This video raised its ugly rh head in Barbados last evening.

The more discerning among us are aware racism and bigotry are unwelcome human characteristics present everywhere humans exist. We accept human beings are imperfect creatures. However, it does not mean when these unsavoury qualities show its ugly head that civil society should not promote relevant policies and other measures as requires to nurture tolerance and educate fellow citizens in the interest of growing a wholesome society.

The mouthings from the person in the video is the result of many things which Barbadians have known and been tardy to addressing over the years. Crypto racism has been discussed often enough in this forum- for years. It must be addressed in a structured way. Spouting balderdash is easy for some but it will take much more to excoriate the scourge of racism and bigotry that has metastasize over centuries.

  1. Hal

    The political elite all betray themselves in the words they utter and positions they take.

    The swamp if you like!!

    Division is their watchword.


  2. The issue is not Cliff Corbin, the issue is the White supremacist racism that still disfigures Bajan society 187 years after the abolition of slavery here.

    The brain dead black lackeys are trying to make this out to be an isolated incident. Conveniently ignoring centuries of white supremacy and black suffering.

    PR statements and empty apologies mean nothing. It’s time for Black Bajans to excercise power. It doesn’t matter if the Corbins are related or not (of course they are). That’s not the point. It doesn’t matter who controls what business.
    It is about black bajans dismantling the effects of centuries of subjugation and white supremacy.

    Boycott. Boycott. Boycott.


  3. Will Massy have to apologise too?

    It is owned by Trinidadian interests.

    Most of Barbados is owned by foreigners.

    Most if not all the mortgages are issued by foreign interests.

    Sale of CIBC is a case in point, Canadian regulators have stepped in.


  4. Clifford Corbin is an individual who is individually responsible for his statements.


  5. “Why be economic with the truth like a bent propagator from Times News with an ulterior motive the preacher doing God’s work said the worship cult of Tom Moore was “The Cult of White British Nationalism””

    Hal is a specialist in half truths

    I could go on and on the full has never been told

    what about the half that has never been told look how long it has been kept a big secret look how long it has been hidden away the half the half that has never been told


  6. Is this business registered with and paying taxes to the Barbados Revenue Authority and with the National Insurance Insurance Scheme and paying NIS contributions for its employees?


  7. Wait bosie! Who pays the taxes on the cars???? They are paid by the consumer, passed on in the price. That is us again, not white businessmen.

    So….. if the new car dealerships shut down and we buy second hand cars from small black dealers and the government gets less revenue to spend back with the same white businesses and we have more money in our pockets to spend with our own…..

    Where have we lost again???

    John the Racist is trying to scare the people into inaction. And Lawson (the “crypto-racist” even if he does not know it) has not got a clue!

    We can reimagine and rearrange supply chain can’t we? Is it rocket science? And even then we had black female mathematicians behind the scene sending wuhnuh dishonest asses to the moon from the very beginning way back then, working in segregated and hidden work spaces.

    White people have done a number on us! Hiding us away in the back, presenting us as unaccomplished dummies to the world! Many of us have bought into their lies but no more!

    And as one commenter noted, they have committed the most heinous and violent acts in history and still manage to present us as the most violent savages and a threat to the world.

    And Lawson is forever mentioning a few backward beach bums that propositioned his young daughters! Typical racist trope!

    Nobody in my sphere is looking longingly at Lawson’s daughters. Certainly none of my male family members have any use for them.

    “So you are saying we must let the idiots behaviour go unpunished and focus on others who may not even know the clown, but have the same skin colour as him?”
    +++++++++++
    If the idiot broke the law then charge him…. but much that is evil is not against the law.

    I am focused on the evil, not on the law. The evil is White supremacist racism. I seek to eradicate it. It is useful for me to bring it into the sunlight when given the public outbursts of idiots like Cliff Corbin, but Cliff Corbin is not the issue, White supremacist racism is the issue. Note that I am not talking about some dictionary definition of racism in an abstract context… I am talking about White supremacist racism in the context of Barbados history and society.

