They don’t attack Django or called him adopted black , ... cause he hugs them up and hides like a coward liking their bigoted racist comments against Indians- that’s what Black people appreciate.. people with Django mentality.

What nonsense are you on ? 

where Gilly corrected ? what's wrong if Indo-Guyanese have relatives that are Afro-Guyanese ? 

From way back in history, there are mixed race in Guyana and the numbers are increasing.

Nothing is wrong having Afro family. It’s wrong how you identified yourself self as one .. 

you Django have never call out Ronan, Carib and Iguana ( the snake who once soccer punched you.. so to speak) on their vile comments against Indians.. why Django why? 

but you Django would be the first to chastise Indos for their racist comments against Indians. 

Racist comments have been thrown against both race. 

Vish stands up like a man and called them out and we saw what they did to him, why are you a coward. 

FM

Declassified information released provided information that the PNC was financed by the CIA and that they used explosive devices on Indos.

Racist shytheads like Ronan can only blow smoke and shake their Battie. 

Let them rub their whitewash brush all day long until their racist and bloody hands get corn. That Shyte ain’t fooling one single indo who suffered the brutality of PNC racism.

shake you Battie antie Ronan, shake cause we are laughing our heads off at your stupidity.

What a stupid dumb ass thread, just plain fkin stupid. Same shit over and over year after year, yall doan have a yak to wak or something?

Every dam person knows the PNC for whatever reason were and possibly still are bullies and every dam person knows the PYO were trained in explosives by the Cubans, trained to kill but somehow the PPP are saints, never did wrong. I guess their training was for  the purpose of fireworks on special holiday.

As mentioned by the black posters, yes blacks were guilty of committing acts of aggression, Indians are also guilty of doing such against blacks. So, let's hear it, are they wrong? Do we hear once and for all both races are/were guilty?

Carib is notorious racist for his racist bigoted comments. When Indians complain, they are viewed as racist, since when it’s ok for Afro only to cry racism. 

  

 

1. What does Carib say that is racist?  Oh, telling the Indo KKK that they should stop pretending as if Indos haven't also been guilty of a full gamut of racist behavior from implicit bias all the way through to open violence. And these comments are put within the context that blacks have ALSO been guilty of these acts, just NOT the only ones that are guilty. This is why Caribny is "racist".

2.  What do Indians complain about?  Let me tell you about the most recent screams.  Two incidence happened in 1964 one involving the death of 3 people and terrorizing 3k.  The other involving the death of 43 people and terrorizing their relatives and others who used this vessel.

Here is the "racism".  Caribny, ronan and Iguana ALL acknowledge the horrors of the Wismar attacks and urge that the tragedy of the Son Chapman bombing be also put in the same context.

Here are the Indian complaints.

1.  3,000 people were massacred.  And no mention must be made of the Son Chapman bombing because no Indians were killed.

Now let us examine this.  3,000 were NOT massacred.  This is a lie peddled by the PPP as it attempts to extricate itself from its own role in ethnic violence.  Black lives are unimportant so no acknowledgment must be made of the Son Chapman bombings.

Dave you are a racist fraud and I just exposed you.  You will reply with same racist ignorance which will expose you to be what those who know you tell you that you are......a racist!

And yes, I do NOT have a racist bone in my body. I challenge you to find ONE, just ONE racist post I made here! The problem with you all is that pointing out your anti black bigotry qualifies as "racist". If so, then I am guilty as charged.

its been established that the only racists on GNI are Caribny, ronan and iguana. Why?  Because it is racist to peddle the truth that in Guyana BOTH Indians and Africans have engaged in behaviors based on ethnic panic which has led to mutual distrust.

We must go down on our knees and beg forgiveness and also accept the premise that blacks are ugly, stink, lazy, violent, stupid and that its even OK to advocate honor killings for any Indo who marries them.

I remain amazed that someone can talk about honor killings and not be permanently banned. Had this statement been made on FB that exactly would have happened, plus a call from the Canadian gov't.

Again,

the use of "massacre" is overreach....but this is how one person described it in a letter..

This is NOT how one person describes it.  This is how the PPP spreads this as they attempt to deny that the PYO were not a bunch of savage hooligans who engaged in numerous acts of racially inspired terror, and that they weren't armed and trained by the Castro regime.

You attack ronan and not dave. Why?  Is it that you wish to allow the PPP to spread its usually lie that they didn't also play a massive role in our tribal civil war, painting only the PNC as the instigators?

Clearly yes so cease pretending that you are objective.  You are an Indian who accidentally ended up with black relatives and I increasingly believe that you don't like them.  Your pattern of "bad black man, good Indo" is too consistent for me to believe otherwise.

How do you know our Student of the Year has black relatives?  And if he does, why do you have a problem with that?

