Now you just think that you are just like them and then start crying when they reject you all by letting you know how Afro Caribbean they consider you to be.

As for Kwanza. Don't know how many Afro Guyanese celebrate but I do know that most celebrate Xmas and I do know that they do NOT celebrate Xmas the way that the English do.

And in fact most Afro Guyanese are NOT running around trying to be make believe Indians. But I leave you all to dwell in the concept of India that you all get from watching too many Bollywood movies while you chow down your beef roti, despite having the name Persaud.

Far from the truth, there are distinct differences between our culture but yet there is commonality. After 200 years of splitting apart, cultures will invariable evolve and may even assimilate other influences. Any Indog with this knowledge will never be ashamed of their culture nor will they take insults from any ignorant person like yourself trying to form a wedge. 

Your lack of understanding of the IndoG culture leads you to make ignorant statements about our need for acceptance from India Indians. In fact if you knew India then you would know even among its nationals there are thousands of different sub cultures that have very little in common. 

Blacks in Guyana on the other hand have all but abandoned their culture 100's of years ago to adapt that of the massa. Some remnants remain such as que que etc, however this is the exception rather than the rule.
