See the narrative already... "vandalized" nope. We do not acknowledge any form of vandalism. What we witnessed was the partial removal of a problematic historical figure that many Bahamians having been calling for the removal from public space. Period!
The statue of Christopher Columbus at Government House was vandalized today. The right arm and leg on the statue were smashed.
The statue has since been covered. 📸 Torrell Glinton

I just want Bahamians to see how easy what is happening in Palestine could happen here. To publicly and casually suggest genociding the majority black population is mentally unstable behaviour.
Yes, but only if we also rounded up of all the Black and Mulatto Bahamians and sent them back to Africa or otherwise removed them.
Having to give them citizenship upon annexation would make it not worth the effort.

Here’s a clip from the 1930s of our Bahamian ancestors “begging for coins.” There is alot more photos and films of this occurring from all around British colonies. They never make the connection between our impoverished circumstances and the violence of colonialism.
I was talking to my Grammy the other day (born 1950) and fun fact: this was a similar reality for Bahamians in the 60s where boys would jump in the water to catch coins thrown by tourists from cruise ships

Honestly, until this country starts collecting data on LGBTQ+ people, I can never take this as being accurate because y’all are erasing entire key populations by lumping us into categories we do not identify as.
There are more women than men in The Bahamas, according to the preliminary results for the 2022 census.
"The 2022 census preliminary results show the total population of The Bahamas to be 399,314, with a sex distribution of 192,544 males and 206,770 females," it notes.

Yes! Y’all asking these questions as if the Government is supposed to have facilities on every island. Like what world do you live. Everything is supposed to be on each island that is what effective and efficient governments do in a archipelagic nation. There should be no need to
Many out islands (like Mayaguana where this photo was taken) don't have facilities to house them. Should the government build facilities on every island to hold illegal immigrants? Absolutely but other than asking residents to house them what you want them to do?

No, no, no... it's an issue your administration does not want to discuss. Bahamian women don't need to discuss any procedure they fly to have in the states or get done here illegally because successive administrations fail to provide them access to social institutions

Maybe it’s just me but wanting a quick fix solution to a problem that took years to develop and saying that if we wait on “education and social intervention we will be at 100 by summer” seems very anti-intellectual coming from a Doctor. Also this is exactly the panic and fear
“over policing doesn’t work, capital punishment doesn’t work!”
SO please tell us what gonna work today when we nearly 1:1 days to murders! Because if we wait on education and social intervention we’ll be near 100 by summer!
