One coolie man voted his conscience after watching his constituents suffer. In doing so, he caused a power-hungry bunch of individuals to go into a tizzy. Assaulted and death threat sent him into hiding. Because he was honest, he is labeled a Judas who was bribed with millions of dollars.
Is there anyone here who can prove that a bribe was given? Was he or they the porter(s) for Charandass?
If a negro did this in a PPP government he would have been called Superman and a savior of black people.

Because its simple....people understand political power and why its important to hold on to power....no one gives up power that easy...

besides....there is too much at stake here....whoever wins will be able to ride the wave of the oil economy....and may be in power for a long time.

Put yourself in the shoes of an Afros...this means they will be locked out of power for a long time....like the Indos were locked out for 28 years....the difference here is that the coalition is not going to give up w/o a fight.

Jagdeo and the PPP did more for the negroes than he did for the coolies. Negroes were not completely locked out from the PPP. Coolies were locked out more than negroes, that is why Jagdeo had so many coolie enemies. When the PPP was in power and I visited Guyana to conduct my mother's business, I dealt mostly with negroes. They had it good then too. If the PPP was to fire them like the PNC did to the coolies, riots would have ensued.

It might deem offensive. However, if it's in the dictionary and it is not considered derogatory, I will use them.
