Black race is most talented, but . . .

The positive side of the black race’s talents reveals their superiority in sport, music, art, dance, academics, physique, cuisine, friendliness, humour, theatre etc. But, these positives are destroyed by lack of effort, laziness, exploitation by fellow blacks at the top, who should instead help their fellowmen, gullibility instead of thinking things through, copy cat mentality, out after the wrong things, lack of good family lives in their homes, too many irresponsible biological parents, resulting in fathers deserting their children resulting in five, six or more half-brothers and sisters in one house, a lack of parental interest in their children’s education, resulting in nineteen-year-olds leaving school illiterate, the lack of meaningful ambition, a total lack of discipline due to being too emancipated. Please wake up, my black brothers and sisters, and become what God meant you to be. Make the effort, be truly honest, loving and supportive and not be envious of others after wasting your time and money and opportunities by allowing your wants to supersede your needs, and then cry that you are poor and expect to get everything free. Wake up my black brothers and sisters, and grasp the many wonderful opportunities that are available to you in blessed Trinidad and Tobago.

Why is it that East Indians who were freed from indentureship more than 100 years after the African slaves were freed from slavery, the Chinese, Syrians and others who arrived much later, have been successful? Why have the blacks replaced the Indians by 100 percent as vagrants and beggars in Port-of-Spain between the 1950’s and presently when black governments have ruled TT for all but five years since our independence?

Do not allow anyone to brainwash you and especially your children for their own selfish gains and purposes, and destroy you.

Stay open-minded and positive about the right things in life regardless. Let us all make the effort to love one another in an unselfish way and move forward to make Trinidad and Tobago more successful and the greatest country in the world, living together in racial harmony because unity breeds success and this is how God wants us to be.
