Don't point to the Jamaicans as as examples of Black Guyanese not being lazy. Address the fact that Black Guyanese only want easy jobs. 

And yet I wasn't aware that working in the gold fields or in timber was easy. I will suggest to you that this is way harder than cutting cane. Snake bites, malaria, injuries and occasional bouts of starvation when the roads are closed and supplies cannot come in doesn't seem easy to me.

But than as some one who hates blacks I expect this racism from you.

Black farmers in Jamaica didn't have a colonial plantocracy which set out to make them fail as they gave preference to Indians in agriculture.  Yes they forced them onto the worst lands, but they didn't flood these farms as occurred in Guyana.

First thing that blacks in Guyana did was to farm.  Now racist druggie ask yourself why they stopped even while their fellow blacks in Grenada, St Vincent, St Lucia, Dominica, Martinique, and Jamaica continued to do this.  Even in Haiti, as in fact the environmental devastation of that island is due to people farming on steep slopes which resulted in mass erosion every time a storm hit.

Nonsense, first of all Blacks are not the majority in the timber and gold industry. Brazilians, Amerindians, Indians and mixed race far outnumber them.  Secondly, farming is much harder than timber and gold work. Gone are the days of digging for gold by hand, machinery are the workhorses. As for timber work, again, heavy equipment are used. There is no comparison to cutting cane and dragging bundles to the punt. In fact my family employ Blacks and they have to constantly keep an eye on them for falling asleep under a tree on the job.
