<p>me, of course.</p>
<p>Umm. ok.
Lets list all of the reasons why we like bendie:
1. She doesn't go to my school</p>
<p>I have a question. Simple. How old are you? Do you really live in the Bahamas?</p>
<p>I'm 17 and yes I live in the Bahamas</p>
<p>Also out of curiousity, what is your ethnicity then?</p>
<p>Im a black youth angry at the world for no apparent reason</p>
<p>Okay, well that didn't really answer my question. You told me your race, not your ethnicity, two very different things. For instance, I am caucasion but that is not my ethnicity. Technically hispanics are considered of the white race. </p>
<p>I have honestly always wondered if a person is from the Bahamas, what is their ethnicity?</p>
<p>The summarize most of the people here....... Mostly Christian society. Its alot like the black people in the US. Alot of ghetto people. Not much differences other than the dialect and some of the cultural stuff like junkanoo</p>
<p>Okay. So are people in the Bahamas originally from Africa?</p>
<p>Yup. Mostly descendants of black slaves</p>
<p>Okay, so what would you say your black to white ratio is? And is racism still imminent?</p>
<p>its like 85% blacks and about 12% white. Racism was evident up until the mid 60's but thats all done away with. If you ever find a racist person chances are he isn't from here. Oddly Enough I went to a school with about 50-50 white ad black. Its the "rich, preppy" school.</p>
<p>So if there are white people, what would you say their nationality usually is? American, Dutch, or what? And is the Bahamas a sovereign state with an independent government?</p>
<p>Yea its independant. Most of the white people are either English or American. There are quite a few people of Greek descent as well.</p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions, but what kind of government do you have?</p>
<p>I got this from wikipedia. its just about right</p>
<p>The Bahamas is an independent country and member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Political and legal traditions closely follow those of the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>The Queen of England is the ceremonial head of state, represented by a Bahamian governor-general. Prime Minister is the head of government and is the leader of the party with the most seats in the elected House of Assembly. The upper house - or Senate - is appointed. Executive power is exercised by the cabinet. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament.</p>
<p>The party system is dominated by the centre-left Progressive Liberal Party and the centre-right Free National Movement. A handful of splinter parties have been unable to win election to parliament, despite a feeling among many Bahamians that both the FNM and the PLP are strikingly similar in their approach. These parties include the Bahamas Democratic Movement, the Coalition for Democratic Reform and the Bahamian Nationalist Party.</p>
<p>Constitutional safeguards include freedom of speech, press, worship, movement, and association. The Bahamas is a member of the Caribbean Community. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. Jurisprudence is based on English common law.</p>
<p>i personally think both major parties are center right. There is no difference in thier strategies</p>
