That being said, we need to address the problem of fairness and develop methodologies to address what the PPP conveniently claim does not exist, racial segmentation. Calling Granger a racist is tame for what will come if we avoid addressing this problem head on and constantly pretend we can continue in a "democracy" by one racial group simply because they are marginally superior in numbers. Worse, that race identified party is now claiming complete authority and it is a minority!
The PPP has no interest in any intelligent discussion concerning our racial anxieties. Indeed this comment about statements ALLEGEDLY made by Granger and most likely out of context at that, is an attempt to fan racial anxiety from Indians. You see the "bad PNC is again terrorising Indians" is their cry.
And as usual they muffle the clear racial intent by "introducing" African supporters, real or imagined. Of course we are left to ponder about what happened to those African supporters when they were most needed last election.
Now when the Chronicle wrote that Africans were a race ofr brutes whose sole intent is to attack, rob, rape and kill Indians what did the PPP have to say about this? The paper is owned and controlled by the Govt and so they bear responsibility for its contents.
But you see its OK to peddle the myth of the Savage Black man. Now it is pointed out that many Indian victims of crime suffer at the hands of their fellow Indians, that is considered racist.
I amk really sorry for those blacks who are cursed to be living in Guyana. They live under conditions little better than Jim Crow where they are terrified to publicly describe their condition and yet daily endure racially based abuse.
