No Thanks Jeremy Clarkson

Local authorities including the media remain  understandably silent about the the racist comment uttered by Top Gear Host Jeremy Clarkson. He was recorded muttering the nursery rhyme ‘’eeny, meeny, miny moe catch a nigger by he toe’.  After  vigorously denying he used the nigger word lo and behold he was persuaded to publish an apology. The reason for the silence in Little England is explained by tourism officials expecting great things having contracted to host the Top Gear Festival in Barbados on May 17 and 18. Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton of Grenadian parentage is billed to participate. No way the Barbados government wants the festival to be cancelled.

One of many reports in the UK media suggest Jeremy Clarkson is feeling the heat amid calls for the BBC to fire him. Clarkson must feel unlucky at the timing of his indiscretion which collides with that of Donald Sterling’s racist comment.

There is the saying if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. Barbados is a predominantly Black country and the Barbados government must know it cannot ignore this matter. Barbadians are known to be very forgiving of their politicians but in this case the world is watching.   Surely we deserve a response from our elected government? Does the government of Barbados a Black country believe this is mock sport? Barbadians continue to pontificate about Donald Sterling in the USA but appear to be giving Clarkson a pass just as he is about to pack his bags to travel to Barbados for the Top Gear Festival? Is this the kind of publicity we want to generate?

BU holds the firm view Jeremy Clarkson should NOT take the flight out to Barbados in a couple of weeks. There is a price he must pay for his indiscretion. His contrived apology is not enough to remove the insult to Blacks and sensible human beings everywhere. If Barbados – a 90 plus percent Black country – were to welcome Jeremy Clarkson to Barbados it would be a compromise to self which our Black forefathers should rightfully not forgive us.

    Yes of course light fires. Become pyros. I have no problem with that. It’s why I would have marched and would now stick up two bananas to the world but, and this is the point for me, I would not discriminate between the colour of the noses I would stick them up – and not least on the principle that all shit is the SAME colour.

    Now you talk about eugenics. What you refer to in fact is shipping off rogues and vagabonds as defined in the various vagrancy-type statutes post 1600.

    On ‘white trash’ – from everything that’s been said it’s clear the phrase doesn’t have one meaning only; rather it’s an expression, like all our concepts, that’s been used in a variety of contexts and senses. And to that extent, at the least, the discussion has been useful, interesting and informative don’t you think?

    Dompey

    Yours last remark to Lawson was unnecessary and missed the point anyway. As for the “collective conscience” – I’m not sure I know what that entails and how you establish it exists.. It’s a nice phrase and you can see it at work, I suppose, in the UK Race Relations Act. But I suspect that in reality most people are too busy trying to live well, do their incompetent best and pay the mortgage, with a vague hope that ‘everything will be OK’. In short – the Anglican at prayer.

    I heard on the evening news on VOB that there is some concern that Bajans may boycott Clarkson’s event. The so called organizers are in contact with the management of the show.

    We all know that if the BLack Bajans boycott the show that up at Bushy Park shall be lily white with the playing white gang and the expat crowd. Clarkson is coming if it is over the dead bodies of our economic masters.

    Find the Welsh hymn ‘Calon Lan’. There it refers to the ‘lily white’ heart in the sense of ‘having a pure heart, an honest heart, a heart that’s true’. The lily is also the flower which is associated with the Blessed Virgin. So be careful (lol)

    Perhaps, I overreacted bit with respect to the last comment but you ought know that the issue of racism is an emotional one. In any event, it is funny how some people try to justify the historical injustice committed by others. But I read, lived and understand what the people of African descent have been through in this country. Ross, a few weeks ago a fellow Barbadian told me that he was walking on the streets of New York and when he passed this middle age white woman, she clutched her bag tightly under her arm. The woman had reasoned in her mind that this fellow Barbadian was a criminal based on her sweeping generalization of black people. I can assure that every black man as well as woman had at some point experienced this same thing. This the finally thing I’ll say on the issue of racism: I read sometime ago that the state of North Carolina implemented a law in the 1770’s that prohibited black from entering the state. Ross, have you read Dred Scott vs Stanford as of yet? If you haven’t do so brother.

