Sunday gleaner feedback

These people and entities need to be exposed and driven out of business, and if needs be, out of Jamaica. Not naming names can, and is, leading to creeping apartheid. Already, there are beaches on the north coast of Jamaica that Jamaicans, in what is supposed to be our country, cannot go to. We have a problem.

This paper is desperately seeking recognition. No such thing is happening in Jamaica in terms of skin colour.

If you take a look at the banks, insurance companies, just to name a few, their employees' are majority black.

I think dreadlocks looks very unprofessional, untidy and lacks a sense of proper grooming. It should rightly not be allowed.

The Sunday Gleaner headline of September 11, 'Brownings, please', has to be the beginning of a vista.

Since the story emerged from requests (written and verbal) to the HEART Trust/NTA, the information should be pursued and further exposure provided, using the Access to Information Act.

We need to know who these businesses are - their owners, managers, associated businesses, services, products and target customers.

The Gleaner has no choice but to expose them, and well-thinking Jamaicans no option but to boycott them until there is demonstrable proof of a reversal of their hiring practice and adequate punishment of those responsible. For we cannot allow those businesses to survive by pillorying the Constitution and desecrating the national motto.

It's about time someone begin this conversation. Thanks to The Gleaner for spotlighting this issue on a Sunday when this paper reaches a larger reading audience.

It really breaks my heart to see poor blacks damaging their health by bleaching. It breaks my heart to see that the content of a person's character and ability is judged by the colour of his skin. It breaks my heart to see that education, intelligence and ability have taken a back seat to the lightness of a person's skin colour.

Gordon Robinson's 'Both PNP and JLP needed Dudus'

I continue to be amazed at how selective our observations can be. Here is Bunting, sticking his neck out in a bid to change or influence change in politics, and yet we are persecuting him.

The man went on national TV and admitted that his party has done evil and called on everyone to show their cards. And what, we vilify him? What more can a politician do? If his back wasn't broad, I'm sure he would just stick his neck back in and curl up and die, but that is why he will be my prime minister. His back is broad and he's not vulnerable. So bring it on, foot soldiers of obfuscation.

Well said! Now we see why Dudus will not be investigated in Jamaica for crimes he is suspected of, no matter which political party is in power. This issue must never be allowed to go away, not until it is turned inside out and the all the rats are shaken from their holes.

After serving time, Dudus will be deported to Jamaica. He will still be a wealthy man, probably, and he will still have his contacts, because nothing will have changed, so he can start off where he left off. This is all business.

Because he will not have been charged in Jamaica for any crimes, there is nothing Jamaica can do to prevent him from running his legitimate business and earning money from the same politicians who were glad to see the back of him.

Let Bunting have his say. Only the politicians can expose the filthy underbelly of our politics. The ensuing tit-for-tat will have lots of benefits for those who have suffered for much too long.

Also, the faceless set who throw around their money will be inadvertently revealed. Who was willing to part with nearly US$50,000 for Dudus' sake? Was it for love, devotion or something more sinister? Time will tell.

Could not have said it better. I think most Jamaicans want to have law and order in the country, but when politicians are going to behave as if they are lily-white and point fingers at each other rather than trying to fix the problems they've known about for years, we must lose faith in them. Mr Bunting must take a good look in his constituency where he will find a don.
