THE EDITOR: Would the Emancipation Support Committee, NJAC and NAEAP and to some extent the PNM raise sonorous praise for their people for what they have done for Trinidad and Tobago through Sport? We often hear all we can do is ‘beat’ pan and not beat book, we are involved in petty drug trafficking and urban warfare, we all over the jail and madhouse and we are all over the place as vagrants.

Once it is a negative picture they call the name African-Trinbagonian but when it is positive behaviour we are now Trinbagonian.

Time for us to start talking positively ad infinitum. This sonorous praise that I am suggesting should be directed specifically at the ill-spoken-about African youths in Trinidad and Tobago who are either unaware or unappreciative of the incomparably massive extent to which African-Trinbagonians have been putting Trinidad and Tobago on the world stage in every considerable endeavour especially over the last 50 years.
