  • @Lester - Plzzzzz stop. Now U C Y this people is in one wide mess up on varying levels.
    500 years ago the letter "J" did not exist in any language on this earth, so NO letter "J" 500 years ago, and NO name "Jesus" 2,000 years ago. The letter "J" is a fairly recent addition to the alphabet (around the 1600's), and research / historical data prove it's IMPOSSIBLE for the names JESUS or JeHoVaH to even have been on the planet back in the ancient times.
    It wasn't until 1524 when Gian Giorgio Trissino, an Italian Renaissance grammarian known as the father of the letter J.

    Now what happened in the 1600's Lester??? This people is in a current state of Babel aka confusion. Pay special attention to the word Renaissance.

  • @Tee Francis - EVERYTHING that black people think they know and do, was learnt from the white race. From their god mentality, to ALL forms of behavior to dress to language etc. So Tee Francis u really need to look deeper. White people do not currently need to kill black people because the damage has been done and the foundation laid. 97% on the bottom will suffice. If u take a people and erase everything about them from dress to diet what do you expect. Oh, I know they are also the ones in the suits with the neck tie that sit in parliament, church, and corporations which u think is really great huh. And until white people make that correction things will just get worst. The current ignorant baseline whites are not the ones to do it as they too are caught in the same loop. The masters of whites are the ones to make that correction. But why would they??

  • I agree with your comment Carol. Blacks are killing blacks. Angela, the incident in New Zealand is not identical to the crime situation in Barbados .Are there any murders in Barbados committed against blacks by whites?

  • I agree with you Carol.What happened in New Zealand is not identical to what is happening in Barbados . Angela , are there
    any whites killing blacks in Barbados?

  • By the way Rodney , if the "Assie Moore " that I know had to produce from one of your female family members it definitely won't be a thug . . . for sure.

  • . . .also Rodney are you guilty about being one of the producers of black criminal thugs ?

    You don't look White , Asian , Middle Eastern , Indian , or Jewish to me.

  • To Rodney Callendar , how in the name of Heaven did they allow you into the Barbados Defence Force when you can't even spell properly ?

    I hope it wasn't the Sandhurst Military Academy Grauate Col. Rudyard Lewis that let you in.

  • Mr. JOHN KIRKPATRICK, how about all those in knifing murders in jolly ol' England? Would you recommend that I not visit there at this time?
