Your IQ is not even average. Please do not refer to yourself as Bermudian.

Thank you.

They’ll be “threatening” the rest of us all the way to the library.

Very scary.

“… no matter how much he pretends that he is some sort of independence thinker.”

I don’t doubt that independence is still on the frontburner for a lot of folks here.

No one has ever said history does not matter – get that straight! Running a campaign purely on skin color is not progressive.

The biggest threat to the white society is a young Black person that knows their History and exposes the evil of the past and educates their peers.
More dangerous then the brain damaged thugs that are a menace to society.

He is! He came back home during his break to get the voters registration drive started. He’s back in the UK now but has left a few young people in charge of the initiative. Don’t worry, he’ll be back soon. I’ll tell him you’re proud of him

In what context do you mean? For one there would most likely be very little postive comment. White people are continually generalized and for the most part demonized on the island! But hey that’s the norm, right? Something about two wrongs never making a right comes to mind! Smh

I applaud both of you. Confine to be the strength you are. How insensitive it is is for those making these comments as if this history does not matter. The nerve. Keep fighting, keep winning. This is import. This matters and you are the legacy of Bermuda ..

If he was a young white person he would have been asked to be fired, threatened, and there would have been protests asking for his head on a plate if he wore a KKK uniform or even a Panthers costume during Halloween with the words PLP on it.

The problem with history is that is usually recorded and reported from one persons view. For example talk to a BIU member during the Belco Riots, even those that burned and looted and you will hear of the struggle, the mission, the fight, and the victory! Talk to the police and workers that were on duty that were targeted and even murdered for doing nothing more than doing their job and you will hear a very different story?

No doubt you applaud him, ignorance is bliss my friend. I’m sure you probably marched next to the woman with her protest sign of hate about white disease!!!. Meanwhile just a few years earlier some of those same marchers called for the firing of a woman because she made a comment during a union march that they didn’t like.

Racism is alive and well in Bermuda, and until all persons (especially politicians) treat others equally and learn to respect (not necessarily like or support) the opinion and rights of others, nothing will change.

What is your problem exactly with him asking if it will be biased? I wouldn’t want my kids or your kids going to any event (political or otherwise) assuming one thing and then finding out getting bombarded with something else.

It is important to note the history of the electoral system, how it evolved, and who stood to benefit most at various points in its history. Does it look as tho it intends to repeat some of its past.

Nope. People wouldn’t look for his associations they would praise his initiative.

Truthhertz:
Nothing MORE deceptive than the GOONS who are supposed to run this country but are too bent on their own gains, at the expense of ALL Bermudians.
I am GLAD he dressed like that. It should show YOU exactly what is happening here. Too many KKKs living on a 22 mile island.
They should ALL take their biased foolishness back to where they have come from.
Hail to Bermuda’s Youth.
I applaud you,Mr. Hill and your endeavours with OUR YOUTH.
Superb!!!!!!!!

1. Wasn’t him 2. KKK is an organization that saw one group, race, class of individuals as superior to others; OBA…. Hmmm

the best way of knowing if it’s biased is by being there. You may even participate, may it be only listening. HOPE YOU ATTEND.

TO.. NOT EXACTLY:
So what if Mr. Hill is affiliated with a particular political party. The information gained from an historical drive would be fantastic.
Stop looking for a P.L.P. ASSOCIATION. Look at what knowledge youth would gain instead.
Ridiculous, to say the least.

This is a guy who dresses up as the KKK for Halloween with OBA written across his chest.

So of course it will be biased.

He is who he is no matter how much he pretends that he is some sort of independence thinker.

I would love to think that this were a genuine non-partisan youth initiative, however Mr. Hill has already shown time and time again that he is an official unofficial spokesperson for the PLP (a la Chris Famous). I fear that “Generation Next” will only be another puppet organization that allows the PLP to attack the Government at arms length.

Registering people to vote, youth or otherwise, is something I can get behind.

It is advantageous to know and try to understand history when it is used to benefit an individual moving forward in life without the need for atonement. History is important to everyone and should be read and understood by everyone so that mistakes are not repeated. Carrying history forward in any other way is extremely unproductive and damaging. It is true that if a person has a broad picture of all history then that person is more likely to succed in life if it stays where it should be within the mind.