    Lawson……..Only one senator i am aware of by the name of Fraser, that’s why it’s so mind numbing that in 2014, bajan whites practice racism and are allowed to by a black government, black parliament and not one black minister or senator/MP speaks out against the practice.
    ………………………………………………………………….
    It is a simple matter of He who pays the Piper, calls the tune,and we have seen this paraded so blatantly before our eyes.
    The Sanitation Service Department, failed to maintain its fleet of Tractors, preferring to pay COW Williams millions for the rental of their tractors.
    This Government knocked down part of the LLoyd Erskine Sandiford Centre (Sherbourne) to make way for a car park, preferring to pay Bizzie Williams millions in rental fees for offices at the back of Sky Mall, formerly, Julie N, Haggatt Hall. And the list goes on.
    We Barbadians are still in the plantation mode where we shine Massa’s car like the proverbial Bucky dog stones, while allowing our very own car to drop to bits.
    Or cooking the most sumptuous meals at the great, house, while feasting our own family on a quick rustle up of breadfruit and stew potatoes.
    This inferiority complex is imbedded in the minds of many Barbadians of all walks of life from an early age.

    You are NOT getting it and I’m not getting at you. But since you’re being sensitive let me just say that by referring to ‘Lily white’ you’re saying the opposite – in one interpretation – of what you intend. You intend sarcasm by reference to lily-colour. Fine. I was simply saying that you are, despite your intention, putting ‘purity into your own mouth’ if not in thought – all rather like the nuances of ‘white trash’.

    I think I’ve said more than enough of the issue of racism, so it is only fitting to end on this note: It only when one gets to live for sometime in this country, that he or she understands the true dynamics of relations in America and his or her place as a black person within the wide context of the American society . And as my pastor said last Sunday: ” The KKK no long wear long white sheets anymore …. their wear suits today.”

    Lem…..first of all if most to all blacks decide they are not turning up at Bushy Park and are not spending their money with a racist, which is left to be seen……the program will flop why? there are not enough bajan whites or expats on the island to make the show an economic success, they will have to import people for that……again, they need the majority blacks on the island, don’ care how they feel..

    Ross…….I love trees, plants etc, i consider trees superior to people, why? of course they live longer and we need them more than they need us……if we look at plants we see various colors, varieties, etc…..humans are the only a**holes to attach hate to that type of creativity…….

    With regards England and their flushing of their toilets to Barbados, their own kind, those days were horrible, it was Henry the dirtbag, Cromwell the a**wipe and a whole lot of garbage deciding who should live, who should die, who should be exiled etc…..similar to today, but much more brutal, they passed that crap on from generation to generation so that by the time the 16th century rolled around the Scottish, Irish and Welsh descendants did not stand a chance, they were chased out of England for one thing or another, real or imagined…….the usual lowlifes believing they owned the earth, the countries and all the people within.

    Tell it like it really is Buggy, the black Ministers of the DLP government and black members of the Opposition are still in slave minded plantation mode and encourage the masses to do likewise, they do not even have the balls, nerves, stomach to stand up publicly and speak out against racism practiced on their own people…their only ambition is to align themselves with and act like they can do no better.

    Dompey……you can take this how you want but when i am in North America or Europe and I see a white male, teenager some white females, i grab my handbag a whole lot tighter…….why? fear of being robbed, this little chinese gal in Chin town Toronto was trying her best to pick pocket me one day, this little hispanic chick was also trying to pickpocket me on 45th and Avenue of the Americas in New York City years ago.

Since Mr. Obama election, there has been a litany of racist epithets level at Mr. Obama, as well as members of the black community. The worse I heard thus far, is when this white guy called black folk subhuman.

