Y’all Coolie people need to stop glorifying the past. They should look at what these people went through and where they at now...many of them are still living like they still on the plantation,

they should encourage their children to become leaders, engineers, etc., because it look like they still not emancipated yet. Not Black people celebrate EMANCIPATION, not arrival.

That’s my two sense...

 

Vish,  please let me ask you this question. Do you still have ancestral blood running in your veins? Ole people used to say that like river which have sources, trees have roots. If you don’t know from where you came, you don’t know where you going. If people are happy living in the plantation, let them live. To them a logie was a home not a house. We’re you not born and lived in plantation on the West Coast of Demerara? Have you arrived?

All the young people who were hollering “Time for a Change” in 2015 are the ones who don’t know their history.  Now they want to change back.  Too late.
