Benn wants to know how come you know who he voted for. So how do you know druggie? His uncle/cousin Robeson will lash him if he did and you know that.

You said that the PPP milk was sour and Blacks voted APNU, by extrapolation I concluded that Benn by virtue of his blackness, voted PNC. ahhahaha

Brindley Benn made millions from exporting wildlife during Burnham and Hoyte time. It is good to see them reinvest the money and make more millions during these times.

Them boys may talk socialist politics but they are good business men.

The Benns were wildlife exporters at a time when the international wildlife export market had few international restrictions unlike today's world. As a result, in those days you could have made a financial fortune from Guyana's wildlife. They became very rich.

So Brindley Benn became a multimillionaire by exporting from Guyana while preaching communism. What is the big deal here Wally and Sledgehammer ?

Have you never heard of Friedrich Engels. He was a billionaire in his time but he collaborated with Marx to write many articles on working class people and their struggle.

There is nothing wrong with being rich. But I was very suprised when I realized that Mr.Benn was a very wealthy man who was by far much more richer than Dr.Jagan and maybe Burnham put together. But he became rich the old fashion way he earned it. Nothing wrong with that.

I repeat how do you know who Benn voted for? You dont. Being a man named Benn and a beneficiary of PPP largesse his attuitude might be different to a black man named Smith who is just another black man to the PPP....in other words to be seen as a charity case, or to be stigmatized.

Now you change your tune, you said blacks rejected the PPP milk and voted PNC. How do you know he voted PPP? hahahahahaha

This man is a shining example of what a Black man can achieve in Guyana even though he is hostile to the PPP. There are multiple Blacks like him who have prospered under the pPP. You sell snake oil and it is proven to be wrong by these examples of successful Blacks under the PPP government. hahahahah

His name is BENN. They have been PPP people since Noah was aboy. So they get gravy as the PPP knows it needs to drop a little bit into black hands...they just pick their own.

For other blacks who arent known to support the PPP. NOTHING!!!!!! Thats why they didnt vote for them.

I am sure that successful blacks in Guyana work HARD for what they get and obtain based on their own efforts.

Even Roger Luncheon said he doesnt know why the PPP excludes blacks. Now he ought to know.

So now you admit that those blacks who support the PPP will be successful?

On that note the solution is simple then, if the Black man support the PPP then he will be successful? To me that clearly indicates that the PPP is an equal opportunity organization, contrary to what you have been preaching. ahahhahahah

Benn isnt a mere PPP supporter and you know this. He is part of PPP royalty. Show another black person who gets ample govt contracts and who isnt connected to the PPP.

Loads of blacks went to drink PPP milk and they ended up with health issues which is why after 19 years of PPP rule they stomped the PPP into minority rule.

BTW you seem to be happy about what Burnham did to Indians. PUnished them because they didnt support the PNC. Not your family of course who drink milk from whomever has it on offer. If APNU won you would be screaming praises to them.

I would advise you to keep an eye on the black dudes in the above picture .... Please notice they are wearing helmets in a hard hat construction area and the indos are walking around with their skull exposed.

It's an accident waiting to happen. Who's looking out for Ramotar.

Yuh ever heard of Sir David Rose.

Nonsense, the Blacks that are hard working and ambitious prosper under the PPP and still vote PNC because of race. The ones like yourself who complain about marginalization are sitting back waiting for entitlement rather than put their brain to use in acquiring wealth.

Indians who prospered under Burnham never supported the PNC. So whats your point?

BTW the hard working blacks who dont vote PPP refuse to vote PPP because ts is RACIST. Exactly the same reason why their Indo equivalent refuse to vote PNC.
