A “formal, structured process” for racial reconciliation, the mandatory reporting of wealth by race, and the decriminalisation of cannabis have been called for by CURB.These initiatives came with a 15-point plan issued yesterday by Citizens Uprooting Racism in Bermuda.The social justic group aims to promote the pointers as election issues and move the Island toward a fairer social model where white privilege is eliminated.Additionally, CURB’s document calls for reviving the Workforce Equity Bill, a review of the criminal justice system and greater use of restorative justice principles, and giving the vote to prison inmates.CURB president Cordell Riley said the group wanted candidates in the pending election to endorse the 15 “talking points”, to move the discussion forward.“We know that race is going to be coming up in the [December 17] election, one way or another,” Mr Riley said.“What we’re trying to do is direct the discussion in a more constructive way.”Some of the points, such as a call for the repealing of police “stop and search” powers, have already been heard by Government to some extent, he conceded: police stop and searches have declined in recent months.Others are sure to raise eyebrows, such as the suggested mandatory reporting of wealth by race.Expanding on the point, the document stated: “As part of their licence, financial institutions would be required to report annually, aggregate net worth data by race. This would provide the necessary information to determine if the wealth divide is changing.”Asked to clarify, Mr Riley termed the initiative as a way of statistically tracking wealth in a way that hitherto went beneath the radar.“We don’t have any statistics on wealth,” he said. “We know that in the US, blacks hold one-tenth the wealth of whites. We need to know what it is right now.”As for the proposed decriminalisation of cannabis, he said the law at the moment hit blacks considerably harder than it had ever hit whites.“We think there is some duplicity there,” Mr Riley said.He added: “From our perspective, we don’t see a need to lock up somebody for smoking a very small amount of something for personal use.”The suggestion isn’t condoning cannabis use, he cautioned.The group has yet to come up with a definition of what amount would constitute “personal use”.Mr Riley said the group saw different races coming away with entirely different ways of “getting exposed” to the law.He noted that the Island’s legal system is historically rooted in punitive feudal law.“Many of these suggestions have come up before in past reports,” Mr Riley added.Past CURB president Lynne Winfield said the document would likely be amended over time, and will probably see additions.Asked why the pointers were being issued now, Mr Riley said that groups like the Bermuda Employers Council and the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce had been asked by the media what they hoped to see in the recent Throne Speech.“We decided to look more broadly at what we expect the parties to endorse,” he said, adding: “We hope to see some of them in the next Throne Speech.”