1.  He claims to be a Dougla.  By definition he must have black relatives. He is however clearly Indo identified so I acknowledge this by calling him an Indo as he clearly doesn't empathize with his Afro ancestry.

2.  I think that you have a problem with that because I certainly didn't attribute anything negative to that fact.

When one look at history of British Guiana, now Guyana for 124 yrs,  [with the introduction East Indians as indentured labor in 1838] Africans and East Indians lived among each other, for that matter all ethnicity were living and bonding together with out any major troubles.In struggles against the Colonial Masters they bond together fighting for their rights.

.

Don't peddle Jagan's fantasy that the problem in BG was only class.  The tensions between the two began when indentures (initially mainly Portuguese) together with African and West Indian immigrants arrived in in the colony.  Their presence enabled the planters to find alternate labor when the creole blacks went on strike in 1848. 

The African and West Indian immigrants quickly assimilated into the creole black population so it was the indentures who became suspects.  Tensions with the Portuguese are well documented as were the two anti Portuguese riots reflecting incidents when it was alleged that Portuguese acted violently against black individuals.  The indentures in turn, seeing the low regard that the colonial authorities had for Africans, also despised them in turn.

British Guiana was an extremely polarized colony where skin color, hair texture and religion were used to signal social status with Africans and Indians at the bottom, even though these were the most numerous groups.

Indians arrived in large numbers after that period and by the 1860s they were the dominant labor force in the estates.  The planters played both groups against each other so that both groups could be exploited.

By the early 20th C the BGEIA decided to attempt to make British Guiana, Indian Guiana.  Middle class blacks and coloreds, already marginalized by the colonial structure, panicked when it appeared as if yet another group was organizing to oppress them.  The BGEIA stated boldly that their goal was to make the Indians the largest group in Guyana so that it would be Indo controlled.  They boasted of their plans to make BG into a virtual Indian colony.

If you think that tensions only began in 1962 you are deeply mistaken.  People don't suddenly hate others because some politicians tell them to do so and it is also a fact that in the beginning neither Cheddi nor Burnham were racists, nor did they seek to exploit ethnic fears.  When Burnham left he took Indians with him and ensured that they had prominent roles within his faction of the PPP (which later became the PNC).  Cheddi similarly tried to hold on to blacks like Chase and Eusi.

It was the Indo KKK types, seeing that Indians were the largest bloc, who wanted to achieve the goals of the BGEIA by ensuring that a post independence Guyana would be Indo dominated with blacks relegated to the margins.  So the cries of "apaan jhat" were made to ensure that rural Indians didn't vote for the candidates which Burnham put up (the urban Indos who left the PPP with him and who probably had scant ties to rural Indians).

Calls of apaan jhat generated "kith and kin" as an outnumbered African population feared Indo domination.

The tensions existed before and became open because of ethnic panic about which race was going to replace the colonial administration.

Guyanese must cease this nonsense that "we all got on before Burnham and Cheddi".  I am old enough to know when a man like me would have only worked at Fogarty's, Bookers offices in GT, or in a bank as a watch man. Do you think that blacks liked that?  No they didn't.  And this is why they were determined to ensure that they had control when independence came.

and the same source also indicated that the PPP was supported by Castro's Cuba and the USSR and that PYO thugs were sent to Cuba for training in terrorism and bomb making.  Not only that but Cuba even sent weapons to assist the PYO.

So go and scream "Caribny ah wan racist because he say dat de PPP was just as bad as de PNC".

Carib,

I was able to find some old British Guiana documents from the 1800's and first half of 1900's, which i am reading, i am looking for the conflicts between the people you are mentioning, currently i can't find any serious distrust.

Regarding the BGEIA scheme to increase East Indian Indentured Laborer in British Giuana, the documents was posted on GNI. That plan didn't materialized after an investigation and a report was done.

That very BGEIA scheme generated distrust.   The bigger issue at the time was tensions between the colonial authorities and the masses.  But the behavior of the BGEIA and the presence of the LCP shows that there was an ethnic dimension to this.

That the tensions weren't more obvious was because neither group had power but as independence began to approach so did tensions as nervousness about "which race gun rule" became more apparent.  So even though the Burnham split was supposedly more about a personality conflict, with some political ideology built in (Burnham was center left, Cheddi was a Marxist Leninist) it morphed quickly into ethnic tensions.

And those who scream that Burnham started this are silly given that the seat distributions were biased to the rural areas, the white/colored/red elites hated Burnham, and so clearly ethnic votes guaranteed a PNC loss. And when voting became ethnic the results showed exactly that. 

Splitting the Indian vote was Burnham's focus.  Not thinking that the black vote alone would guarantee victory.  Even though apaan jhat wasn't Cheddi's original goal he remained silent when such demands grew as he knew that Indian ethnic voting would lock Burnham out of power.
