A disingenuous take on diversity
Created: Dec 16, 2023 07:58 AM
Ben Smith has enjoyed a few good months, first being returned as an MP in the Smith’s South by-election in October, and then taking the No 2 post in the OBA behind leader Jarion Richardson (File photograph by Blaire Simmons)
Dear Sir,
I wish to very briefly comment on the statement or declaration from the One Bermuda Alliance that its party is diverse. That can be looked at only as a comparison with the mainly Black Progressive Labour Party.
From time to time, that line is trotted out as something wonderful. I see it differently.
In the past, I have seen brave, principled White people who aligned themselves with the PLP, and then were ostracised and economically and socially punished for their stand.
Stop being less than honest, disingenuous.
