Questions for ‘Let’s move on’
March 19, 2013Dear Sir,To Mr or Ms ‘Let’s Move On”, are you willing to continue this conversation? If so, may I ask a few questions to clarify some of your statements. You may respond in your next Letter/s to the Editor.1. Please explain why you call Africa a continent of great corruption.2. Do you believe that the European slave traders were not a people of and not from a country of extreme corruption?3. Name the “White Continent” to which you are referring.4. Would you say they are trying to anger and inflame with films like ‘Schindler’s List’ and ‘The Pianist’ or literature like ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ and ‘The Upstairs Room’?5. Why do you call our last Government a black Government?6. What colour is our current Government?7. Are you frustrated in feeling that whites have given enough to blacks already?8. What importance would you give to the following wants from Government workers?n more positions equal to their skill, education, qualification, intelligence and ability.n others to stop saying they are being babysat or lazy or deem it immoral to prefer to work nine to five.n their children and their children’s schools to stop being insulted.9. Are there any other actions by residents of Bermuda that you would describe as racially inflammatory and that you will address?10. How are the histories told by Ira Philip inflammatory?11. Who would you prefer to tell Bermuda’s story? Why?12. Why do you separate the black experience as black history instead of calling it Bermuda History?13. What parts of Bermuda’s history would you suggest be left out so as not to inflame?14. How old are you?15. Will your next letter address white Bermudians?16. Have you ever considered that:A. the private schools in Bermuda might be a great divider?B. employers who refuse to hire Bermudians might be a great divider?C. pervasive, historical lack of opportunity and support, by all sectors, for young black men, might lead to feelings of hopelessness?17. Am I wrong in sensing that you have a fear that black people might be getting out of hand?18. Are you willing to reflect, and seriously admit that there is nothing from your personal legacy that impacts you today?Looking forward to your next letter/s addressing the above.C GRIFFINHamilton
