Jamahl Simmons' selective memory

In a new PLP YouTube video, PLP MP Jamahl Simmons asserts that the UBP are only interested in exploiting blacks:

"When you have meetings where they're asking us, "How can we attract the black vote?" but is not willing to do the things that are necessary to be appealing to the black community, you have to ask yourself, "Why?". Because at the core, they're not interested - it's just about exploitation"

Contrast this, however, with a statement Mr. Simmons made on this website two years ago, when he was still a member of the UBP:

"Two of the things that I am most proud of being a part of was the development of the Economic Empowerment Bill and our Economic Empowerment Zone - David Dodwell and his committee hammered out both of these ideas, got them before the public and for a while got a good national dialogue going on the issue of levelling the economic playing field... I will tell you that David has been extremely active behind the scenes developing our Race Relations and Economic Opportunity agenda."

That doesn't sound like a party that's only interested in exploitation to me.
