Emancipation, freedom, what's that and where?
You are kidding your selves ain't you?
Keep dreaming for pennies from above.
Emancipation my black ass. Don't you see the poor state of the Caribbean. We were far better off with the WHITE COLONIZERS than under today's BLACK COLONIZERS in the persons of; in the case of St. Lucia; the politicians currently "governing"? our country.
They use us, abuse us, they piss in our eyes and call it rain; whilst they lavish our hard earned tax dollars which they take from our salaries directly; and indirectly from every good and service we buy; and get fat on the hog; travel from here to 'thy kingdom come' and take us for asses.
We might as well remain with Britain. We would be far better off.
To crown it all; they force upon us something called the CCJ. Which sounds like Crass Court of Just Us.
Boy, I just wish I could parlay all those tales about emancipation to get me a hand of green bananas to eat.
Something that is remarkable about all this emancipation crap is that, it is not being used to improve our standard of living.
I am very sick and tired of people from the Caribbean just romanticizing their roots, but not those aspects that positively guide them to higher heights in terms of economic achievement and status.
I want news I can use. Don't give me any other crap.
For starters, there is still tribalism in Africa and the various tribes have not even reconciled the selling of one another to the white slavers. Up to now that is still buried without any discussion of reconciliation. We in the Caribbean cannot do that for them.
Next, people in these parts know not one damn thing about which part of Africa they really belong specifically. Nigerian pregnant mothers are still leaving Lagos travelling to birth their babies deep in the hinterland to claim tribal rights and privileges. So all this "my brother" crap is totally and meaninglessly superficial. And the born Africans know that.
No tribe will accept you unless you are pure. Those that are too similar in features scar their faces with tribal marks to re-enforce the difference. Caribbean people therefore are not black enough. Get that in your head.
Coming from the Caribbean, you may be tolerated for a while, but you are not really welcome. Please don't keep on fooling yourselves.
At emancipation time, there was still a very large amount of discrimination. The planters freed themselves of all obligations. Their former chattel were left with just the clothing on their backs. In contrast, the Indians that they paid to replace them were given parcels of land for working just a few years.
The deal is not done yet.
No African volunteered to become property and be taken to the Caribbean.
We must get reparation from Britain for their version "man's inhumanity to man." Everything else our jokers are writing about is just a blasted waste of my time.
Saint Lucians love to hear themselves shoot pure shate.
These people are just as comical as our bullshit politicians. Crap talkers all of them.
When the Prime Minister of Saint Lucia repeated his gross self-pitying incompetence by saying 'We are all in this together', we note the awkward silence that followed in CARICOM circles. Nobody, but nobody echoed his mantra.
Unfortunately, he did not get the message.
He, like most Saint Lucians who live in great expectations that someone from outside will save them from their own gross incompetence, returned from that recent Heads of Government Meeting quite empty handed. This cultural poverty of self-development and self-driven direction is here being repeated, accentuated by harking back to a very sordid cultural history of tribal and ethnic atrocities, to lay direct blame for our current state of continued national underdevelopment. And that is 30 years plus since independence!
The evidence is that with such exercises, we have already failed! And we will remain in failure mode.
We have already failed because we are doing the same things over and over and are expecting a different result. Emancipation Panel my big toe!
Emancipation should not even be marked with any kind of celebration. I repeat. Emancipation should not even be observed by any kind of celebration!
We do this and pathetically continue to diminish and undervalue ourselves as a people, when we do such.
Our freedom was something that was always ours. We were robbed; it was NO damn gift!
And that is so, even though this fact is not fundamentally recognized and shared by the world's two largest blocks of religious belief systems: the equally piously phony Judeo-Christian faith, and the hyperbolic Moslem faith.
The Prime Minister of St. Lucia's father is supposed to be a white plantation owner.
His mother was said to be a black woman who worked as a labourer on the estate (vast acres of land) of his said father.
It is said that his father never accepted himself and his siblings as his own.
Maybe during the so-called discussions on so-called emancipation; which by the way, in my view is a whole bunch of crap; Kenny by now should have had more than enough time to study the phenomenon of those white plantation owners who engaged in sexual intercourse with the labourers (women) on those plantations and where children came to the surface; the men did not accept them.
That would certainly be some enlightenment. Instead of all the bull-crap talk. Talk to the facts facing us here in St. Lucia in the face. He (KENNY ANTHONY) is a living example of this phenomenon.
