Emancipation, I really do not know. A big strong black man, with the profile of a stud, does that represent emancipation. Such a man, on a plantation would use his potency to keep the slave population well supplied with strong youths.
We have simply exchanged one set of slave masters for another. You think extortion started in the bus park in Spanish Town, no!!!, there are different forms of slavery in our little Paradise!!!

emancipation my foot, that’s another way of sugar coating the outrageous things great Britain treated people from the Caribbean.The day should be renamed to anticipated emancipation.

you really think slavery is over look around Barbados and see slavery is up and running, when rich people could come in the country and buy up all the beach properties and put up big boulders and signs and guard dogs, when companies could pay 4 dollars an hour and prices keep going up, and your MP miss mia mottley said the country is doing good, you expect slavery is really abolish? bajans should not vote unless the members who are there to represent them do something for them first, it is high time things turn around, tell them action first and voting after, that way you will get what you cast your vote for, not vote first and no action.Ms Mottley should be fighting to get more schools and better conditions in all sectors of government, not just sit back and be complacent.

Indeed,and undoubtedly,mental slavery is extremely egregious in many of the Caribbean islands,and this has severely impacted on the political,economic, and social development of the region as a whole.Hence,the time for the emancipation of the mind is now.

Are we really emanciapated?? Come to think of it some of us still have the slave mentality…always someone to push them and tell them what to do…so i would like to think the chains and bonds are far more mental and emotional rather than physical
