No, not one black poster here stereotypes Indians or even uses the C word, unless it is in quotes for reference.

In fact even in the unlikely event that anyone of us were inclined to do that the others would tell them not to.

Yes it is clannish. But what is the alternative? Allow the PPP to systematically marginalize black Guyanese? We know that is what they will do, look at their supporters here!!!!!!. Similarly Indians ask what is the alternative to the PPP to protect Indian interests in what is also their homeland. I agree with Carib that there needs to be open dialog between both sides to air the grievances and map a way forward. 

I likewise agree with D2 regarding the laws of the land. Whatever the dialogue between the 2 sides, it will not remove the disease of racism from people like Nehru, ugli and Dave. Their racism must be curtailed by policies which are enforced, that protect society from their almost genetic racism.

The suggestions of both D2 and Carib are not contrary to each other. They must actually work together.

Black people lifestyle was elevated under PPP government. 

In the last 2 years ayo sk&nt punishment went back to 28 years of PNC government.

Iguana, caribny, ronan have all acknowledged black racist attitudes towards Indians and the reasons why Indian suspicion of PNC is justified. Itanane did also until before the Indo supremacist attitudes which are promoted by GNI (Ray says he sees no evidence of this) drove him off. So too did most of the other blacks who have also left for similar reasons.

Now we hear Indians screaming "black man bad, Indian good, so black man must apologize".   Now why should we care about Indian lives when YOU and 90% of the Indians on GNI dont give a damn about black lives?

With due respect to you D2 do you think that the civil rights laws solved racism or the many challenges that blacks and other nonwhites have in this country.

In 2016 a white supremacist bigot was elected, 50 years after the civil rights laws.

So yes understanding the underpinning of racism is important.

Maybe Jagdeo plans to have Maduro invade if he doesnt have his way.  Its not a coincidence that the Venoz made their move at this time.

I will not forget May 2015 when Jagdeo and Maduro said the same things, word for word about the new Coalition gov't.  I bet they had a lengthy telephone conversation.

I actually see that as two simultaneous activities.  

What is needed is an analysis of the contemporary reasons for ethnic angst.  This not being "dialogue between the races" as I dont consider either blacks nor Indians to be monolithic, nor do I think that either has unique spokespeople credible enough to advocate for them.

We need to know why this ethnic angst.  Now all of us on GNI have our opinions but a broader view is needed. Also given that in 2012 only 70% of the population identifies as "African" or "East Indian" then clearly the Amerindians, and others need to be factored in.  Inclusive of our emerging Latin population as more Brazilians, Cubans and Venezuelans begin to live in Guyana. 

Also who are these "mixed" identified people and to what extent does this self description impact their ethno political behavior?  Within a generation mixed identified people will be the largest "ethnic" bloc.

While all of this is being undertaken we need to have a serious review of the constitution as it is increasingly inadequate.  The PPP in 1992, and the Coalition in 2015 promised to deal with this and neither did. Anil Nandlall wrote some nonsense a while back, screaming that the PPP revised the constitution, but clearly if it did Guyanese weren't involved, because most insist that it needs revision.

We should not allow politicians to develop this new constitution.  Guyanese have very weak civil society. We move about as individuals in an opportunistic way, leaving every thing for the politicians and then we blame them when they behave as politicians all over the world behave. 

A committee should be developed consisting of representatives from the length and breadth of Guyana. It ensure that the diversity of Guyanese as defined by its ethnicity, its religions, its occupations, and its geographic regions should be involved. No political parties should be part of this process.  This to ensure that some cozy arrangement to protect the interests of two corrupt, incompetent and race based entities is dumped on the nation.

In the interim I think that we should serious consider some sort of gov't of national unity until such a constitution be agreed upon, subject of course to referendum. 50:50 so that they will both have to cooperate to get things done, or waste time fighting and undermining their credibility, without getting anything done.

The constitution committee should have a fixed time to complete their task.  After a referendum is held and the constitution adapted and voted in by parliament then an election can be held.  The hope is that this will be the first election which isnt a tribal war.  It shouldn't be because by then we should understand why our ethnic angst and we should have a constitutional framework and a system of governance that allows Guyana to function.

I dont know what D2 is talking about because he is very vague but I do know that in places where measures were  put in place without recognition of the underlying issues all that happened was that plaster was placed on a septic sore. South Africa being case in point.

I wish it were dialog he suggests. As I have been told often enough he wants indians to bend t he knees and apologize. That is silly. First it ain't going to happen, it is not necessary and black people are not saints. Dialog starts naturally as each side figure out the new rules. 

