Charlotte amalie is a Brash vulgar tourist Centre despite the Charm of its old colonial streets and build Ings and nowadays makes its living largely by Selling relatively cheap goods to swarms of cruise ship visitors. There Are killings muggings robberies rapes and crimes connected with drugs such As you would find in any Compa Rable american City but there is no need for any visitor to get involved if he takes reason Able precautions and the racial basis is not so evident.

Almost All the White Resi dents Here now recognize the errors made by themselves and the government the worst being the apartheid and White oligarchic attitude to the negro Cruciano.
