I suppose you're proud of such a superficial statement.

De Re Edward Seaga.
Edward had become marginalized in his own party by young black professionals who wanted to rise above the dehumanizing traditions of garrison politics. He had taken refuge into academia becoming a Fellow of the University of the West Indies
I also suppose you're proud of such abject hypocrisy, right? Click the link and take some time to read up on yuh bwoy, Blinds.

His short stint at the University of the West Indies belied his own ambivalent relationship to the University. One former Vice Chancellor, Rex Nettleford used very sophisticated language to mock Seaga’s claim to be a rigorous social scientist. This sophistication was necessary because Nettleford understood the vindictiveness of Edward Seaga in Jamaica. Anthony Abrahams had understood this vindictiveness when he attempted to come clean on the relationships between Seaga, money laundering and Tisona.

Anthony was a frightened man after his experiences with that thug. I know that first hand.

Former Prime Minister PJ Patterson, who won three consecutive general elections against Seaga and the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) between 1983 and 2002, urged the congregation to join him in “singing the praises of a famous man of our generation”.
“Our views did not always coincide on a vast range of national issues and external policies, but that consideration and that habit of division will not prevent me from paying my humble tribute to a titanic warrior,” Patterson said.

Good for him - funny how he allowed the black scandal bag insult to stand.
Seaga led the most racist campaign ever seen in Jamaica against Patterson.

I will continue to keep it real.

I read were the PNP were rocked by many scandals at the time and he held up what was known then as scandal bags to prove the point. What color were these bags?

How did he do this?

Was that the time when PJ's slogan was Black Man time?

“I am from the community of Denham Town [one of the communities of West Kingston where Mr. Seaga served as the Member of Parliament for 43 years], and I was sponsored by Mr. Seaga to attend Edna Manley in 1995. He did a lot for Jamaica. I am a self-taught artist with painting and he invested in my talent,” Mr. Robinson told JIS News.
