As expected, not you have the "coolie" boogie man to point your little dirty fingers to regarding the Afro plight. You also blamed Burnham for not "teaching" Blacks to compete with Indians. You are a sorrowful excuse and even your own Afros would be ashamed at your concoctions. Shameless man!!
I find it interesting that a Guyanese Indian will be very opposed to racism directed against him at his job in North America but sees nothing wrong with it in Guyana, provided that its blacks who suffer.
Now as to Burnham. Yes Indians have proven themselves to be clannish. The first thing that former slaves did was to attempt to be economically dependent by establishing farming communities and small businesses. the colonial authorities, fearing that an economically dynamic black population would be a threat to their dominance, set out to destroy these activities.
The result being a people who were afraid of risk and dependent on the state, or on others for employment. If Burnham really cared for his base he would have address this problem. Instead he FURTHER undermined black economic independence and so when the PPP took over blacks were marginalized.
We see people hear advocating that businesses should hire they wish, engaging in discrimination if that is their desire. This isn't a shock as it is known that Indians are ethnocentric, and seem unable to function within multi ethnic communities.
