Every honest person knows that Hoyte, after 1990 was a radically different person from Burnham.  By 1990 he had sidelined the hardline Burnhamists, so was free to pursue his agenda.  Not only did Guyana turn around but Hoyte set the stage to prevent Janet Jagan from turning it into a satellite of Fidel Castro, which she definitely would have done had Burnhamism still being the philosophy of the PNC in 1992.

 

The PPP wishes to hide that fact, which is why they rant about "28 years" when the excesses of the PNC were between 1973 and 1988. Outside of that period Guyana enjoyed strong economic growth while the PNC was in power.  Indeed it was the PNC, prior to 1973, which began the MMA project, and engaged in massive road building, sea defense, and rural water and electrification.  They don't get credit for that because after 1973 mismanagement led to the collapse of what they had built between 1966 and 1972.

Too many damn Chinese projects-no sustainability.

The country needs to create employment opportunities. Vacant position create tolerances in the workplace-supply and demand overrides racism.

Listen.  When a black professional goes to get a job, or seeks promotion, all sorts of subtle racist comments are made.  This happens because the majority of the decision makers are Indians, and they view blacks as an outside group.  Creating more jobs will not eliminate that issue, as all that happens will be that blacks will be hired when no more Indian candidates can be found, but they will languish.

 

Marginalization in Guyana DID NOT end in 1992, despite the pretense of many.  As the blacks who were in leadership positions retire, or migrate, they are almost always replaced by Indians, usually males. The young and ambitious black person has to leave for the Caribbean if they are to have any prospects.

Bro, during the PNC time.If u r an Indian with Anglo names, u get a call for an interview. When them black fellas see u an indian that show up for the interview. Dem face get sour. If u have an Indo name, u razz doan get a call or a letter. 

Personally, black tradesmen used to cover themselves wid tarpaulin to make adjustments on sugar making machinery suh I doan learn the secrets.

 

I doan dislike dem chaps. I was immigrating anyway. I juss laff at dem silliness. If I was given lime, I made limewash. Prejudices by blacks in Guyana, prepared for white racism in NA. Alot of Blackfolks been good to me.

 

I look forward for better days.

it is silly, off-the-wall anecdotes like these to honor sacred victimization which ensure no progress will be made on Guyana race relations until a certain generation [who simply cannot help themselves] dies out
