I'm sure have leading PNC social media types praising the PNC for handing out houselots wid every coolie homan is not the best strategy for an already paranoid and shrinking ethnic population. Especially when that paranoia is quite justified.
sick bastard!
where in gawd's name is the PNC "handing out houselots wid every coolie homan"??
why is reality never enuf for the febrile race cultists on this BB?
The operative word is SOCIAL MEDIA TYPES, not the PNC as an organization.
His reference isnt to the PNC leadership, but it is to a few of their rather naive supporters, who do not understand that ethnic identity among Indians is different than it is among blacks. So such statements can be distorted and made to look like an advocacy for some sort of Indian Holocaust, which is actually the OPPOSITE of their intent.
I thought I was pretty clear and quite fair to the PNC for pointing out the source as PNC Social Media "Types" and not the PNC leadership. I did so for good reason. Thank you for your fairness.
Indians (even the most liberal Indians) are friggin appalled at the idea of us being douglarized out of existence. Talbot may mean it as some benign solution to Guyana's race issue as I'm sure it's a solution to every nation's race issue but Indians like any other relatively closed ethnic group hears extermination and genocide by other means as effective as mass murder without the pesky news reports. Saying this kind of nonsense to Indians is the surest way for us to go back on the PPP plantation because we like being Indian and we celebrate our heritage and want it preserved. Douglarizing us all doan do that.
When we began our "debates" it was out of a realization that those who are culturally creole (embracing of people of ALL ethnicities who wish to be, inclusive of those with Indian ancestry) have a very different notion of nationhood than do those with a core "Indian" ancestry.
Once we get rid of the PPP and have a government of "National Unity" there will need to eb discourse on this topic. Until there is there will be endless actions which lead to distrust and tension. I fully expect that to emerge within the coalition, if it wins. Which is why this conversation will be necessary.
People with good intent will continue to make blunders like those who think that comparing Granger to Desmond "Persaud" doesnt offend, and likewise those who advocate a socially engineered form of "douglarization". Indeed Jay Bharrat called that suggestion "racist", but is now to afraid to explain why when I challeged him on it.
Now however is not the time for that debate as the focus nust be to rid Guyana of the PPP scourge!
