I do not believe Granger is racist however , I have heard him make some pretty stupid remarks, which people can and have mis-interpreted. The politics in Guyana is race based, has been and still is so, lets not forget that making statements within that political framework leaves lots of room for such situations. I realize that many Guyanese are struggling with their own racism , including the generation born post Burnham and jagan era , and are trying their darnest to rid themselves of this demonic possession . I know they want to be fair and just but when a society is diseased by racism it takes generations to cure and lots of courage .
