Why should blacks tolerate racism and discrimination within their own race ? The English still sh1t on the Irish and north indians still view south indians as inferior ! Arab muslems still see black muslims as inferior . Spain still does not recognize latin americans as spanish hence Hispanics or spics . African natives do not respect afro americans and indian nationals view indo caribbeans as ****** indians and so on and so on . Point is , when there is self respect and communal cooperation there is power and strength . I tell you now afro americans find africans as comedic beings and jungle bunnies and I sh1t you not.

Employers discriminate no matter their ethnicity simply because of stereotyping. Most of Liberty Ave as with the majority of small business and Mom & Pop businesses cannot afford federal minimum wages nor insurance and pensions and anyone who thinks in these terms are simply beating their heads against a wall. Get real , pull your head out of your a55 and see that the social economies of yesteryear are gone and are not coming back so get creative and innovative .

Dude black leadership have continously failed blacks and continue to do so and folks like blame others for their demise . Why should the indo or white be blamed ???? The public sector in Guyana and USA have always been more lenient to blacks while the private sector is uncontrolled and unregulated therefore , anyone can have access in this sector .

In 2002 I never threatened to shoot black people , I threatened to shoot anyone who continued to violate the rights and security of east indians , who by the way are pu55ies ! I said if the PNC and their surrogates choose/elect to get even with the PPP by attacking indians they indians must fight back . SO F#@K ME IF THAT IS BEING RACIST !

Moron I never said blacks should not buy from indians I said blacks need to support blacks business just as the Chinese and Portuguese did which made they a significant force of the private sector .

You can put all the twists and spins you wish on things the fact is, people like you fuel blacks to be enraged and hate and be dependent on handouts and alms when in fact they have the capacity to grow and expand in the private sector . BTW , my electrician is a black jamaican and I refer all my customers and client to him why ? because he damn f#@king good , reliable , honest and professional . I do not use Indoa guyanese contractors because they are scamps and full of cock . Frankly , I dont give a sh1t what you and others think what I say is a friken fact....



This is where you go wrong. There are no "Africans" in Guyana if you mean a link to continental Africa. What ever culture of cooperation existed among Africans in Africa was destroyed by slavery and colonialism. To say that AfroGuyanese and other TransAtlantic blacks have a tradition in cooperation because their ancestors in Africa did is irrelevant. Maybe they did in 1650 but many years have passed and the authorities (INCLUDING BURNHAM) made sure that any culture of cooperation between TransAtlantic blacks was destroyed.

Slavery and colonialism taught blacks not to trust each other and to find individual ways to survive. This is the base of the culture. This is what the people know and to introduce a concept which is alien to them is a nonstarter.

I also wonder why when ever the topic of blacks come up you always get to black leadership.

Well what leadership to Indians in RH have? Ed Ahmad? Should they be blamed for this? No. Like every body else, including blacks, they will do their best with what ever tools they have at their disposal and if any one tries to block their progress using race this should be dealt with, whether it was the PNC or whether it is some white employer in NYC.

And where do you get off on the notion that blacks are some sheep led by called "leaders". Another trait we learnt in slavery is we dont trust our leaders. Even MLK had to struggle mightily to win the support of his people. There were many who didnt want to cooperate with him.

If some one uses race as a criteria to determine who they hire, who they purchase goods and services from or who they offer contracts to THEY ARE RACISTS!!!!

You have a jamaican electrician because he is good and honest. Yet you endorse racists in Guyana who would not give him an opportunity becaus ehe is of another ethnic group. You then suggest that he should not protest against this. The facts are it is not only those who are discriminated against who suffer, but its those who accept low qualityy work, or high cost services instead of utlizing those who desreve patronage, or employment.

Yes I agree that small IndoGuyaneee business cant offer competitive wages and benefits. This is why most IndoGuyanese who can do better find work elsewhere. Now suppose the white man told them go find work from your own people and leave us to hire only whites? You would be the loudest to scream RACE!! Because even though you own your own business if you depend mainly on IndoGuyanese for patronage your success is tied to their incomes and if their incomes are tied to impoverished businesses than that means they have less to spend on you. And if you DONT depend on IndoGuyanese then if others told you to get lost because you are not of their group, regardless as to how deserving you may be then you lose.
