Crucians Preparing to March on St. John
From the St. Thomas Source today:
"From Hurricane Hole to Cruz Bay, our people need to feel comfortable going from one side of the island to another," Kherishetapheru told the crowd.
Is that really true? Are St. Johnians really afraid to cross their own island? I have to question the language of the comment - when someone says "our people" and not "all people" or the "people of St. John" it so obviously feeds into the whole "us and them" mentality, and obviously the "us and them" that Dr. Kherishetapheru is talking about are black people and white people.