    This is not about “racists regardless of skin colour” this is about White supremacist racism in Barbados 187 years after the abolition of slavery.


  9. John has little credibility on the blog regarding race issues. We should pity him. Race is a big issue in Barbados. The blogmaster recalls the attack by Barbados Free Press and others labeled BU a racist blog because race discussion was taken to an uncomfortable level. Older Bajans prefer to avoid conflict and to bandaid an issue like race relations/reconciliation.


  10. Is Liz Thompson any relation to Peter Thompson?


  11. or is it like Thompson and Thomson

    Tintin!!


  12. @ PLT

    I understand your position and respect your right to it as i hope you do mine.

    I can not paint a whole race with the same brush based on the behaviour of one idiot. That would be like me saying because 1 white man was charged for rape that all white men are rapist.

    I while accepting your view will however be holding to mine. I want to see this perpetrator dealt with under the laws of Barbados.


  13. whenever you meet a racist like John or Cliff chatting bare shit pay them no mind
    they want to fuck up your high
    and you are encouraging and enabling them every second you waste time with negative minds
    next they will claim they are better than you and you are pushed to the bottom again


  14. Again John A your simple perspective of what has occurred trivializes the point that in Barbados we have a race relations issue the Clifford incident has forced to the surface. We have to deal with the real issue and avoid pushing your head in the sand.


  15. @ PLT

    But if we do that are we not painting all white people with the same brush ? What about the white bajan men that married coloured women and have mixed children how do we see them? Are we saying those innocent children are too black too be white or too white to be black? What about the companies owned by mixed owners like Terrefic Tiles what do we do with them? That is a long lasting partnership between Mr Hoyte and the Goddards group. Do we then only boycott half the showroom? What do we do with the Williams Group of companies that Bizzy is chairman of. Are you aware that a large majority of his companies are owned by his own staff who are his black shareholders? How does one boycott those companies? Do we only boycott 48% of the showrooms then?

    The approach that you are recommending is flawed beyond reason. Deal with the perpetrators of ALL race crimes. I see in the USA they have so far charged hundreds for the madness of January 6th. If Trump can be proven to be the instigator well charge his fat tail too. Do not however charge his 3rd cousin because he too has the Trump name.


  16. @ David.

    So basically then all white people are racist? So the black people that cuss the white ones does that also make all Black people racist too then?

    Then want to understand the logic here


  17. @ David

    I am not pushing my head in no sand. Actually quite the opposite I am asking for the guidelines for boycott. Surely those that shouting boycott from the roof tops must have an idea of how it will work or is that just hot air being vented?


  18. Also before wunna boycott the Goddard group please be advised that is a public company owned to a large extent by black shareholders. Don’t want nobody going boycotting them own dividend cheque by mistake!


  19. “white bajan men that married coloured women and have mixed children how do we see them?”

    getting down to the nitty gritty means fucking a black woman when on slave ships they used to wash the women before raping them and spunking their load in them, the meaning became known as getting down and dirty and has been twisted and excused by their white descendants as meaning the dregs of the dirt in the water that drained away.
    In slavery days whites used to rape the women as they were considered their property and in the western slave markets they would fondle their breasts and pick the sweetest black pussy they could find from age 14 when they became women.
    Bedroom wrestling games cocky versus pussy is still a domination power game where women nowadays can’t get no satisfaction and want to ride on top of the men to stimulate their clitoris with sexual energy and have multi orgasm in their microcosmic orbit. Sexual energy is the highest form of energy that the body produces.


  20. So I ask this question then.

    If one white man is accused of raping a black woman does it mean that all white men are rapist too then based on their skin colour?


  21. @ Donna February 5, 2021 10:56 AM

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Also we should enquire of Lawson (and the other redneck ‘John’) why are there so many so-called light skin people in Barbados including the same John Knox who has been daubed with the plantation tar brush but still feels he can ‘pass for white’ like many other Bajans of mulatto origin.

    Didn’t these ‘light-skin’ products come about as a result of ‘forced’ sexual encounters aka rape on the plantations between enslaved African women and European male savages?

