The term “born Bermudian” should be relegated to the scrap heap like other terms that discriminate against the people of a country. There should be no difference in Bermuda society that is based on where a person is born.

Any attempt to divide the country through crude populism and identify politics should be harshly condemned by the governement in power. Sadly, the current governement does not do so. They have the power to change Bermuda society but unless they can act courageously as a national government for all Bermudians they will fail.

“Ms. Foggo. Why is it that the scholarships, bursaries and awards given out by this administration are only awarded to certain races?”

That must be a rhetorical question. We all know why. The more things change.

Ms. Foggo. Why is it that the scholarships, bursaries and awards given out by this administration are only awarded to certain races? Based on Premier Burt’s (fairer Bermuda) speech these awardees should be a reflection of the people of this country. How is it that time and time again we see these awards only being distributed to members of one race.

Don’t ask me to pay taxes, duty and everything else and know that my children and grandchildren will be overlooked.

For those of you that think I am exaggerating or overreacting just search scholarships.. and look at all the photo opps.

Thank you, abundantly, Minister Foggo.
The former government did not even care about born Bermudians’ furthering of their education.
Thank God above for their swift departure July 18, 2017.
Continue on with the fantastic work of THIS government….simply putting Bermudians first.
By the way, the comment from Jean Atherden was sheer jealousy. Oba are very, very, very, sore losers.Put Trevor Moniz at the very top of that list!

Between this the Barbara Ball Scholarships, the Ministry of Education scholarships, the PLP couldn’t find at least one minority worthy of such awards.

Diversity for thee, but not for me says the PLP.

And before anyone responds lets not forget your ‘outrage’ when one more than one token minority was granted scholarships a few years back.
