If any land is given it should come with conditions, maybe it’s use should be for farming and it should be monitored.
However, what about the other ethnic groups? The Indians can argue that they deserve land due to Indenturship. The other races can also have valid arguments. This sounds like opening a can of worms.

Exactly. What about the other races? Why is it that Afro Guyanese are being singled out? What differs them from the other indentured immigrants (Indians, Chinese, Portuguese etc. ) who worked and sacrificed and saved to own what they own now? I spoke about this sense of entitlement a short while ago and here we go. It's a crock of shit. Work for you want.
