In 1967, I met some Jamaicans in Canada. Being a small group of people of color(Indo Guyanese and West Indian Afroes) we found ways of passing the weekend-playing cricket. Being comfortable with one another, eventually the discussion went towards racism in Guyana. What was told to me was shocking. The impressions, we Indians were subjecting Blacks as second class citizens, we had them in bondage, somehow. We were their superiors.
The same things Caribj is seying some 50 years later.
Now, with the recent Guyana elections. One day a Bajan family friend came by as she usually does. For 48 years we know one another-children and grandchildren. A long way we go back. She exercises with a Black Guyanese lady at the Y. Soon after Granger's victory, the Afro-Guyanese put down a story of how bad coolie people are in Guyana towards Black people. The Bajan was shocked-she never encountered any Indo-Guyanese racism towards her. Caribj tells the same story. Fabriacted lies.
I suspect every Afro-Guyanese have some inward resentment towards East Indians. As Priya Manichand had said, "we know dey doan like us.
I accept that. It is a reality. Those East Indians who wishes to fool themselves, keep reading the Black racists on this site. Every Black person may be thinking like them. The KKK have its roots in African culture, it is not an Indo thing.
If u say bad things about my Indian race, believe me, I have plenty say to about Guyanese Blacks. Forbes Burnham leff a bitter taste with us.
Benchop arguments were stupid and Greenidge couldn't answer the interviewer's questuon. Stupid on their part. Guyana has East Indians, I want to see them in Granger's govrernment.
So reading your racist filth we have the following conclusions.
1. Blacks are stupid.
2. Blacks have no right to lead Guyana. Only Indians and Amerindians.
3. Blacks are the only racists in Guyana.
4. Any claims that Indian racism exists are false.
Of course VVP, Kari, TK and the other SO CALLED Indian non racists will ignore you. If there is any response it will be aimed towards me.
But here is the deal. Aside from Gilbakka and Riffraff there is no admittance that Indian racism is as much a fact of life in Guyana as is African racism. Some peddle racist nonsense, with seignet now being a proud member of the Indo KKK. Others ignore these comments, but then wail when some one states that Indian racism has had a very profound impact on Guyana.
Any one reading GNI, and noticing how very insulting comments are directed towards blacks. They will note that rather than condemning these remarks, the socalled NON RACIST Indians attack blacks when they comment on this bigotry.
So what is one to conclude about the role of Indians in Guyana's racial tensions. That Indian racism is rampant and is CONDONED by the vast majority of the Indian population, regardless as to whether they overtly engage on this or not.
Seignet I am very glad that you make my point about Indian racists. You will continue as only the 3 blacks who post regularly on GNI will condemn you.
