Allegations have been popping up left and right against this Mr. Warner in all sorts of dothishness over the past few months. Something is up with this man. Someone should launch an investigation into anything on him, i'm sure something will turn up. On a different note, i honestly dont think the colour of this journalist's skin matters if the words he "speaks" are correct. I am tired of these lazy politicians trying to create a racial divide in my country. Mr. Warner shape up before they put McNicolls on you too! P.S. If the current state of the UNC is viewed as disciplined, then it is no wonder our country is in the state it is. Not that it is the fault of the UNC but the fault of the government which they are a part of.
Racist comments by Warner
Posted: 2006-05-10 01:18:30 AM
Does it matter what colour someone is when they "harass, intimidate, and push" you around Mr Warner?? Why should it make a difference what "colour" they are? If you have a grouse with somone - fine... deal with them accordingly. By suggesting that your response to a "white" person would somehow be different only serves to prove that you are a racist and by extension completely unfit to be a representative of the pluralistic society that is Trinidad and Tobago. Then again, I think most sensible people in this country know this and in time the polls will reflect this. Instead, I suggest you focus your energies on keeping close to your white god-father Sepp Blatter.
Warner Paranoid
Posted: 2006-05-10 01:56:45 AM
There seems to be enemies behind every bush, as far as Mr. Warner is concerned. He cannot be in politics and public life and not expect to be scrutinized in a public way. Warner needs to be openly transparent at all times; and be available to public overview.
Warner Slams British Journalist

why does Jack feel it neccesary to say "especially a white foreigner" ? Does he carry a chip on his shoulder about white people? if this was a white person saying similliar things the local press would be all over it screaming racism.
Mr Warner's antics
Posted: 2006-05-09 11:32:52 PM
Dear Jack, with the UNC claiming to be an 'all inclusive' party, imagine my dismay to hear you use the phrase'..especially a white foreigner'. Remember Jack that in politics..you can be in one day and in the dog house the next. As Deputy Political Leader of the prominent UNC you should not be so easily 'thin- skinned' toward 'comments' written about you.Your claim to fame is Football and your business savy, nothing more..nothing less...o..and those 'arm- chair critics'who do othing to solve problems, you can put yourself in that category as well. Stop criticizing Jack, stop working for a select few and work for us all!
White? So what!
Posted: 2006-05-10 03:58:24 AM
What on earth has the foreign journalists's race got to do with this? Would Jack have rolled over and admitted guilt if the journalist were black? I think not. If so, why mention race? This is exactly the sort of petty nonsense that T&T has to move beyond if we are ever going make progress as a nation.
Is Jack Warner given to conspiracy theories?
Posted: 2006-05-10 05:28:31 AM
It might appear so due to his public fights with Lasana Liburd whom he accused of trying to assasinate his character. Now a journalist was imported solely to harass him? He needs to take stock of his numerous allegations before he loses all credibility in the public eye.
A Nice Way To Stay In The Limelight.

