Dr Newton has since said that his poem was not a response to Dotsie and meant to be private poem.

Where is this LITTLE BLACK BOY bull shit coming from and when will it stop. As a Black person who is very conscious of my blackness and African heritage, it saddens me deeply to hear this kind of infradig, outrageous and despicable narrative. I heard it was rumoured that some UPP supporters and even some of the UPP MPs have used words to describe Jamale Pringle. It that is true it is very sad and if Mr. Pringle has evidence of that he should produce it. I am really very upset about this that we as people (Black race) who first walked the face of this earth are still so backward and ignorant.
I agree fully with Dr Newton . All of our former PM can also be classified as little black boys. Cut the nonsense out. Pringle just isn’t ready to lead no political party much less a country . He is just a remote control for the elitist members of UPP.
Mistah Tabor, wenk you nah just fallah you pickney, DeNani, and just cum out ah dem subb’n?!?!?!
@Charles Tabor…”bull shit” you say.
It’s deep rooted in the CLASSISM CULTURE which is the footing, of the present Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA Culture. Depicting a grown man educated, black, mulatoo, hybrid of no-color comes in part, through the BASTADISATION and Mental Castration by the Orders Of Religion, by designs.

Mr.Tabor I support you 100%. This is Dotsie Issac who wants to appear as an Intellectual. D.Gisel Isaac and Dotsie Isaac Keep dragging Jamale through the MUD. What is sad about this , Jamale does not know the harm inflicted on Him.
UPP keep on destroying Themselves . Mr Tabor just imagine the following.
IAN ( MAGIC) HUGHES..Convicted MOLESTER..Served 12 months in prison for molesting an UNDERAGED girl (His daughter’s friend)
Also ( STICKY FINGERS ) JOAN McEWEN ( ON OBSERVER RADIO at nights) are UPP Public Relations Officers.
These two are GUTTER Snipers. Shame on UPP.
Charles Tabor 100% in agreement with you.
This is a CULTURE exists in the UPP. D.Gisel Isaac has been using Jamale Pringle name to its fullest. Giving the Gentleman poor advice . I applaud DAMANI TABOR for leaving the JUNGLE called UPP. This is the worst Opposition party in world. UPP consists of EX CONS , One of Their MPS said that He has done all the WRONGDOINGS. Form a new Party. UPP name is TAINTED.
Mr. Tabor 100%
As and Antiguan who has recently moved back. I believe in the principal of good governance. I have been on the fence about my support, but I can honestly say I have been leaning UPP. However, after the last three months it has become clear the issue with the UPP runs very deep.
If it is true that certain members of the party are uttering these words. They should be immediately expelled from the party. My reasoning for this stance is simple. If they can treat their own. Leader like this, no matter WHAT there’re disagreement. WHAT, will they do to the people who they govern. Simple! They have failed the easiest lesson in regard to their positions,RESPECT.
Mr. Pringle, I don’t envy your position. In my opinion, it is time to get off this bus, regroup and think about how you are going to move this country forward with the good people you have left.
Rome wasn’t built over night and it will take a lot longer to rebuild Antigua.
@ SHARL ….. Just read your posting and I am very annoyed to hear MAGIC HUGHES and JOAN McEWEN are PRO for UPP. This is crazy. MAGIC an EX CON and JOAN McEWEN has STICKY fingers. Can someone in UPP confirm the above ?
Dear lil black boy,
They have no respect for you
Plain & simple;
You don’t speak well
You will NEVER ascend to their level
Not even if Harold Returns and sounds the bell
You will NEVER get a chance to be head
Cause UPP Dead, Dead, Dead
Oh dear. This just keeps getting WORSE!!!!
I am calling on Jamale Pringle to step down in the interest of saving what is left of the UPP Party. Sir I have nothing negative to say about you. Since I consider you by far a better human being than the leader of this country. Similarity D.Gisele is without a doubt a much better human than the Gaston Brown, Cutie Benjamin and the Judas -Anthony Smith.
In life , including politics you have to know when to throw in the towel.
I am not asking you to resign from the UPP Party
Back to D. Gisele as I look around Antigua landscape. You are the only person that I see as a true leader. The only Antigua that is involved in Politics that can lead Antigua right now . However, your name has been tarnished by the APLP propaganda machine. The worst character of any politician is leading Antigua. The most insulting person in the history of Antigua politics is leading Antigua.
The most crookish person in Antigua is serving as the Attorney General of Antigua and Barbuda. This is a fact that every single Antiguan is aware of. We don’t care .
You see in Antigua thieves are promoted. Those that stole from the Blind become politician and foreign affairs minister. Those that lift car over customs fence. The tourism minister sold his property on high street to the government. They bailed him out with millions of tax dollars. This is the people that sit in our parliament. The MP from up east that is not lucid enough to go into Parliament is still on the payroll. is this democracy? He should have resigning and we have a by-election. He has enough billions in cash and assets for his family to take care of him. This guy stole from Antigua for Decades. Stole Barbuda sand. Stole Antigua lands , destroyed young women. I don’t call bad on any human. However, if you have any reasoning. Repent to your maker. Time is short. Yes I might go before you but that doesn’t change anything. We live, we get old and then we die. If we steal from the nation and the poor we live long and suffer.
