If we Dominicans feel that we are intimidated by having the Chinese in our own country….I will say this; it’s not Skerrit (the 🦀 crab) who is allowed them to stay here in our country. We are the ones who are tolerating, and are continuing to accept their disregard for our laws and our people. Enough is Enough. We don’t need all these foreigners here in our very small Island. Let them go to their newly built Island in the sea….The South China Sea. Does China have a Submarine stationed in our waters?
What are you trying to gain by writing such a comment, wow, can we as a Country honestly move forward with that type of mentality hating people. Your ignorance and intolerance is so pitiful, it is appealing to a subtle action which is an obstacle to our growth and advancement such belief should stay where it belongs, in your mind.
Where I be nor now you have to ask permission to walk streets in da I guess is there house you going to and have to ask permission to be there all I seeing you all running after all you people
@Francisco, you asked when last I been to China, I can tell you my wife and I went to China 5 years ago on holidays we also have our stamps on my wife and I UK passports to prove it, everyone was very kind and thoughtful towards us and thinking of going back in the future, have you ever been to China????
Thanks DNO for the coverage . Those of us who live in other parts of the world and could not be there in the physical but we were there in sprit .THANKS AGAIN .Dominicans we can do better that, next week we want you all to come out by the thousands and show carbon skerrit you don’t need permission to walk in your country. That’s a good start my people.
Francisco-Dog,why do you think the people of Dominica are not listening to you?Take some time off you constant high level of BS and think.The labour party has never lost votes since 2000.In the 2019 election the UWP lost 1,163 votes and they did not vote Labour WHY?The thing is more and more people are seeing through your lies,your propaganda and fake news.You and others like you are the cause of UWP always losing election.Can you Francisco- dog tell us where the money came from to build the thousands of $250,000 and $300,000 houses and apartments.Where is the money coming from to pay 2,700 people 70yrs and above $300 monthly, including the rattlesnake father?I can bet you are against the Yes We Care because the money to take care of them is coming from the Cbi.Your problem and that of UWP is that the INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT will be built on your doorstep with CBI money.If you do not remember UWP was kicked out of office for corruption.You leader was [allegedly] caught in a money …….. matter.
You know, I have difficulties understanding the nonsense you have here; but as usual, Clowns, the character Pinocchio are known liars, who gets confuse when lying.
They write things makes no sense, so I now name you Pinocchio, each time you lie for Roosevelt your nose grows six inches!
“Pinocchio is the titular protagonist of Disney’s 1940 animated feature film of the same name. He is a wooden puppet created by the kindly woodcarver Geppetto.
As per Geppetto’s wish to have a son, Pinocchio was brought to life by the Blue Fairy.
That’s you Clown!
But let me tell, for as long as Roosevelt is in power, you will not see an International Airport build and operated in Dominica.
As for the giveaway houses how many does not have built in toilet facility.
And when the passport sales dry up where is the money going to come from to give to the seventy-five years old, red devils, who are the only recipients if you are not a red devil you don’t get one cent!
Dominica never ceases to surprise. Just when you think it can’t get any more backward, something like today happens. And by the way, comparing Dominica to the situation in the Ukraine is a gross insult to those poor people. If Athie Martin and Lennox Linton are the last great hope for Dominicans then the nation is well and truly doomed.
You said it immaculately: “The nation is well and truly doomed.” Tell me Frank, what progress can you reasonably talk about that has occurred in Dominica in the last twenty years? If you understand what democracy means, then you must agree that any government in power for that length of time culminates into something less that democratic and transparent.
Change is an evolutionary process, and it is going happen, and definitely not with Dimitry ascending to what may appear to be a type of Monarchial government.
I listened to the Handbag boy, and if is one thing I can say is that his concern about all Dominicans leaving, we will be leaving it to the Chines!
This is a serious matter, Dominican’s need to stand firm against Roosevelt Skerrit, who is a puppet of of the Chines who are prepared to take over Dominica, that is why they have the largest Embassy in the world in Dominica.
Why should an embassy be fenced with an eight feet wall electrically wired with 800 volts of electricity?
