ronan posted:Drugb posted:ronan posted:Drugb posted:Gilly, I am not disputing that Afro labor was used to plant rice in limited quantities, after all they were slaves and did their masters bidding. What I question is which group really proliferated rice production to its current importance as an export crop today in Guyana. You will acknowledge that it was the Indo's that did this as evidence by the dearth of rice farmers today in Guyana. The ronans and caibjs will shout all day about how Blacks was responsible for man going to the moon and the cure for cancer, but history will tell a different story.
LIARD nonsense
no one EVER disputed that fact! . . . and the historical/economic reasons for this which has NOTHING to do with race
nice try at moving the goal posts moron
now, let's swing back to this idiot business of yours that rice was not a major crop in "Africa" . . . hmmm?
It was not a staple in Africa. An obscure regional crop and nothing near the variety used in cookup.
jackass, "AFRICA" is a huge continent populated by many ethno/racial groups
WEST AFRICA, a sub continent-size area, is the region where most of the Black peoples of the Caribbean find their roots
not South Africa, not East Africa, etc.
THAT "region" is where rice was historically an extremely important food crop way before the depradations of the slave trade
btw, your bt shaking doan impress anybody . . . you know absolutely NOTHING about rice "varieties" or anything even remotely agro-botanical
however, even for a dunce like you, there is still time to get a proper education
arite?
Dem afroG didn't know anything about rice cultivation. Is the white man teach them at the end of a whip. Then the Indians came and showed them how it could be done commercially. Look at who the rice farmers are in Guyana, 99.999% indos, that should tell you something. I remember when Bunham, another dunce, tried to force blacks to cultivate rice on the east coast and miserably failed during the 70's.
