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

The entire carnival display is disgraceful.<\/p>

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

For a country whose citizens profess to be \u2018Christians\u2019, and who claim that they were enslaved and stripped of their birthright and culture, the display is vulgar to the extreme.<\/p>\n

Carnival is supposed to be synonymous with emancipation.<\/p>

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

How emancipated are you, when you choose to be bending down and allowing a man or a woman to twerk on you?<\/p>

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

What is wrong with our black women especially? Generations of Syrians and white people have grown up here. Share the same culture.<\/p>\n

I dare you to show me any display of vulgarity on their part. And we wonder why we are least expected to be married. And have multiple children fathers.<\/p>

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

Every year this display sickens me. I was glad when COVID hampered it for the past two years. Now, where is the 3foot separation?<\/p>\n

Where is the decency.<\/p>

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

My god black people, what is wrong with us? Why are we so carnal? Disgusting. And the sad thing is, the young generation is watching.<\/p>
