“Conceited self-righteous sophomaniacs” is how Prime Minister Gaston Browne described Sunday’s guests for
The Big Issues, one of whom is a stalwart of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP), and all of whom were critical of his recent “pretty young ladies” comment on Facebook.
The “sophomaniacs” who joined the panel on Sunday were Dr Oswald Thomas, political analysist and long-time member of the ABLP; Carlon Knight, commentator and student; and Dr Kristina Hinds, Senior Lecturer in Political Science and International Relations at The University of the West Indies (UWI) Cavehill. The host was Kieron Murdoch. You can listen to the episode here.

Panelists call for sensitisation to colorism in the Caribbean
The matter of colorism has been a social issue which has been plaguing the black community for some time.
Colorism is defined as prejudice or discrimination against individuals with dark skin tones, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group.
Across the world, the discussion has gone to new levels following reports of persons with kinky hair or “locs” being denied jobs or even not being permitted to attend specific schools.
Academics and researchers often trace this norm in Black societies in the Americas, back to colonial slavery societies –which married the idea of having dark skin – with the idea of ugliness and low worth.
