Stop creating divisions

August 10, 2009

Dear Sir,

Can I just say that I am absolutely tired of hearing "black" and "white" in the news whether it is on TV or in a paper. Enough is enough. Although from what I see, there is too many ignorant people on this Island that it probably never will end. But you see, everyone sits back and says "we need to cut the racial divide" or "we need to end this racism in Bermuda", but what I see is more and more people creating it! All this Island seems to see lately is Black and White, but yet it only gets called "playing the race card", sorry but no, here's a wake up call for you – it is racism – point blank.

Come on Bermuda! As said in a previous letter: "It's 2009 last time I checked ... not 1969", so stop creating a bigger racial divide! Stop creating racist issues and start worrying about the real problems we are now facing! (Like say the increased violence, gun problems, teen pregnancies, and just overall nonsense this island has but is being overlooked)

I am a youth myself and I have to say it disgusts me to watch my island fall to pieces over the ignorance and bull-headed actions of both races.
