I must confess that I do not have the time to check out this Forum as often as I would like. However after I read the Editorial in the Amandala I figured that someone would bring it up on this board. Tonight I read all seven pages and what was suposed to be a discussion of the Amandala editorial appears to have become a free for all to see how low can we go in insulting each other. A little bit of fun is good at times, but as my Grandma used to say 'all play and no work makes Johnny a dull boy'.
My friends, especially those Belizeans on this Board, our country is going to hell. Have you read or heard about the recent BTL sellout? Everything that was once in the hands of Belizeans is being "privatized" to the highest foreign "crook", the Govt. Printers, the Port, the Airport, Electricity Board, the Water Board.
As Belizeans we all know that there is pseudo discrimination in Belize. Now why can't we intelligently discuss the issues raised in the editorial? I say pseudo discrimination, because Belize does not have that many white people so we have white/ black issues as in the US. In Belize we are talking about different shades of brown. Its also a fact that the government especially one of the political parties does not really want any more Black people in Belize so we will not see any Haitian refugees in Belize anytime soon. "reason dem wan all be Black". Now if the problem was in Honduras or one of the other Central American countries, no problema, "dem cud come in". Is there a reason for this? You bet, and I call it ethnic purification, we will not get to the stage of ethnic clensing as in some other countries. There is no need for the latter, just let our Latin paisanos trickle across the boarder, live in Belize and get citizenship. Eventually de Black creole dem wan come da states, and we will have all the type of people whom the Guatemalans love so that when they take over the country, they will all be the same. Think about this folks, we are losing our country "lee bit by lee bit". Have fun on this board, but also think about the important issues and Belizeans let us do something about the problems facing our country.
The sky is not falling , yet, but don't wait until that happens because then it will be too late.
