Too young to know a lot of things.

Cheddi Jagan is my national hero. His name means more than an ugly statue.

Ok Folks,

Cuffy has been declared a National Hero for Afro Guyanese. I have no argument with the fact that he fought for the freedom of slaves and his title cannot be questioned.

Kofi is a hero to anti colonial and anti human bondage struggle and that is a legacy of all guyanese whose history is in the cauldron of that oppression.

You are such a shallow man that your mind cannot wrap around ideas unless it is tempered by race.

D2, do you think the face on Cuffy's statue represents a person or demon?

The artist was not looking for representation about personhood but for symbolism of an anti colonial movement

Another inane idea born out of blamelessly pitiful intelligence. Then we'll have national heroes for Portuguese, Amerindian, Dugla, Dutch, Chinese? How about national heroes for Guyanese instead, recognizing anyone's contributions for freedom and justice regardless of race?

Monument of Cuffy.

The BIG question is how come such a title and monument has not been declared for an Indo Guyanese ?

Should the AFC/PNC government install a monument and declare a National Hero for Indo Guyanese ?

After all, we are all equal in the eyes of GOD.

May I ask what Cuffy is holding in his hands? IS that what I think it is?.... just asking... maybe someone can explain.

if you were to go and look at it you would see it is two alligators.

You shouldn't broadcast such ignorance of things Guyanese.

From a historical perspective Cuffy is/was a hero for ALL Guyanese.

Perhaps then, one should advocate for Amerindian, Chinese, Portuguese, etc., as national heroes.

From 1957 plus the few months when the PPP was in office in 1953, there has been roughly an equitable time when the PPP and PNC are/were in power.

One should view issues from an historical perspective rather than selecting individuals based on ethnic backgrounds.

The man has got a right to know. After all Cuffy to a white mistress.

Wasn't Cuffy a terrorist like ISIS?  He massacred innocent men, women and children and he forced the young women into sex slavery.  Isn't this what the PNC attempted to repeat in the early 60's, with limited success!

I remember my History teacher in school (a Pan-Afroist) talking about Cuffy.  He looked with a blank stare critical of Cuffy for sparing the white girl.  He said, when you killing, you killing, spare no one.  He looked at the Black kids and said, this is how Blacks will win.  And he concluded the class!

I'm sure guys like Caribj knows what I'm talking about!
