Talking about Metropole, I was robbed of a pair of brand new Dunlop sneakers I just bought and was on my way to see a flick at Metropole.  

All top positions in the government, army and police were African dominated except for token Indians.  What else would it take to make you a second class citizen when you cannot get to the highest level you are capable of?

Hoyte tried to change things but the Burnham structure was hard to break.

VVP,

Great you shared your experience.

I worked in that area 1976 to 1985 never got robbed,one of my co-worker a town man got robbed at Metropole,seems like town boys were targets,bear in mind not putting down any one.

If there is any good story to this was that I told a black cop that I got robbed and he went walking around with me to see if we could find the guys.  We went all the way to vendors arcade. 

Even though Africans tend to be the majority of robbers in those days, there were lots of Africans that would kill them if they caught them robbing.  This is the town man experience
