Get ready to be very unhappy for a long time.

The point that I wanted to convey is that racism works both ways and CURB only seem to highlight what suits their agenda (whatever that is). I have been here all my life, went to public school, sang “jesus loves the little children” every morning, and I have never known the races to be as polarized as much as they are now. I blame politics for this and I think curb are more political than they are genuinely concerned about creating harmony. My opinion of course.

And as silly as some thought a Johnny Barnes statue was at least it was paid for with private donations.
We all know that you’d really love to have a statue that evokes hate at every junction in Bermuda though.
And what is this current day ‘how we ARE treated’ all about ? You haven’t got a clue what horrible treatment is.
And finally, the Jews are able to honor their holocaust because it was a result of an illegal war in relatively recent times.
As horrible as (all) slavery was , and it still exists you know , it only became illegal once it was outlawed in the west by those people over in Britain that you love to hate .

Yet we still get hypnotized with Brother Johnny Barns statue with the “just smile and wave” attitude regardless how we are treated, which should have been the spot where the Sally Bassett’s statue should have been as it is the area were she was gruesomely tortured while burned at the stake.
Some of us will continue to advocate justice for those who experienced the 400 years of HORROR that our ancsestors endured just like how the Jews honour their Holocust.
