FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – She had a voice that danced like sunshine through warm Sunday mornings, wafting so sweet in her Jamaican church that Sophia George’s friend said it must be heard throughout the land. And because Sophia’s friend knew someone looking for a singer, she insisted Sophia go to the audition. So on the prescribed day, Sophia arrived at the studio and met a Chinese man with a Jamaican accent. He picked a song for her to sing,
“Girlie Girlie,â€
and she sang a few notes until the man said to stop.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

and when Dave6 tells the Syrian Story I hope he tells it in a wider mode, full of truth and a way forward for the westindies, inclusive of all its people in democracy and prosperity.
resolution based on truth, acceptance of the past as it was, clearing away all the bile, assuring forgiveness all around and a new start on building a democratic and peaceful societY, NON-RACIAL, NON-RACIST, NON CLASS, a society functioning in the ineterest of all.
that is the goal..must be the goal if we are to survive. and all positive work must be geared in this direction, to produce the saving result.
narow, sectarian perspectives will now longer work, conribute to anything good, just satisfy minority cravings for a flawed legitimacy, that dave6 is trying to satisfy.
it is a legitiimacy that thses groupd now suddenly want that cud have had but by joining up the movement for westindian independence but rejected fifty years ago.
their honest nationalist participation might have been the factor that solved the puzzle back then for people like Bustamante wud never have done his malicious work of wrecking the federation.
and with those powerful 'minorities' on board the federation wud have had real social backing by capable callses of people, to move forward independently in the face of western opposition to real indpendence for the region
dave6s; wuk is way to narrow. let him widen it and i will be on his side in a shot

did you watch the film? the exploiter? do the people of seaford town look like they have been living high of the negro? do they look rich? how did German peasants and their descendants living in isolation in the westmoreland mountains ever harm you, how did middle class chinese shop keepers whos ancestors came as indentured servants ever hurt you? all these people came after emancipation.
and you are upset that blacks were not spoken with? guess what i tried to get the perspective of the black community both on the street and in the universities and all the of the history, caribbean studies professors would not speak to me, and few people on the streets of kingston and montego bay would speak to me they were less than friendly to the white man with a camera.
so they are not included and that was their own choice.
i recall offering all of my critics who had harsh words for me via internet a chance to have interview but they were only brave over a keyboard and not in front of a camera all turned down the chance to be included in this project.

this man dave6..is begining to reduce the level of impression I had of his intellect.
no wonder I have trouble with is doc! he does not understand the society he is describing. he does not have a clue about wat I say.
his appoach is emotional and not coldy analytical. hence is appeal.."did the people of so and so harnm any blac people, expoit any blac people etc"
I am wasting my time. the man does not understand!

what the hell is your point... yes they migrated after slavery they are not the descendents of slave masters as you try to portray them. and the documentary is not finished i will update you when the next portion is uploaded and it deals with the subject of racism and colonial slavery.