People I am talking about an 800 volts electric fence designed to kill people, the slightest touch will kill any human or animal!
i am not against foreigners in our country Chines or other, but especially the Chines need to respect our native born!
The hate us as black people, the treat us like dogs when we visit China, and come to our country with their same discriminatory mentality, encouraged by Roosevelt!
Let there be a revolution!
So, Man-Dog, ds, Pinocchio long nose Clown, I am watching the protest as it takes place in Dominica. The instructions from Athie, is that the few people in participation should walk on the side walk.
Nevertheless, I the 22nd century, I a have not seen anything that remotely resembles sidewalk in a modern country. So, you upholders of corruption and thievery, where have all the passport money gone?
Roseau is in a dilapidated state, yet we here billions of passport money is unaccounted for, we heard billions of dollars are in the pocket of foreigners friends of the corrupted crook!
Looking at Dominica right now, how can you people support Roosevelt Skerrit!
Gary I am talking to you also, where are your conscience?
If Carbon send any of his goons to interfere with those people, both he and Roosevelt be held …………
Hello Francisco, hope all is well, but my Question to you- you said in so many words the Chinese hate us as blacks and treat us like dogs that is not true, having said that how would you say most black people being treated in the USA with milk and honey is it???
“Chinese hate us as blacks and treat us like dogs that is not true,”
Man-Dog, what do you know about the Chines?
When last have you been to China?
Guy let me tell you something, as recently as the winter Olympic games held in China; there was a Buss carrying black athletics, Chines were running alongside shouting N….. go home.
Guy, there are super black entertainers from America, who went to China, and could not go into certain Restaurants, or nightclub for entertainment.
We see that exposed on Television in America all the time okay!
You cannot deny that they step on our people in Dominica, and get away with it; to a point where Chines offends, attack our people in Dominica, and when the Dominican defend themselves, those Chines calls the police, and though they are at fault, some dumb Dominica, so called police demands the Dominican apologize to the Chines.
You see they bring their bigotry to America, that’s why they are getting beat and kick in the streets…
@Francisco, you asked when last I been to China, I can tell you my wife and I went to China 5 years ago on holidays we also have our stamps on my wife and I UK passports to prove it, everyone was very kind and thoughtful towards us and thinking of going back in the future, have you ever been to China????
Well, Chines eat dogs you know so perhaps they were thing of having you for dinner!
Hahahahahahahahahahahah.
Boy I do not believe you for one second you hear, every black person I encounter who visited China returns with the same complaint; people have been to China secretly recorded the nasty way the Chines treat Black people, returned to America, and expose the Chines discriminatory behavior on Television, and here you are defending them!
I was not born last night Mr. Man-Dog.
And you do not have to prove to me or anyone by showing stamp in your passport that you been to China, anybody with some money can travel to any place they want, as a tourist these days.
There was a time it cost $365.00 to travel to England, the time you went, people yearn to go.
It cost much more these days; nevertheless we find Dominicans going to London for a weekend, and return the go to Nottingham Hill for Carnival jump-up eh!
You don’t even have to go to China to know that the Chinese are not just racist but they are religiously racist.
Do they try to assimilate into the local Dominican population? They deliberately only socialise and interact with people of their own ethnicity. But, again, you are too mentally blind to see this. You are only a dog.
You are the racist one and towards your own Dominican people go to Hell you are an ……. just look at the people you associated with say alot about you ……. get some education about racism what the Americans doing to black people even today, blacks doing the same to each other Countries like China never enslaves the black Man except the European and Americans this is why black men like you Ibo, is nothing but confused.
That is why you are still talking and marching. Dominica is a peaceful country. There is justice, freedom, and prosperity in our country. Take a trip to North Korea, then you will find out the meaning of justice, freedom, and prosperity. Ah bet you Kim Jong Un would have taken good care of you. You would not have kept that public speaker microphone in your hands that long. It is sad when people cannot get their own way, they disrespect those above them and resort to violence.
ds, there are absolutely no peaceful country in the world!
We see turmoil everywhere, even in the sleeping giant Dominica; if Dominica was a peaceful place, or country, there would not be so much thievery murder, to a point where even families murder their very own families!
