OK I see that we have a problem of interpretation here.

 

 

1.  Black people are seen as "PNC" and are punished by influential Indians, just as in the Burnham era Indians were seen as "PPP", and therefore seen by influential blacks as unworthy of respect as human beings.  This as revenge for the Janet Jagan era of the early 60s.  We are currently  in Round 3.

 

2.  Black people are already being punished because some seek revenge for the PNC. So Indians were punished under Burnham because of what Janet did (Round 2).  Now in Round 3 blacks are being punished for what Burnham did.

 

3.  I suggest that this issue be dealt with because the cycle of revenge will continue if it isn't.   We are in Round 3.  Let us prevent Round 4 of revenge if the PPP ever loses.  D2 made mention of this, and that seemed to be a relevant comment.

 

Despite what you and Kari think the PPP and the PNC are tools used by both groups as they exercise their fears of dominance by the other.  You cannot separate either race from the party which the bulk of them support.

 

And indeed look at the AFC.  In 2006 when Trotman was at the head he pealed off some middle class black and mixed votes.  He didn't pull in too many Indians.  In 2011 with Nagamootoo and Ramjattan at the helm they pealed some Berbice Indian votes, but lost some of the African/Mixed votes.  So don't tell me that Guyanese are innocent of the racial angst which cripples Guyana.  That is a cop out.
