Tigga,

Yeah no doubt that it works both ways...it doesn't happen in the same context though (i.e. being robbed).  Most white boys grow up here scared of their black counterparts, due to them expressing their feelings (mostly hatred) towards them in an open and sometimes violent manner at a much younger age and because they are simply outnumbered.  

You can argue that as white Bermudians get older and climb up the "corporate ladder" they can turn around and take so called "revenge" by denying the black bermudian (whether he did the robbing or not) from attaining a job or being able to progress through one.  At the same time, through numerous statistical analysis it shows that Bermudians (black or white) are not running the major business of thsi country, it is the foreigners with all the power.  

It is hard to say how to prevent it from just becoming a never ending circle of hate.  My best bet is to say this older generation (black and white), who experienced and enforced segregation has to die off (for lack of a better term), in order to stop this hate from being passed down from generation to generation.  But unfortunately, reading sites like this, the LtoE, political ploys and the modern day segregation (i.e. your county experience) it almost seems like a pipe dream. Not to say that it doesn't happen (intermingling) it just isn't happening on a large scale.

How do we change it?

Overlapping thoughts. Yah see...even Rummies have an idea of whats going on.

Better leave it at that...thas another thread rite?

Gotta run.........squirrels in dee garden hahgain....eating my suppar..........detz hallrite...cupal of shut gahun blasts hin dee hair and the corn will be full of lead and China will have no qualms........

 

Don't even have to read all your words Guilden but I get your point. China is a Communist Country, where by relative compensation $1 an hour would feed them for a week. Thats another commercial. A dollar in China is like $40 or more an hour elsewhere. I am sure I am wrong with that but it even may even be $100 an hour. Economics and structure play a major role and your more informed on that than most.

Thats why most American, Canadian, European, African bussinesses invest there and detz hall shee rote......................

I need a rum................................... too all..................

So Guilden its not about "work ethic, attitude, appearance, personality, ability, way of thought" its simply economics ... you appear to have made Blankman's point.

... and .. err ... Gilden ... you're kidding me right? ... I can go anywhere ... others cannot ... [irony starts] and yeah we have a real report it to the police mentality here in Bermuda [irony over]

Darkside,

What are you talking about? I was asking if the salaries being paid to the African accountats has anything to do with those varibables. How am I making Blankman's point?

Well, hey, if you really want to go somewhere and feel threatened why would you not report it to the police, wat does the mentality have to do with it. You are either prepared to try to solve the problem or your allowing it to continue only supports the problem.

Guilden ... the African accountants should have asked the questions in their negotiations ... you raising sweat shops in China goes to show its only economics ...

... and unfortunately like in our past folk know all to well where they should not go ... and frankly they don't want to go there ... [irony] nor do they want to involve the police [irony end] ... and invading purely for the sake of intergrating in the face of being threatened is just "asking for it" don't you think?

Irrelevant, since it's not true, it's a moot point and has sfa to do with race or institutional racism.

Dropped.  No problem.
