A government reneging on a promise is always a serious matter. Now granted, the Jamaica Tourist Board may find itself cash-strapped, but then it shouldn't have made the promise in the first place.

and therefore, he should actually pull the tournament and go where he thinks the venture would succeed. but to invoke his philantrophy in the midst of this dispute to me as a bit unethical.

this is the troublesome part of the article to me:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Stephenson, who through his organisation, RISARC, has donated some 600 com-puters to primary schools across Jamaica over the last four years, and who plans to contribute 400 brand-new Dell machines valued at US$500,000 (J$45 million) this year, said he would not stop supporting education here, but would take his massive US$3 million (J$267 million) production to another country.</div></div>
the juxtaposition of his contribution of computers with his threat to move the tournament seems to imply that because of the one he expected the other, and in some way that mention of the one may help to move the government to action on the other.

i'll allow a bit that this may be the media's framing and not necessarily mr. stephenson's.

in any event, his other comment...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">&quot;Jamaica doesn't recognise what we are doing,&quot; he stated, adding that when he started CCGI, the objective was to change the image of Jamaica, a job he believes he has done successfully.</div></div>

...shows me that he has taken too much on himself (why is Jamaica's image of concern to him such that he feels he can actively try to change it?), and makes me question even more what exactly is the nature of this &quot;philantrophy.&quot;

if ur positioning urself as a philantropist, then ur doing good works without care for return. if ur trying to use your gifting to leverage greater returns for urself, then to me that's not philanthropy.

this is a separate argument from the one aobut whether im a get run around from the govt cause im black. and mi no really inna dat deh argument today.

</div></div>They will treat him with less respect because he is black and not spending his money with them or on their pet projects.
But the majoroty of what is labelled philantropy is actually a benefit to the head of the organizations.
The majority of thes organizations spend up to 90% of their eranings on administartion of the organization. and usuall less than 10% on the cause.
