        @asking for a friend: we are so stupid to not realize that after self determination we will still have the UK representative where his title move from governor with added prefix " governor general" so there you have it colonialism just extended itself in what you call elongation. All the independent Caribbean countries still swear to the UK and have a UK representative, but the only difference is that the politicians will not be restrain by the governor so at that time natalio can pay Vybz Kartel quarter million USD ten thousand times and throw parties weekly and fly daily, and guess what! if the the people protest he can order the pice to pepper spray and tear gas the people and arrest them like Roosevelt skerrit is doing in Dominica and ruto in Kenya is doing to the gen"z" , the black leaders will become worst than the white man, not saying we not to take care of ourselves, we need a political ideology and culture, unelected organization like the church and rotary club and others gotta be vented to meet our developmental needs, because presently the church is a participator of the ethno supremacists doctrine, that's the reason it parade a white god or Jesus to a black nation who is subjected to be inferior dependents of such deity.

      At asking for a friend ...Especially one that was undemocratically "Selected" to serve. The VI had no say in that process
