Well said Caribj. 

We friend yet or am I still a cannibal from the Congo?

I was just having fun with you. Keep it clean from the racist slants. 

Please educate me as to what I say that is racist. Note that discussing racism or inter ethnic attitudes isn't racist. 

Guyana is a divided society and unless we have some way of connecting with each other as GUYANESE, and we identify as GUYANESE first and as our ethnic group secondly we aren't going any where.  If our ethnicity is more important that our nationality then we are engaged in an undeclared civil war.

Spot on.

I am actually interested in your take on this now that you know the characters that are involved.

Feel free to open a new thread.  Unless Guyana resolves this issue its chapter and the book comes to an end.  The kids showed us that it isn't impossible, but even with their success Druggie suffered a meltdown as the involvement of blacks in this multi ethic endeavor assaulted him.

Ignoring a festering wound doesn't make it go away.

So how do we learn how to connect as Guyanese at least the degree to which Trinidadians connect with each other?  They have their own issues with division by race (Indian and black) and by color (light skinned vs. dark) yet they proudly sing "Trini to D bone" and beam with pride as a collectivity when they do so.  Guyanese will murmur it and watch each other warily as they do so.