    If Europeans viewed the Africans as inferior beings taken from the wild to be humanized what does that say about whites who engaged in non-consensual sex with the same so-called uncultured animals?

    How more of a ‘savage’ can you be by engaging in such acts of bestiality?

    The prolonged raping of black women ought to be an agenda item in considering any claims for reparations in respect of black chattel slavery. The trail of evidence for such a claim of severe sexual abuse of the black female (and some males) ancestors can be found all around Barbados today.


  22. You are playing yourself
    if you don’t know
    you don’t know
    there is no spoon feeding for big babies
    rastas sit down and reason with brethren
    contenance of one man brighten up another
    iron sharpen iron


  23. There are those who keep going around and around in circles because they’re unable to articulate intelligently in their minds that the whole corrupt, racist system in Barbados MUST BE DISMANTLED…it’s time for a RESET…don’t give shit who is displaced in the interim…the displacement of a few DON’T SUPERCEDE the mental health, wealth and progress of the MAJORITY BLACK POPULATION WHO FUND THE COUNTRY…

    get that in ya empty heads that seem to be filled with goddamn holes.


  24. “If one white man is accused of raping a black woman does it mean that all white men are rapist too then based on their skin colour?”

    in the white world where you dwell all whites are considered individuals
    but blacks brown yellow and reds are all always stereotyped by negative transgressions
    that is the worst excuse in the world and it doesn’t make it alright as it’s down to hate and ignornace
    the hate that hate made is a different story it is about becoming conscious and waking up


  25. Sometimes I think I’m the only attentive observer on BU. Don’t you see the pattern?

    In the summer, Denny initiated the Nelson riots. Now Corbin is initiating new riots. In both cases Barbados was in lockdown with rising mass unemployment. It is therefore very clear to me that the puppet masters are pulling the strings in the shadows. Nameless powers set blacks and whites on each other to consolidate their own rule. Divide et impera! Denny and Corbin are just puppets on strings to distract the public from the dire economic situation and the further threat of national bankruptcy.

    What a brilliant performance by the Phantom Squad!


  26. And ya definitely cannot dismantle a racist system without breaking EVERY ONE OF THOSE RACIST EGGS….the shitehounds who enable racism, apartheid and disenfranchisement of the Black population can make omlette.


  27. Next, we get a new monument. Then, suddenly, the puppet masters will bring out another white idiot who will say bad things for a fee. The BU commentators will then be distracted again for weeks and the puppet masters can rule in peace.


  28. Miller…the ignorance of some on here is appalling, based solely on their debased comments. They are determined to keep a racist, disabling system in Black people’s lives and we are determined X10 to BREAK IT INTO PIECES AND SCATTER IT AND THEM TO THE WIND.


  29. My point here is that this is a discussion worth having as long we do so in a rational manner based on reality.

    The Jews have not forgotten the holocaust and they have ensured that they have moved forward regardless of it, some will even say because of it. What we must do is follow their examples and pool money for greater investment opportunity. The Indians here have also done this very successfully in all areas of the economy. They are billions of dollars owned by black investors sitting in bank accounts doing nothing. Take up some of that and open businesses that can compete with the established ones. Mr Bynoe at Carlton has done it so can others. As a people we have the economic power sitting on the banks catching dust while we bitch and moan here on a blog.


  30. “And ya definitely cannot dismantle a racist system without breaking EVERY ONE OF THOSE RACIST EGGS….the shitehounds who enable racism, apartheid and disenfranchisement of the Black population can make omlette.”

    That’s deep
    Have you seen watchmen series

    HBO’s Watchmen’s first episode paid homage to that smiley when a drop of blood falls from the hanged Judd Crawford’s body onto his sheriff’s badge. Even before that, however, Angela Abar arranges a smiley face made of egg yolks, with a little smidge of blood visible at the top. It’s the egg homage to the original smiley face that eventually gives way to this Watchmen’s predominant visual motif: the egg itself.

