VishMahabir posted:knowing and having douglas in one's family does not make a person non-racist. I know some mixed people who are violently racist towards whites, and others who are racist towards blacks, etc.
In fact among some of the most anti black racists include douglas and blacks with non black spouses. So when people cite this as evidence of non racism that doesnt impress.
When Jagdeo was in power he systematically marginalized blacks, excluding them from leadership. He also intimidated mid tier blacks into doing as they were told. Several blacks were passed over for promotion, and others were left in acting appointments, which deprived them of pension and other benefits.
Jagdeo was proven to be an institutional racist and there is nothing that he can do to disprove this. It is deeply ironic that he uses blacks as did the slave masters. For sex and nothing more.
