I live in St Thomas US virgin Islands. It’s beautiful here. People come here everyday on cruise ships, vacation and some decide to stay down here because it’s owned buy the US, it’s called paradise and look like it too, the water is BEAUTIFUL. But there have been crimes going on here. Lot of it. Last year or earlier this year a caucasian guy got stabbed in St John, another small islands part of the US Virgin Islands. The police did a crappy job and almost let the killers go free, but the victim’s family and some other residents here didn’t let that happen. Just Sunday again, another caucasian guy offered two black dudes a ride just to get robbed a killed execution style. I’m black, but I’m also very open minded and always speak up about the racial double standard existing in the society. I start believing that maybe they are targeting White people here. It would be bad because tourism is a big part of the economy in the islands. In the USVI, a lot of "natives" don’t like "outsiders" like they call them, even if you’re black. I’m from another French island and have been a victim of discrimination here but Caucasians have been victim of murder. Way different than what I get. I can’t talk about that with any of them here because they are narrow minded. Am I blowing things out of proportion? Could I be right?

Blacks guys get shot here too almost on a daily basis. But they are not innocent either if you know what I mean. It’s always a thug or one of those guys.

I know racism against Blacks or any other race exist. i see what is being said about Obama for example. But I’m talking about this particular incidents. I have a caucasian friend here, he was born on the island. He got stoned when he was 13 by grown a$$ dudes because he is white.

I am looking into traveling to the USVI and was wondering if you get straight to there by airplane or if there is another way you need to take. I haven’t actually really looked into this. But i was just wondering if anyone could tell me that has been there. Thanks!

Hello, I am planning on traveling to the USVI for a vacation, with my daughter, her friend, and my husband. Both my husband and I and her friend have passports, but my daughter is out of date and we simply do not have enough time to get hers renewed before vacation. Will a birth certificate be enough to get there and back? (We are all US citizens, live in Boston, and by the way, my daughter is 14 years old.) I plan on calling the airline also.

Also, I was wondering out of St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas, which island is your favorite? Also, what are your favorite hotels? We wanted something relaxing, where my daughter and her best friend (who is practically my second daughter,) can relieve stress from their intensive school program (they never seem to get a break!) But also a place where the weather is lovely and hot, and a place that’s great for both us, the parents, and the kids!

Sorry that was rather long, thank you for your guidance!

Where should I take a caribbean vacatin? Im trying to decide between USVI, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, or Cayman Islands. My initial attraction was to USVI because it would be convenient because I wouldnt need a passport and they take US currency. I want a nice beach, some snorkeling/diving, and maybe some rainforest hiking.

I’m going to St. Thomas on vacation—will my cell phone work? If so, is it going to cost an arm and a leg to use it? What’s the cheapest way to call the US from the USVI?

I mailed a card to China through my local USPS office and when I got home I noticed the receipt says "94c St. John US Virgin Islands PSA"???? What does that mean? DId the post office guy send it to the wrong place or does mail go through the USVI before going to China for some reason? Was paying 94c to mail a little card to China sound about right? What does the "PSA" mean on the receipt?