    Eggs are all over Watchmen. As Angela makes her egg smiley face in episode 1, she teachers her son Topher’s class how to make bánh pía and discusses the properties of egg whites and egg yolks. In the show’s second episode, Will Reeves frees himself from Angela’s kitchen prison to go buy some eggs to hard boil. Episode four introduces us to the Clark family, farmers on the edge of Tulsa who sell their eggs on the side of the road.

    Then in the show’s final two episodes, the egg becomes an important totem to the show’s actual endgame. Jon Osterman a.k.a. Doctor Manhattan conjures an egg out of thin air when Angela asks him to prove his godly powers. Later when Angela asks whether Jon can transfer his power to others he says that it is theoretically possible if he transfers his power to organic material and then it’s consumed by someone else. Organic material like an egg, perhaps?

    Eggs are important in Watchmen because they are an important part of the themes it’s trying to communicate. While the original Watchmen dealt with masked vigilantes in a world on the edge of nuclear annihilation, this one deals with America’s racist, past, present, and likely future. In other words, it deals with generations and how they interact with one another. Angela Abar not only meets her long lost grandfather, she gets to experience what he experienced many years ago. Lady Trieu not only meets her own powerful father, she tries to prove that she can save the world more effectively than he can.
    Dealing with the mistakes and triumphs of our ancestors is important to Watchmen. But even more important to the show is dealing with their pain. Watchmen raises an interesting (and potentially real) psychological concept in its fifth episode, the Looking Glass centric “Little Fear of Lightning.” As Wade Tillman hosts a support group for those effected by the inter-dimensional squid attack, one young attendee reveals that he still feels the psychic trauma of the event even though he wasn’t there…because his mother was there
    AD

    “There’s this thing: genetic trauma,” he says. “Basically if something really bad happens to your parents, it gets locked into their DNA. So when my mom got hit by the blast, even though I wasn’t born until 10 years after 11/2, it’s like I inherited her pain.”

    Watchmen is ultimately a story of intergenerational trauma. And if you’re telling a story of intergenerational trauma, an egg is a pretty apt emblem to adopt. Eggs are widely recognised symbols of fertility, procreation, and potential. An egg is a building block for life, easily understood by all.

    The egg also proves to be a versatile symbol. There are so many idioms about eggs that Watchmen is able to use them to tie its proposition about generational pain into other themes. When Angela realizes that she was the one who unwittingly told her grandfather about the Klan robe in Judd Crawford’ closet, she reacts with horror. Who really killed Judd Crawford: Angela or Will? Jon can only chuckle and muse “what came first: the chicken or the egg.” The egg question is here to help conceptually represent the difficult paradoxes that Jon’s time-hopping consciousness creates.
    The show also presents the phrase “you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.” In episode three Laurie uses the phrase as part of her joke to describe Veidt’s violent approach to saving the world. The second time it’s brought up is in the finale when Will tells Angela that idiom at Doctor Manhattan’s behest. It’s a phrase that Angela will recognize the importance of at the proper moment. That proper moment comes when Angela realizes Doctor Manhattan may have left a power-imbued egg behind. Angela discovers an unbroken egg in a carton of smashed ones. Remembering Jon’s words she consumes the egg and attempts to walk on water to see if Jon was right. We never get to see if he was.
    The thing about symbols is that they don’t have to necessarily be useful tools within the context of the story to be important. For eight episodes, eggs are important to Watchmen as a visual motif. Then it is final episode, Watchmen elevates an egg to an object of potential world-altering import.

    “But if we do that are we not painting all white people with the same brush?”
    ++++++++++++++++
    No we are not. Exactly the opposite. I boycott White owned businesses that refuse or decline to take a publicly stance strongly condemning White supremacist racism, specifically in the face of public idiocy like that perpetrated by Cliff Corbin. So I pay attention and take note of the differences between Bizzy Williams and COW Williams and treat them accordingly. I work to provoke ALL White owned businesses to take a loud public stance strongly condemning White supremacist racism, even without any instance of public idiocy.

    Why White owned businesses? Because White supremacist racism is basically a problem within the White community and the business class are the de facto leaders of that community. White supremacist racism in Barbados is not my problem, it is a problem 100% owned by White people in Barbados. It is 187 years past due for them to fix their problem. I will keep prodding them.

