“We won’t even get into what happened to the Native Americans or aborigines. ”

Why not?
Are you afraid of the truth? The fact that it was black people who stole natives from their land and sold them as slaves?
Why are you so afraid of black history?

“Tis time ‘youpeople’ opened your eyes.
Do you tell Jews to stop seeing things??
Do you tell women stop crying sexual harrasment everytime her boss send her sexually explicit text??
Do you tell the indigenous people to stopping crying fowl when a government pumps oil through their sacred land???
Do you even know what it’s like to have a person use subliminal messages to attack you? Hurt you! Mock you! Deman you? Try to put you in your place? Than stop telling me HOW To FEEL!!”

Do you tell gay people they’ve made a choice, are committing a sin and should not have the same rights as everyone else?
Yes, you do!

What if it was a black person, a business owner, a PLP supporter, who put up a post suggesting a group of white protesters should be handled that way? Of course there would be cries for a boycott. Come on now.

It does not matter if it’s “drawn and quartered”, “hung from a tree”, “placed under the guillotine” or “burned at the stake”. Any alluding to the method is a distraction from the motive of the post and how it offended a varied cross section of the community.

@point boy, i was responding to the comment made by one of your buddies talking about if the plp made the legislation. Anyways you know what im talking about, but you want to play dumb and defelect and be technical. And yes he is an OBA guy. For the premier to personally tell him to apoligize what that makes him? Just because he is not in parliment or a minister does not mean him and the oba share the same old oligarchy mentality. And for the fact govt have not revoked his license for the horseshoe bay beach concession stand says a whole lot. But who cares what white supremacists like u think. U alls time is up anyways…

Take a better look and you will see people of all colors benefitting and they tend to be the ones who are working hard and not dwelling on race based politics. I know how your mind works and this is too good an opportunity for you to let pass it is really the only hope that the PLP have – dividing us racially. I am not going to defend RO but I do think that this is getting blown way out of proportion and you are loving it. Shame.

The PLP branded the protests against the Uighurs as a lynch mob and Burgess claimed the COI was a lynch mob.

This is nothing to do with a lynch mob. In your rush to scream racism you are mixing up things.

Well because there has been 400 years of the race game,and one race benefitted and still beneftting, and another race suffered and still suffering from the race game, it’s kinda hard to determine what is and what is not.

The point she had with white mental illness was how white people (USED to?) hang and murder Black people without remorse.

The world is such a state because of the of them….check their history: Australia, New Zealand, America, India, China, Caribbean, England and Bermuda they have consistently imposed their rule, views and laws upon people they have deemed savages, inferior, needing (of their concepts) etc.

I wouldn’t say across the board that whites suffer from mental illness. However, when you look back to slavery days when whites would go over and capture humans beings, stuff them in the hold of a ship like cargo, hardly feed them, throw them overboard if they were sick, take them in chains and auction them off, beat them until they bled, sexually assault the women, separate families by selling off the children, lynch them, etc. etc. etc. did have to involve the traits of psychopaths-yet it was accepted as perfectly normal. We won’t even get into what happened to the Native Americans or aborigines. This happened for generations and whites didn’t feel it was wrong. To many blacks, that would make one think there had to be mass mental illness involved to justify that and consider it normal. If it was not abolished, would it still be going on today with whites thinking it was fine? Just keeping it real for a minute, Bernews-we’re all adults here. I’m not saying I accept what some people think, but I can understand why they would think it, based on past experience.

It was the suggestion of lynching that got everyone riled up. That is still a sore topic in the black community, TD. They actually sold postcards of blacks hung and things like that-and there are people still alive today who lived during that horrible period. We have to be careful of justifying too much what he did while accepting that many of us have also said such things about those of other races, and then offering forgiveness and moving on.

Maybe as a gesture of goodwill he could make a donation to CURB or something like that? That’s what I would do. In any case, everyone is picking on one man to the point where it’s getting ridiculous. What he did was foolish-you can think anything you want but once you say or act on it, it gets you into situations like this. There’s nothing I hate more than a hypocrite and I am a very fair person and half the people attacking this man have said far worse in their own company than he did. He was foolish and juvenile and didn’t think this through but as I said in my other comment, don’t turn him into a pariah. What more is the guy supposed to do? Let’s move on already.

If, if, if….this isn’t a case about if’s. Why is the OBA saying it’s racist, if it’s not? Why did the Premier make him apologize? Stop making excuses, and talking about if this or if that. He’s a white man, the protesters were predominantly black, and we all know the historical method of dealing with disobedient blacks. He was out of order, and you know it.

Lynched, Yes.
Hung, Drawn and Quartered, No.
That punishment was reserved for crimes of treason, which blocking Parliament gates would qualify as.

Agreed, this is what happens when people want to play the race card. They see race issues everywhere.

Let’s follow the bouncing ball.

Hanged, drawn and quartered is a punishment for high treason.

High treason is criminal disloyalty to one’s government for example, attempting to overthrow its government.

Its not like he put up a picture of a gibbet, that would be a little harder to explain.

Its about time you people stop seeing everything as racist.

Just think, if the mob blocking the HOA had been white & the same person had made the same posting, there would not be a word of protest. It would be ha,ha,ha & all over & forgotten the next day.

It is not so much what was posted but who posted it that is basis for the uproar in some quarters. What makes the post racist when all of the characters in the post are white. The victim is white. The punishment was carried out in white medieval Europe. They did not know Africa existed at that time.

In 2017 there are some people who need to get down off their high self righteous horses.
