The embarrassment of the returning Dominican international professional is an example of how we hate and hurt each other in this post plantation environment of the Caribbean.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Essentially what it says is that we are still confined by plantation back stabbing and a black crab-in-barrel mentality.<\/p>

The governments of our region are a classic example of hate when they arrest their most progressive minds using the police & the law and its notarized publicity to permanently damage their reputations.<\/p>\n

Not so long ago we saw the government of Jamaica reach out over the islands chain to damage the name and reputation of a senior government officer operating here. When the 20 year past misdemeanor was investigated, and brushed aside by senior lawyers as explainable practice, the deed was done.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The active press had already exposed and blown up the issue, and Jamaica had back-stabbed a son in public overseas.<\/p>\n

Every day our government cusses individuals in most personal and crude terms, threatening persons which cause such pain to their families, especially their children.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This plantation hatred meted out against each other, and the need to pull down those that show promise of becoming independent, all are just the continuation of the\u00a0 plantation culture of hate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let us not fool ourselves, it will take more than one century to remove that terrible curse of black against black, grown as a second trade in controlling humans on the plantation, and still working.<\/p>\n

The church has done more to help keep these subtle, and with police not so subtle systems in place, by psychologically keeping the enslaved mentality of their congregations unchanged.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The forgiveness of others for the loss of our humanity is only possible if one becomes Jesus.<\/p>\n
