Is Chief Town Planner Blocking BLACKman’s Fight for Justice @Clarke’s Road?
One comment posted to the Nation newspaper Online edition (see below) summarizes the plight of Arden Blackman from Clark’s Road, St. James. The story of Arden Blackman has been ventilated on Barbados Underground, Facebook and there was a piece done by Roy Morris before he was fired by the Nation newspaper.
It boggles the mind that a government elected to serve its citizens would allow an ex-pat by the name of Pat Brayshaw to break the law with the potential to cause harm to residents of the blue collar district of Clarke’s Road.
The blogmaster is tempted to include what quickly comes to mind- if this had occurred in Fort George or one of the built up neighbourhoods the member of parliament would have intervened to expedite the matter in 2003/4 when it first surfaced. There was a time a more militant blogmaster would have pulled the race card by asking why a White foreign woman is allowed to brazenly break the law in a majority Black Rh country.
The comment below appears to have been posted to Nation news by Phillip Tudor a senior official at the Ministry of Transport. The time has come to give Mr. Blackman some justice Town Planner Browne, Kerri Symmonds and local authorities. If what is posted is the reason that prevented the closure of this matter, we weep for our country.

The Bajan’s mentality can do no different. When we talk about radical transformation that slavish mindset must be the first to go and we are all affected by it to some extent.
This country has always missed a RADICAL land transformation, thanks to Barrow. And until that is made to be a necessary precondition the Brownes who are still mental slaves will always have the BlackMans begging in this land owned by White people.
This writer knows the Chief Town Planner and we have always seen him as a good public servant, as public servants go. We could say that he has been a friend. However, none of that makes him any less susceptible to the crypto-racism endemic to the Bajan society.
People like this Chief Town Planner would not have the post which he now holds unless axiomatically he knew well that White people in Barbados, their kef and kin from elsewhere, are to be given social preferences especially when it comes to land use policy in Barbados.
Poor Browne, he is only doing, and could only ever do what all those who have held that post before have done so well to make sure that the economy of Barbados is forever in the hands of White people and these lands are forever White controlled.

@ Mr Hal Austin.
Hal,
“A more militant blogmaster” as you are requesting CANNOT EXIST IN BARBADOS.
There are a few things that you have to accept as a given.
Let me give you three examples so that will put this in context.
lord Evil and Anti Islam or the Real DrugLords
Do a search of this Blog for one of these topics
De ole man puts it to you that, even though these are all “topics of major interest and import”, NEITHER WILL EVER BE DISCUSSED HERE in any seriousness BECAUSE BOTH ARE LIKE CIGARETTES “DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH”
The only blogger on Barbados Underground who will talk about two of these, the Real Drug Lords and lord Evil is Barbados Unerground Whistleblower
Now, and i ask you to consider this.
Why is that the case?
We does come here and bad talk trump, and chavez and maduro and everybody else why one blogger even ask dat Maduro be killed, but when it comes to these three issues, you notice that not a fellow does open he mouf?
Look how powful foolish Peter Lawrence Thompson does talk bout GOD and how this is a fallacy and all of his announcements
I bet you 1 million monopoly dollars dat he is not going to say the same thing about Allah.
You understand me Hal
Fear is the Key
It is noted that as we get older our balls do not stick as close to our body like when we were young, they hang like malshapen cucumbers long from the stem.
I wonder what is the female equivalent of “balls” is that pudenda? do they hang too after the effluxion of time?
But it is anatomically incorrect to say that women have no balls?
Can one for example say Mugabe has no “balls” and it not be considered a malapropism or something like that?

The names of the several players in your saga are many

The thing about matters such as your own is that, IF YOU WERE TO GET Tshirts printed with your message and use the emotive words like

Or “She (Mottley) can get her father knighted in 3 months after we voted for her BUT for 15 years she cant help a poor black man…”
Or “Is Mia like Fruendal, does she like ex pats more than her bajans people?”
Things like this ON YOUR NEW WARDROBE would capture the common man and womans tongue WHEN YOU MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS TO GO DOWN BY PARLIAMENT EVERY TUESDAY in a new shirt
That is about $40 a T-Shirt and you would get 6 for yourself EVEN IF YOUR NEIGHBOURS dont want to wear any
Are you with me?
It is my feeling that Bajans are willing to support causes like yours Mr. Balckman
I can have the grandson do some High Resolution images sized for the front and the back of tshirts and you can go by one of the local fellows who print shirts and get a donation of the printing done and get them reduce the price for the screening etc.

