The problem isnt at the bottom. It is how the bottom perceives that the ethnic elites will treat them. Ramkarran said as much when he admitted that Indians fear and African dominated gov't and have reasons and that Africans also fear an Indo gov't and have reasons.
It is unfair and unreasonable to expect ordinary powerless people not to manifest this fear when they in fact experience this on a day to day basis.
When the PPP won power, especially after 1961 they tried to push out people and install their party stalwarts, given Guyana, these being Indians.
After 1966 the PNC engaged in tit for tat and given Guyana there were blacks.
In 1992 we saw ethnically based tit for tat, and this wasn't merely in the public sector, but also the private sector squeezed blacks.
And again in 2015 tit for tat with Indos being squeezed in the public sector, though survive within the private sector.
So dont tell the ordinary man not to express their fears and dont blame two dead men either. We need to start a dialogue if we want to change this environment and that involves changing how the elites behave.
Jagdeo's NCV was unproductive and only aimed at a power grab. What needs to change is the constitution, which was the work of a dictator, and since them only massaged minimally to suit the needs of the political elite in power at the time.
