Does Racism Exist Trinidad and Tobago?


In Trinidad and Tobago

From The Horse Mouth

It is said that black people accept anyone, an inherent characteristic of the black race is its ability to see people as people and not as a race.  

There was a time when being black was the most important thing in the world.  That was a revolutionary time, black people pushed back on the people they called the oppressors, the white race.

From Oakland California, to our tiny islands, Trinidad and Tobago. the Black Power movement raged like wildfire igniting in the hearts of the young black population in the Caribbean. The cries were loud permeating every fabric of our society.  "Power To The People" 

The People, meant everyone, except what is now known in T&T as the "one percent", they controlled the purses in T&T.

Today, more than fifty years later everything has changed, yet everything has stayed the same. The same one percenter, same class, and race determine the futures of the poor struggling citizens. 

Here is one man's, Inshan Ishmeal, perception of racism in Trinidad and Tobago between Afro and Indo Trinbagonians.  






So what do you think?  Do you agree or disagree?
