Most blacks hate the PPP because the PPP is dominated by Indian supporters. Blacks don't support non-black leaders. Case in point is while blacks voted in large numbers for the AFC in 2006 when the presidential candidate was Trotman, their support for the AFC fell off significantly in 2011 when Ramjattan was the presidential candidate. Their hatred for the PPP is nothing other than racially generated.
If you knew Guyanese history, which I know you do not, you would have learned that the first party that most Afro Guyanese voted for was not the UDP headed by John Carter, but it was the PPP headed by Cheddi Jagan.
I look forward eagerly for you to tell me when substantial majorities of Indians voted for a party led by a non Indian. At least blacks voted for an Indo led party once. Indians have NEVER voted in large numbers for a party unless it was Indo led.
Blacks could have voted for the UDP which was run by middle class blacks and coloreds, but instead they voted for the PPP in 1953.
Your attempt to paint blacks as racist and Indians as innocent on this is quite silly and you will be hard pressed to prove your case.