As for the real drug lords – I do not know them. Lord Evil – what can I add to that. I only know the name. I have no insider information. If the powers that be wanted to deal with Lord Evil they would do just that. And so it’s back to the powers that be. They are the real problem not Lord Evil.

Grenville Phillips is on the job, as a consultant and investigator for the white woman, he is now trying to convince the Town Planner and Drainage Dept, that the “problem” is a wall, that Blackman had to erect in 2007 in an effort to save his home. The wall built in 2007 run opposite the boulders up along the course 5+ feet away from the middle line, where the boulders were placed in 2002 into the watercourse to the middle line, and caused the erosion due to redirected flood flow on Blackman’s side making it appeared as the course. Blackman lived on his spot from 1982. A house was above Blackman’s home, a part of the wall was the foundation of that house and it never flood out. The boulders were placed in 2002, when the white woman reclaimed land from 6 feet deep, 4-5 feet wide, along a natural watercourse caused the adjacent lot to be low line

That action caused floods flow to redirect and erode the adjacent lot of a Black man and damaged his home. With time, the Black residential area of Clarke’s Road become the new watercourse

@ William,
Ours is a culture of genuflection, of automatically assuming that the colour of a person’s skin gives him/her some superior authority. Sadly, the better formally educated the person is the more they genuflect. Look no further than BU.
I have written about a series of meetings a group of us from the UK, including myself as the only black person, had in Barbados, to discuss establishing a business school offering Scottish accredited qualifications.
We met with the central bank, accreditation council, BIBA, etc, and in every case the spokespeople for these organisation spoke direct to the white people.
At the central bank meeting the rather plump woman leading the talk was more concerned about my T shirt than she was about the content of the discussion.
Not one of them worked out that here was a Barbadian and they were discussing establishing an institution in Barbados. Maybe he had something to do with it. On another occasion I was due to meet the owner of the Advocate in London, then a white ‘friend’ of his became available. He dumped me without as much as an apology. I have already told the story of Billie Miller in the City of London.
It is a deep cultural inferiority.

Grenville Phillips is seemingly working, for the White Woman who in 2002 built an illegal private botch road to the middle of a natural watercourse, that caused blockage, and redirected flood flows to a poor Black man home causing damaged from 2003. After 7+years of complaining to MTW/Drainage Unit for a remedy that have not yet, come. In 2010 the poor Black man, with his friends help, erected a wall on his land to help protect his home. The wall is ” 5+ ft away” from the boundary line in the middle of said course, opposite where a British Expat white Woman built a boulder wall on the same line. Grenville Phillips told the Black man, that he Grenville, investigated the problem, and the wall is the problem for the blockage, and he told Town Planning and Drainage Unit so. he said the wall is illegal but, not the boulders wall, he did not find a reason for the floods flows going to Clarke’s road, due the fact that the right side of the course (when looking east ) was partly destroyed by the same white woman, in 2003 he did not notice how many boulders are dislodged into what he think is the course, he did not look where the boulders blocked the exit of the worn rock natural course, he did not seek to find out that the boulders are hiding part of the course before the boulders were placed . all Grenville saw was a Black man wall.

Did Grenville seek to find out how the course ran, before it was altered by heavy equipment getting to the British Ex-pat lot site in 2002. How could Grenville not considered that after 7+years of redirecting floods flows, from a rock boulders wall obstruction, onto a rocky muddy formation, will leave a drain that resemble a watercourse. Grenville do you know that Roy Morris saw and wrote about that course,when no wall was erected.
Would Grenville as an engineer advised any Government to build or allowed to be built any road like the one he claim to have seen, into and across a watercourse. where were you Grenville before 2002. do you know a house was above Blackman home, part of the wall was that house foundation and no flooding came to Clarkes road.
