Golding, how dare you!
Dear Editor,
I was shocked and sick to my stomach to hear Mark Golding tell a People’s National Party (PNP) meeting in St Andrew East Rural recently that the people of Jamaica want him as prime minister to govern with a set of “tapanaris” around him.
Now “tapanaris”, as I understand it, makes reference to upper-class people who consider themselves to be above other demographics of our population who were not born into wealth or have not accumulated significant resources or status in society.
I am befuddled that the PNP president could make such a remark and ascribe such a desire to the Jamaican people. How dare you, Mark Golding!
