How can anyone or any entity with a modicum of decency support such an event titled ‘Stink and Dutty’

Feb 26, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Recent events in our Nation have caused me to remember my mother (deceased in 2000). I remember her going to purchase meat at a stall in Bourda Market. The butcher in an attempt at being friendly greeted her with the words ” morning sweetheart”. She promptly moved to the next stall. Why? She was not his “sweetheart” and she disliked being addressed that way. But in 2022 we have persons revelling in being ‘ stink and dutty’! Really? How can anyone or any entity with a modicum of decency and decorum support or endorse such an event? Is this how we see ourselves as a Nation 52 years after becoming a Republic?

I was so mystified (or rather horrified) by that caption that I googled it to find out some more. I discovered that “Stink and Dutty” is the name of a song released in 2013 by an artiste called Blaxx. I decided to listen to the song and here are some of the words that I uncovered. “I got a attitude problem”, ” Carnival will see me wus behaviour”, ” Move outta me way because ah stink and dutty”, “messing up the whole place because ah stink and dutty”, ” pure rum and bacchanal”. This is what we want to identify with? Lord help us! Lord help our offspring!
Another issue is that such large events make a mockery of the Covid-19 protocols! How could there possibly be social distancing at such events? But the (no doubt) sweet, clean and sanitised mask- wearing unvaccinated, are denied entry into the sweet, clean sanitized banks! We couldn’t be serious!!
Regards
Claudia Heywood
