The freedom of one negro to join the sea of East Indians, not cooolies. 

AS for cross ethnic bonding, there is no one stopping anyone in Guyana from doing it. Yet the dougla population increasing. I guess prejudices does cause stifling of the senses.

Guyanese doan treat Jagdeo as a racist, yet some aliens seems to think he is. The percentage of the population who are  PNC supporters, doan they have a problem with cross ethnic bonding?

People minding dey own business trying to survive, somehow it is the perception of others they are pre-occupied with racism.

So far, Granger is the only one with racist tendencies. 

Dude, lie to yourself if you may. It is why you remain an intractable racist with one foot in the grave. Indians have long invested their cultural boundaries on the backs of their women. They are entrusted with the burden of carrying the culture and if they cross the barrier into consorting with blacks they are ostracized. The hypocracy is self evident in the fact they can marry any white lungera and be accepted. This racism in Guyana is purely cultural.

Unless you are blind most Africans consider Jagdeo the bane of their existence. They would vote for any other PPP member in higher percentages than he. He is largely seen as the instrument of their marginalization and with much evidence to support it.

No one denies that Granger is a Burnhite and pan African hence a bigot himself. He is of that era where the distrust of indians is total. As a historian his slant on history is that blacks have always gotten the shaft and it is directly and indirectly a consequence of the advent of indians.

The reality is that neither Jagdeo or Granger is good for us. They are natural foils and throwback to a different era and both have proven themselves to be monumentally incompetent. Jagdeo give us complete failure of all industries, a drug and gun culture and Granger seems to be unable to reverse that. With oil on the horizon and both remaining the choices we have as leaders means we are not going to see a better Guyana in the near future.
