: dont get me wrong,i dont want to devide harbor island,IDONT THINK THAT, ONE IS BETTER THEN THE OTHER.All im saying is that some of us dont take the time out to think about the poor man.Were does the poor man go should he die.Harbor island belongs to all of us white and black.We are all one, and i love all.I dont hait anyone, but treat my people right.If my grandfather did not see the future that does not give anyone the right to treat us like we are not people.So dont try to act like you all dont know what im ,getting at.why do some of you, all think that most native people arnt smart,But thats why the new kid on the block is home.My people whould not only be maids and gardeners any more but the best,people in the bahamas.Yes we want nice people to come and make a home in briland.But all im asking give the people of the island a oppertunity,to prove there selfs.They are not all dumb like most of you think.I will not goaway ontil my people get there right.
Most of us sold the land out. I was interested in a parcell of land that a native inherited from her uncle, I think. There was another young briland gal, no older than 25 was also interested in that same parcell of land, guess who the land was sold to in the long run a non Bahamian. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE RACIEST BUT WE ARE SELL OUT OURSELVES. If we sell a for $100,000.00 virgin land out, and it is developed at the cost of $500,000.00, which young person on briland or Eleuthura except the drug-lords that can afford to purchase the house and land from the developer, name 5 persons. The youth of HI needs to wakeup and really see what is going on around them, clothing, jewellery and parting goes out of style pretty fast, and land don't get old, or rot.
