So your father was happy to be told that to be an Indian meant cutting cane and to be a black meant being a stevedore. There was massive discrimination in the colonial days and few of us had the opportunity to reach the highest professional levels. Even being a bank teller then meant one had to be white or very light skinned. If you were black you didn't even get hired as a sales clerk at Fogarty's and at Bookers Universal one had to be white.
But that is the world that you want. Back as a child where daddy knew best and told you not to have high aspirations.
Dem putagee peopkle never worry me fadda. Me fadda seh how colonial time better because abie na had to bar up abie window and worry bout choke and rob in GT. De place deh clean and order too. Me cant wait foh vote foh dem wite man come back.
