You know why your kids are leaving? Because they WANT to. Get with the 21st century. Humans rights and equality.

know your history Bermuda and Bermudians of all origins. some are quick to shoot the arrow but do not know the origin of the quills!!

The race card is the only thing they’ve got.

So “thousands” is misleading, at the very least.

Quo Fata Ferunt – spoken by a man who just consumed a flask of Black Seal.

“The Government says that its decision to grant status thousands of long term residents is a human rights issue; yet growing numbers of Bermudians are not fooled.”

Yet a quick check of the petitions currently in existence show that 2750 people support Pathways while less than half that, 1138 do not. In fact since the inception of both petitions the ratio of people in support has continued to grow over those not in support.

Also Rolfe answers his own question “do white voters overall in Bermuda vote as a monolith far exceeding that of black voters? And the answer is yes.” but I think he misses the point.

Whites don’t vote for a party because it is white. The OBA does not campaign on vote for us we are white. The PLP on the other hand blatantly say vote for us black people because we are black and you are black. The OBA actually promotes a platform and a strategy. Which one of these strategies would create a “white monolith”?

All the PLP have to do is a good job. Had they done that they would still be in power. Right now as an Opposition they are an embarrassment despite the level of their noise. That will not get you re-elected.

Why would a non-black person vote for the PLP anyway, when they only seem to care about Black Bermudians?

Please indicate where the number of eligible long-term residents is in the “thousands”.

It is no different to the minority populations in the US who overwhelmingly vote for the Democrats as the other option is a Party full of venom and vitriol against their respective demographics.

The PLP needs to change their political tactics and try and embrace the whole of the island’s population for a change.

Listen to what was said at the protest on Friday by the PLP MPs (including the author above) or what they preached in the House on Monday.

Listen to the racial epitaphs used by the former PLP administration against white people and foreigners.

Read the Bermuda Election 2012 Facebook page (which is a prime example) and ask yourself if that is what represents the mindset of the PLP (must do as no one condemns their members/supporters remarks) why would any white Bermudian flock to the PLP?

Below is an excerpt from a speech made by Dr. Clarence James in 1967. It seems not much has changed regarding the green team’s approach to race relations:

“It is now clear that the P.L.P. programme of distortion of the truth is but part of a hate mongering campaign which actively seeks to divide the races. The hate attempts to cover up for the irresponsibility and incompetence of P.L.P. leaders themselves. It creates a frame of mind which would constantly distort a true assessment of what is fair and what is unfair. It breeds civil disorder, disrespect for law and order, and eventual anarchy. Already P.L.P. leaders have instructed Bermudians to break the law, and P.L.P. leaders are now asking their followers to save their money. Could they be actually planning civil disorder and disruption of the economy where there may be no jobs for the very workers they say they are representing? Make no mistake about it, in any disruption of the economy, naturally, politically, or hatefully induced, it is the working class that will suffer the most not because of any malicious intent of those who are relatively more advantaged but because of the general rule that workers have less in savings and fewer alternative job opportunities.”

To the PLP, I am Bermudian whether you like it or not. If you want my support please try and show just a little bit of interest in me and my family’s well-being as opposed to relentlessly demonizing us because of what we look like.
