Last Surviving 39er Harold Carter Dies at 97

1. He should get a state funeral.

2. I pay y respect to those 39ers who had real motives and ideology to fight the white Jim crow system back then along with v.c bird and George Walter and countless other Antiguans that make the 39ers miniscule, because it was the people ethos at that time that generated the thrust, no one man was pivotal as the self proclaimed narrative would like to suggest, this last 39er probably did more work than the leader at the time. They fought Jim crowism which now our young and so call educated leaders are instituting today, as they give our beach front lands for are a dynamic currency and celebrate the black natives become maids and gardeners in hotel a private property to the pleasure of white monopoly capital domination.

3. Your positions are always one I respect.

   But we did not have Jim Crow in the Caribbean we had Colonialists and a Syndicate. It was slavery by another name. Our young people are denied that history. Today it’s life in a neocolonial society.
   Jim Crow was that period after Reconstruction before the Civil Rights Movement.
   It’s so interesting that we never give thanks to US black people who fought Jim Crow laws and practices; which today gives us the people of the Caribbean to travel freely and eat at same restaurant counter as any other person.

   Truth be told many Antiguans played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights movement. One of whose house was fire bombed.
   We are so so confused that with give honour to our slave masters and accept their honours of knighthood.

   For those who wishes to visit what they call the mother Country “AFRICA” I say visit the Slave Museum and the African American Museum in DC that memorializes those who made a easier path for us especially at this time when black exclusion from America is taking shape.
   Keep in mind who handed us over to the Slave Trader.

4. @country man abroad: respectfully there is a Jim crow system in place, the mill reef and the jumby bay and now PLH in Barbuda or any white enclave in Antigua cannot be frequented by the black natives, the government has pass legislation for buffer zone, and that is a black government, and the police don’t meddle in white domestic affairs.

5. Yep !! …George Wallace said segregation now and segregation in the future, and so we have it.
   To bad our people have lost their self respect and dignity to the degree that they continue to support these policies.
