ksazma posted:It is amusing that someone will go into a long rant about how Indians have abused blacks from the time they arrived on the continent and then closes it with a lil hand slap that Indians experienced racism during PNC (Burnham's) 28 years. I wouldn't be surprised that if he re-read that, he will still think that he was fair and balanced in his assessment. In fact, black racism toward Indians did not end in 1992, it just took on a different form with all the slo fiah, mo fiah campaigns and the way the PNC violently undermined the PPP since 1992.
Guyana two major races are deeply suspicious of each other and the fear that Indians have had to endure at the hands of black criminals seems to taken lightly by black centric posters. No doubt Guyana would be a better place for all if there was more cooperation and acceptance of each other but that isn't going to happen anytime soon. The Coalition government promised a social cohesive government and while they named Nagamootoo Prime Minister, he was stripped of his port folio which was held by Harmon.
A clear example of how people address matters in a biased manner is the same people who chastised Yuji for what he said about Varshnee have yet to chastise Cribby for saying the same thing more than a year ago and he said that he actually knows one of the black men.
Everyone here has a preferred side. I don't deny mine. You don't fool anyone that you don't have one too. Meanwhile the other one is busy searching a=far and wide for anything to excuse the behavior of the Coalition Government which has ben toppled but they refuse to accept the result.
There is nothing amusing about any claims or counter claims about injury to people and culture. Burnham did it and the PPP did it and there is no getting around that by blaming each other on an individual level. Black centric and indo centric are group terms we use to tar and feather each other for presumed indignities suffered at each other hands. The prevailing reality is that our nations people are still impoverished.
I cannot understand why we maintain these emotional archives as touchstones for behavior when it is counter to our individual personalities. None of us ( I hope) want to kill and meme or otherwise cause injury to another. This is a starting point How the hell did we get t his way? Why is it we organize around parties who never served our personal or communal needs? Those are the questions that should bother us and should attend our focus and our reason.