As a national and international public figure, one has to be subject to scrutiny. The media is used to promote positive results for oneself and one's organisation so why should not the media be allowed to check and or validate the supposedly negative aspects?
Warner Shut UP
Posted: 2006-05-10 03:02:11 AM
Warner should learn how to deal with critics. By so bravly saying, and I am quoting "No Foreigner, particularly a white foreigner will come to my country and harrass me, intimidate me and push me aroud" one can question if it would be a little better if a black foreigner was to come and intimidate him. Look past the color lines Warner, and tackle what the true problem is.
Does colour or nationality matter?
Posted: 2006-05-10 07:40:23 AM
Why would a person in Warner's position as a FIFA vice president and the deputy political leader of a National party in our country describe someone as a "white foriegner" in such a derogatory manner? Is he showing his true colours? How do I explain statements like this to my "white foriegn" friends? Please bring your tourism income, but not your opinion, especially if you are white. Such much for "every creed and race". With so called leaders like that, TnT will always be divided, and easier to rule by like government representatives. Maybe, we (the people) need these outsiders to show us that we do not have to accept what you think we want to hear.
Like Jack is a racist too.
Posted: 2006-05-10 09:17:58 AM
So much for the unity talks of the UNC. Since a Deputy Chairman of the UNC and FIFA representive, can use statements containing words like "especially a white..." with a racial tone, to describe a human being. I wonder what FIFA would say if they knew how you felt about whites. Jack yuh showing your two face side AGAIN. HYPOCRITE!!!!
Grow up Jack
Posted: 2006-05-10 10:11:28 AM
I really thought that we lived in a society where we could freedom of speech was allowed but apparently this is not the case. The comment Mr. Warner made, "No foreigner, particularly a white foreigner will come to my country and harass me, intimidate me and push me around," was just uncalled for and actually very childish. He makes himself sound illiterate.
WARNER'S STATEMENT.
Posted: 2006-05-10 10:39:56 AM
Once again we have another racial statement being made in the press by Mr. Warner, "No foreigner, particularly a WHITE foreigner will come to my country and harass me .....". Come on Mr. Warner as a "wanna be" politician you should no better, especially knowing that your Country is multi racial. Further more if you have nothing to hide why are you upset?
Warner And Rio Claro
Posted: 2006-05-10 11:36:55 AM
My Name is Anthony Stewart a native of Rio Claro. I was born and raised in Rio Claro. I left Rio in 1988 for the USA. I am currently sponsoring a soccer team comprising of Underpriviledge youths from the cemetary area. With all the influence and resources Mr. Warner has as a sports manager, he has never offered a penny towards the development of sport in the area. All the youths of Rio have to look forward too, is being consumers of puncheon as sports have given way to crime and drugs. Now Mr. Warner is looking for support from the people of rio Claro. Please don't play politics with poor people.
IS Warner prejudice?
Posted: 2006-05-10 11:44:35 AM
For a man who is in the public eye and is supposedly intelligent I think that his statement is uncouth.Freedom of speech sir? I guees Mr Warner has never heard of this.It is people like him that cite violence and racial prejudice in this country!!Mr Warner have some diplomacy!!
Shame on him
Posted: 2006-05-10 11:45:52 AM
Regarding Jack Warner's comment on Andrew Jennings, "a white foreigner", there are much more effective words for discrediting your critics. For someone of Mr. Warner's stature and apparent prestige, his comment is certainly one of an ignoramus! Shame on you.

If Jack Warner is above board on things, and I mean corruption free, etc. why is he worried about a foreign journalist? He must be really worried, because he resorts to the racial name calling. He increases my doubts about his integrity when he describes the UNC as a "disciplined party." What has he been smoking?

Jack Warner + the FIFA
Posted: 2006-05-10 12:33:27 AM
The former Egyptian Minister Of Sport was forced to resign office over well-founded allegations he had bribed Jack Warner to secure his vote for Egypt as the locale for the World Cup. Whenever I meet someone from the Middle East this is the only thing they seem to know about T&T yet it appears no one else in T&T is aware of this connection.
Ironic Isn't it
Posted: 2006-05-10 1:03:41 PM
"No foreigner, particularly a white foreigner will come to my country and harass me, intimidate me and push me around," said Warner. This is Mr. Warners' sentiments about an individual. Yet in the same breath he uttered this one Warner, who was speaking in his birth village Rio Claro, said "those were happy days, growing up as a little black boy in a predominantly East Indian community", an experience which has helped him in adult life. Apparently it has not not helped him at all or else he would have learned to be tolerant of all people.
The "Brutish" people
Posted: 2006-05-10 1:04:45 PM
Yes sir! So the British are back. Warner is correct! No british journalist should be harassing any bonafide Trinidadian regardless of class, creed or race. I think that the British, especially those of White caucasian extract, has had enough of us. They need to leave us alone! The last vestiges of the culture of colonialism must disappear from the T&T landscape. England does not own us! T&T is a republic and we will not succumb to anymore oppression by White "brutish" slavemasters. Johnny Coomansingh

it's a damn shame for the people of trinidad to have a leader in that high position to say something like that. especially when he is talking about unity when our boys qualified for the world cup.
UNC sholud ask for Warner's resignation
Posted: 2006-05-10 09:22:14 AM
The UNC pary should ask for Mr. Warner's immediate resignation, and distance themself from such racial association. In addition, FIFA should be made sent the article. Mr. Warner, you have no business in the political arena, for years alleged corruption have followed you, and for the future, it does not show sign of going away. From where I stand, I will not vote for any party you represent. Please quit while you are ahead, it is not if you will get caught, it's when....and like it or not that day will come.

