Bahama Drama would rather be hated for good, than loved for evil

By: Michael Elijah Muhammad Clare

I need to say something that might not sit right with everyone, but it’s been weighing on me for quite some time now as I’m on the daily grind in my country the Bahamas.

This isn’t about being anti-Bahamian. I love this country even though it seems to put Bahamian’s last amongst other things. But loving my country also means being honest about the things we all are struggle with on a daily basis as paper citizens of the Bahamas.

We live in a time where emotions around immigration, especially concerning Haitians in The Bahamas, are intense. And I understand why. There are real concerns about resources, identity, and fairness.

I feel that for real…

But at the same time, we can’t ignore the human side of this thing.

Imagine being born here. You grow up here. You speak like everyone else, go to school like everyone else, dream like everyone else. This is the only place you know as home. But somehow, you’re still treated like you don’t belong.

That’s not a political issue first. That’s a human one, and we all know that when we put all of the bullshit aside of our internal egos!

Across the world, countries wrestle with this same question. In places like the United States, if you’re born there, you are recognized as a citizen from birth. Not because it solves everything, but because it acknowledges something fundamental we can all agree with; a child shouldn’t inherit exclusion.

The Bahamas has to seriously reflect on that idea.

Not from a place of weakness. Not from a place of losing identity. But from a place of strength and moral identity where we decide what kind of nation we truly want to be.

Even if you completely disagree, consider this:

No one chooses where they are born. No one chooses the legal status of their parents. Yet those two things can shape an entire life sometimes limiting it before it even begins.

And many of those Haitian families didn’t come here out of luxury. They came out of survival. Out of hope. Out of the same instinct any human being has in the history of the world to find a better life for their offspring.

That doesn’t make the issue simple. But it does make it human.

We don’t have to all agree on policy. But we should be able to recognize struggle, dignity, and humanity, no matter where someone’s parents came from.

At the end of the day, this isn’t just about Haitians. It’s about who we are morally as Bahamian’s because our grandparents actually invited them into the Bahamas in the old days!

And whether we can hold both truth and compassion at the same time, that’s truly up to you as a person for real.
