Drugb posted:Trinidad is a different animal, people live in much more close proximity to each other rather than as in Guyana where people are spread out and villages are still predominantly defined by being Indian or African. It is akin to saying that GT IndoG represent the Indian community across Guyana. Being from GT and growing up in a mixed village, I see distinct differences between Indos in GT vs the rest of the country. This may explain T&T where there is less isolation by race geographically. That is of course if what you are saying is correct about Trinis. I know some Trini Indians that hate Black Trinis, this goes against what you are peddling here about an integrated culture there.
Total nonsense. Over 85% of Guyanese live along one main road which starts on the Pomeroon and ends on the Corentyne River. Guyanese are less geographically isolated from each other than are Trinidadians who occupy almost every square inch of their island.
An Afro Guyanese from Hopetown and Ithaca is radically different from one from G/T as well. So what is your point. In fact many Indos in G/T have more in common with their black neighbors than they do with some one from the Corentyne. You being a case in point, even though your hatred of blacks is very evident.
White and black Americans really don't like each other but what BOTH understand is that there is an AMERICAN identity. Just get in a line in front of a working class black American and hold up the line because you don't speak fluent English. The xenophobic reaction that you will see will make Trump proud.
And as to white Americans. Interesting. I was just in the Caribbean on vacation and I was amazed by the numbers of white Americans who approached me as an American. I guess living here after a while there are certain mannerisms that one develops. Back in the USA I will be a black person they will stay away from. Outside of the USA suddenly we are fellow Americans.
Trinidadians also have that sentiment, as do Jamaicans.
Face it we Guyanese don't. Some people still pretend that they live on the banks of the Ganges River and so are utterly alien from all the others sharing the Demerara and the Essequibo and the Berbice with them. In actuality they aren't and it took rejection from Indians from India to learn this. But even now they cannot admit this.
