    “An African-American man in South Carolina has lineage tracing back 338,000 years, according to new Study. The Unidentified Man’s Y chromosomes- a hereditary factor determining Male Gender- has a History so Old that it Predates the age of the Oldest known hโ€ขโ€ขosapians fossils, according to the report published in American Journal of Human Genetics. “The ‘Only’ blood type dating back this far is ‘O’ Blood Type. As ‘A’ didn’t develope until 20,000 years ago, ‘B’ Blood developed approximately 13,000 years ago and ‘AB’ Blood developed approximately 2,000 years ago.

  2. In all fairness to Trump the Racist and Pussy Grabber we cannot so much dislike the man that we say that his building of a wall to keep illegals out is bad.

    Seriously.

    Look how the Bajan Immigration treating the non Bajans read jamaicans and Grenadians.

    Not the Guyanese cause somebody tell Humpty Dumpty dat the DPP is a Guyanese dat does let goe murderers and effing he or he colleagues stupid enough to feel dem up like dem feel up Myrie an exposure of the informal Citizen by Investment programme that the Immigration department has been running for 20 someting years will bring all dem apartment building to a halt.

    Bajans, with all this talk bout trunk and how he is “keeping out the poor and the vulnerable” is bear pup.

    We are no different to Trunk and while we cant stop the fellers from coming to barbados on the catamarangs that are docking in Carlisle harbour and putting several thousands of $$ in the pockets of de white entrepreneurial class, our xenophobia does inspire us to feel up de women pokies and strip dem naked and mek dem cough.

    And yes, while de white man has killed the native american and encouraged the wars that abound in the inner cities, protecting one’s borders is a sovereign right.

    Of course no one has said how he is going to seal up all the tunnels…

    ‘Sense’ has nothing to do with it. The ideology of the two are so different, compounded by an obvious ‘my way or the highway’ approach of Chump and Co, that friction is inevitable.

    Sad really, Pence and Paul Ryan sitting in the back of the pickup truck yelling along with the nonsense.


  7. @Crusoe

    You know that your argument challenges the view that there is a powerful group in the shadows that control and the president is the figurehead (puppet).

    Remember SARS…ya could not get me to leave NYC no matter how many terrorists were roaming or how many rolling blackouts occurred, to go into Canada for nutting.


  9. Chad9999

    You’re mistaking because Sir Athur Lewis after graduating the London School of Economics, was offered a professorship at Stanford University where he taught for many years, and after that Lewis was instrumental in offered his knowledge to help the new formed Ghana on the requested of the Ghanaian government.

    We ain’t paying for no stinking wall, let the stupid American taxpayers pay for it…lol

  11. Dompey

    Not sure what you’re saying I’m wrong about.

    Incidentally, outside the West Indies Arthur Lewis held two professorships — one at Manchester in the UK, the other at Princeton in the US.

    He never taught at Stanford


  12. “I’m going to build a great, great wall”

    “Who’s going to pay for the wall?”

    MEXICO.

    Note, WW&C, the Mexican President did not show up at the Latin American and Caribbean Summit yesterday because he was afraid of being drawn into comments that would offend The Donald ahead of the NAFTA Summit next week. Mexico is trembling with fear. Most of their exports go the US.

    Meanwhile Feminist Theresa May is rushing to Washington to pay tribute to the Big Man.


  13. Yes WW i remember sars I was on the front lines, I see no difference from protecting your country from disease whether biological,economical, or terrorism. What amazes me is every other house in barbados has a wall around it some with broken glass or wire at the top So trump just thinks on a big scale. There is a silver lining once all the illegal aliens are removed there will be space for people coming in the right way barbadians if they are interested should be applying ,the entry process will be sped up. Dritain is trying to forge a stronger alliance this week and cut out EU , barbados better det in there,


  14. @David,

    How so? The big man would just be channeling the views and interests of the power group. He may have been chosen because he can be controlled. The others are holding on to the coat tails for the ride.

    Point being, such a power group very likely would have interests quite different from the mainstream Republicans.

    Hence the front man Chump.

    That has been my view all along, check my previous posts prior to election.