I don’t like UPP Bowen either. Yes we can forgive and maybe it was an accident in a love affair went bad but he should not be in representative politics either.
So D.Gisele and as they say you and your Brother Pringle is not advancing the UPP party at this time. Maybe the cleansing was good. The only person of real significance and importance that surprised me was Tabor. So it’s best to just take the back seat. Life as I said it short. Concentrate on your personal lives. There is no face to save- you are both honest, hardworking Antiguans . That I believe has Antigua a heart.
I see directors of PWD- past and present, PS , accountant general or acting a ton of crooks holding public office. No one calling them out .
Lady and Gentleman just take a bow. Pringle continue to represent All Saints West until your pension and move on with your life . Life is short.
To those that have left the UPP Party and Joined the ABLP Party – they only make themselves looked like idiots. If you are joining forces with people you called criminals- then what are you ? If you joined forces with thieves – what are you? the watchman . Old people say the Watchman is worst than the thief !
This nonsense sounds like reverse psychology called UPP propaganda against itself seeking sympathy support rather than support on merit.
As a matter of fact that poem displays the intellectual capacity of the UPP highest executive ( The secret one that is not a secret)
At this point all ABLP has to do is fan the theme. Just Luke Lovell, Pringle has been officially rejected as a possible candidate for prime minister. UPP please understand the dynamics of group interrelation and make the change. And just like Lovell quit trying to prove people wrong.
Truth be told I have no confidence in Jamal Pringle to lead the UPP or any political party at this time in his life. He needs more personal self development and political experience. However, this ‘Little Black Boy’ label is totally offensive and uncalled for. Shame on any person of African descent to use this phrase.
The phrase “little Black Boy” is used by a group of women who believe they are still in their social group POWA. Actually they have transferred their gathering place and social activities into the UPP, discarding all those who are not of their ilk or social setting.
Miss Dotsie writes good poetry but she missed the mark on this one. No one wants their leader to be thought of as a little boy, and though well meaning, a little black one. Might sound cute, but it does not inspire respect.
She and her sister missed the mark on this one, as they did by naming Harold Lovell “the best Prime Minister Antigua never had”. Don’t think they did this to harm him, but it labelled him.
Madam Chairman, you are confusing social activism with hard politics, and you have chosen inside the UPP as your arena. You are including who agree with you and expelling those who dare to say a contrary word. As a result, you are demoralizing the membership with your strategy of exclusion rather than inclusion.
That’s bad for any political party.
@ This backfired you are right on the ball. The problem now with the UPP especially after the Convention is made worst by the Chair Gisele Isaac. I am a member of the UPP and has witnessed first hand the way she operates. If you do not agree with her, she sees you as an enemy. The people who supportrd Lewis are all enemies now and can go to hell. Despite what you hear Pringle says now, that was the problem of bringing people together after the Convention. How can there be healing when a retreat that was called exactly to do that she as Chair walked out in front of all the elected MPs Baldwin Spencer, Harold Lovell and Pastor Paul Andrew? She is the problem in reaching healing. All the want she want Jamale Pringle to become prime minister so she pulls the strings of power, it cannot happen with the present confusion in the Party and perhaps with Pringle as leader.
The recent days of this notion that person are against Mr. Pringle because he is black is absurdity.
If a person leaves because they no longer have faith in leadership or the direction the party is heading, this is because you are black? Or want to pursue other personal and political options, is this because you are black.
If they disagree with you as a person and as a leader is it because you are balck?
The same persons were there in all your blackness, when you were the leader of the opposition. They supported you, they finance you, they council with you, they encourage you. Now they have a disagreement with you it’s because you are black, so what color are they, peach?
Really!!!
Your blackness is irrelevant, just like your gender. What is relevant though is your leadership of the party.
In the 5 years you were sitting as LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION in the House, Harold was the political leader of the party.
It was a great and fruitful pathnership. Harold council you, he mentored you, he supported you. Why are you not listening to his and Dr. Spencer’s council now? Why have you failed to seek their wisdom? Why have you cut them off from guiding you to where they have been, they very place you are seeking to go.
No amount of books can teach you experience, experience is learnt and no person can council you in the experience they themselves never had.
You are in a most envious position, you Sir have both the former Prime Minister in Dr. Spencer and the Former political Leader of the UPP in Bro..Harold, still around and alive to council you. Who did Sir V.C have who did Sir George have, who did Dr. Spencer have?
This notion of little black boy, is grotesque and fankly foolishness.
STOP IT!!!
Your blackness has no place in the public conversation. Even though some persons may believe that, you as a leader must rise above it, dont encourage it and don’t give that pernicious thinking any oxygen.
Take a page from VP Harris’s book, when Donald Trump questioned her blackness, her simple response was “next question”. When you know who you are no now can define you.
The old saying is this sir ” is not what people call you, is what you answer too”
It is not how the party sees you or what the party wants, the bigger question that you must answer is this.
HOW DOES THE PUBLIC sees me and what are their expectations of me?
As I have said many time and will continue to say LEADERS LEAD. Not by others but with others.
Winston Henry great comment. You are correct and I hope Pringle sees your comment.
