𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 1/ Good day.
I came across a post online from someone who was identified as a principal of Ramsaran's Dairy Products.
It is troubling that in these times when we as a nation have to band together to survive, someone who has benefitted so much from the>
2/ grassroots communities would now turn on us with such scorn and blatant disregard.
Naila Ramsaran's comments—and her subsequent "apology"—resonate a particular brand of racism that affects a specific band of T&T's business and social elites. It is classified by a short memory.
3/ I remember as a youth that the Ramsaran juice box symbolised that my family had enough spare cash to splurge on a premium product. Fresh milk. Fresh orange juice. Better than the foreign imports and franchises that operated in the market. Local to the core.
