He made a mistake by omitting the phrase "in the US", assuming that his audience was familiar with the historical facts. That omission is what caused the misunderstanding and controversy.
PPP spin. He meant Afro Guyanese as his plot was to demoralize them as he sought to Indianize the country.
What gives a head of state the right to comment on what is happening in another nation unless people within that nation were asking them for help. I bet you if Obama commented on the status of blacks in Guyana during the PPP era all of you would have screamed!
