You People!

Posted By: Ivan Butcher II on May 17, 2011 Now, I know that I am Old School, because of my time spent growing up in America during the 50's and 60's, and what I know and have experienced, is that when someone said to you, You People, that they were referring to the ethnic group that you represent. Well, the fact that I am Black, and the remark was made in a tone, that the Black locals were responsible for the beach area being filthy dirty. At the public meeting Tues. evening, @eat cane bay, Cane Bay, St. Croix, to introduce the owner's plans to petition to have the road changed and rerouted away from the beach area. I happened to be standing near, who turned out to be the owner of the Dive Shop there, and he began instigating in favor of the change. I asked him if he owned his business, what I was trying to ask if he owned the property, but he began telling me about how for the past 20+ years he has been clean up behind You People. I then asked what did he mean by you people, he then repeated about how he was sick and tired of having to spent time and money cleaning up behind You People and then told me, F**K You, in front of witnesses. Now to me, the proud owner of the Cane Bay Dive Shop is a perfect example of the kind of attitude that is planned for this and other areas here on St. Croix. The reasoning for the road change can be addressed, just by widening the road. What is most disturbing is that the owner, who once ran for high office here used the slogan, "I grieve for the People of the Virgin Islands". Now, the proud owner of the Cane Bay Dive Shop, What is my Recourse? Ivan Butcher II St.Croix If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
