Curb, People’s Campaign, BIU are all the PLP need to retain power.

Please explain how the OBA practically ran the entire island into the ground?

Was it the revitalization of the tourism industry via the formation of the BTA?

Was it more than halving the inherited PLP $400mn deficit?

Was it procuring an international sporting event to our shores?

Was it getting major developments off of the ground (ie hotels & airports)?

Was it returning our consolidated fund audits back to unqualified status (note that the PLP’s first audit saw it returned to qualified once again)?

I challenge you….no I dare you to provide examples of your claims. b

The OBA practically ran the entire island into the ground ? ? I think we’ve all heard some pretty outrageous BS lately but now my head is really spinning.
So , here’s a quick , simple question for you . There is no doubt that confidence in Bda has plummeted since the last election . Why do you think that is ?

Do you even have the slightest clue what you’re talking about?

Really? You’re still scrounging for ways to slam the PLP after the OBA practically ran the entire island into the ground? Please at least TRY to read a book that doesn’t already agree with you. Just once in a while.

So, basically, your logic is “can’t win, don’t try.”

While nihilism might be popular in some philosophical circles, it isn’t the slightest bit helpful in this particular situation.

CURB is fulfilling its goal of keeping racial issues burning bright and to ensure it is front of mind. Ignore the spin budget, focus on the important stuff, like keeping a portion of the population angry and feeling as if it owed stuff!

Really? Show me this apparent systematic racism that some whites complain about that doesn’t exist. There is only ONE form of racism and that’s white supremacy

Wait a minute, when did the PLP say they wasnt going through with the inquiry and commission on that?

Are you “poorly spelled sign lady”? Or are you “l’ll have a smoothie on hunger strike if I’m hungry lady”?

The minute it defended the Minister’s racist insult against the Chief Justice, it lost all credibility.

If you aren’t willing to call out racism when your friends do it, you aren’t really an anti-racism group.

I agree with Straight Forward. Recent events prove that CURB is tone deaf when it comes to racist attacks on certain people in this community. Where was the statement from CURB or CURE last week when a white referee was racially abused and attacked at a football game in Somerset? Where were they when the walls were painted on North Shore? Had those attacked been directed at others in this community we would still be hearing about it – and rightly so. However, when attacks are directed at foreigners, whites, members of the LGBT community and even certain religions, hardly a word is said by these groups, government ministers, the BFA, and talk radio. Why has nobody been banned? Surely there is video tape! Surely someone knows these people. Why have no arrests been made? Why do we not hear much about these hate filled attacks? Because the government and these groups pretend to want equality for all, when we all know what they really care about. Themselves and their own friends, family, churches and agendas!

It only seems to matter to CURB, CURE, and Government Ministers when one segment of this population is affected, mistreated or attacked. Racism is NOT a black only issue. Call it what you want but it is about ignorant and unjustified hate! Race aside, attacking and abusing someone and hating them because they are different than you, is wrong! CURB, CURE, Ministers, Churches, when you ignore it – you support it!!!! When hatred is someday directed at you or your loved ones – and nobody reacts – well you will know why.

CURB is taking a very simplistic approach. The fact the PLP have dropped any inquiry into the Tucker’s Town land purchases shows even they know it is not a simple black/white issue. I’m sure they have discovered some very inconvenient truths as to wealth distribution that can’t be rectified.

Let’s repeal section 3 of the incentives for job makers act 2011 because these job makers are ‘certain types.’ We would rather not have the jobs they create than welcome them to Bermuda.

Racial injustices will continue, with or without CURB.
Hence, its function is useless, especially as it pertains to black people.RACISM in BERMUDA, IS WORSE.
Curb will not make any difference.
