Furthermore...given Alexander's statements ...are they really going to oversee and election that will result in the PNC losing...a la Freddie Kissoon...
Indos and Amerindians should be alarmed at this ... and they should seek to prioritize their own interests...
i’m not on board with this reparations waste-of-time stuff
but why are you making things up and spray painting them as ‘questions’ to create fake ‘realities’ for spurious conversations pitting Afro-Guyanese against Indos and Amerindians?
invidious much?

I can only wonder where is the evidence that the Afro Guyanese want to take land away from anyone. My reading of this is that they merely want to have decision about managing a village be made at the village level. Given that villages in Guyana are inhabited by all sorts of people, and not just Africans not sure where there is a pitting of any group against the other.
The issue is if an African village is surrounded by Indian villages and these villages dominate the NDC then the concern is whether people alien to a given village will have decision making authority over said village.
I am often amazed at how fixated Guyanese are on the issue of race...it boggles the mind...almost everything I read on this site is like Afros and Indos are living in 2 different worlds.
I do have family members like this too, on both sides of the fence....
If we are arguing the highlighted above, you are really saying that the racial problem in Guyana will exist until infinity...why should Afros be concerned that the local villagers who may be a majority in the NDC be so concerned about such a situation?
Then, the same can be said by Indians who dont see them selves as part of the government, especially when the institutions of government, army, police, ministers, etc are predominantly made up of Afros....where will this lead Guyanese ??
Who exactly are the patriotic and nationalistic people of Guyana who are above racial divisions??
Vish, please show where Indians demand or lay conditions for their living in Guyana or any part of this world in respective of other races.
Why is it that Indos and Afros can live in harmony, until Afros start demanding ownership and blaming others for their failure, and do you expect Indians to stay quiet?
Indians have migrated to all part of this world and built successful family lives without protesting, unlike Blacks who always blame someone else for their downfall.
In Guyana, Indians get blame for Afro poor livelihood. The blacks protest, loot and burned Indians home and business.
In US and Canada, the white gets blame for keeping blacks down. The blacks protest, loot and burn business.
Vish, don’t you see a issue here.