    The Chump backers desired a drastic shift in policy, needed to change the status quo in domestic and in foreign policy.

    The mainstream Reps would not cut it.

    Right now, their support is one if necessity rather than desire.

    Lawson….one problem….that house dont belong to Trump, it blongs to Native Americans, they are all pretenders, there is not much for the US to offer anymore, who wants to deal with a bunch of lazy arrogant racists every day, trust me, it is not shaping up how they or you thought.

    People would be much better off staying in their own countries or islands and pressure their own governments to make their own countries great instead of going to build up and make US, UK Canada or anywhere else greater amd wealthier than their own country and themselves..

    That boat sailed decades ago Lawson.

    Chadsterthetrumppimp…..Mexico is not paying for that wall, before or after it’s built, your tax dollars and that of US citizens and immogrants will pay fot that wall, you supported it and you will work and pay for it.

    Since the American taxpayers are paying for the Wall one could presume he means New MEXICO


  18. @Bernard,

    Unfortunately I do not have the faith in humans (I refuse to grant the term human’kind’ credit).

    Where I disagree with you is that this is a mere cycle. I think that this and Brexit are both by design, with the aim of changing the status quo.

    Affairs may have become too socialist and regulated by large groups, in the minds of a few.

    Hence the driven change. I do not see it as easily reversible. I see it as the beginning of a new paradigm.

    No doubt that this and Brexit is going to take the stuffing out of the EU, unless tge remaining large countries in that body trim the chaff (non performing nations), consolidate and tighten up their own immigration rules.

    I think such will happen, sooner than later.

    A new paradigm.

  20. WW,
    Lil Justin asks that U define that big word—vigilant. Thanks and lol!

    People here are now waking up and beating him silly! Even mature ladies that voted for him because of looks are fed up!


  21. Chad, Lawson,MB et al.
    The Native American, the original inhabitants of the country known as the U.S.A., learned, to their detriment, that the words of the white uninvited (illegal), “immigrants,could not be trusted. They learned that the white man “spoke with a forked tongue”, and signed treaties, with false promises, that he never intended to honour, and that he repudiated to suit his purposes, regardless to what HAD BEEN AGREED. THEY LEARNED THAT HE WAS DUPLICITOUS, that he trampled upon the rights of anyone who stood in his way, and as Trump ( and Reagan, And so many other presidents, whose policy was to “put America First). Others do not matter. for a short time the world thought that they had been “converted; that they had come to a Christian understanding”. They elected a Black man who brought CLASS and dignity, to the job and showed what we could do.
    It is no surprise therefore that Trump won the election; he is just reverting to the base principles of the White America. For better; highly unlikely, or worse, highly probable, they, and the world, have him for the next four years We shall see what we shall see.
    If the Mexicans cross the border, they are only returning to their homeland which the White Americans Annexed, and fought over, when the inhabitants (mexicans) objected to their desires for expansion. Why do I always revert to “lecturing”, I am sure you know the history as written by the same white man. Trump will get his comeuppance. As Well Well is won’t to say: Karma.
    Chad, you wrote: “…Perhaps you noticed the American South, where the black slaves made their biggest contributions, is the poorest part of America.”
    Think Jim Crow, prejudice, discrimination, etc. think lack of opportunity and societal disadvantages.
    Also remember that some of the poorest whites also come from those areas; North and South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, etc.Go and see the movie Hidden Figures. Actually everyone on BU should go and see it. It is a boss, and one that should open the eyes of young people.
    Sir Arthur Lewis also won the Nobel Prize for Economics. Brains will develop wherever you are. America depended on Black women to “verify the conclusions of the IBM computers, for the trajectories etc of the rockets. Werner Von Braun, one of Hitler’s leading rocket scientists waS RECRUITED TO DEVELOP ROCKETS FOR THE U.S. NABY OF THE NOBEL PRIZES FOR SCIENTISTS WORKING AT U.S. UNIvERSITIES, are not native born and educated americans. St. Lucia have every right for claiming Sir Arthur Lewis. Until the University of the West Indies was established as a separate entity, it was one of the colleges of the University of London. Until it was established, there were no universities or opportunity for higher study available any part of the West Indies. But we, including Barbados, has produced Nobel Laureates.


