They both seem to be very interesting characters. But Mcomie is complaing that Fenwick called him the N-word, it was in the news, very specific issue. So, why is McComie being attacked here? WE need to wait and see if that is in deed the case. Because if that did happen all Trinidadians should be concerned, shouldn't we. Because one can conclude that if this does not bother you, then you are caoable of such actions yourself?
What's the big deal in calling ah man ah nigger nowadays especially in trinidad, loud steuupes!! them indians has been calling black ppl all kindah f@@kup names since they reach in 18 whatever, and black ppl been calling dem coolie since 18 whatever. i've been called nigga in trinidad on many occasions, till a thought it was meh name, and it was not by any foreigner but by locals. I rather for ah man to call me a nigger and give me a once in a life time oportunity, than to call me brother and stand in my way of progress. so which one will hurt more, ah man calling someting that is inappropriate or a man boxing food out yuh mouth ? = ask peltier.
WAW, I just do not know how to respond to this level of ignorance, I can onlu offer prayers and hope you see the light one day.
Brother by saying what yuh just said indicates to me that you never read one of my post in the past. i am the most voicerous person on this site when it comes to black conscious and race related topics. since i was 14 yrs old i decided to disassociate my self with babylon and the establishment, i saw the light long before you born youth till it almost blind my vision.
i was a junior member of NJAC and not only did i stop there, but i also went on to attain membership in many black activist ORG in the US and in europe. i was also one of the few trini's who rallied against the KKK when they came to NY NY in 2000 sending them packing. i also marched for justice on many human rights causes , for mumia , yusef hawkins, micheal grifith, amadu diallo, and many more, those are just some of my accolades so don't go there my friend, but there comes a time when you have to be true with your self and look reality in the face and render a fair verdict.
now i not defending terry fenwick or white ppl, i just don't believe micheal mc commie BC of what he did to those young men, IMO a man who could be so disruptive is capable of any thing. now on the nigger issue. i hate that f@@king word more than any black man on the planet, i remember telling my american cousins not to use that word in reference to me, and that's one of the reasons i don't support rap music period, i rearly listen to it, and when i do it's normally for reasons beyond me.
when i lived in trini fellas used to think i was on my way to the mental house BC of the way i used to flex back then. if you live in trini then one day you should take a ride up the churchhill Roosevelt, by K-Donna drive inn to be exact, there's a road off the highway, exit on that road leading to st helena and stop and look up, now i don't know if it's still there but when i was working as a temp for BWIA i used to see it all the time, written on the walls of K-donna drive in for the world to see was a slogan that read, NO NIGGERS ALLOWED something something something, by now i forgot the rest of the slogan, but i used to make it my business to ride through on my motor bike every morning and evening to and fro from work.
i don't know if yuh familiar with that area, but just in case yuh not, that area is predominantly indian and they're not friendly to black folks in the least, cause i work with them at the airport so i'm intimately acquainted with them. the looks i used to get from those ppl was so much like the ones yuh get from venturing into a hick redneck town in the south or upstate NY. in the old airpot itself, if you ever had reason to venture into the bathroom, on the walls told it all, nigger this nigger that and nigger the other, reading those things used to make me feel like i was in another country working, then at evenings i would go home to my own country.
that's just some of the ill's that plague trinidad which no one wants to talk about that should be addressed , two differant worlds bro, maybe three. so i didn't have to travel to another country to feel out of place , just a few miles to the east did the trick. to put it frankly, my point is this. being called nigger in trini is the norm in someplaces, and if the indians could use it freely and no body don't put it out there or make it an issue , then why not a man who was born in a society that frequently used that word along with others to demean and describe black folks for centuries. so what allyuh saying ? is only ah coolie could call a CREOLE!!! AH F@@KIN NAYGGGAAA ! BTW, doh waste yuh time saying no prayers for me, it have some men on here who is better deserving of those prayers. positive.
PS, i forgot being called ah caprye or capparre by ah indian dude who ah thought was my friend, only to find out from meh dougla friend who had an indian mother, that it meant no good theifing naayggaa.
