Thousands of BLACK people used to show up to WPA meetings.  Once the meetings ended they were beaten up. They were harassed on their jobs.  They were fired from their jobs.  Their homes were broken into.  Relatives of theirs were also harassed.

Despite all of this THOUSANDS showed up to those meetings!

Now look at you who were NOT around during that era arguing with some one who was!

Did you see the thousands who marched into and around G/town when Rodney was murdered. This to defy Burnham.  And the THOUSANDS who lined the streets cheering them on.  This was followed by strikes in Linden, and then Burnham starved out that town in revenge.

When Burnham died there were hundreds of "Burnham dead" parties all over Brooklyn.  This to celebrate the fact that death had finally done what Rodney couldn't, and that was take Burnham away.

The only event that is reminiscent of this was on May 12 when APNU supporters found out that the PPP had lost.

I suggest that you cease babbling of what you know not. You were NOT around!

I was around, in fact I attended some of Rodney's rallies. There were no thousands, more like hundreds. I witnessed first hand as Burnham goons arrived by the bus loads to beat Rodney's supporters. But the fact remains that overall the Blacks were solidly behind LFS as he had more to offer. Rodney only offered beatings and rhetoric.
