They Still Have Much to Learn

Black ingratitude over the transatlantic work ethic is once more rampant in the Caribbean, where the island of Grenada is emulating beastly Barbados, back-stabbing Belize and treasonous Trinidad by openly subverting the British royal family. Like other nations in the increasingly insubordinate Caribbean, Grenada is pushing for reparations over the slave trade, just because the British royal family happened to be involved in it; almost as if hereditary privilege might somehow imply hereditary responsibility, in defiance of all proper royal precedent. In equally grotesque defiance of all proper democratic practice, the government and opposition of Grenada have now united over something other than wog-bombing or selling off public assets for private profit, and have agreed to amend the constitutional pledge of allegiance. Rather than swearing loyalty to the British monarch and their heirs and successors, citizens will now be required to pledge themselves to, of all things, their own country.
