this is really sad. i love T&T. although they do have random spikes in crime. for example, i hear a number of their skyscrapers downtown were built with drug money. well hey at least they put that money to use. anyhoot T&T is the bomb!

  to have the gaul to state that all blacks have bad credit, is a very ignorant statement. Just because you come a family that is no good and can’t buy gum on credit, doesnt mean that the rest of the black population is the same. HOW DARE YOU? Don’t be sorry for T&T becase the aren’t sorry for you. YOu should be uplifting the black race and all of that the people as a whole have overcome. Its people like you that will never make it in the world and will always stay bitter.
