		<description><![CDATA[Maybe , one day . you can explain how we have so many successful blacks here in Bermuda .. Surely more black millionaires than any other place on earth.

Are they a different  sort of black than the ones suffering from this &#039;huge economic disparity&#039; ? 

And how come I&#039;m white and don&#039;t own any property , not even a car and haven&#039;t been on an off island vacation for many many years. Yet all of my black friends do / have and travel multiple times a year for fun  ?

How does this so called economic disparity come to exist when government collects all this data from companies and knows what they pay and to who ?
Gov&#039;t would know which companies are treating employees with the exact same qualifications differently , wouldn&#039;t they ?
If it was between different companies as opposed to internalized within one company , wouldn&#039;t government straighten out the offending company ?

Like a lot of other things in life , there&#039;s a  whole lot more going on here than meets the eye !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The course was about social justice mediation, which included as one area of discussion how to mediate conflicts arising from disputes around race.  No where in the article does it mention &quot;white on black&quot; racism.

In answer to your second sentence... yes the majority of the population in Bermuda is Black but Census and CURE statistics show all too clearly the inequality between the races, much of which is due to the legacies of hundreds of years of disenfranchisement.  It just goes to show that EVEN in a majority Black environment, structural racism is so well imbedded in our society that DESPITE a majority Black population we are still struggling with the economic disparity.]]></description>
