Dominica rejects legislating intermarriage to save tribe

The leader of the last remaining pre-Columbian tribe in the eastern Caribbean says outlawing marriage to outsiders can save Dominica's dwindling indigenous population, but legislators are balking at deciding who can marry whom. Chief Charles Williams has proposed a law requiring ethnic Kalinagos to marry only each other for self-preservation. He also requested that foreigners be barred from living on the tribe's 3,800-acre reserve. 'We would like as many Kalinago people to respond and pair off so that we can multiply and protect the race,' Williams said during a recent news conference. Read more

I totally agree, what's the point of having a reserve for the Caribs if they just bring other people in? it makes no sense, i mean its maybe a little harsh but that's whats necessary to save their race

Jay, you simply can't be serious. It is not only ridiculous, it is also unfair, unjust, undemocratic and extremely impractical.

while i can understand their reasons for this proposal, it seems almost impossible to make happen because what will occur eventually is incestuous marriages and relationships. they dont have enough carib indians in the island to promote this concept. the only way this can happen is if caribs go out and get other island caribs to marry. they already have a problem of interbreeding in the reserve.

If a western country proposed similar the jews media would outrage with cries of "racism" or even "hate".

Be happy that you are rid of such!

Double curse. First the HERESIES of Ellen G. White (or is it maybe Ellen Gay White?) and then gay = abomination that should be put to death - according to God's law.

Another proof that the hyprocrital adventists will have nothing to do with God's law.

May that adventist gay get a good beating right early!
