I support fully the idea of cross-ethnic alliances. I just want to send the right Indians to negotiate and represent Indians. Moses and the AFC crowd are not it. Only Dr. Ramayya would I trust.
Lastly, I can't emphasize how devastating the "I'm not Indian" comment has been to Moses.
Well Indians are being set up to look like racists if the only context that they can see themselves in is as Indians.
Cross ethnic alliances are based on people seeing themselves first and foremost as Guyanese, with a range of common interests. If some one enters into an alliance with the notion that they are an "Indian" leader, the presumption is that their interests begin and end with Indians, and not inclusive of other ethnicities. So why then will other ethnic groups support them?
Cross ethnic alliances are exactly what they are. People from different ethnic groups working together to support goals of mutual interest with the notion that every one will benefit.
Unless the Indo faction listens to and shows interest in the Afro faction and the Afro in the Indo, there is no basis for an alliance.
In addition there are no monolithic Indo and Afro groups, so there shouldnt be some test to determine if some one is Indo or Afro enough.
Continued screaming will lead to Guyana becoming another Fiji and I dont think that any one except Jagdeo wants that. Jagdeo of course using his paramilitias to ensure that he gets what he wants.
