THE EDITOR, Sir:
I READ, with incredulity, the story of Roy D'Cambre's wish that white foreigners be brought in to reorganise the police force. The days of 'Backra' running things are over and such longings should be consigned to the graveyards of history.
Ninety-five per cent of my staff are white and I have never been deemed to be less competent because I happen to be a black Jamaican. Admittedly, the country needs some assistance in fighting crime. This is a problem that is faced by many young nations and Jamaica is no exception.
To equate skin colour with levels of competence in this day and age is asinine and such sentiment belongs to the plantation era.
Jamaica needs less of the D'Cambre types. Good luck to the real people of Jamaica.
I am etc.,
