Jagan said these words in November,1996.

 "Because we know Black people are at the lowest scale of the social ladder"

Django, by isolating that phrase from the entire quote, the context is lost. This is what Jagan said in November 1996 in Canada: "The PPP is not an Indian party. The British and the Americans did not remove me from power and put

Gilly I'm gonna be a pain in de arse here. I admit I never read "The West on trial" however what I read here it seems Jagan conned people with that. The banna was speaking of the PPP (Guyana) Burnham(Guyana). He spoke of being removed from power by the Americans and the British (Guyana)

What does this statement have to do with Black Americans and what do black Americans have to do with Guyana?

Isnt this akin to someone mentioning the C word and when cornered just pass it off as "I was speaking about those poor souls in India?"  

Cain,

Totally in agreement with your thoughts,Jagan was out of line with the last statement,he was speaking about, defending the PPP as not being an Indian Party and the ploy of his removal from office in Guyana.

Django, did you read my reply to Cain? Please do, and comment on it. Jagan was a man who reasoned dialectically, ie, he saw the inter-relatedness of things. He saw a linkage between US policy against blacks in the domestic front and communism in foreign affairs. Most socialists reason things out dialectically. Do some deep research on Marxist dialectics.

Bhai,you digging red ants nest,

what were the US policy against blacks and during which period ?

 

Django, in the 1950s and 1960s the news was full of names like Rosa Parks, Dr Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Eldridge Cleaver, George Jackson, Angela Davis, Muhamad Ali, the Black Panthers etc. Why? They were leading massive marches, strikes, sit ins and other protest demonstrations against entrenched US government policy against Blacks. Federal and state laws legalized discrimination against Blacks. There were separate seats for blacks and whites in buses, restaurants, cinemas etc. Separate churches for blacks who were barred from white churches. Black students were barred from studying in universities. All sanctioned by federal and state laws and enforced by the police, national guard and KKK.

Thousands of blacks were beaten, lynched, jailed, murdered etc during that period.
