 🙂 I think it’s played down nowadays and this place is often referred to as the ‘United Kingdom’. Still has an air arrogance about it though I feel. Yes the UK had an empire once upon a time, as did other nations but like all empires they are destined to crumble. It’s history is filled with atrocity, I see no ‘greatness’ in it, just a heap load of misery, mostly directed at other people in other countries. I’m sure Guyana is no angel either.

We are all equal, despite those who might try to impress upon you otherwise. For decades black people have been made to feel inferior in some way or another. It’s a sad fact but many of us still feel that way in this day and age! Terms like British Black sound ridiculous to me. I don’t know what it means. I was born in the UK yes, but I am black and African, (with some white and Spanish thrown in as well!) At least African Americans reference their African origins. But strange that a Jew, even if he happens to be born in any other country other than Israel, he still calls himself a Jew. Not a British-Jew or American-Jew, just plain – Jew. Even ‘Caribbean’ or ‘West Indian’ does not apply to us. But I don’t want to go off-topic here.

I don’t know where you get the impression that I ‘want to lick their asses’ as you put it. I know I’ve had to kick a few in my time, especially in my more youthful days.

Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, etc are ALL heroes of mine too. Not sure about Bob Marley or Peter Tosh, great music artists yes, but obviously not in the same league as King or X. Goes without saying really. I respected Mr King’s cause hugely as it was much like Gandhi’s approach in that a solution to a problem can always be reached peacefully. Saying that I also respect the great Malcolm X for what he did and what he tried to accomplish. Their efforts helped pave the way for many of us. They were great leaders.

I loathe people who make silly assumptions and who jump to conclusions! Surely you could see the errors in what many people have said here. The C-R-A-P that my parents had to endure when they arrived in the UK, the signs on windows that read ‘No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish’? which you clearly stated, I know all about that too. I know where you’re coming from. I think it’s just a case of us getting off on the wrong foot so to speak.
I was starting to think that all the knowledgeable people had stopped commenting leaving the stragglers to vent their spleen at the ‘invaders’. But amongst their verbal abuse I could hear their frustrations only too loud and clear. Just wish they would do it without sinking to a nasty low. But if we were all the same I guess the world would be a boring place wouldn’t it? Please don’t believe for a second that I am a man who does not cuss or swear. Heaven forbid! Lol. I can cuss just as much as the next man, or woman! The difference is I don’t need to curse to get my point across. If I come across as condescending then…. just deal with it! I’m sure there’s someone a lot worse than me.

I appreciate that was all written from the heart. So no apology necessary JC. We are here to share our views. I know I angered you but it was not my goal to irritate or frustrate. Apologies to anyone I may have offended but I also give as good as I get, just like yourself JC.

Fat Pork, sorry but I just don’t understand what the hell you’re saying half the time. I know that our ancestors had their own native language beaten out of them and were forced to speak English, so we the descendants know English too as a result. So, at least speak it correct so I can figure out what you’re talking about 🙂

@ Mauby Man I have already apologised for my abuse and maybe I was out of place ……

I really did mean kaniption it is my own bajan word that I have created please remember that when the Low Germans came to England raiding and finally conquoring the United Kingdom in the 5th Century, only a few original words remained that truly belonged to the Britons such as basket and pool. LOL

So therefore I think I can create my own words as well that is how the world is ……… nothing stays the same.

I have watched and read about the life of Peter Tosh and believe me he was a STEPPING RAZOR. Fah real, you need to know some of the Caribbean heroes mauby man ha ha lol. (I have a feeling you wont agree). I have a feeling that you loooove to offend, is that how you live? Do you take pleasure in seeing others squirm lol I think you do Mr. Devils Advocate LOL!

…hmmm. Lots of emotions here. Am I responsible for being born where I was born? Do each of us chose which country we would like to be born in? Can I be blamed for being a Guyanese? I guess that I also fit into the category of people that you are all referring to. Dear God, please help me to love all people regardless of their race, creed, ethnicity or nationality. Help me please. I feel so sick after reading these blogs.