Peaceful place is the impression they give to you and you fall for this deception!
If people are not allowed to walk freely in the streets, and demonstrate their dissatisfaction over the behavior of a corrupted Roosevelt Skerrit, how can you suggest Dominica is at peace, when a government can arrest someone for absolutely no good reason and charge them with treason?
When a government refuses to give a permit to demonstrate, by way of walking in the streets, that can’t be a peaceful place, the government is seeking confrontation!
Peace is freedom from disturbance; there is no tranquility in Dominica, government bad politics which creates poverty is the cause of the trouble in the country!
Progress comes with all those things you talk about, thievery, murder, hijacking, break and open, robbing. It is a sign that Dominica is progressing with all its attendants. No question about that.
ds, if there was; and let me be specific: if there was economic progress in the country there would not be any of the violence you mentioned.
Our island is too small of an island for people to be involved in the kinds of crimes we have taking place. My friend, I have lived in highly populated places in Germany, England, and now California, or shall I say the United States.
Traveled to Canada countless times, and not seeing or experience the type vicious violence found in Dominica these days.
That’s not progress ds, it is a sickness caused by poverty!
here is the situation: ” want to be like them.” There they look at some people sporting plenty of money, owns more than one million dollar plus houses, expensive SUV; these people are involved into politics, and obtained their millions by illegal means, so the youths seeing that wants the same things, without jobs, the turn to robbery and murder to get money to be like them, that’s not progress.
Why you didn’t mention China? Remember Hong Kong?
Where did you see violence!!!!
Did de task force go to de scene of de violence?
If Skerrit had stopped that walk it would add to de Syria diplomatic relations blunder!!!!
And further expose de monkey’s behind
I almost made the mistake and respond within the construct of your frame of mind. But might I request? Are you suggesting that violence should be employed to have removed the mike from the speakers’ hands?
You need to pause and try to understand what circular discourse represents. In saying that Dominica is a democracy, but if this was North Korea (NK)….. suggesting the method that should employed during the walk today should be like that employed in NK? Are you also suggesting that NK is a prosperous country?
Man, it was just so exhausting reading your contribution!!!
Great spirits. Great energy.
I take note and give thanks that the police did not hinder de activity.
People got an opportunity to take a peaceful excercise.
This activity follows from and aligns with the spirit of our neg mawon ancestors!
De business community was well represented with just one inspiring voice from Harlem.
De outcome was beyond our expectations regardless of the fact that the numbers wasn’t in the thousands…… keep the fire blazing and spirits alive.
I wonder if Skerrit is in Dominica at this m
He is a dissident at this time. He is now in the House of Exile. Ah bet you wished. Long live Skerrit. Forward Ever! backward never!
Downpresser man……where will you run to when crumbs stop coming your way!
Great opportunity for COVID spread. We shall have an increase of COVID cases every Wednesday. And when the health services get inundated with cases they can’t handle many will die. Athie Martin belong in a home for the aged, not walking with crowds of people putting his life at risk.
Molly the donkey had more opportunities to spread covid and she did it well. No one dared complained of her political antics so seat your behind down and watch us walk in our land Jesus bequeathed us. The mongoose gang ran and hide I see
Francisco-dog as uneducated ………… Ugly Lenny about China.Remember like you he was critizing China.When he was invited to China what did he say on his return to Dominica,do you remember.There is more racism demonstrated in the USA against blacks than anywhere in the world.In New York,Queens,Bronx and Brooklyn there ara very few white people living.If you know the USA you will know that in everyone of the 50 states there is a chinatown.When the Chinese first came to Dominica only Chinese worked in their businesses.Today their businesses are filled with blacks.Because of the Chinese the black Dominica are able to furnish their house,offices,own dozens of pairs of shoes and have a large wardrobe.Dominicans are much better of with the Chinese(so far)Most of the windows in Dominican houses are Chinese built.In Dominica black, Dominicans are more racist to each other than the Chinese are to them.Plenty people have things in Dominica because of Chinese.,and that is a fact.
