It’s most likely because he was appointed by Trump. Trump could discover the cure for Cancer and they would still hate him. SMH!

More than crime. More than accidents. More than cancer, heart disease and AIDS. Abortion has taken more Black American lives than every other cause of death combined since 1973. In the United States, the abortion rate for Black women is almost 4 times that of White women. On average, 900 Black babies are aborted every day in the United States. This tragedy continues to impact the population levels of African Americans in the United States.

More than 20 million Black babies have been aborted since 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in the US.

Black women have a significantly higher abortion rate than Whites and Hispanics.

38.0% of all abortions in the U.S. in 2016 were performed on Black women, however, only about 13.4% of the total population is Black  Where is all the marching for this genoside?

I’m sorry that the bottom of the barrel is good enough for you… but it isn’t for many others here in Bermuda.

We have had great representation from the U.S.A . We would do well to appreciate everything that America does for us . ” Keep the end in view .” It only means that many of us as Bermudians , are short-sighted .

Black Lives Matter..let us stand aling our streets n tell it to evety black young man/older man that rides, walks and drives by. How many children are without fathers, how mant mothers/partners continue to mourn, struggle with housingm feeding, clothing, etc. Stand against BLM in your homeland before protesting anywhere else.

We have become the bottom of everything. Until we understand we have one thing incoming, we are human and until then we will be lead by people with personal agendas That don’t benefit us.

Why in this day and age Bermudian some of our people still fear speaking out against the wrongs committed by the United States of America/ American leaders? Bermuda has been a friend to the US for centuries. True friends speak the truth to friends, even when that truth may be hard for that friend to accept. Even the current thin skinned President of the United States needs to hear and read the truth, especially from a friend. Evil prevails when good men and women do or say nothing….

Is he a racist, or, is this because he was appointed by Trump and people don’t like Trump (I can’t stand Trump) .I’m not seeing what this Appointment has to do with BLM. There are genuine reasons to protest re BLM, but to piggyback. Personal dislike for Trump is wrong, If his guy is a racist, then why would he even want to come to our black majority country. Makes no sense.

These are two separate protests. I’m 100% behind BLM, but to lump in the Trump appointment devalues the message. We want justice and we want change to US law enforcement procedures and Better screening of hires to prevent this form ever happening again. We want due punishment for those that were involved in his death. We want a better America and the senseless deaths to stop. BLM

There are many other more important things to protest about than this appointment. Based on information from where, not CNN I hope.

Actually the Republican controlled Senate rejected his appointment. That’s how bad he is I guess.

So, we got to rise above the rest of the other islands. If Barbados do it shall we follow? Why? You all be the 1 st ones crying because you cant get car rentals. Oh by the way its happened before. Before you go there, I’m a black Bermudian that loves to travel. So to deny someone because they affiliated with Trump you feel will solve your minor problems? This is absurbed. We are 20 fri88in miles big. Cant be seen on the map and you want to play like we the boss. Ok, USA dont need us. WE NEED THEM. Go try flying to NYC, Boston, Philly, Atl etc and denied entry, oh I told you so, Bermudians are cry babies. Embarrassing

These are all niceties, but not standing up for what one believes because certain privileges may be taken away is not a reason anyone should be comfortable sleeping at night with.

How did you determine that this has “nothing to do with us locals”?

Agree. I will also add that we need to stop flattering ourselves thinking Bermuda is as special to others as it is to us. Diplomats are not knocking down the doors asking to be stationed in Bermuda. We get the bottom of the barrel.

We did forgive Minister Caines for his comments in the UK about “titty milk” . Surely with 110 churches preaching forgiveness, we can forgive President Trump’s recommendations for the few remaining months of his tenure?

This protest seems to have nothing to do with us locals. All it will do is make it much harder for us to travel. How long ago was it that WE BERMUDIANS COULD NOT RENT cars in USA? So be careful what you ask for. We are aware how abrupt and not much of a thinker the President is. So how about ALL BERMUDIANS needs a Visa, or how about BDA blocked all together from entering USA? Dont think he wont, he did it to China (covid19) So use common sense here, after all dont bite the arm that you shoppers will need…
