Being treated like second class citizen and excluded from any role in running Guyana isn't a better run.  The fact that the PNC destroyed blacks doesn't mean that the PPP must be excused for excluding them.

In fact it the very destruction of blacks which made them unable to defend themselves against racists like you who scream "black man lazy".

Blacks work in a variety of occupations which Indians refuse to engage in. Like being police men.

There are historic reasons why certain groups in Guyana find themselves in certain parts of the economy.

It is a worthy debate as to why blacks in Grenada, St Vincent, St Lucia, Dominica, Martinique and Jamaica farm and blacks in Guyana, Trinidad and Suriname seem less likely to do so.

Clearly "black man lazy" is not the answer. Blacks in Guyana and Trinidad began to farm when slavery ended, but by the late 19th century began to focus on living in the cities.
