you are all liars to claim you know all this stuff without google.

what d'ya know about poland, off the bat? dead pope don't count.

I remember Lech Walesa(sp) as a common electrician trying to assemble workers in a union. I vividly remember that freaky general, always in dark shades ruling with an iron fist. That guy was creepy looking. I remember the Soviet occupation and how they were always instrumental on crushing dissent whenever the workers advocated for their rights.

Lech later became president of the country. I admire the fighting spirit he brough to the struggle. This Google phenomena has created a class of people who are really dimwits pretending to be studious. :)

I'm more familiar with the Mings, Rahamans, Vieira, and Bahadoos in the 1970s. I've been to the track a few times myself. Bushy Park in Barbados is a popular track where Guyanese have a history of winning. :)

Lots of them in Queens New York; specifically Richmond Hill. Some on Long Island and the Bronx. I heard in Cockburnpen Jamaica, there are quite a few, no? :)

lots of them in Jamaica, since they had the same post slavery history of Indian indentured labor. not to the extent of Trini and Guyana, but very many. why do you think Jamaica is famous for curry goat?

many coolie girls up in the area between Hillside and Jamaica Avenues in Queens, too, in the 200 Street area.
