		<description><![CDATA[Amazing not one comment from you on the fleecing of the tax payer by Mr.Curtis?

Why is that?

You wonder why people label you the great defender?  Well that would be because it is quite evident that you will defend your party at the expense of Bermuda herself.

You can&#039;t complain about such labels when you live up to them everyday.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;David Dodwell, who earlier this year was named Hotelier of the Year by the Caribbean Hotel &amp; Tourism Association, took top honours for both of his resorts at the recent star-studded Condé Nast Traveler Reader’s Choice Awards ceremony in New York City.

The Reefs in Bermuda was recognized as the #1 resort in the Atlantic for the third consecutive year. And for the first time, Nisbet Plantation Beach Club on Nevis was named the #1 resort in the Caribbean [the resort had held the #3 spot for the past two years].

This is the second #1 award for Nisbet Plantation Beach Club this year. In July, Nisbet Plantation was named the top resort in the Caribbean for the second year in a row by the readers of Travel + Leisure.&quot;

Amazing!!  Not one comment on this which was published on Bernews on October 13, 2011.]]></description>

Yeah that rampant discrimination is so obvious, you only have to look at the last five premiers, the CEO of the bank, and the managing partners of Applebys and PWC, discrimination is clearly ramping amok.

Aww, I feel a bit sad for RN and his folksy racism actually, I just want to pat him on the head and say everything is going to be ok.]]></description>

at 35 you are middle age..since life expectancy is 75. I don&#039;t know your age.
But what happened to you is horrible and no human being should have to endure what you went through. but do you really equate that to institutionalize racism. Racism imposed by the government. How many generation should pass, til the effects wear off. 1 2 3 generations. I don&#039;t know.

I don&#039;t hate or dislike white people, to know ones history does not make you a racist or hater.. 

I am sorry for what happened to you, it&#039;s shameful.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you read my post you would have noticed I stated that no black Bermudians of my generation.  

Never did I say no black Bermudian in the history of Bermuda.

And the fact that you label me getting chased out of establishments/areas, berated publicly and racially harassed to the point of having to move schools nothing but being &quot;bullied&quot; is quite interesting in and of itself.

Imagine if a bunch of white kids, nowadays, did such to a black person in Bermuda.   I doubt very much you will label as simply being bullied by a bunch of white people.]]></description>

My, myself, as a whiteboy have experienced far more verbal and physical racism in my life on this rock then any black person my age, or younger, will ever experience.

If you don&#039;t believe me, then name (young black Bermudians) one time that you have been booted or chased out of certain establishments and/or areas simply because of the color of your skin.  Sh*t I had even had to transfer public schools back in the day as I was harassed everyday by a bunch of 6-10 year olds because I was the only white boy in class.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[True Bermudian: I know History is His Story, and with that been said, I don&#039;t know where to received your teaching about Bermuda and our history from but it is so way of base in accordance with my history.

Black Bermudian of yesterday, where taught to shout up and do as you are told, take what you get and don&#039;t complain, you have no rights and are not entitled to any. today&#039;s Black Bermudian are not settling for the same faith of there fore fathers, the vast majority are still doing whats needed to be done, to survive, but they are far more vocal, don&#039;t mix up Bermuda&#039;s worst Blacks with the majority of Black Bermudians.

Also note some of the folks that suffered through segregation and discrimination in Bermuda are still living. Bermuda was desegregated  in the a mere   40-50 years ago and discrimination still runs ramped today, although not openly. 

Sometimes I wonder which was worst the master/employer,  that chased you from his door and told straight to you face I don&#039;t hire Blacks, or the ones of today that hire you but pay less than whites, or the ones that simply just don&#039;t hire you leaving you to wonder why. again not sure which is worst.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s the harsh reality:

For a couple of generations now black people in Bermuda have been taught to hate whitey. They&#039;ve been taught that hate is okay and it is justified because whitey is the enemy. The devil.

Today it&#039;s not only the norm and commonplace for open hostility towards whites, it&#039;s almost expected amongst the black peer group - and blacks offer every reason, except logic and sanity, to excuse their hateful behavior.

That backward mentality is at odds with the tourism sector.

After all: if I&#039;ve been taught to hate whitey and eff whitey by any means necessary, then why in the world would I want to go wait or serve some white devil in a restaurant or hotel?!

Aren&#039;t white people the problem?

Remember all u devil whites: &quot;you don&#039;t get the job unless you look like me&quot;.

Last election saw dr brown say &quot;this country owes black people.&quot; 
Yet black people have run Bermuda for 13 years now. So who owes who?!

And as far as I know all the oil is in the middle east so who really has the power and the grip around the worlds throat at this point anyway? Certainly not these doe eyed white devils.

LaVerne and others of her ilk like rolfe still point the finger at whitey for their problems.  But they have done little to find solutions to Bermudas real problems: a lot which have been created by them and the pawned off as whiteys fault.

