They are making my point that Guyanese will shed blood for "tribe" but not for nation.
and you have empirical evidence of this!
Yes. Just look at the comments on GNI. And do not fool yourself that what we see here isn't a microcosm of what happens elsewhere.
Guyana celebrated its 50th anniversary of Independence. Large swathes of the tribe which lost power decided to boycott the celebrations. Note that they could have insisted that they be involved in the celebrations as people in Jamaica did. But they boycotted.
And I have no doubt that similar might have happened if the other tribe had lost the election of the prior year instead of winning. You don't live in NYC so you don't see how divided we are when it comes to commemorating Guyana.
