Absolutely correct Gun....I have been saying this for sometime. It's all about propaganda. As things settle for a while a new injection is needed to keep it going. The only thing most say here including myself are things directed at the PLP Government, their tactics et al. Upon reflection, you will see that jokes about the Premier etc have been down about 70 %. Things have been basically mundane here just a bit of back and forth.

Most comments here are about Government not the makeup per sey.

This is just another attempt and doing quite well by the spin artists to flavour their Governments inept.

Hell, more read this site than any other and have all the links provided by members etc.

It's free......just like the RG online.....Thanks Billy Boy.......

Anyway.....Gotta run.........Beyonce was taking a shower at Club Med...I think she needs a rinse before her next performance...........................................

Gotta run..............................Just a quick question.....whats the makeup of Government employees. ?  75 % white.................................................I need to stop injecting this crack man.........to quick too fast...........ann dunt last....................... Yawn

If I am not mistaken, the census is taken every 10 years, which means the next one will be taken in 2010. We may find at that point the disparity is nto as significant although I would expect it to have actually widened due to the crisis that is the public education system, a system that is filled with prodominantly black students. Although I still argue that no matter the educational system, the success of a student is directly related to the involvement of the parent(s). This crisis cannot and should not be lable as racist as I think it is more a political failure n the part of both governing partiies than it is a racist plot.

That, my friend, is the smartest comment you've ever made.  Now, when I'm critical of Ewart and his merry band consider that I'm not criticising becasue they're black, PLP, or whatever. It's because they are failing.

Why exactly is that everything a plp member/supporter writes in support of the gov't is defined as propaganda? We don't speak for the gov't, we speak for ourselves. I wouldn't claim that sandgrownan is being paid by the ubp to post against the gov't but I've been accused of that many times by Rummy et al! Come on, fellas, are you implying that integrity of belief in things isn't something a plp member/supporter can have??

I don't speak for everyone, but for myself and CD, as a friend of his who values his intelligence and beliefs - even when we disagree - we ARE NOT getting paid for anything, we are not spouting the party line and frankly, I'm a mite bit pissed off that we get accused of this.

Sandgrownan,

I appreciate your comments but again I have to state that I have not accused you or anyone else on this site of being critical of Dr. Brown or the PLP based on race. For that, again you are barking up the wrong tree.

There's this NY rapper who says something that actually makes sense pertaining to this thread:

Game I'm finding it harder for me to live with it
Thinkin bout getting on some religious shit
They say religion is for degenerated
But if the church take away the hurt
Then damnit I need to get wit it
So much pain in my life
Cuz It's gotta be the devil
It's got us slavin probably below the poverty level
We could blame the whit man but then why do we settle
Collectively we could expect to see the lives in the ghetto
To be forever facin just death is a revelation
We could get on pace if we better the education

And make some real songs about more than just ballin and big ice
For something to get em to think twice
So much pain in my life
I feel for those who felt they didn't need they brothas
Now they teenage mothers
Care about the AIDS in Africa cuz we they brothas
Reguardless of how they portrayed I can see they love us
It bring pain in my life
To know that there's a whole f'n nation dyin cuz they can't afford medication
While we got the money to goto war
Not for something that was sure but for shit that that was strictly
just speculation

Alsys,

There is only one person who makes such statements and this person has yet to add any value to any discussion, therefore, he simply takes up space and builds his post count. I thing a concerted effort should be made to ignore this person until such time as he decides to participate in a mature manner. It baffles me why more of his comments do not get tanked, but tat is not my responsibility.

Guilden - apologies, that wasn't my intended meaning. The "...or whatever" bit is meant to convey that my criticism is based soley on performance not prejudice.

Alsys - Correct! I'm not being paid by the UBP either. I make it all up on my own as I go along!

alsys - I think it was directed at tigga. At least that's how I took it. Although Crimson Dynamo's timing and his direct relationship to the PLP/Government does raise an eyebrow.....

All the same I do have to agree with the sentiment that Guilden states. Take it for what it is....

sand - Me too! Cause if they was paying, they certainly ain't getting what they paid for... Tongue

SG - I get that lots of people have their ideas about what tigga does, but please try not to lump us all in the same category. I can and do vouch for CD. He's crazy as all hell  Kiss but y'all are WAYYY off base if you think he is trolling for the PLP. His beliefs are simply that - like most other posters on here - his own.

alsys - trust me, I don't lump you or anyone else in with tigga. Heaven forbid..... wacko

As to CD - I respect much of what he brings to the table. I certainly understand the needs of making sure everyone is taken care off, I just happen to be a socially responsible capitalist at heart. I'm more of a British Breakfast with a spot of milk and a teaspoon of sugar. He's green tea all the way..... we're both drinking tea but his flavour just happens to taste like crap. IMHO. Smiley
