i wasnt... but i was jus looking for some root causes of your beliefs... i dont think 100% of your beliefs come from the media's view of the USA and AA and RACISM, i suspected some of it came from personal experience. funny how the triniwhites are merely sub-10% of your population yet are the most affluent, by and large, and then i found a bit of resentment in regards to their actions, and their ability to have that money handed down, by mommy and daddy...
its no wonder why white people are viewed the way we are viewed... in the international eyes... generally speaking... i wonder if other countries see the same kind of white boy behaviour? tony On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 16:02:20 -0400, Angel Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > They live mostly on the Western tip of the island, with a small population of > about 50,000 - 70,000 'Trini' Whites (I forget what > percentage of the population they are...less than 10% I believe and we just > have about 1.2 million people on the island). > > They stick together in little cliques most times.
