Colour ‘consciousness’

Dear Editor,

Experts in animal biology know that some animals have dichromatic vision. Simply put, their view of the world is less rich than most others. They only see two colours.

That bit of information is critical in understanding why Sandrea Falconer, the aide to Opposition Leader Portia Simpson Miller, went on social media on Saturday evening to complain about Prime Minister Andrew Holness wearing a green hat while he was checking to see if everything was in place for Hurricane Matthew.

The prime minister was doing what any good leader of a country would do. I am therefore having a hard time finding a reason why Falconer would make an issue of how he dressed.

If I am to go by the facts, however, not everybody can see genuine action for what it is.

Sandrea Falconer is a political mouthpiece of a different kind, and that means she can only see green and orange, and nothing else matters.

For God’s sake, the hat that lady was complaining about had Jamaica written big and bold print on the front.

It is people like her who have caused the intellectually deficient People’s National Party to be irrelevant. The party, by having Falconer and others in key positions, has turned off many. And until they are rooted out, the vibrant orange that colours the rising sun will look dull.

The public should probably excuse Falconer for her inappropriateness because, again, science has taught us that those who often display signs of envy sometimes experience cloudy vision. Was Saturday night one of her moments?
