caribny posted:Indian men have a problem of feeling emasculated and the homoerotic yearnings of the Indo Nazis for black men manifests this. These characters are brave only behind PCs and try desperately to signal some measure of virility, but these same "men" will flee that the minute that a strong black female barks at them.
They see themselves as weaker than black men, and unable to defend themselves and they cleave to Jagdeo who they think did so with his Phantoms. They see Jagdeo as protecting them from "black man". Decades after Burnham their self esteem is still shattered by how Burnham tossed around Jagan and make him look impotent.
While blacks also fear the economic dominance of the Indian business elites and their ability to utilize private militias they do not depend on any individual man as the savior. There is no "Jagdeo" in the PNC. Afro Guyanese are extremely individualistic whereas rural Indians are very communal.
So the PNC base is a good deal more independent minded than is the PPP base, and likely to transmit their disgust with the PNC. Corbin found this out in 2006 when many PNC voters stayed home. The issue that we will find out is the degree to which the PNC base disgust with people like Harmon, Jordan, and even Granger offsets their fear of a return of Jagdeo and the Phantoms.
A lot of hogwash due to being spurned by an Indo woman so many years ago, now I am beginning to think it was not an indo woman but a tantie indo male that did the spurning.
You could have easily summarized the 1st 2 paragraph in one sentence:
"Black PNC have the brawn and Indo PPP got the brain" .
