Eileene L. Parsons is 'part of the problem’ in VI– Cindy Rosan
Ms Parsons, during a panel discussion at H. Lavity Stoutt Community College in Paraquita Bay, Tortola, on Virgin Islands Day, July 4, 2022, indicated that her personal opinion is that a Virgin Islander should be able to trace his or her heritage for three generations on both sides.
Her comments immediately sparked conversations on the topic and angered several persons who believe the opinion has desecrated their right at being called a Virgin Islander.
Cindy Rosan, while speaking as a telephone guest on the Tuesday, July 5, 2022, edition of the International Morning Braff Show with host Floyd Burnett aka 'Heritage' on Tola Radio, said Ms Parsons does not get to have a personal opinion like that.
Parsons still influential in VI- Cindy Rosan
“I know everybody wants to say that’s her personal opinion, but Ms Parsons doesn’t get to get a personal opinion like that. She was a legislator, she is still a public figure, she is still influential in the territory,” Rosan added.
“She doesn’t get to make a personal opinion like that, especially since she sat in our House [of Assembly] for three terms and compounded this issue, she’s a part of this problem,” Rosan underscored.
She said while everyone has a right to a personal opinion, there are some personal opinions that shouldn’t see the light of day.
Parsons 'out of touch' with VI - Julio S. Henry
Meanwhile, social commentator Julio S. Henry aka 'Sam' has accused the former legislator, Parsons, of being out of touch with the Virgin Islands.
“She's out of touch, she's out of sync with what we are saying and what we are feeling, how we are feeling, so when she makes comments, she makes comments in a certain circle,” he said.
Mr Henry, who plans to have a talk show on ZBVI radio, said it is important for him to be able to talk to the older generation on different issues.
“We are not able to talk to her and reason with her because you know, again, she's not listening to Tola [radio], so I need to go on ZBVI to be able to talk to people like her,” he added.

But now that Cindy Rosan Jones has disagreed with her, I am wondering if perhaps Mrs Parsons was correct.
It's how " t h ey" raise their children.
The fill to capacity prison population is at least 99.9% they and their children.
The new VI is a population of hundreds of different nationalities.
"They" and only they are the terminators of what made the VI exceptionally an exception.
"They "were born and dragged up in a specific location and where their grandparents were born....updeislun!!!, a place where civility ,based on the human behaviour of most is predictably and rouyinrly demonstrated as uncivilized .and destructive. We cannot change and revise this crop of human DNA. No such magic wand. Their import and installation in massive amounts in the VI,was an act of self anhialation by power hungry local elected members of a certain political party in exchange for votes..Karma fixin dat as we debate. The VI and its people are blessed. No good deed goes unpunished. Our ancestors and the Divine is with us.We gonna be OK.
Land mass . We will become another grub of humanity ashamed to be identified and related to the. VI,poor in Spirit begging to be like somebody.
No YOU Cindy are a part of the problem. Empty barrels just making the most noise and seeking attention...trying to be the next Noel Lloyd. Pay your r**t and d***s.
my money / one AH we would of end up in PeebLes and the other up balo ) and am sorry he didn't get a vacation up balo
I s it wrong what Cindy Rosan said, when she said that Eileene L. Parsons is part of the problem in the VI?
Let us keep it real. I would not have said word by word the same way Cindy Rosan did, but just because Cindy Rosan is sometimes radical in statements that she said in the past, what makes you think that she is wrong about Eileene L. Parsons difinition on the issue of who is, singular, or who are, plural, genuine Virgin Islanders?
TheWe are experiencing great Division among ourselves. We Humans are all inperfect, including, Eileene L. Parsons, Cindy Rosan, you, I and others. The truth is the truth.

HE IS NOT A FULL BREED
IF A TOLA WOMAN WAS BREED WITH A SANTO MAN THAT CHILD IS A HALF BREED!
You don’t have no control of where you are born or who you born to. Pretending your birth circumstance makes you better than other humans is a fairy story to make you feel more secure and good about your weak lil self.
Try to understand you are just one of billions of humans on earth, each one unique in God’s eyes, all telling ourselves fairytales to give us a little. ego boost God doesn’t judge us the way you nazi genetics people do.
I don’t look down on no other islands we are all one born diff places.

Insult anyone going back to 3 generations to be a trini.
