You are being sarcastic because he is Blackman by name and nature.

Take a look at Texas where you reside. One out of every seven Texans works in agriculture related jobs. Even you are counted since you peeled Aloo in the Army. Cattle, dairy products and cotton are exported across the  other states and the world.

Guyana can become the bread basket of the world if the GOG invest the oil money into agriculture, except sugar cane.

Mits you ever see the size of those Texas farms and the small number of people working on those farms. Guyana don't have the land mass, level of technology, quantity of soil or supply of cheap Latin illegal labor to keep those farms working. Let him try that on a Guyanese. You will hear ' That black man who name blackman a sit a America University wearing fancy shoes and tie want broke me back here with hard work in Guyana, Me want fo go America like him'
