Total nonsense. Over 85% of Guyanese live along one main road which starts on the Pomeroon and ends on the Corentyne River.   Guyanese are less geographically isolated from each other than are Trinidadians who occupy almost every square inch of their island.

An Afro Guyanese from Hopetown and Ithaca is radically different from one from G/T as well. So what is your point.  In fact many Indos in G/T have more in common with their black neighbors than they do with some one from the Corentyne. You being a case in point, even though your hatred of blacks is very evident.

White and black Americans really don't like each other but what BOTH understand is that there is an AMERICAN identity. Just get in a line in front of a working class black American and hold up the line because you don't speak fluent English.  The xenophobic reaction that you will see will make Trump proud. 

And as to white Americans. Interesting. I was just in the Caribbean on vacation and I was amazed by the numbers of white Americans who approached me as an American. I guess living here after a while there are certain mannerisms that one develops.  Back in the USA I will be a black person they will stay away from. Outside of the USA suddenly we are fellow Americans.

Trinidadians also have that sentiment, as do Jamaicans.

Face it we Guyanese don't. Some people still pretend that they live on the banks of the Ganges River and so are utterly alien from all the others sharing the Demerara and the Essequibo and the Berbice with them.  In actuality they aren't and it took rejection from Indians from India to learn this.  But even now they cannot admit this.

You are a poor ignorant soul, you know so little of IndoG culture, a clear indication that you grew up in an isolated BlackG environment with little or no interaction with IndoG other than to spit at them in scorn. 

You pretend that you know IndoG. These folks know nothing about the Ganges, you ask them about the Berbice or Mahaica, Courantyne or Demerara and they will reply in the affirmative. 

Your outlook on IndoGs is a function of the racist upbringing that you had in your isolated world of black power and putting the boot on the Indo head.
