Recently BU family member ROK was mentioned not in a very favourable light on another blog site. BU family members would have expected ROK not to cower but instead to react in the true tradition of his alma mater by Fighting Back! Read what this is all about by visiting his most recent blog!

In a previous posting I alluded to the possibility that those white bajans-canadians who frequent BFP most likely left Barbados at a time when white Bajans were either revered of feared by blacks. A time when equality was not in practice, and therefore their recent behavior on BU can be viewed in this context.
I need not to be anymore convinced that we need to continue the discussion on race, but it is heartening to hear the words of the outgoing British High Commissioner.
Some Bajan Canadians should read his words and pounder their own actions and activities.
“Speaking to the DAILY NATION at the end of his tour of duty, Taylor said: “The history is difficult obviously because some terrible things happened here under ancestors of mine and from the UK, and those are things that are obviously unforgiveable”.

For what its worth, you will find that besides the “black” and “white” sides people see
and sometimes think they see
there is also a human side to any problem and therein lies the solution
…. at least I think so after my “few” short years of life!!

That’s a mighty observation! How many other possibilities could you allude to? Is this the only one that fits your view? How about they just do not agree with much that is written here? Talk about making a peg fit a hole. Load of nonsense.
@John
It is becoming the norm for me to understand what you have written as long as I do not think about it afterwards or God forbid I start to ponder the relationship of it as a response to what I said, and so it remains in a vacuum not to be linked to anything, I recently said. Be that as it may. Lol!
——————————————–
To whom it may concern. 🙂
I did not vote for Barack Obama. It has been my practice with Prime Ministers of Barbados, to support the chosen leader until the next opportunity comes along to review and decide if I should retain them or chose another. I have continued that tradition in the US with Presidents.
This particular President presented me with another valid reason to support him.
He is regarded as a Blackman much the same that I am, — it is but a skin thing. We live in a culture that as taken to viewing the actions of one person so define as indicative of all the others and so the stereotypes is maintained at all cost. Therefore, it appears.
Certainly, there are legitimate reasons to objects to any number of things he has done.
In my own case, I object to his healthcare bill in its original form. I object to his comments and the way he inserted himself into the Luis Gates/Sergeant Crowley tussle.
It is arguable that his involvement in the Luis Gates issue gave impetus to those who at their core object to his Presidency simply base on his skin color, — to mount what is easily camouflaged as legitimate concerns. The Tea-party groups to my mind had many good points to their objections, but the various rally spokespersons, placards and signs displayed those stereotypes.
In addition to this, I can find no good reason to support the hysteria and boycott of President Barack Obama’s speech to schoolchildren. No reasonable or clearly articulated objection has been tabled, so we are left with past best practices of other Presidents doing the same thing and to wonder why not this one. Dare we to ask, does his skin color have anything to do with it?
Attended to this is the accusation by Glen Beck that a man whose mother is white, and who was raised by Whites and is considered black because his skin is black is a Racist. Does not Glen Beck’s accusation seem very similar to the recent actions by some out of Canada and on the BFP blog?
Adrian
I don’t follow Glenn Beck so can’t respond to your question.
To be honest, I don’t even know what he looks like although I have heard his name used by others both
… glowingly,
…. and not so glowingly.
I was trying to say that sometimes there are human explanations to much of what we see and reducing an observation to black and white simplifes and sometimes degrades a highly complex issue and can give a jaundiced view of life.
Chris Halitosis-
I dont pay you any mind -You should wait till your trough put and then bubble in it. Putting your mouth in people business ! Be off !
ROK bores me and that is a fact with his R.O.K name and his picture.Its time to change, bring something fresh (good advice) I am seriously bored and I hope that the blog administrator can see with and empathise with me because I will soon refuse to visit this blog .
As for Bare Pupp also known as BONNY PEPPA , the less said about the pepper the better.
As for Pat –
PAT and BONNY PEPPA are sisters.
Work out this formula :
Take the P from PAT and add an R , drop the PEPPA from BONNY and then add them together and after switch them around and see what you get.
You must have BRAIN POWER to work out this formula—
CHRIS HALITOSIS (who is looking to buy friends) cant qualify_he lacks Brain Power.
As a matter of fact –you all need BRAIN POWER. Some of you need Brain Powder and some of you need Gun Powder in your brains-not cialis or the other one —-yeah viagra.-

Hi Bajan, that was a nice, little no. although she could n’t begin to compare with Patra for looks!! Wonder what became of her!!

What happened, in the end, to the fuckwit who hunted down an elderly Canadian visitor and beat her to death on a Bajan beach? Is she still, as a very regular commenter on BU said several times, “white thrash” [sic]?
