Is it just black-men who traffic drugs here in the Caribbean?speaking on the condition of anonymity i have been saying this for years.when a white person come here to this country they have 24 hrs to declare.who is checking them.when they come with these luxurious vessels they anchor in the harbor then one person can come ashore and clear a vessel.we so ignorant to the fact,we dont know the history and the back ground we smile with them,and they can go their jolly way.for years white people have been trafficking drugs through the Caribbean undetected but we here so narrow minded to the fact,upon thinking that white people dont commit crime and we allow this trend to continue,just recently the mega luxurious yacht via en route through the Caribbean loaded here in the British Virgin Islands ON to another carrier headed for South Hampton Uk with a street value of over $300,000,000.00 worth of pure cocaine if they did this and went through undetected who is to say that they have done this on one or more occasion.then there was another mega luxurious yacht that was stopped in Pureto Rico that was registered to here In the British Virgin Islands busted with cocaine,once again white people like i said only the locals they continue to put pressure on and the white man continue to smile and walk free ain't that something.
