I do not read anywhere in his letter where he blames the black man.

It is implied. Read the letter carefully.  It has to be made clear that the PPP has damaged Indo social and economic well being in Guyana. They did some good, but there are more negatives. Under Burnham and Hoyte have you heard of cocaine abuse in rural Indo villages? For all the issues with this new govt, they are going after the pushers. It accounts for the temporary slow down. The payoff will be long-term.

local country people do not yet grasp they have a junkie problem. They think this thing is like taking a drink here and there. They do not know how terrible that addiction is or how far these young people will go to get their fix. Much of the rise in crime is due to the increasing value of drugs due to the increased surveillance

 

 

In fact I think that many of the Berbice pirates are crack heads.  They have that glazed look like the many who we see roaming the streets of US cities.

 

There are real problems emerging within many Indian families as they become more urbanized, and their poverty, relative to others, more apparent.  As family networks become weaker there are fewer supports for that Indo family which fears a good thrashing every time the husband/father arrives home drunk (or high), bringing home no $$$ with him.  No surprise increased social pathologies among Indians, even as some pretend that they are immune from that.
