    Good job Rosalie.

    But, unfortunately it will not be long before she is wickedly stripped of this Acting Position just like our beloved Jackie.

    Look out for the Petitions and Marches as the Racist Governor and the racists in UK take this away from her.

    Sign up now and join the 13 people march and week of activism in the name of racism and division.

    Don't let Rosalie be the next Jackie.

      How shameful for the parents who brought you into this world. They raised a person with a jealous and warped mentality. I hope God shows mercy on your kind of dead hearted, malicious creation.

    How ironic is it in the 21St. Century that a Virgin Islander cannot be either appointed or elected as Governor of the Virgin Islands ( British. This is opposite from its westerly neighbor the USVI. This is pure assishness. What do Virgin Islanders do about it? They skin and grin , steppin and fetchin. Mehson ah wah gwan? Is the Crown uncomfortable having a person of African descent represent it in the Virgin Islands?

    Generations come and generations go and the older generations need to give the follow on generations a chance, for they are next generations of leaders. Older gens must know when it is exit time to exit the stage
