Reply to "Racism in Guyana"

Viper, what can we do? You seem concerned, what have you done about it?

The way I see it. We were ruled by Whitey, things were ok at the time but it was said the white man sold what we produced, gold, bauxite etc and gave (some of us) a somewhat comfortable lifestyle with whatever meager "lef lef" we were offered.

When Guyana attained Independence it was thought with whitey gone Guyanese would finally reap all that they sowed...so far they seem to have sown disharmony, racism and  nuf nuf  crooks.

What I find real strange about all this is the fact that I have seen all races stand together, work together, play together but somewhere down the line racism rears its ugly head and I've always asked myself, "by whom?"

I went to school in an area known as Warlock, (East Ruimveldt) a rough tarass neighbourhood and I saw some of my relatives (Indos) and others get along just fine with the blacks there with no problem. In my school I was called Tarzan I was the only Portuguese there and I never felt any different to my school mates, it was there I learned tolerance and emphaty.

This racism and hooliganism is always carried out by small groups (no different to the ignorance being done by trump and his backward redneck group) and it would be great to see all races work together, if not for themselves at least for the young ones left behind.
