*Dangerous, disturbing and dastardly. Stop the race-baiting!*
If the statements printed in today’s media that “they are going to give people of a certain race gun to shoot people of another race because they are saying that the crime in this country, which we know is across the board, is one race attacking another” and attributed to the Prime Minister at his St. James meeting last evening, are in fact accurate, and Keith Rowley did in fact utter these words, then we have arrived in perilous waters, not only during this campaign season, but we must now take note of the Prime Minister of a country, virtually, race-baiting and inciting those who may fall prey to his inflammatory language.
Keith Rowley’s tirade at the St. James meeting presented as a desperate attempt at the politics of old, by throwing everything at an opponent, and hoping something will stick, except this time, it was everything he has regurgitated over the years, with not one thread of uniqueness, or fact, as is evidenced by all the contrived reports being rubbished in and out of court, most of the State matters related being challenged, and absolutely nothing in terms of evidence based fact. In other words, simply regurgitated ole talk, which even his own supporters grew bored and tired of hearing, to the point that even they [his own supporters] started loudly protesting in that said meeting.
What did present itself at that meeting however, is a man that will stop at nothing to ensure his modus operandi of divide and conquer must continue by any means necessary, even if it means inciting virtual racial tensions and racial divisions. His desperation to remain in office, by any means necessary became evident to the extent that this inflammatory language can be construed as a direct threat to the security of the citizens of this country.
I condemn this behaviour and language in the strongest possible terms, and I call upon the Council for responsible political behaviour to act on this inflammatory, disdainful and disturbing language. I call on all religious organisations to condemn such inflammatory and divisive race-baiting. I call upon the business community to call the Prime Minister to account, and stop this divisiveness with immediate effect. I encourage all other political leaders to call out the reprehensible actions of the Prime Minister.
Regardless of your political affiliation, each of you are acutely aware of the consequences of such irresponsible and reckless verbiage on the psyche of the nation, and such whistle calls must be condemned in the most robust manner.
