Reply to "What Makes GNI Tick ?"

Anta, I never stated that African American poverty is by choice. We cannot ignore the fact that Indo Guyanese are progressive people. Indo Guyanese and Afros are living with access to the same schools and whatever limited resources available and yet  Indos are thriving. 

It could be that as a result of years of institutionalize racism and demoralization that African Americans in Schenectady lack the necessary economic skills to succeed. Many Guyanese who recently came from Guyana have homes and expensive cars and are doing quite well as compared to generations of African Americans who live there. Sadly some African Americans are living in worse than third world conditions. 

In the case of Indo Guyanese who have moved to the US, they have far exceeded what African Americans have done in the same neighbourhoods in a such very short time.
