Bottom line, is, despite TKs claims, if an Indian goes out of his way to win the trust of blacks, he will get their support. Most blacks in 1953 knew full well that they were voting for Cheddi.
The opposite tends to happen only among that tiny group of Indo intellects like TK. Sadly most of them probably aren't even living in Guyana!
Do you have voter sentiments surveys from 1953 that say that Cheddi Jagan was the PRIMARY reason why Africans voted the united PPP? I am looking at a LAPOP survey on racial reference and voting habits in Guyana. You would be surprised. Don't be so certain of your speculations. Having said that APNU-AFC still has much to do.
TK I assume that you know that there was a party that was founded by the League of Colored People. I also assume that you know that they didn't get votes outside of the black and colored middle class who despised Burnham, even though he came out of their ranks.
So how come blacks voted for a party led by an Indian, when there was a black party right there for them to support? And they knew that Cheddi was #1 and Burnham was #2. APNU AFC will NOT get anything like the support from Indians in 2015, that the PPP got from blacks in 1953.
This is not convincing at all.
