The North Side Member Should Apologize to Lord Blencathra and all Handicapped People of Cayman

Mr. Ezzard Miller has come under fire for his rantings of unwanted descriptions or categorization including terms related to deviance disability or diagnosis of a Physical disorder of a handicapped man. Not just any man but Lord Blencathra of the UK Cayman's representative.Mr.Miller referred to him as "Lord Cripple" a cold and callous adjective used against one that is disabled.This is not merely a label but is often adopted with a stigma defined as a Powerful negative label that unfortunately changes a person’s self-concept and social identity.

People in our society and Mr. Ezzard Miller himself has engaged in and accept this kind of behavior towards people like Lord Blencathra as "normal", But this is far from the truth. It is a kind of attitude that comes with a lack of common sense that whatever it is that others do, that deviates from their physical behavior or likeness is not "normal" and insensitive people like the independent Member for N. Side thinks that their disability should be either corrected or pointed out as "deviant" or as inferior! It is not surprising though that Cayman’s Sociologist Dr. Frank McField now courting the PPM and independents and one who often participates on our talk shows and media forums; has not even addressed Mr. Millers unacceptable behavior towards Lord Blencathra.We should take the time to understand why some people are handicapped and why we should respond to them as being human beings whose life is as valid as ours. It is not only what you say but it is a matter of not having your own personal character developed in its right. In my experience, those quick to point others as deviants or “Lord Cripples” to the norm, tend to have their own skeletons on their closets, and that's most likely the reason to start this judging and stereotyping, to make others look away from them as being disabled..and making such remarks makes what you say as "wrong." People Like Mr. Miller are insecure so they judge and make fun of others to cover up their insecurities Mr. Miller should apologize to not only Lord Blancathra but to all the handicapped people of Cayman if we are to show him respect as an elected official.

Ezzard is one of those many

Ezzard is one of those many Caymanians that readily use terms such as 'niger' ' black Jamaican' etc, in their day to day diologue and few seemed concerned about it. Now he has said the next best offensive thing that came to his mind. And he said it publicly because he thought that, not only was it appropriate, but that his audience would find it amusing and acceptable. Can you blame him? he's never understood that way of thinking is from the dinosaur age, it's offensive and just plain wrong. We've never helped him to understand it's offensive and unacceptable by shunning that sort of behavior. Now to our shame and discredit his comments will make it into the international forum. By now most people and political parties in any civilized society would have forced him out of politics. Instead there is - silence. cayman is a wonderful place to live and I love it. There are a few things as a Caymanian that I hang my head in shame about. This is one of them.

As Cayman's first Pharmacy

As Cayman's first Pharmacy Technician and Hospital Administrator, this is appalling.
The new phrase used to avoid such blunders is Emotional Intelligence capacity?
How many of this lot, has such capacity though?

It makes me wonder what the Ezzard lovers out there who are decent people think when this BOBO puts his foot in his mouth with one of these ignorant comments?
There have been many over the years and they seem to ignore it, denial is a wonderful thing Austin.

Ezzard is and has always been

Ezzard is and has always been Ezzard. The shameful thing is that the people of North Side who accept his ignorance as their elected representative. He is a political dinosaur with little interest except for the dramatic and creating sound bytes. Can you imaging him representing Cayman in London or anywhere? I cannot listen to him.

Ezzard, the first thing you should do before you and Austin start blabbing away on McKeeva Tuesday morning(which by the way I am sick off because in my eyes the conduct of Ezzard or Austin is no different for his, just more of it) is apologize to Handicapped people everywhere and if you had enough sense you may want to apology to the man directly or you may end up just like McKeeva when you are sitting in the chair...

I must admit this PC stuff

I must admit this PC stuff can sometimes go overboard but no need to call Lord  Blencathra cripple. XXXXX  He could have pointed that out instead or better yet just point out his questionable behavior in the UK.  Mr. Ezzard I won't hold it against you but you do need to be more respectful in your language.  Don't stoop to McKeeva's level, please.

Political Apathy is created

Political Apathy is created when a bunchof illiterate,self serving and ego maniac politicos think about their next election and note people's future. And just before PPM fans start rejoicing this statement includes them and thenUDP.

Give up on expecting anything

Give up on expecting anything to do with sensitivity coming from Ezzard Miller. Remember his use on the radio of the "n" word? The word "apology" and the expression "I'm sorry, I mispoke" are also unknown to him.

I totally agree Ezzard should

I totally agree Ezzard should apologise. How can he be running all over the place with a petition getting signatures from homes where handicaped people live? And he makes sport of them!   Not someone I would want to follow, I can tell you that.
He needs to put things in its perspective and apologise to everyone publicly.
Make it right. Respect is due everyone.

I was most saddened by those

I was most saddened by those words by Mr Miller.  What I would like to say in respect of his making such terrible remarks, is that he needs to remember what the Bible says.  The power of life and death is in the tongue.   It is too late when you say something terrible about another person as such, and no apology in this world can make it right.  Mr  Miller I dont think there is any apology you can make that will change your words.