  22. Alvin,
    All over the Globe there are people who have been displaced by foreign hoards, historically. That is a lesson to everyone, it says that Nations have to be prepared to defend themselves and Border Security is essential. This is not some Whitey only factor. Have you asked XI why he is building a base on the Spratly Islands that is centred between The Phillipines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. China is not even close . The Phillipines are 150 miles away and southern China 600 miles. Focus pun dat.

    It is sad about Mexico etc but besides the practical lesson it is not going to have some guilt complex whereby the US turns over half their lands to offended parties.

    This is not about Trump. The populations of the West are fed up with weak leaders who are ruining their Nations. Be warned that France could go to Le Pen who is far right. Italy will soon Italexit, Netherlands going, others looking closely at the doorway. Massive change is coming especially to ISIS, who will and must be crushed like all vermin that require eradication.


  23. Alvin Cummins says

    “If the Mexicans cross the border (with the United States), they are returning to their homeland.”

    Has Alvin been to Mexico?

    Mexico has a population of over 120 million people. About 30% of this population is American Indian. Some of these are people who might plausibly claim ancestral rights in territory belonging to the United States. But not many, because a lot of these Indians have always lived in southern Mexico, not close to the States.

    Mexico is dominated politically and economically by “whites” descended from Europeans. These whites are 10% of the total Mexican population. Do these white Mexicans have a right to immigrate illegally to American Indian “homelands” in the United States?

    The majority of Mexicans (about 60%) are mixed white/Indian stock (mestizos), most of whom have adopted European cultural habits. Why are Europeanized Spanish-speaking Mexican mestizos entitled to “resettle” American Indian ancestral homelands in the United States?. After all, they are contaminated by white blood, and it is their white ancestors who murdered the original American Indians, stole their land and destroyed their culture.

    Have you heard the expression, “Thief from thief make God laugh”??


  24. The madman Trump says that the 25billion dollars of remittance that Mexicans send home would be used to pay for the wall.
    Mexican president response to Trump F u not paying for any wall and not coming to schedule plan meeting to discuss any thing
    In least than five days Trump has created an enemy for america.


  25. AC

    Trump is building the wall and Mexico will pay for it.
    80% of Mexico’s exports go to the US. Mexico cannot afford to be an enemy of the US. They will fall in line for now.


  26. Hell no they will not. China would gladly accept a trade deal from Mexico
    Furthermore Trump bombas actions will create friction with many of americas friends.
    If he continues in that direction Trump woyld be impeached and his executive orders would mean nothing.
    Most world opinions views have already stated that much no one wants to work with a madman


  27. Chad, Check your facts. re ethnicity of Mexicans. Stop being bigoted like MB.
    MB. “…The populations of the West are fed up with weak leaders who are ruining their Nations.

    Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, were all STRONG leaders. Do you want to revert to them? I am not of the opinion that Trump is a strong leader. I would say,instead, that Trump is a weak leader. He is one dimensional in his thinking and has followed the lead of the bigots, the segregationists, the raCISTS, and all those who got on the band wagon of these people. Many of them are now finding out that their leaDER DOES NOT GENERate his ideas used on thought and an understanding of the world. He is a throwback to the times when the U.S. brandished a big stick and bullied people. them days done. He now has to learn that. See the President of Mexico is pushing back? Trump will learn.

    Well said, Chaddie ma boy!

    You do know your post-Columbus history of the Americas. Huitzilopochtli should let his face shine upon you and protect you from Hernรกn Cortรฉs that marauding butcher from Espaรฑa.

    But you ought to know it was not the horse or musket that decimated the numerically superior and more militarily equipped indigenous peoples but the devastating diseases introduced by the white โ€˜Christiansโ€™including the plague and syphilis.

    A lesson well taught, even if not understood by that sycophantic jackass and political humbug called Alvin. Now to whom do California and Texas rally belong? Gringo or Sancho? Only Zorro knows for sure.

