VVP posted:.All top positions in the government, army and police were African dominated except for token Indians. What else would it take to make you a second class citizen when you cannot get to the highest level you are capable of?
Hoyte tried to change things but the Burnham structure was hard to break.
So using your criteria blacks were second class under the PPP. Aside from the army virtually all of the top slots were occupied by Indians and even Luncheon admitted this when he was asked about this by Nigel Hughes as part of the Jagdeo vs. Kissoon law suit.
And don't pretend that the Afro leadership of the GDF/GPF were a sign of Indo weakness either as these were carefully selected by Jagdeo. Indians refused to join those entities even when Jagan begged them to do after after 1992. So clearly few were in the pipeline to occupy leadership roles.
