Reply to "The Guyana dilemma"

My adult years in Guyana were the 80's before I left in 1987. During those adult years, I, being a motor cycle owner hung out a lot with blacks especially in the Campbellville area. My mechanics were also blacks from Campbellville, Mikey and Clarkie and we rode the streets at nights like any irresponsible bike owner in Georgetown did in the 80's. By that time I was not as scared of blacks as I was when I was a kid and can understand where Django is coming from given that he grew up really in the 80's. The races were as divided as they were in earlier times. I used to be terrified having to pass by that big tree at Stone and Campbell Aves. because people used to get robbed there. I once got a flat in Haley Street and drove my car all the way to that tire repair shop on Durban Street because I didn't trust not doing so. Those fears were not imagined.
