whats embarrassing is you trying to equate mom and pop shops owned by blacks with multinational corporations that dominate the st thomas economy
apparently you dont really understand your own island, its like this
black people run the VI in terms of politics but in terms of economics black people are marginalized,
i feel like i just told a kid santa claus doesn't exist, you really need to study the economics and understand whats going on
whites control the tourism and banking, arabs control the gold shops and retail, and you are being invaded by dominicans, (half of them illegal taking low skilled jobs from blacks, the other half prostitutes
, but i digress)
that's the basic situation, you obviously have your head in the sands, i noticed all the stuff just from being there a few days and talking to people
