People like d2, cain, caribj and the turncoats regard Indos as evil and interlopers.
Just as the first indentured laborers were treated as imposters and interlopers, their descendents today still struggle for equal citizenship in Guyana, still resist second-class treatment, still regarded as outsiders.
In what way? Daily you portray your racism against blacks, screaming that we are losers and having mental meltdowns when the success of black individuals is highlighted. Even ranting that blacks are capable of nothing unless Indians help them.
Now compare the treatment of slaves and of indentures. The indentures were permitted to form stable family units and to retain control over their kids. Slaves were chattel as were horses and didn't even have the right to raise their kids and their "marriages" could be ended as soon as a planter decided to sell one of the spouses.
In fact it just goes to show the basic racism that many Indians manifest when they cannot even recognize this fact. Indians today are drinking the same medicine as did blacks under Jagdeo/Ramotar. Jagdeo was as callous towards bauxite workers as Granger is to the sugar workers. And in fact Bookers left Guysuco in a fairly healthy state and Jagdeo DESTROYED IT.
So why the screams that some don't think that taxpayer funds should be used to support an industry with no future? After all isn't this what we were told about bauxite? So those who think that sugar has a future ought to buy it. Or just let it go the way of the sugar industry in Trinidad and St Kitts. If the sugar workers in those islands managed then so can Guyanese.