    I knew a lot of Bajan whites, during my years in Barbados. I know I’ve said this a million times, my mother worked for the: Edgehill, Sergeant and Toppin families, who used to own Toppin Supermarket on Roebuck Street. My mother took me to work with her at the massive home the Toppin’s used owned in Cave hill at the time. Lawson, should know some these white Bajans: Rachel Dean, Barbara Sheloff, Charyl Sergeant who is or used to be a secretary at Brighton Limited and her brother Peter Sergeant who is now dead etc. Ross, the only white I knew in Barbados, used to run the RSPCA in the 1980’s but he was from Scotland..

    Remember now Ross, a lot of Bajan White kept their dog and horse shows at District A Mounted paddock in the 1970’s when I was a kid. I thought these Bajan whites were separatist because the adults hardly spoke to my friend I at the time. But their kids were much friendlier, especially this girl Bajan name Rachel Dean. Her father was one of the richest white men in Barbados during 1970’s.

    He by extension has incorporated the whites fear of rape by a black man who is well hung into his psyche.

    Pity him; he needs a lot of psychological support. And yes, tell him to take his medication!! Yes, I know you have had psychiatric counselling! I have told that he is working on the thesis that ALL Blacks are racists. Poor Robert!!

    I’m sorry you have that view.

    So far as intellectual snobbery is concerned IF I suffer from it I cannot for a moment think it’s any more virulent than many on here. But with the exception of tweedledum and tweedledee, who turn fiction into fact, I certainly don’t go out to try it on.

    How many on here call you an ‘idiot”? How many do you call ‘idiot”? So if it’s a virus it is shared by many.

    Now in your case, I know that you can be as intrepid in your views as any other. That is self-evident from reading your posts. My own view of you is that you are playing a character part and that you have a legal training. Indeed, I would go as far as saying that you’re a BU stooge put there to iiven things up.

    Now: I don’t know whether your goal is the pursuit of prejudice, intolerance, hate, superstition, lies and all the rest. Mine is the pursuit of truth – which is why I absolutely refuse to toe the BU party line because someone says so. Of course that means I tread on toes – but so what?

    As I said somewhere, probably here, what we say on here goes out to the world. I wonder what the world thinks of us reading people like Pacha and now this Pacaha look-alike. YOU are apparently quite content to let him utter hjs death threat. What does that make you? Well, other than a BU stooge? Any reasonable person would be horrified by the filth that came from his mouth. So far as I can make out two people on here were. But whether one, two or a hundred it makes no matter. His stuff is there for all to see.

    Indeed I noticed that despite your views, uttered often enough on gayness, you did not open your mouth to condemn. So then, you are a hypocrite. But then, as I say, though you sometimes utter your own views, for the most part you’re just there to amuse.

    One thing I am sure of is that Bushy Park will be a sea of black faces during the festival. Motor sport fans tend to be fanatical and they all want to see the great one Lewis Hamilton.

    What the “FCUK” are you saying here, ac?
    Are you going to be a part of the ac/dc contingent eagerly welcoming the arrival of J C and his Top Gear team?

    Will you be rubbing shoulders with Richard (not Hammond) Sealy and Little Hitler with a possible guest appearance of Fumble the perfect negro to prove who is in charge and who holds the match to the woodpile?

    Why not be a good Christian country and turn the other cheek just for the equivalent of 30 pieces of silver in today’s money denominated in pound sterling (£)?
    Better be careful here. Lewis Hamilton might just be enticed by the Grenadian Government to visit Sandals Grenada (La Source) and say rather strange things about poor little Bim.

    After all, you would not condemn a girl on Bush Hill for ‘doing it’ to feed her hungry children, would you?

    Here is a possible solution to all of this backlash crap which Hants seems to be enjoying.
    Why not entertain Jeremy Clarkson but on the grounds he pays reparations in the form of cleaning up around the statue of your beloved Bussa and the establishment of the “Ba Ba Black Sheep Jeremy Clarkson” charity for the promotion of diversity and respect among Bajan people which will be funded by his personal income from his Top Gear shows for the next two years.
