On October 6th 2009, I was reading some of the blogs that is posted on Nice Radio website. There were a particular post that caught my attention and this post dealt with insults and demeaning names the PhD holding Prime Minister of St. Vincent Ralph E. Gonsalves allegedly used to describe Vincentian. Some of the names that Ralph E. Gonsalves allegedly used, range from: “Stinking Dirty Dog,” which was use to describe Bassy Alexander; to Asses, which was used to describe members of the N.D.P; he even use the demeaning and sexually degrading gesture of the middle finger, in an effort to insult a fellow Vincent.
I hope that the information in this document is false and malicious; for I cannot see a head of government in a democratic country, hauling such insults and showing such contempt for his constituent and still holds an elected political office.
I was shocked by some of the classification and terms that this PhD holding Prime Minister, use to describe his constituents. I have long evaluated the man that is Ralph E. Gonselves and had long discovered what other are now beginning to find out; which is Ralph is a scared, insecure little boy in an adult body and he sees everyone in his image.
Let me take some time to examine and evaluate some of the offensive name he hauled at Vincentian and his purpose for doing so. One thing we must always remember is: Ralph Gonsalves tends to see others in his image; in other words, he believes everyone is the same as he is, and the fact that he despised himself, he views everyone as despicable.
Let me prove my argument by developing this concept. I will begin with one of his first remark, but before I tell you what the remark is, I will give the explanation of the remark, explain it in relation to how Gonsalves sees himself and then I will make known the remark.
Would it be fair to say Ralph tries desperately, to present himself as one who is: a “liberal elite,” a socially concerned and highly educated man? Bear in mind that in my description of Ralph Gonsalves I said he despised himself and therefore, he sees everyone as despicable. It was for this reason that he referred to the Journalist as chattering nabobs. "Chattering Nabobs" is a degrading term/name that is use to refer to the politically active, socially concern, highly educated, liberal ileitis of a society. This term was coined by: Frank Jackson. When Ralph saw the intellectuals expressing their social concern in their questions, he saw himself in them and because he despised himself he could not compliment those reflective quality; so the contempt he has for himself was expressed in the insult he hauled at the journalist.
I will like the readers to know that it is a treatable mental condition when an individual is unable to distinguish between what is real and what is a trick of the mind; when one cannot distinguish between himself and others.
When Ralph called Vincentian the lowest common denominator, he once again saw himself in the people, he was referring too. Who in St. Vincent and the Grenadines whether free or institutionalized can be considered lower than the Prime Minister of the country? I will take the opportunity to explain why I made such a statement, and then you can disagree with me if the explanation is not justified.
Ralph Gonsalves did not even possessed what it take to face a jury of his peers, as every Vincentian in that situation is expected to do; when the allegations of rape and sexual assault was brought against him. He did not have the decency or respect for the office of Prime Minister to omit office until the matter was resolved; however, he use the influence of his office to manipulate the Commissioner of Police and in turn cause the victimization of the female police officer who he allegedly raped, forcing her to abandon her search for justice.
Can you go lower than depriving the poor and the weak of justice and in the process making them a victim again and again? I don’t think so. (Read the pyschological effects of rape)
Did Ralph Gonsalves actually called members of the NDP asses? If he did, as Prime Minister he should know that every member within his jurisdiction (country, island, state) is his constituent, even the opposition. He should also know that it is disrespectful for a man that holds such an office and training to refer to his constituent with derogative term and expect their loyalty.
I must say that I cannot see Ralph Gonsalves in his capacity as a politician, a servant of the people or as Prime Minister calling any of his constituent an ass or a “stinking dirty dog” as the list said he called Bassy Alexander. Such behavior would be a new low even for Ralph E. Gonsalves and thus qualify my second point. If he actually did that, he may have very well proven himself to be the lowest common denominator in the entire Caribbean.
Maybe Ralph Gonsalves was onto something when he called Vincentian unlearned, untutored and uncultured. For if Vincent had learn from the first five years of Ralph E. Gonsalves' political leadership as Prime Minister, they would have never given him a second term, if they were cultured, they would never have cast their vote for such a classless person and in the process elevating him into the post of Prime Minister.
The fact that Ralph maybe onto something in the preceding paragraph, do not mean that he did not see himself in the people when he categorized them as uncultured, unlearned and untutored. Well, we can see that Ralph did not learn anything when he did his courses in Political Science, the area in which he holds his PhD.; in his many years of teaching, all of his formal schooling and the years he spent (wasted) as a politician he did not learn or apply the lessons on statesmanship or diplomacy. For all of his action, his name calling which ranged from: calling his constituents asses, stinking dirty dog etc., to the middle finger gesture are signs, that shows he did not learn anything about statesmanship or diplomacy. This type of behaviors are what one will expect from one who is uncultured; a quality that cannot be bought, but can only be instilled by emulating one's parents.
Even Parnell is more cultured than Ralph E. Gonsalves, for when the scandal of Parnell Campbell’s alleged dishonesty was made public, he submitted his resignation, not wanting to bring disrepute to the esteem office of the Attorney General; however, when serious criminal allegations of rape and sexual assault was made against Ralph E. Gonsalves; offences allegedly committed while holding the office Prime Minister, he not only stayed in the office of the Prime Minister, he used the influence of that office to bring undue pressure on the victims and to cause a miscarriage of justice. Well that is Ralph E. Gonsalves for you. Examining the behavior of Ralph E. Gonsalves, is his behavior reflective of the name he allegedly call Bassy Alexander?
