Iguana, trying to paint himself as uppity. Just reading him, the venom in his thinking demonstrates his unbringing. Black folks in the villages used sey a person is brought up well or dragged up angry.
The Book James expresses profoundly about the use of words.
Billions of people of all races walk around barefooted, only Iguana had shoes since birth. Nasty chap along with the Other One, both angry bruddahs.
My first shoe was a hand me down from one of my cousins, it was too tight and gave it back to my aunt, it came in handy my younger cousins. Around when i was 14 yrs, on a school tour to the Botanic gardens, my mom bought a white yachting boots, that's all she could afford, i cherished and keep that foot wear for a long time.
You are probably correct, Iguiana may have grown up uppity, he needs to tone down. Trying to get back at the guys who are condescending to Afro-Guyanese, which is not acceptable. He is getting himself muddy just like them with some of his descriptions of Indo-Guyanese. In the early days over 90 percent of kids in the country areas walked bare foot to schools.
Nothing to be ashamed about walking barefoot, many countries in the world people are doing such.