Optimist,for most it doesn’t have anything really to do with WHERE you’re born,but why most from a particular country choose to reside in ONE country ILLEGALLY.

To make matters worse certain caricom nationals also advocate like Barbados is theirs,even their Government representatives play a huge role in this while jobs in Barbados now go predominately to certain caricom nationals while the average Barbados citizen can barely make ends meet.I fully expect wages/salaries in Barbados to decline over this year due to the contracting of the Barbados economy.

Do you understand why there is resentment now ?I’m sure there are other ways a person to vent their frustration,but in times like these that would be extremely difficult.

I know most who come to Barbados will try to do so legally but should at anytime they choose to illegally reside in the country at any time they should be deported,period.There can be absolutely NO excuses for anyone who is irresponsible enough to not follow the rules & laws of the country they immigrate to.What makes it worse is that I’ve also read reports lately that Barbados is being used mainly as a staging ground to move on to other countries which makes this problem MUCH worse as this now burdens the island’s reputation abroad & could affect business in many sectors making it worse for locals.

Jay, I do not support illegals being in any country. What I abhor, is the blatant defamation of all Guyanese, those in Guyana, those who reside legally in Barbados and legally in the rest of the world and contribute to its development. I do not agree that all Guyanese indulge in immorale behaviours. there are still decent minded Guyanese in this world.

@Optimist

I think you should also read this article concerning what is going on in Guyana on a technical basis.This maybe the very reason why Bajans would like to restrict Guyanese of all forms because they do not want to see the same thing to happen in Barbados.

http://www.kaieteurnews.com/2009/03/18/the-%e2%80%9ccriminalized-state%e2%80%9d-and-the-%e2%80%9cincestuous-state%e2%80%9d-in-guyana/

“This is a sociological fact. This economic deformity has no parallel in the English-speaking Caribbean. It is a pathological descent into the worst kind of degenerate politics that is found only in banana republics. It is the most horrible manifestations of failed post-colonial territories.
But Peeping Tom was unable to detect the parallel existence of “the criminalised state” with the “incestuous state.” We are talking about a hydra-headed degeneracy. Governmental facilitators have allowed and processed the wealth accumulation of their incestuous links (in this context, the scope for ethnic trouble is really scary but more on that later).
But these governmental facilitators have corrupted “the state” through the labyrinth of drug connection, money laundering and the underground economy. Included in the underground economy are ‘friends” of the governmental oligarchs who are engaged in smuggling from fuel to beer to canned foods.
Joseph O’Lall had to die of a massive heart attack. It was inevitable. One is amazed that he didn’t die the same day he was instantaneously dismissed from his job. He told me that he believed that his zeal in tracking down and arresting people who were engaged in smuggling led to his downfall.
But listen to what he relayed to me when I put a realpolitik question to him as I interviewed him in his home weeks before his heart attack killed him off. I said, “But why invoke the wrath of powerful people in ‘the government’ by going after their friends?”
O’Lall was the kind of person that in common parlance we say is “wild.” He looked at me with fire in his eyes and said; “I don’t care whose friends they are, I doing a job, comrade.”
I fired back: “But look what happened to you.” His response was, “I coming back comrade.” He went back to where we all come from –dust.”

Sometimes I wonder if this why the retired Chief immigration officer Kenrick Hutson in Barbados died……

We don’t want B/dos to become another Guyana, hence the intolerance of such an influx. Let the other C/bean Heads deal with Guyana and come to some sort of resolution. Migrating in their thousands on my 166sq.mls will not solve their problems but rather create some here. That is like a man getting pissing drunk to drown his sorrow. What he is actually doing, is creating another one. Something needs to be done for or with Guyana and fast to stop them from fleeing their country in such numbers. You got any solutions?
stuupseeeeeeeeeeee.
