If our black males stayed in school, and went on to further education, they would be right up there with their white counterparts.

“blacks and whites will never “come together” because whites have historically always exploited and taken advantage of every culture who isn’t white.”

So do black. Who do you think brought natives to Bermuda, as slaves? Why don’t you ever talk about your own sordid past?

“Blacks need to create our institutions and practice group economics in order to catch up to the 400 year financial and economic head start whites have enjoyed”

But, they won’t. They’re sitting on a wall expecting handouts.

” Until then foreigners will continue to come to our island and take jobs locals could do. ”

Have you, or anyone you know, ever ‘taken’ a job? Unless the business is your own, you’re given a job, based on your skills and willingness to work.

This seems to be what a large majority of Bermudians don’t understand….you have to work for it, don’t expect it to be handed to you.

If Sir John had addressed race relations and the social fabric of the community when he was Premier, instead of many times saying we did not have a black and white issue in Bermuda, we may of moved on but because of his support to the elitist, he missed the boat, IMHO. Sorry he’s part of the problem we are now in 2017 facing such discrimination. If the people’s campaign did not include him in the negotiations last year, a different outcome may of prevailed. ‘Winning the black votes is what has him out in the public. OBA pitting one black former leader against the other. and of course he allowing himself to their poster child.

You should listen to the man.

Personally, I hope he runs again. He’ll get my vote

“Honestly what has he really done to help?!”

What have you done?

“People are suffering and our sons are killing each other”

Sounds like a parenting issue, perhaps you should take some responsibility for your children.

“He has done nothing to truly help the community! Does he even offer scholarships?!”

demanding handouts again?

I respect John Swan a great deal. However, blacks and whites will never “come together” because whites have historically always exploited and taken advantage of every culture who isn’t white. Blacks need to create our institutions and practice group economics in order to catch up to the 400 year financial and economic head start whites have enjoyed. Until then foreigners will continue to come to our island and take jobs locals could do. The same locals who’s ancestors helped make this island what it is.

Why is it that whites are mere economically well off Sir John? What is your opinion on this?

By: Onion Juice

Onion Juice — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 16:01:39 +0000

So Blacks have to sell ourselves out and bow down to be economically secure.

Honestly what has he really done to help?! Other than help himself and make his pockets fatter! He has done nothing to truly help the community! Does he even offer scholarships?! All we hear is blah blah blah! People are suffering and our sons are killing each other. Quit it with the lip service John Swan and we are not interested in hearing it or put your money where your mouth is, or just keep quiet.
