The thing is, I am scarred forever, with my personal experiences, I don't trust a blackman. Mits, you don't know me and I don't know you, so don't throw insults, I am well schooled ,I invested smart, I took risks and I am OK. No political party or any person helped me.
I understand your feelings to a degree. But you have to understand that we cannot use what some Blacks did as a reason to perpetually hold Guyana hostage for past insults, crimes, etc. etc. committed by a Black nationalist party.
We have to move forward and build a modern democratic state. The present regime is clearly not the solution. They rape, rob, and abuse ordinary poor people. Especially their Indian constituency. Something has to give.
I am loathe to support a Coalition that will very well see some of the political architects of the post-election rob/beat/kill Coolie strategy reach high political power.
However, there is a bigger picture. General Granger would make any Guyanese (Black or Indian) proud. If he had any ANY skeletons of anti-Indian anything, I'm sure we'd know about it already. Councie would tell us.
As a matter of fact, I think he'll be a President better than Desmond Hoyte. I'm actually sure he'll listen to and address "Indian" concerns far more than that daag Jagdeo and Ramotar. If only because he needs us. But that is also the kind of man he is. He has managed to actually win the confidence of former staunch ROAR supporters and activists because his long biography shows a decent public servant who did his job in the finest traditions of Afro-Guyanese middle class service to the State.
We can trust Granger.
