Whatever happened to West Indian pride?

[BallOil]

"Who is this film for?" As obvious as the question was, it was not, perhaps, quite obvious enough. Why else would it have to be asked twice?

Hinting as it does at self-destruction, Fire in Babylon is the somewhat deceptive title of Stevan Riley's terrific documentary about the West Indies teams that, between the first day of the eighties and May 3, 1995, ruled cricket with an enlightened despotism unmatched, arguably, by any sporting team of any persuasion, in any era.

"The things that had driven us in the past were no longer important to the newer generation. Black pride and its militancy, the shrugging off of our colonial legacy, Frank Worrell completing the West Indian version of the Jackie Robinson journey, these things have been historically severed"

Which is why, 15 years after the empire was finally brought down by Steve Waugh's grimly devoted double-hundred in Jamaica, the ambition is less apparent, the motives so readily questioned. "We need to recognise that the nationalist passions of an earlier time have been significantly weakened and cannot be rekindled by patriotic speeches so long as the actions of the state on a daily basis question its own relevance."

this is the kernel as far as I am concerned: "the nationalist passoins of an earlier time have been........"

that is deliberate, purposeful destruction of the westindian national potential as a nation, developing, capable and self-reliant in the world. that is the purpose of traditional powers outside the westindies, the imperium now taken over by Jewish financial power....and in collusion with the westindian elite both consciously and unconsciously.

the politicians know whats going orn, they always did in every generation since independence. the father of independence and the destroyers of the federation knew the betrayal they had pulled of. Patrick Manning knew, and the Manleys and Bustamantes, Adams, Birds Compton etc. and all the current boys know....including Kamla abd jagdeo.

bu a skunt like Hunter does not know, is an ignorant ass as Hilaire is not, as Ledder Face Gordon, Teddy Griffith, Wes Hall knew for they are smart,experienced men of a quality beyond asshole Hunte.

another damm fool was Rosseau (while Clarvis Joseph was simply an effete, decayed and corrupt muther) these help the defeat of the westindies by forrin intent, convinced that what they are doing is the right thing! just like idiot, intransigent elitist skunt Hunte.

thats why i dislike than man Julian Hunte so much. the aura of downright, extreme stupidty about him is so great it is an embarassment, not to mention the awful effect it has had on westindies cricket. the man should resign and go bury huimself somewhere to prevent himself from being used against is own people and the westindian nation
