I don’t normally write on blogs but after reading some of these comments I had to intervene because I feel the same way!!!
I am a young Trini man and I can tell you that you should get rid of those Indo-Guyanese and Indo-Trinis before they try to dominate your country! They work in stages and it must be said they don’t and never will like black people. Bajans you must understand this so don’t be fooled by their smiles and stuff…that’s how it started in TNT all throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, they smiled and befriended black Trinis because we had control of the economy and government and then after the UNC was given two seats by the NAR (because of ANR Robinson’s hatred for the PNM) they got power and that’s when TNT went into racial tensions…for the first time the rest of the population saw their true colours they would call black people niggers almost constantly, saying is “we time now!” and stuff like that the population was really shocked that they were so racists after all they were so nice and cool before 1995…but after reading books about race relations and politics in TNT I discovered that Indo-Caribbean people hate black people and are very resentful of us because our culture dominates…calypso, steelband, music etc and they always felt slighted they call the “fear of creolization (aka becoming assimilated into black culture) So they smiled and laughed with us until they established themselves.
Then they started the cleansing process, Panday fired Manning’s wife who had a high post job in the government I think…they put themselves in the important areas to gain control of the economy….this is a warning to you Barbados if you see them doing this be very very afraid and get them out!! They fired all the blacks in areas of health, medicine, education, business and law and placed their own kind….and over the years the Indians would employ only Indians and not blacks…I remembered they even took black children off the list for colleges in common entrance and put their own it was horrible! and it was easy for them just look at the surnames if its Indian leave it if not delete…health they made sure the heads were Indians so that the newly graduated blacks would be denied from getting jobs and passing exams to start practicing..same thing occurred in law…and the worse was education UWI became completed Indian dominated and lecturers would boldly discriminate against blacks however thanks to the current PNM tertiary education for all now there are a sizeable amount of blacks and other black students from the Caribbean.
I could tell you from personal experience the Indo-Trini lecturers are horrified that their are now some many black students in their law, business and medical classes you can see the hate on their faces I even had a racist lecturer who wouldn’t even hide it!! They are now trying to deny us by giving us bad grades and giving help to their own secretly!
They changed a holiday for all races from Arrival Day to Indian Arrival Day thanks to Panday…they wanted most of govt funding to be sent to build infrastructure in Indian rural areas only and the list goes on!! That’s why black and mix people were relieved that they were ousted from power Panday even wanted to put more Indians on the police and army forces because it had too many blacks…that made headlines! I read a lot of old papers and political books about race relations because I did assignments and my thesis on it as well!
I had Indian friends at school and I always tried to see the good in them and would tell other people do not judge them but when I caught my friend talking about niggers and making jokes about black people and even certain comments about us from his parents I realized black people have to stand up to this shit!! We always look for the good in others but the others look down on us so Barbados fight for your country and get them out…they want to buy your land and before you know it they will take over and discriminate against us!!
When they do it its called preserving their culture and identity but when blacks stand up against it its labelled racism! I think what shocked the Indo-Caribbean people about the Bajans stand against their influx is that for the first time black people are saying no and in mass voices!! They are accustomed to us sitting back and letting things happen.
