Please also don't be an idiot and tell a Trinidadian or a Jamaican that they have no culture. You will be tossed into the incinerator!
As usual your retort is utter nonsense. Without the propagation of culture throughout the centuries where would we be today? Go tell that to the Jews who carry on their tradition from time immemorial. Go buse down the pope and tell him that he shouldn't carry on the tradition of Peter and the early Christians.
We as humans have an obligation to honor our ancestors by carrying on their traditions even if only ceremoniously. This is what makes each and everyone of us unique. Your people on the other hand seem so ashamed of their culture that they abandoned the rich African traditions to embrace the European tradition, even embracing their religion.
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.
