How horrible!!! Men of differing opinions, faiths or races setting aside their differences and working together in harmony? I can understand why you're so upset!

"Jamaican Freemasonry Today
Jamaican Freemasonry today is truly a tapestry of great value woven from men of all colors, creeds, political persuasions and social backgrounds. As it is in any grouping of persons, there are bound to be differences of opinion on any given subject, and this is true of Freemasonry in general and, perhaps, of Jamaican Freemasonry in particular.
Throughout the District in general, and in my own mother Lodge in particular, I have the privilege of associating and sitting in harmony with Arab and Jew, Moslem and Hindu, Roman Catholic and Protestant, black and white, members of all three local political parties and those who do not necessarily fall squarely into anyone or other of those categories. And so it should be. I am proud to call each of them "brother" and I find comfort in their presence. I am sure that this is true of anywhere that Freemasons meet in pursuit of the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth.
I clearly remember, with pride, sitting in Lodge and witnessing a double initiation where the two candidates were the Minister of Information and the shadow Minister from the Opposition - both in a similar state of Distress and each taking their obligation, side by side, on the same VAL. I am proud to say that, as members of the same Lodge, they are both active and work with that harmony which should at all times characterize Freemasons, notwithstanding their differences on the political front."

Do they become Masons when they get successful or succesful for being Masons?

I'm really surprised these above posters have no problem with this.
to me it's one of the two and membership doesn't seem to hurt a career.

Let me ask the OP a question:
Do you enjoy him, would you say he has a talent?
Do you think he got that from being a Mason, or do you think it is something he is?