    I have many White Bajan friends and White expat friends… some of them married to Black spouses. They all, to one degree or another, take personal responsibility for fighting against White supremacist racism, otherwise I would not be calling them my friends. One of the most delightful things that I have experienced in the past few years since returning to Barbados is forming deep friendships with young White Bajans who are determinedly fighting White supremacist racism in Barbados. This gives me great joy, so I never paint all White people with the same brush.


  32. The weakminded will always be weak and slave like…hence when these opportunities arise you make sure it goes global so none of them can hide and reconfigure the racism to present it in another invisible package….while their little imps and pimps cheer them on.


  33. They will have those trying to rid the island of racism EXPLAINING THEMSELVES ALL DAY…

    they can’t pull that shit with me because i would tell them straight up….any resistance will be met with shackle and chains, this time for the racists…..am sure they understand that i take no prisoners and will destroy them by any means necessary…so they can’t ask me to explain shit…that’s explanation enuff.


  34. “There’s this thing: genetic trauma,” he says. “Basically if something really bad happens to your parents, it gets locked into their DNA. So when my mom got hit by the blast, even though I wasn’t born until 10 years after 11/2, it’s like I inherited her pain.”

    genetic memory is real.


  35. @ PLT

    I agree with that approach and do the same. I am blessed with friends of all colours and I say blessed because they all have different views on life. To me idiots come in all colours and I free myself from them quickly. Wife always saying I have no patience for fools. Lol

    What I have noticed is that the race thing is not as much a problem among the younger bajans. Several of my friends have mixed kids, who date either black or white friends and as their fathers say who married the opposite race ” as long as they threat my daughter well I am happy for them.”

    Let me ask you a question, if you were white and had a daughter would you not prefer to see them date a decent coloured guy than a white idiot like Clifford?

    The challenge does not come from those capable of reason it comes from the radicals on either side. Sadly it is impossible to reason with these as they paint all with the same brush be they white or black. I mean you wanted a worst display of white “red neck ” behaviour than what was exhibited on January 6th in the USA and that was white against white!


  36. “The Jews have not forgotten the holocaust and they have ensured that they have moved forward regardless of it, some will even say because of it. What we must do is follow their examples and pool money for greater investment opportunity.”

    there have been many rich black entertainers from Billie Holliday to Ella Fitzgerald to Nina Simone to Smokey Robinson to James Brown to beyond into Hip Hop samples and artists

    but they were still black

    they were still segregated

    they were still forced to live in the ghetto part of town

    when they bought a house in a white neighbourhood whites thought their equity in property would fall in value

    you must be referring to white jews when hitler broke the golden rule when germans were starving from sanctions of invading poland and treating whites like the whites treated blacks when they massacred Africa which kicked off another world war, black genocide is no big thing but a chicken wing, but killings of whites makes the news


  37. “genetic memory is real.”

    blacks don’t do therapy
    or mental health issues which is a white privilege

    they do time instead and wait on time to address the issues in their tissues


  38. Folks thanks for the discussion it was interesting to hear everyone’s views.

    In closing let me say this final thing. We as bajans have billions of dollars sitting in the banking system. Take some of it up and invest in ventures to compete with established businesses. If all we do is sit and complain about the past the future will not improve for any of us.


  39. It amazing how Black people are put on the defensive about racism. Whether we paint all Whites racist or not.

    As if we are to each canvass the thinking of all White people before we are to say that racism, as a system, was created by Whites to serve Whites and still represent the bedrock of reality.

    The great Malcolm X put it best in response to this question when he observed that that question should not be considered by us. That we should love our own. At that stage of his development there was no fiction about the oneness of mankind for him.

    We wonder when those who approach this subject as if there is not a history have also first interrogated their White friends about the enduring structural racism upon which today’s Whiteness is solidly constructed.


  40. DavidFebruary 5, 2021 11:36 AM

    Again John A your simple perspective of what has occurred trivializes the point that in Barbados we have a race relations issue the Clifford incident has forced to the surface. We have to deal with the real issue and avoid pushing your head in the sand.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Clifford Corbin (CC) and his second man, a black rasta, did work for me years ago.

