Stormborn posted:Dude, I was never a PPP supporter. I know the lot. I grew up around the Gimpex Crew. My first post on this site which I have was chastising them Cheddi for going to Malaysia to invite loggers to plunder our timber. I knew he was stepping into a land mine because he invited the same crew who denuded Malaysia and Papua New Guinea and Sarawak and mistreated native peoples.
I argued with you because I disliked labeling stereotypes. You were then under Guyana and called Indians, Indic. Even when we were on the other web site when GNI failed I maintained that both sides have gotten us into this pickle and their intransigence to learning what solved similar problems elsewhere is the rock against which I bang my head. You also are trapped in the same tidal lock.
You cannot see Indians are people as are blacks as are Amerindians and the same under the skin and in the cranium and what shapes attitudes are social experience and culture. No one is born stupid. I think all racist people are stupid even the geniuses like William Shocklee. Stupidity is the act of will fully subscribing to a notion despite the absence of evidence in your favor and the abundance of evidence against you. Stupidity is a willful denial of a reality and refusal to update ones knowledge base to change.
"Indic" isn't even within my vocabulary. That is more likely a word that you would use.
My comments about Indo Guyanese racism are no different from those made by you and in fact you CANNOT deny that I have also made reference to African racism. You in fact at times have been a good deal harsher, I guess because of your more direct contact with it, given that you have Indo Guyanese relatives, so have more direct exposure to the covert variety than I would.
Here is the TRUTH. No one here disputes the fact that African racism exists and that Indians have suffered. I do not and neither do any of the black identified posters who have been here within the past 10 years.
I speak more of Indian racism because the dominant theme on GNI is that it either doesn't exist, or it exists only in reaction to the racism of blacks. My FIRST post here stated that BOTH Indians and Africans have been racist to each other and BOTH have suffered from this racism. I challenge you to name Indians here (other than a few like Django and Chief) who have made similar admissions.
I am aggressive in dealing with those who bring racist attitudes towards blacks because I was extremely angry that a little black girl from Buxton, who might have her own range of problems, was HUMILIATED by grown men who screamed all sorts of KKK like anti black bigotry.
Before I was on GNI NO ONE here, including YOU, condemned anti black racism.
