I don't know how people accuse him of being racist against Indians on the basis of this song. He calls names from all ethnic groups, it's lower class versus upper class just like most things in society.

Carole Quintal: Was he not proven right? The song The Apology was a response to when trinbagonians found this was true. The comment about Afro people needing to fix the community, this was back in the late 80s our community wasn't as the way it is now.

So let me get this straight, the poor children of Indo ancestry from the rural sugar belt of Trinidad that consistently top score in these and other exams are of this so called "high class?" How about our urban Afro population get their act together with black dads being present and supportive and put education first and build a legacy and new heritage to stand firm on and be proud of. We cannot begrudge people their success and cannot make excuses for failures. This composition wreaked of hatred and racism, especially in the way it was performed. This is the sort of thing that tears at the fabric of multiracial societies such as ours. This is the stuff of Nazi Germany and segregated United States back in the day. Sad and pathetic.

🤔... Are you suggesting that what he "sang" about did not happened? The song called out the CE scandal of that period. There were many people who I knew personally wasn't bright at all, but got into prestige schools(???). I had 2 friends (indo-trini of working class background) who were doing just as well as me, if not better, yet both had to settle for Jr-Sec places, whilst I got my first choice. Is Cro Cro controversial? Definitely. Most times I choose to ignore him, because he have a recurring theme. His delivery is often feisty, however, he was spot on with this one. BTW, you assume that urban "black" children, are not working hard. Any way that's a subject that needs time, which I don't have at the moment.