INDIANS AND BLACKS ?
Posted: 2006-05-10 1:29:12 PM
When ever i am questions about the true RACE of Trinidad & T, i give a fair ratio of 40% EastIndian and 40%Blacks. The two running parties in trinidad is a classic example of this. the blacks against the indians. Maybe this is why things are not running so smoothly, we need to work together. It is sad to hear such a prominent figure in the country single out someone such as Jennings not only by his nationality, but his RACE. This AGAIN, is why we cannot work together if at least someone in this position does not set an example. Watch the school boys and girls who look up to football now call other races by that itself or worst ETHNIC SLURS
Sad.
Posted: 2006-05-10 1:53:34 PM
Warner is an embarrasment to Trinidadians worldwide and especially white Trinidadians. Why do we put up with this crap in Trinidad?
Wasteful utterances.
Posted: 2006-05-10 2:12:58 PM
why is precious time wasted publishing Jack's utterances? Use the space for what is uplifting and positive. He simply gets too much airplay. DC, Turks and Caicos Islands.
What sort of behaviour is that?
Posted: 2006-05-10 2:19:03 PM
Obviously one does not need to be diplomatic or exhibit non-racist behaviour to rise through the ranks in T&T politics. Imagine if Tony Blair made a similar comment in the uk? Even if the politicians can hold such petty immature views, we the Trinis have to show we can be 115% (including VAT) better than them. DOWN WITH RACISM AND PETTY POLITICS!

Admit to yourself that you are racist, and begin the recovery process from there.

Dear Mr Warner, I am due to come home Yes come home because despite living in England for 14 years I still consider Trinidad as home. you know what I am afraid to come home because people cannot walk the street without fear of being gunned down and all you could study is your reputation. Well I don't care about your reputation the politicians on both sides fail to get to grip of what runing a country is all about and all you could think about is your reputation? what are you doing with the government to curve the crime spree in Trinidad? what are you doing with the government to get rid of those sick sick people who molests children? What are you doing with the government to help old people and the undemployed? Let me answer the questions for you NOTHING but yet you are worried about YOUR REPUTATION. Start doing your jobs then maybe the people of Trinidad and Tobago would someday care about you. As they would say in England "pull your finger out"!
Mr Warner
Posted: 2006-05-10 5:29:59 PM
As a frequent "white English" visitor to T&T I am appaled at Mr Warners paranoia. Is this man really fit for office of any kind? Is he really the kind of man T&T wants to represent it in the world? T&T only makes the news in the UK for it's Murder rates - on occasions the Football team. Why isn't Mr Warner doing something about that? As far as I am aware - no particular group colour or race is doing the killing - it is just Trini's.
Loose Cannon
Posted: 2006-05-10 5:33:03 PM
Jack Warner is simply a loose Cannon. He should stick to FIFA and leave politics alone. No right thinking person would ever believe a fast talker whose only remedy is to cast racial remarks at those who question their corrupt dealings. It is time we all understand that people have a right to question our dealings when we serve the public. If we can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen and this is not a black and white issue Jack!
Let me warn you Warner

Warner has not responded with the facts to discount the accusations
Posted: 2006-05-10 8:11:42 PM
I read the article in the newspaper and was really surprised at how corrupt Mr. Warner really is. I would not want this man in any position of power since it seems that corruption is in his soul. I challenge Mr. Warner to present his side of the story so that we can really understand if the accusations are valid. By the racist comments I imagine he has no other defence.

I have guardedly observed Mr. Warner's antics over the years and quite honestly, his loyalty baffles me. Is he loyal to country, party or personal economics. Personally, I do not trust him because he is blatantly self-serving and nothing good will come out of this. Mark my words, I am seldom wrong about things of such nature. Trini in NY.
Jack Warner - Why play the race card?
Posted: 2006-05-10 8:49:34 PM
Oops! there he goes again. Jack Warner needs to zip it or maybe think before he talks or maybe consult with his nerdy, Sociology Professor, brother. Then again the whole Warner clan are just a bunch of arrogant ... you know what.