    While you are south of the ‘European’ dominated border just remember the enslavement of the Africans was not meant to enrich the South but to provide profits to invest in the young industrializing North.

    Same thing prevailed in the Caribbean. What do you think financially fuelled the industrial revolution in Britain?

    Jamaica and Barbados were key financing cogs in Britainโ€™s industrial wheel with the compensation paid out to the slave owners acting as fertile seed capital right across the green and pleasant land of โ€˜darkโ€™ satanic mills.


  29. Alvin,
    Bigot? If I did not consider the opinions of others I would not know where they are wrong.
    U have a tendency to follow so called Liberals regardless of how useless they are eg DLP proven failures.
    I never wrote about strong leaders just that Western leaders have been far too weak. When have U ever written about your favourite Leftist being wrong? Are U that Bigoted?

    The Western World has been weak on Syrian migration, US Border Security, playing girlie games with ISIS, migration across the Med, social assistance programs that encourage people to become LazyAsses instead of insisting on developing more productive humans, China’s actions in the Asean region and much more. Too far East is West the time has come to change the BS. Not my opinion, it is happening right before our eyes.

  31. One quality Trump has already demonstrated is that the platform message that got him elected is NOT rhetoric.


  32. Mexico will pay for the wall, wait and see, they havent felt any pain yet it will come


  33. millertheanunnaki

    If you were studying economic history at a UK or US university, you probably could not get away with the claim that the profits of Caribbean slavery were the main source of finance for the UK Industrial Revolution.

    That idea is completely rejected by leading economic historians.

    If you want to check the prevailing wisdom for free on the Internet, you might start with C.K. Harley, “Slavery, the British Atlantic Economy and the Industrial Revolution.”

    Harley is a professor at Oxford University.


  34. The White House has announced that a Border Tax will be part of a forthcoming tax reform package.

    The Border Tax will be charged on all imports (including Mexican imports) and will raise enough one from Mexico alone to pay for the Great Wall.

    Go Trump!


  35. The consensus in economic history is that profits of slavery provided surplus that kick started the industrial revolution.
    Read the late us Maddison, the great economic historian, and Thomas Piketty, Capital in the 21 Century.
    Some us are trying to re-invent the wheel by going Google and mis-interpreting the basic information.
    The good thing about class room education is the cross fertilisation of idea, reading alternative views and, most of all, having the nuances explained to us. Then writing an essay to show one’s understanding.
    It is easy to tell the intellectual frauds in this forum.


  36. There will be nothing great about any wall.

    If the tax is charged on imports, the American importers will pass the cost of the tax on to American consumers, so the same idiotic people (deplorables as Hillary Clinton called them lolll!!!) who voted for Trump will bear the cost of the wall.


  37. If you vote like an ass, then expect to get ridden like a donkey.


  38. Angus Maddison


  39. So chad why did the Mexican President cancel next week’s visit with Trump?


  40. Simple simon, glad to see Fumble riding you. Appropriate like your first name.

    After years of leftist socialist misinformation along comes a reset button. When was the last time anyone can remember that an elected politician started work with so much vigor. You may hate his policies and politics, but I have a feeling this is going to be great for the US.

    Quit whining, give the man a chance and come back in 6 months. This is a new ball game, and if the rules seem rough, go sell konkies or nuts in the bus stand.

Maybe as someone said prices may go up in the states but what is getting your country back worth. You should be more worried if lots of jobs are created and america does well your currency will go up against the pound or loonie and the only people able to afford to go to barbados are already eyeballing cuba.

    Most houses in Barbados have no walls. Some have “galvanized” palings and some have wire fences both of which designed to keep children and pets IN.

    Cheeze on bread man!!! You don’t have to tell lies for Trump.

    Trump is quite capable of telling his own lies.


  49. Hal Austin

    kick-starting the Industrial Revolution is not the same as providing most of the financing for the Industrial Revolution.

    I have not read the section of Thomas Picketty’s “Capital” that you claim supports the kick-start hypothesis, and I don’t know if you are lying, but many factors kick-started the UK Industrial Revolution.

    Read what I have written. Then read Picketty and Madison and give the page references that contradict WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN..
