When Forbes opened the Polders in the 60s, was land not available to all Guyanese? Why not do the same thing again?

People have a right to seek opportunities that they desire and no man made barriers of racism should be erected to prevent them for achieving this.

Blacks in Guyana had a very bad experience with farming, due to the success that the plantocracy had in destroying their communities.  Blacks began to achieve upward mobility when they moved on to other activities.

Scratch the roots of today's middle class blacks and you will see a civil servant, a teacher, a nurse, a tradesman, or someone working in the gold fields.  These are the people who set the foundation for their descendants to move upwards.

You will not see a large scale movement of blacks into farming anymore than you will see Indians moving to the GDF or the GPF.

Regardless, when the GoG opens land to its populace, it is open to all and sundry.
