Indo Jamaicans, who arrived as indentures, are embedded in the Jamaican culture, and in fact some claim even brought with them the chillum pipe to smoke ganja, and inspired Rasta dread locks.  Curry goat is as Jamaican as it gets.

 

So there is something specific about Guyana, Trinidad, and Suriname.

I am in agreement that the culture of virulent racism that perpetuates the schism is a manufactured culture. It is one of the reasons we have to be proactive in the society to make official processes transparently clear that they are race neutral. We also have to begin to establish systems of recrimination and condemnation for any in the society displaying this odious behavior.

 

We do not even have the merest of repudiation to reporters or government officials who are racially objectionable ( or sexist) in the society. Jagdeo should have been made to apologize to the nation for lying that he was married and he needed to be held accountable for his behavior to his wife. Berri Ramsarran should have been fired forthwith. Anil should never be heard of again and Benschop former mother-in-law and Mark Ramotar should never write or be permitted on any news outlet ever.

 

We have to develop ways to incur a penalty on the racist. There should not be the kind of nasty bigotry on going here on this site. Granted it is hard to police but when Cobra speaks to black people supposedly deficiencies it should not be allowed to stay. As long as the intent is to presume any by  by virtue of race or gender or sexual orientation; it should not be allowed. We need to self police if the moderators are too lazy.
