But yes, no matter your colour, if you don't go to the right schools and have the right family ties, you're always going to be on the outside with your nose pressed to the glass. </div></div>

What are you talking about Gourmet? Calgary is one of the most "red neck" areas of Canada. Some a de people dem REALLY have a cowboy mentality. </div></div>HOLD IT THERE SISTAH...Calgary is a very metropolitian city AND Cowboy's are not red-necks. Alberta is a red-neck province but Calgary is NOT a red-neck city. And the mentality is "old boy" not cowboy.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: gourmet</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Maybe it's a pattern in all former British colonies. </div></div>It was not true in Jamaica when they were going on about it. But it is certainly not true now, but in case I am wrong the blame is not with the whites but the Politicians who have used race, colour and shade to destroy Jamaica.

It is said that Barbados has an economy five times stronger than Jamaica's - what did Barbados do differently to advance its economy?
