What he said about the sugar industry is also correct. BJ did nothing to help the situation, he just pumped money into a dying business.
Think about this. If there were more blacks in the sugar industry guess what he would have done?
True, but this is the mantra that Hinds and other Afrocentric leaders are singing in Guyana.
I dont believe that the PPP made a dedicated effort to disempower Blacks like Hinds is saying...they are not that smart.
But 3 hings are missing here:
1) The PPP did not tamper with the real seat of power: the army, police, bureaucracy...so much of what Hinds is saying is not logical.
2) Since the PNC now control real political power they can disenfranchise Indians, Amerindians, etc. Its not that difficult to do. Hinds is wrong on this...he is pushing his own agenda.
3) Assuming what Hinds is saying is the truth....how do we know when removing an Indian is not a deliberate act? Is there a criteria used for this??
The government need to set up a policy and plan as to how they are going to include the opposition in a future plan to tackle this problem.
Just look about you. There are no rich black elite from the PPP tenure. Yet everywhere you see the old and the new elites are indians. Even T-shirts vendors building malls.
Unless you are plainly stupid you will grasp that democracy is built around a stable well articulated and closely networked elite. They would sontaneously grow across the racial demographics if the democracy is organized around deliberation and discussion across the spectrum of the society. This elite is the social cement for progress and the only means to successful development of the society.When that elite is of one class, tribe, or ethnic group you have a dysfunctional democracy and it will inevitably decay into a dictatorship.
Take a look in our world today. Syria, Iraq...all have fractured elites; vertically segmented by tribes and horizontally divided by religious sects. Saddam did not build anything. His Baathist group were Sinis who deliberately subjugated other groups. Libya, was deliberately left tribal by Qaddafi. With him gone no summoning creed to weld the tribal enclaves into a whole. Syria is also similarly supported by a small sect who assumed all power to the detriment of others. The intolerable segmentation and dis-empowerment ultimately caused that society to explode.
Hinds similarly chastise the APNU for their lack of transparency, lack of inclusiveness and myopia. Granger created this monstrous Presidential Ministry with satellites ministries projecting from the center from which every management decision radiate. He is reproducing the same PPP structure and this time it will be even more devastating for us given he will have the means to create an African elite class tens of times more rich and powerful than you can ever envision.
None of this would have happen if not for the base insidious diseased condition of greed that came from the PPP
