Leadership is inconsequential if you aren’t the outright powerbroker, “led” is just obfuscation. The Bahamas has the highest level of inequality in the Caribbean according to the applicable coefficient used to determine that. White and mixed-race elites hold a disproportionate share of the nation’s wealth and land. Barbados is similarly unequal and curry cacs and cacs hold the overwhelming majority of land and wealth. Guyana is majority curry cac and they’re similarly the over represented holders of capital.

Black people are apart of the elite in these respective nations but they acquired wealth through professions via schooling. Like Black people in America they were similarly barred from wealth acquisition through racist colonial laws that prohibited voting and the holding of political office on the basis of education (a population of formerly enslaved subsistence famers obviously didn’t have the income to finance paywalled primary, secondary and tertiary education) and land ownership on the basis of race (cacs own 75% of the land in Barbados).

these issues are implicit in what i wrote.

otherwise i would have named the one with the highest GDP per capita and have been done with it.

and the situation is not as stark as brehdom in the USA.

obviously.

What is brehdom? The racial wealth disparity is analogous to that of America. If it wasn’t like I’m assuming you’re saying, then the Caribbean wouldn’t be overrepresented in global brain drain statistics. White and multiracial people make up the base of the elite strata across the Caribbean, whether it’s an Anglophone, Francophone, Hispanophone or Néerlandophone nation.​

Yeah I honestly don't care at all. Black folks need to get themselves together before even thinking about having a whole country. nikkahs is struggling on a micro level, a country the last thing we should be thinking of
Do you really get yourself together on a micro level without a macro vision?

That’s kind of like a rogue cell in a whole body talking about “I’m a do my own thing”.

They call that cancer

seriously? :mjlol:

absolute ballacks.

the situation is not the same.

led includes management of large companies, the police, the courts, the schools ... and in majority black countries it is still black people performining those roles.

the psychology and reality of being in a oppressive system where others dominate these functions (and more) should be apparent by 2026 so you are talking ballacks.

If it wasn’t like I’m assuming you’re saying, then the Caribbean wouldn’t be overrepresented in global brain drain statistics.​

he said "led". it's not the elites that are leaving i.e. this is irrelevant. GINI and "who rules" a country are not the same thing braniac.

they leave because of high GINI.

White and multiracial people make up the base of the elite strata across the Caribbean, whether it’s an Anglophone, Francophone, Hispanophone or Néerlandophone nation.​

i named names. this is just you trying to muddy the waters. anglo caribbean countries are not as polarised on race as the spanish and french and you know it.

as for "néerlandophone" nationS? really?

#1 it’s “bollocks” you fukking imbecile, since you hurl insults. Black people in America are apart of the management of large companies, the police, courts and schools too, what does that even mean?

That wasn’t the point being made, they’re interrelated. GINI is relevant to who rules a country you dolt. When a nation scores high its indicates a small elite (which so happens to be NON-BLACK in the Caribbean) holds the most resources, directly reflecting a concentration of economic power. High inequality often signifies that political and economic power is concentrated among a few, allowing elites to influence policies that maintain their wealth, while low inequality suggests more equitable power distribution.

How is racial polarization relevant when this personal back and forth is centered on systemic issues related to the legacy of inherently racist colonial laws. And the Caribbean would be just as racially polarized as America if non-Blacks didn’t own the media and the education system wasn’t still colonial centered. The average Jamaican for instance doesn’t even know about racist anti-vagrancy laws, racist squatter regulations, racist tenancy laws, racist master and servant acts, racist marriage act and racist arbitrary taxation laws that are responsible for their disproportionate squalor. On average the furthest they go into racist law is the period of apprenticeship and a smidgen of history on the Morant Bay Rebellion. And I’m sure this is the nature of the education system across the Caribbean. We’re not racially polarized because of brainwashing.

Depends what you mean by prosperous
Peoplen always want to play semantic games instead of discussing the spirit of the conversation.

So instead of debating whether GDP or some other measure actually means "prosperous", how about this thought experiment: If every person on the planet was asked which 2nd country they want a passport to, which countries would be on the top and which on the bottom?

i don't have time for remedial back and forth :hubie:

you are on time-out :ufdup:
The verbiage of someone with imbecilic argumentation who refuses to concede during an argument. It’s okay, just humble yourself next time and tweak your analytical framework a bit. In no time your debating skills will improve. You got this pal.

I think you’d be surprised at which passports are considered the strongest
