Detroit was cool back in the 50’s and early 60’s when it was still pioneering in cars and Motown music.
Bermuda was cool back in the 50’s and early 60’s when it was still a mecca for tourists and friendly safe vacations.

Having lived in both,I can see the similarity of the decline of  Bermuda,and predict the Arabs ,Indians and Asians taking over Bermudian jobs and business ,as they have in Detroit.

Blame liberal leadership that excused crime, that attacked businesses verbally and through higher taxes, and a complete corruption of morality.


In case you haven't heard, "America's first hip-hop mayor" Kwame Kilpatrick, is currently embroiled in a very embarrassing public court proceeding that took more than four years to come to trial.

Charges of parties, dancers, murders and the Mayor's wife accused of savagely beating a dancer who was later murdered.Being democrats and "people of color" can be the only explanation of why we haven't heard of this before.Proving once again, the consistent result when the ignorant majority ,elect their own on a purely racist basis and chaos follows.

"What I mean dear reader in conclusion is that in order for a city to become great it must first become good. You cannot have too many negative elements (whether that be people, cultural habits, societal predilections, welfare recipients, non-taxpayers, unchecked pathology, or youth caught up in the three Ps: Parole – Probation – Prison), without countervailing forces of positive elements (honest people, taxpayers, enlightened leadership, strong churches, effective schools, dynamic businesses, public punishment of lawbreakers and most important, a moral, intelligent, politically diverse citizenry "

Guilden-

It's not important who did it, or why, only that the crime, or crimes, are fully investigated and punished. Glossing over them, because "everybody does it" or "they're just going after blacks" or "the system is far too harsh" just lets the current level of crime continue and get worse.

Probably a federal crime was committed, and the guilty will be going to prison for a long time. The US is not like Bermuda. The accused will have a lot of motivation to give up any co-conspirators, and this could involve a lot of big people in Bermuda. I wouldn't bet none of them are involved with the PLP.

BED,

My point is that you and Biggie say the liberals are soft on crime and believe that the polcie only go after blacks. I am saying that is not the case. I do not believe in being soft on crime, nor do I believe that there is a conspiracy theory that the police and the "system" specifically target blacks. Although you would have to admit the number of blacks who have been pulled over in the U.S. simply because they drive a nice car is significant and do provide some evidence that many in law enforcement do target blacks. Would you disagree with this?

I also do not buy into your theory that blacks are the drug dealers. Do you honestly believe that blacks living in the U.S. inner cities are the major suppliers of drugs in the U.S.? You say you do not know any drug dealers and I am not saying that you do but the fact remains you never truly know how some persons receive their income and personally I would not vouch for too many people.

Bigotry, how do we love it.

Yes and it's great eh! we didn't all come on here to agree and agree and agree with each other - how boring would that be! 

i agree 

Wow Biggie that certainly hit a nerve. I actually read the article by Mr. Ellis Washington.
I guess that you can’t have an opinion that they disagree with! K’s for  being honest.

Let me add one of my favorite educators Walter E. Williams (http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/wew/articles/05/policing.html).   

Let the smiting begin!!!!

The onion,

No-one's saying he can't have that opinion, or even voice it.

Are you saying that we can't say anything about it, though?

If someone writes something as bigoted as this, you can be damn sure that someone's going to say something, but no one said he SHOULDN'T post it, just that it's offensive and bigoted.



Mystic, the phrase used was "...Bermudian jobs and business...", which indicates coming here. Regardless of that, why not say outsourcing? Why say "..Arabs ,Indians and Asians..."? It just reeks of bigotry and ignorance.
Um, biggie, in case you missed it, Indians ARE Asians.

And... uh... we get it. Lt. Col. Burch is (allegedly) gay. Why do you keep harping on it? Are you homophobic as well as racist?
