He love Africa and Africans so much, why he don't live there seeing as that is where they actually live. He'd spend 6 days living there, realise what time it is and then come back home and kiss the tarmac at Piarco.

This would be a wonerful Sentiment if I our India travelling PM thought the same way.

Have you been to Africa sir? I haven't. Heard it is an incredible continent from speaking to South Africans and friends who have actually been there.

I agree 100%. It is the most diverse continent in the world both good and bad. But that is not the "Africa" he is talking about. He thinks "Africans" have it bad here?!?!! If he was really for Africans he would protest the millions displaces and killed. Not protesting that there aren't enough "African" CEOs in Trinidad.

True eh. Just look at Obama in 2008 with all the talk of Hope and Change you can believe in. When he got elected, all the ppl he appointed to make this "change" were the same frauds who have been part of the system for eons. Clinton, Geithner, Volcker, even his VP Biden all come to mind.

The "walking vomit" comment was Gladiator but you making some serious allegations there, you better back it up with fact before the bigots take it and run with it.

The "united nasty canesuckers" was George Umbala Joseph.

Thank God those species are off the air!!!

If there are people who want to change the practice - will they be accepted by the population??

Correck is right! Them so would've kept TATT busy day and night with complaints.

And Habit7, those comments were made in the height of the kidnappings when indians were reportedly packing up and fleeing T&T. He was trying to convince his listeners to not let "those people" leave. One of his arguments was that if the indians left, he wondered who would supply the cocaine? I don't recall all his exact statements, but the insinuation was clear, most of the crime was a result of the activities of east indians.
