Why would they wait to now to do it? If they did this in the late 90's, early 2000's, the money would be piling up by now from tourists.
But to me it wouldn't be smart to divide all the Caribbean people up into their own "little ____", this is still America, and you are still seen as black, so its best to unite first, then do the separation. If you don't want to unite with black americans, at least unite with each other!
I wonder why can't black people see what is going on with them in this WORLD, especially this country, try to work as a unit, get some power, THEN focus on the specific groups. We always try to compare to others, and never see the real truths behind everything. All the "little ___" places in NYC have countries with strong power, and can speak for these people when they are treated wrong, not one black country can do the same! This is why police can mistreat black people, and get away with it, if they try that with any other group in these "little ___" the motherland would make a stop happen, or there would be trade repercussions.
The older I get, the more my dream of us getting power just slowly goes away, we don't seem to want to accept the situation we are in, and use or power in numbers to our advantage. Instead we have want to be liked, even if that means having crumbs on the table, and a foot in our ass.