    I spent most of my time with the second man … won’t name him .. as he worked the machinery.

    CC kept it running.

    He had some weird ideas.

    His second man used to laugh at him behind his back but he still worked for him.

    If the video was taken by the second man I met I can understand why, probably wanted to teach him a lesson and get a laugh.

    The problem for the second man is that he is probably out of a job.

    CC probably won’t get much work now.

    CC was steeped in the same mentality of victimhood to which many Bajans cling.

    Always somebody did him something.

    Guess the alleged accident sent him off and he needed a scapegoat.

    Hopefully he will learn his lesson this time and his second man will get his laughs!!

    Both will probably lose out.


  41. ” We as bajans have billions of dollars sitting in the banking system. Take some of it up and invest in ventures to compete with established businesses.”

    List all the black stock and shares that can be invested in son.

    No one can school me about investment markets as they never knew me have me credential.

    I once mentioned that a black fund would do the necessary research on your behalf but got shot down as I was not black enough like Schooly D from PSK Parkside Killers


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN_Jlhxm83U


  42. Whataboutery and false equivalence. If this, suppose that, what if this, maybe that. Suppose grass was blue ? Suppose all you want but it is green .

    No one is interested in hypotheticals at this stage. The reality is that Black Bajans have the opportunity to send a strong message to the local white supremacists and should. They have the option to spend their own rh money where they choose. If I decide that Corbin or Cow or Bizzie cant get any of my money then they won’t.

    Why is “Mr Should of” so passionately defensive of the White interests? That’s the question he should answer?



  43. Tell the clowns and apologists:

    “As if we are to each canvass the thinking of all White people before we are to say that racism, as a system, was created by Whites to serve Whites and still represent the bedrock of reality.”

    Bizzy and his black wife were battling to take food out of taxi men’s mouth at the airport recently, making sure they were DRIVEN INTO POVERTY and the same shitehound apologists were nowhere to be found to help these men and their families..

    these frauds and enablers of white supremacy and thefts against the black majority need a whip taken to their treacherous backsides just like the racists and thieves in the minority community..


  44. I will expose them and the traitors who support them in the destruction of Black people…they are greedy thieves and live to rob the black population.


  45. So I ask this question then.

    If one white man is accused of raping a black woman does it mean that all white men are rapist too then based on their skin colour?

    Xxxxxxxxx

    WHAT THE HELL HAS HYPOTHETICAL RAPE ACCUSED GOT TO DO WITH GUILTY AND EXPOSED RACIST ACTIONS.

    YOU’RE TRYING WAY TOO HARD.

    GIVE IT A FUCKING BREAK.

    BLACK PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE PRIMARY THE REASON WHY WHITE MASSA RULED BLACKS FOR 400 HUNDRED YEARS OF SLAVERY AND SUBJUGATION.


  46. the house niga syndrome.


  47. Could be that the “second man” finally understands the concept of short term pain for long term gain.

    Maybe he’s heard enough of the scumbag CC’s “weird ideas” that really are not that weird among Bajan whites at all.

    If it is this second man who recorded the video, then this act would have freed him to stand upright on his own two feet.

    No, he would not have lost a thing. And he would have regained his self-respect, the most precious possession one can have. Indeed, it is priceless!

    With self-respect one can accomplish wonders hitherfore unimagined!

    But I heard it was a person of Indian descent. Don’t know how true but it certainly would explain how the person managed to record from such close proximity in the first place. The white scumbag probably thought he was in safe company!


  48. PLT I see you got the AL Sharpton thing going, be like him not Innis 36000 or 2017 rav4 is setting the bar too low. So since I am older than you I will give you a little wisdom take your cpp at 60 and at 65 get your old age because it takes till 72 before it equals out . Most people fare better . I see cudhear likes the sweat of your brow …..business. Why cant you guys come out and say we hate white people tourist or local , we dont want you here as tourists and pretend we like you. I would have more respect for you and explore other options.
