Here's a summary of the "conversation".
Him
"You always talking bad about Bahamians"
Me
"I said many Bahamians. Not all"
Him
"You didn't talk about that when the FNM was in power"
Me.
"I guess you chose to ignore those posts in my posts and/or letters to the editor"
Him
"You all (white people I assume) shouldn't even mention slavery"
Me
"Why not? Because I'm white? That's the point of the post. Bad policy is bad policy no matter the party in power or the colour of your skin"
Him
"Why don't you get elected to Parliament and change it?"
Me
Well I have no desire to, but I served on an immigration committee for the PLP and they never implemented one idea from that committee."
And there the conversation ended.
If this is a microcosm of the "discussions" in society about this topic, is there any wonder Parliament carries on the way they do?
Having a position against bad public policy is not a position against all Bahamians, it's a fight against the vices of some.
As Plutarch said; A few vices are sufficient to darken many virtues.
