Your original ancestors were people who derived out of Africa. Yes the ones with the penis sheath.  So if you are so into ancestry worship this is what you should do.  Parade down the street wearing nothing but a penis sheath and a bow and arrow.  This is the ancestor of 100% of the people on this planet.

I invite you to go tell a Trinidadian or a Jamaican that they don't have a culture. In fact they often accuse Guyanese of lacking a culture and when I see people like you who are ASHAMED of the cultural creativity that Guyanese have been engaged in and you ignore this and you refuse to recognize this I can see why so many think the way that they do about Guyanese.

Now as to my "ancestors" Druggie which ones are there.  There is NOTHING called an "African". No "African" culture exists.  Some one from Senegal is extremely different from some one from Nigeria.  People derived from Mandingo, Wolof, Fulani, Fante, Ga, Ewe, Asante, Fon, Igbo, Ibibio, and numerous others were brought to Guyana.  

Druggie do not dishonor these diverse cultures by reducing it to wearing a dashiki.

And FYI Christianity reached India and Africa before it reached northern Europe.  Christianity was derived out of a Middle Eastern religion. It is NOT a "white man" religion.

 

These are all just a bunch of excuses to cover up your shame of the African roots. IndoGs will not nitpick in their choice of Indian clothing, as long as it looks pleasing and conveys the message that they are from Indian roots. Similarly the Dashiki has become a universally accepted African wear even among Africans. So haul your lying tail da side with your excuses. 

As for Christianity, you know very well that Christ is depicted universally as a white man. 

What cultural creativity are you prattling about? Why don't you just say AfroG cultural creativity, as there is no shared Guyanese culture per say across all 6 races.
