I see you ignoring the rest of my comment...
Maybe I am late to this game...the election made me more conscious about Guyana. I am trying to read and learn as much as I can about Guyana's history.
However, I am confident to repeat that 2 wrongs is not = right. If this government campaigned on CHANGE then they should set the standards. Do you see how ridiculous it sounds when on the one hand Jagdeo and the PPP are attacked as racists and then the US is telling us that Granger is an east indian racist?
Granger should break the racial cycle. But soupies like you are not helping the situation. There are anti-Blacks out here, but YOU, based on your comments here is likewise an "Anti East Indian Racist"...like Granger.
I am fully aware of what you said.
The whole thrust on GNI is about "bad black man, good Indian". Stormborn/Danyael gave you several opportunities to discuss Indian racism. You said NOTHING, until you began to attack Itaname and I and redux as racists.
YOUR behavior, when you were given an opportunity to discuss Indian racism indicates why blacks shouldn't trust Indians.
Having been shoved aside for 23 years, what assurance do blacks have to make up lost ground, before the PPP returns to power, and shoves them aside again?
At no point has there been any indication that Indians in Guyana are willing to admit to their own role in Guyana's ethnic distrust.
So now the boot isn't on the Indian foot, when it was used to kick blacks for 23 years, suddenly cries from people like you to play fair.
Well the only way that blacks will have the assurance that they can play fair, without this being to their detriment, is if they see Indians being willing to play fair. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS!
Are Indians looking at the hiring practices of the overwhelmingly Indo dominated private sector to see that they are being fair to Africans? NO!
You only want "fair" when it suits you.
So carry your so and so with your hypocritical cries that "Granger must change". Virtually NO Indians made that demand of the PPP, and when blacks did so they felt the full weight of Indian poer DEATH THREATS and all.
This last election we saw a vulgar display that the overwhelming majority of Indians are Indian FIRST, when they followed Jagdeo in his most racist screams and demonization of blacks, and when he distorted Moses' comments with the infamous screams that he said that he isn't an Indian.
THE PPP MOUNTED OVERTLY RACIST ELECTION CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT INDIANS WANT!!!! THEY SEVERELY DAMAGED INTER ETHNIC RELATIONS IN GUYANA!
