Oye Politkalamity, that banna been dead for 35 years.

BTW, I like your avatar, only him and Trump speak for the masses of working class.  I say Trump for Prezzy, Bernie VEEP!!

Who did Walter Rodney unite again? Did he really transcend racial divide? When people dead we tend to make them legends from figments of our own imagination!

It is possible that Jessie Ventura will get into the race. He likes to take his time before deciding. 

Trump message is too negative, negative politics are now seen as the politics of bitter old white men.

My brother who was 15 yrs older than I told me he united Indos and Afros, and he was part of that movement. He often spoke of Indos and Afros marching hand in hand in their struggle against the PNC government.

Trump is playing the tune needed at each give point.  He is smarter than those ridiculing and judging him.  His so-called "ceiling" seem to be rising by the day, so is Bernie's.  I say, keep an open mind and keep strapped in!

Yes he did.  Where were you living at the time?

Nonsense, no such thing occurred. Show the evidence.  I was in Guyana, he managed to get a few Indian and Blacks to follow him(75% black). This is no referendum on claiming that he was a uniter across races.

You cannot fix the problems of any country without addressing the issues at the ground level of society.

Until the issues of distrust among the different groups of Guyanese is addressed there will never be real progress, or any kind of equitable distribution of wealth. You will always have a feeling victimhood and the desire to get even, no matter the cost.

 It does not help when the leaders of society also have a get even attitude. The PNC did not try to remove the suspicion, the PPP did not and now the perception of Indo Guyanese is that the current administration is out to get them.  

Guyana is doomed until they can find another Walter Rodney type leader – A young leader that transcends the racial divide and can relate to today’s generation. The decrepit caricatures currently leading or trying to form the next government are nothing but a joke and anyone who thinks they can change things for the better in Gy is delusional.

For decades I believe in the idea of a race tolerant Guyanese society. Now, I know that is not possible. The last election unleashed a whole lot of anti-Indo sentiments from the Afro society. One poster on here claims Afroes were intimidated by the PPP for 23 years. So now they are free to talk about all the racism of Indoes since coming to British Guiana.

Suh, we are lost forever.

Blacks have anti-Indian sentiments in their DNA!

I attest to the info your brother gave you Politik....my parents and I were part of this with  the Rahamans of LeDestein

Now doubt about 25% of Rodney's followers were Indian, those who were conditioned to feel inferior to Afros by the Burham regime.  As long as Indos were relegated to being foot soldiers for Rodney's vision, they were welcome in his organization.  But the moment they got higher aspirations, they were shown the door.

As a reminder, it was the PNC which assassinated Walter Rodney.

Joshua Ramsammy and Rupert Roopnarine were in leadership positions in the WPA. I don't remember them being shown the door.

I always suspected druggie to be a PNC mole. There is absolutely no way anyone with PPP connections lie about something like this. This guy is making the PPP look like the fools they really are.

Then again, wasn't he the one who told us that he lived the high life during Burnham's reign doing certain runs, nicee druggie nice, you get ketch. I doan like traitors whether for my team or the opposing one, Iman doan trust dem.

Dem PPP guys here should crucify yo rass for setting them up.

Run Druggie,Run!

Both gentlemen only attained leadership roles post Rodney and represented the minority of Indians. The point is that this idea that Rodney united the races is fiction.  Why else did the PNC and the PPP continue their majority? He may have united a few but that doesn't make him the great uniter.

Incorrect. Ramsammy and Roopnarine were in WPA leadership positions while Rodney was alive. 

ROdney did not live long enough to really unite people....(with so much division, unity would have taken quite a few years)

He got plenty followers because it seemed like he was the only one capable of overthrowing Burnham, and most people wanted this to happen...
