PM speaks up on prejudice

image from aplangomam.weebly.comAll of a sudden Prime Minister Christie is concerned about racism. The problem is it’s not the racism among Bahamians toward each other or even the least among us, (our Haitian brothers and sisters), it's about the Chinese.

Had he stopped there and added that prejudice is wrong no matter which race is being targeted he might have been deserving of applause. But his real concern is this “prejudice” he refers to – it was really a cute a play on words – does – “…not bode well for the government’s relationship with the EXIM Bank and CCA, both of which are investing significantly in The Bahamas.”

In other words prejudice only matters if it might impact the proverbial “cookie jar”.

Sums up a lot about the politics that gets played. In other words, prejudice is overlooked if the benefits turn into votes or dollars for their cause.

So sad.
