‘Every group unifies except African people’ - Cromwell Smith
'Edju En Ka' made the comments on his ‘Umoja’ show on Thursday, June 8, 2019, where he implored that despite differences, other groups unite knowing 'unity is key', yet, despite this, the people of the Virgin Islands and ‘Africans’ in general will always find ways to keep themselves divided.
Unity is Success
“I’ve heard you say many times, you the listening audience… and you know who you are that every other group can unify and get themselves together, except our group people of African descent,” Mr Smith said to his listening audience.
According to the ZBVI Radio host, “And we also say how successful these other groups are because they are united and it’s just interesting… kind of strange that we know that [unity is key], but we also always look for ways to divide us and divide ourselves and we need to take a good look at this.”
Following the launch and announcement of the Premier Andrew A. Fahie (R1) led, ‘Fast Track’ initiative, as part of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) plans to regularise undocumented immigrants in the territory, Mr Smith has accused locals of xenophobia, fueled by bitterness, hatred and malice.
“We know that unity is the key to our success but still we look for ways to separate ourselves from each other,” he implored.
Toxic Disunity
He says people of African descent will go as far as separating themselves by nationality, religion, and even skin colour shade, “in whatever ways we can think of to call ourselves unique, we find those ways.”
“A French white man is a white man, a Canadian white man is a white man, a British white man is a white man,” Mr Edju En Ka further said to reaffirm his earlier statements.
“But when it comes to African, he is a Jamaica, a Vincentian, a Christian, a Muslim, he’s a BVI Islander, he’s everything else except African… you dare not call him African, because he’s ready to kill you.”

You need to recognize the fact that YOU are OUTDATED and UNINFORMED.
Why you don't like reality and always come up with some negative bull sh**
Mr Crommel the BVI Islanders sìmply dont want to be at the ^bottom of the barrel" in their own country
My question is "Would persons of other Caribbean islands tolerate such whats happenning in their country?
unite and that is one of the issues that has keep us down. Not all races of people unite for the common good, there are divisions in every race on people on this earth, what unites people is a common cause which can be social or commerical and we see that in the BVI and other countries with the social clubs and formation of business ventures.
Nationalism is very important to every human being, the vast majority of people are proud of their country and will die to protect it. They have every right to call themselves what their nationality is and be proud of doing so. Don't call me African because I was not born in Africa.
Confused as hell? ... 4 fingers point inwards, one points out ...
They tested the bloodline of all races of humans on each continent of the world to find the oldest DNA and when they discovered it to be the Africans they took that DNA test a few more times hoping for a more clearer ‘whiter’ result, hoping against all hope that it was wrong! That it was tainted with just a little Europeans, Asian, Indian blood.... they hoped that it too was A LITTLE MIXED UP!
At that moment I wish I could have seen God smile...God is Good! Yes He is!!! LOL..
