Immigration. Its History. Its Legacy

Presentation by Citizens Uprooting Racism in Bermuda (CURB). March 11, 2016, Cathedral Hall

March 19, 2016

Romanticism, denial and wilful ignorance

Opinion

November 4, 2014
By Rolfe Patton Commissiong

I recently had the opportunity to speak to a Bermudian style Rasta of African Descent the other day who – noting my long standing anti-racism advocacy – basically asserted that he was not prepared to listen to anything concerning racism and white behavior in perpetuating it until we recognize that black Africans participated and sold […]
