		<description><![CDATA[This bill was a waste of time nothing has change unless someone verbally tells you &quot;I don&#039;t hire gays&quot; nothing has change. This will be hard to take a person to court on. No same sex wedding are not happening and the oba governement has stated this in their speech. 

This is what you all want and it&#039;s a natural part of the evolution for you to marry. Sorry but any political party that lets same sex wedding takes place in Bermuda will be out of office. That&#039;s what their not telling you. If this wasn&#039;t the case they would have given you full rights just as a man and woman enjoy. So think about it.

This bill was a load of horse ....... and all you people fell for it. Next time you see your MP that voted yes, ask them why didn&#039;t you grant me the right to marry my gay partner with this bill why stop here. All you gay people got played and it&#039;s about time you woke up because no wedding bells are ringing in Bermy tonight.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;so I am not going to make it out like just whites are guilty, but they do hold the largest part of the economic wealth in this country,yet blacks in number are the majority and the less privileged.&quot;

I can not deny that those who hold the largest part of the economic wealth in this country are white. I would be foolish to do so. But what seems to be missed by many is that they are a tiny minority among whites.

Blanket statements are dangerous things. To hold all white Bermudians accountable for the actions of a very few elite because the elite are primarily white, would be the same as holding all black Bermudians accountable for the actions of a very few gang members because the gangs are primarily black.

Both assumptions would be unfair, unkind and the response in both cases would be justifiable anger and frustration.

It would never occur to me to consider any black person I encounter as a gang member, but too many times in my life has it been assumed that I am rich and one of the elite, or a foreigner, because I am perceived as white. I say &#039;perceived&#039; because the reality is that I am of mixed heritage not so different from your own]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In all seriousness I do believe your question warrants and answer,many times out of pure frustration we say things in a blanket statement that is inclusive of all that we are referring to, but I can assure you that I mean no disrespect to any white person or any other culture that fins it hard to survive.

My father and his father and grandfather all come from the white race and I am proud of my Italian roots.(somewhat the Mafia side of it),because some people think twice before messing with my intellect because my fuses can sometimes burn out.

I would say that I make no apologies for those who have raped the land and it&#039;s people and did what they did to our ancestors.shame to say that we have a few blacks in this country that learned from their parents,what the master did to theirs, thus we have those same rich blacks that exploited their own also, so I am not going to make it out like just whites are guilty, but they do hold the largest part of the economic wealth in this country,yet blacks in number are the majority and the less privileged.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott you done as you felt compelled to do and the results are in the favor of those that stood in a gathering of less then the majority, while we live under this democratic rule and make decisions based on conscious belief. It does not mean that the decisions made were the correct one, every human being has rights and will always have rights.

So while you are in the gathering of the so called elite in this country and you have gained a temporary mile stone, lets move on to more effective human rights issues, such as the affordability to live in your own country. take on the like&#039;s of your counter parts who have deeper pockets then you and through the hatred of their forefathers stole much from the black race in this country, lets see them apply themselves now and help level the playing field by given back in ways that would create equal opportunity. 

So in short we still have a racial divide in this country and that should be high on your agenda,don&#039;t try and polish it off with we are equal, when clearly we are not, I am not afforded the majority of rights as a black man in this country as the white man. foolish as it may sound, we are still being exploited as a people and that is why the O.B.A will continue in the vain of previous administrations, to bring in outside help that don&#039;t require a high school education but let their own be subject to a hand out through financial assistance.

Take this and put it on the order paper for debate and lets talk about retribution in this country, for the many elderly who still are alive today and have live through the times of the past, were there families were denied access to a process and also stolen from greatly, we are not talking about an american dream or dreamer. we are talking about our very own and the proof is right in front of us and thus you have the elite of this country living extensively in a lifestyle that many blacks will never acquire.

Look out Shaw Park in Pembroke, Fairylands,Riddles Bay, Tuckers Town and all the private owned Islands around Bermuda. I make no apologies for stupidity of those that are satisfied with the present situations.
Bermuda did not just go into a recession because of the rest of the world,but mostly we are in this position because of our own greed. the recession has somewhat to do with our current economic climate but the depth of were we are is because of our own greed and exploitation of our own people. 

So Mr. Minister I don&#039;t need to write to you office because you do read Bernews, so I challenge you to put this on the order paper of the house of Assembly]]></description>