Keep spouting rhetoric by your false professors LaVerne. The rest of us free thinkers have a right to exist without your ignorance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right on Mike D. Thankfully our generation seems to be a bit more enlightened when it comes to these things. I really pity some members of the older generation who are really still hung up with these things, carrying around all that bitterness is just sad.

I must say though I did enjoy those quotes by Dr Cress, that&#039;s some seriously funny stuff. The Snickers bar has just taken on a whole new meaning, and I better quit smoking those white cigarettes while I&#039;m at it, I can imagine the Freudian theory behind that one.

On the topic of this piece, judge the Conde Nast award as you wish. However, I would hope that the people of Bermuda judge the success of tourism in Bermuda by the amount of money and jobs that this sector generates for the economy, not the amount of magazine awards we receive. 

Come on people can we all just grow up a bit please.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Or IQ levels as if you read and interpreted everything Dr. Cress said you would realize she destroys her own definition of racism with her thought that whites are descendants of mutants that were kicked out of Africa for this difference. If this holds even an once of truth then how can racism only encompass a white way of thinking if it was as she thinks black Africans kicking them out of the country effectively stripping them of everything talk about keeping them out of society and disadvantaged.

		<description><![CDATA[Looking back at some of the pro black comments and even some of the pro white comments on here I have to say people making them are sounding more and more like &quot;Charles Manson types, Tea partiers, kkk types&quot; by the day. I have a feeling that many posters on here have multible names so thats still says those that think like this are in the minority of the country. However if you look at the content of the comments on here generally you have attacks on a person which others believe is race based based on who they perceive the victim to be and then comments with the basis that all of a race are some way. Just and interesting observation that shows historical perceptions are being placed, forced , pushed on the younger generation much like a families fueding over past injustises and at this point there is no real progressive thought happening just unbrideled contempt for the other. 

So when will this lead to what is good for the whole country? PLP &amp; OBA supporters any answers......

LOL The wises man in the world freely admitted that he knew nothing and that the days of are lives are like sand slipping from our finger tips. Remeber to laugh a little and together as much as yo can as it heals the soul.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To me these comments on both sides of the fence are very upsetting. I have grown up on this island and I would like to stay here and grow with this country. Why do we have people reiterating very divisive comments on this blog? What is the motivation? If you truly dislike the white man I cannot condemn you but I can ask why? I promise you Raymond of all the white people that I know there is not one that is out to get anyone based on color. Laverne, I am not sure what motivates you to write this stuff but please for the sake of all of us please just stop. I am young (28) and I do not wish to see my country turn into a spiteful nasty community. I would hope that those writing above me on this blog are of the older generation and will soon be too old to continue to fill those less knowledgable with the prefered form of propaganda. We, the young people, can then move forward together as that is how we were brought up....... TOGETHER! To all those prodigious people on both sides of the fence...... give it up you are a small minority and we will eventually weed you out, and in the end you will be remembered in the same way that you have presented yourself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What are we discussing here? White Supremacy? Or the Award?? In short Bermuda has won this award 15 out of 16 times as someone has said above. That said, it is very good news that we retain this award for another year but in reality it is not to the credit of Bermuda Tourism or the government, our tourism product has obviously declined and we have several derelict hotel sites that if they were not would provide many jobs. That is the reality, it does not mean the economy is turning around, it does not mean that tourism has turned around. If you want proof of that then ask the many people unemployed currently. We need to convince hoteliers to invest in our Island with new hotels on the old sites. Why has that not happened to date under the present government?]]></description>

Do PLP a favour and stop spewing your garbage. Your a bitter miserable women and all you spread is negativity. All these survey&#039;s that seem to be getting done maybe a survey should be done to see what percentage of people actually think what you have to say is prodcutive or good for this Country.

Please the irony of the haters is that they are the ones hating the most and at best sounds to me that someone other than white people believe in their superiority to the point of whishing for supremacy.

LOL seems whites and blacks who think like this will be in a dead lock forever while the rest of us have fun and accomplish our goals. Looks like all this teaching history again and again is producing more circular thinking than progressive thinking. What can be said about one can to easily be turned on the other. Thats the irony of the human condition some just can&#039;t get past they perspective.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would ask the people to please take another look at the headline.

It says Best Island in the Caribbean/Atlantic. Pretty sure we are still in the Atlantic.

I know you all just want to bitch about everything Bermuda but please read.

1 more thing, I promise you Miss LaVerne is no racist, but i am not afraid to make my dilike and distrust of the white man known. Now you know someone whom you can freely call racist.

		<description><![CDATA[Since when is Bermuda a Caribbean Island? Dear fellow Bermudians, if you want to remain the &quot;best&quot; then stop comparing ourselves to the Caribbean or worse, presenting us as Caribbean when we are not in so many ways from geographically to culturally etc. Best in the Caribbean is NOT good enough because we should be continuing to compete on a GLOBAL scale. So all of you who may think my comment is inappropriate remember this.....you are only as great as the standards you compare yourself to.]]></description>
