When it comes to racism in Guyana.  Face it.  You will hear more honesty about it from Afro Guyanese than you would from Indo Guyanese.  

Maybe you should ask why this is the case. Indians have always suffered brutality at the hands of Blacks, whether it is in everyday life: robberies, harassment etc or politically orchestrated violence. Indians also remember the dark days of the PNC and how they were the target of their failed policies, denying them their traditional foods which was so important to their culture. Now we see Indians once again bearing the brunt of robberies as crime spirals out of control in the lead up to the 50th sport.  

Summarized from your post Blacks are the perpetrators of racism towards Indians,you certainly need to read up what caused the the distrust between the two major race,poor analysis dig deeper.

What reading up I need,I lived through the events that let to this distrust. I was a victim of Black harassment through my school years as well as my short adult life in Guyana while running a business. 

You got to be an old fella to experience what happened in the early 60's.I lived in Guyana up to 1996,had no clue what was taking place during my adolescent years when the politicians used the raced based tactics to gain power,I grew up in mixed village and never experienced any harassment from Blacks,i worked in GT for a almost a decade my employment was at a business at Robb St never had any incidents of harassment.

I guess to each his own.

Dude I am not even talking about 60's, I was born in the 60's. I am talking about 70's early 80's with no concern or knowledge of the 60's. You believe that only 60's events fostered distrust? You are wrong. Even in the 90's when PPP won elections, Blacks rioted and Indians once again were the victims of their frustration of losing power. Then the mo fiah slow fiah era initiated by Hoyte ensued where Indians were again targeted for harassment and brutality.  

Someone please send Django the GIFT report if you have a copy of it. Might give him a different perspective.
