When you see it, you will shit bricks... or just hopefully recognise how rampant institutionalised racism is in this country and see how deeply Afro-Guyanese in the racist machinery are affected by cognitive dissonance. To save you some work, let me explain the connections:

1) The first picture (top-left) is a recent photograph of staff from the PPP-controlled State paper, Guyana Chronicle posing with Donald Ramotar. The first person circled is D Michael Wills, a young 'Afro-Guyanese' reporter who on occasion likes to engage in social media lectures about journalistic responsibility and ethics. Also circled in the picture are Ramotar and his nephew, Mark, the Chronicle's Editor-in-Chief.

2) The second picture (top-right) is a screenshot of aStabroek News article about the PPP deeming Shaquille Grant, a teenager shot and killed by members of the Guyana Police Force, a criminal.

3) The third picture (bottom-left) is another Stabroek News article screenshot of an article on the Bar Association calling for Donald Ramotar to disassociate himself from the latest racist editorial, one which paints all young Agro-Guyanese males as criminals, published in the state paper which his party runs and which his nephew is in charge of, a paper that employs young Afro-Guyanese employees like Wills and Leroy Smith, also featured in the first picture.

4) The final picture (bottom-right) is a post by Wills from the Ferguson riots to which he adds the hashtags, ForMikeBrown and FergusoninOregon. Not a single post however on the PPP's posthumous criminalising of Grant, a teenager who was shot and killed not confronting an officer like Brown was but simply sitting in a yard with some friends.