If for example there is constituency level legislative elections with designated districts, people  have to compete and appeal to everyone. If there is a multi-vote system people cannot vote ethnically but must vote real choice or they risk losing their best candidate.

Lots of other areas of cooperation can be coerced by proper systems and with communal interactions at the interstices of the cultures, nationalism is born.

The reasons for ethnic disunity  is always in culture, religion, land, oppression. If culture and religion is allowed to be freely expressed, land problems addressed equitably and systems placed to supervise and coerce compliance, dispute and competition is decreased proportionally.

Constitutions are to be developed by a cross section of our people with our thinkers and legal scholars guiding the path. Every community should be invested by having the principal portions that define the government be vetted locally and informed opinion develop when it is put to a referendum. What the Granger regime did is passed it off to political elites, some of whom are greedy bitches.

I am not vague. I cannot tell you what is necessary. That is like asking me to write t he document. I can tell you the scope, a bill of rights....a system that devolves local processes to local people, and enumerated rights of office with everything else not mentioned  defaulting back to the people. I can suggest we have a bicameral system ( in this instance) since over lapping constituencies in an upper house can help with cooperation between majority ethnic groups in districts of  the lower house. I can say we need a primary system for selecting eligible candidates for office and that we need a cabinet that is made up by the best in the society who must be nominated and approve by a majority vote in both houses. I can suggest a variety of electoral systems to mediate ethnic dominance but these are all issues to be proposed, debated and the best selected then the nation approves.

I can be vague in the systems part because there are dozens of arrangement that can suit our needs.

Malaysia and Singapore still have ethnic issues, papered over only because a single ethnic group is dominant so the minorities have to be quiet.  Northern Ireland's problems are hardly resolved and there are fears that Brexit might reactivate the tensions.  I wasn't aware that Taiwan had two ethnic groups, almost equal in size and power.

We dont talk about Brazil's ethnic issues or Cuba's even though they exist.  The blacks and other darker people are so over powered that they can murmur, but pretty much must accept status quo.

Guyana has two groups, both strong enough to seriously damage the other, so neither interested in accepting status quo.  Do you think that Charran is seen as a hero because of his "conscience". No he represents revenge against those who betrayed the tribe (Nagamootoo and Ramjattan).   When Hoyte told Green to behave himself when the PNC lost in 1992 he was similarly considered a traitor and as a result the PNC lost the GT mayoralty in 1994.

This process is as I described. I use the term Civic but the process is the same and both you and I are concerned that this process should NOT be in the hands of the politicians. Once a constitution is developed than it goes through the parliamentary process and is subject to referendum.  If the population agrees with that which is then presented to them (as developed by civic stake holders and not political parties) then it is implemented.

My concern (and not yours) is that the political structure is not the only reason for our ethnic angst. 

If the second largest group feel that the political structure blunts their ability to respond to private sector bias against them they might be forced to use methods outside of the legal system.   At the end of the day its bread and butter issues which concern people.

That is why I insist that while we work on the constitutional aspect we need also to analyze the underlying reasons for the ethnic angst, because I can assure you that Afro Guyanese frame their dilemma within economic terms.   The ethnic angst is way more complex now than it once was and Amerindians can no longer be ignored from this debate. Nor can this "mixed" group who will be the largest in a generation.

Long gone are the days when this is seen purely in terms of whether the PNC can win elections are not.  Volda's crude rant was because blacks were claiming that they were still being economically excluded, even with a PNC dominated gov't.

South Africa didn't deal with its underlying ethnic angst which is why its a boiling cauldron now.

Nothing is perfect. Anything beyond the blackman/coolieman paradigm is better for us.

Ireland is not in flames and the people no longer hide in their houses and bombs are not going off in the street left and right. Brexit is a different beast.

Taiwan had to deal with the new comers who were mainly army folks fighting on the mainlanders and the local chinese. They were the same ethnicity but the alienation was outsiders vs insiders.

The rest of your post has nothing to do with what we are talking about but the pathology arising from it.

That which holds up Brexit is significantly the issue with Northern Ireland.  The fear is if not handled properly the flames will glow again.  If the existing constitutional arrangements were sufficient to prevent ethno- religious conflict the UK would be leaving the EU not caring about the problems that this would present to ease of travel between Ireland and Northern Ireland.  But there are still underlying identities and potential for conflict.

The issue with Taiwan is different from Guyana. 95% are Han Chinese.  The fact that some arrived before others is no more relevant than a squabble between people from Linden and GT. It doesnt rise to ethnic angst. The native Taiwanese are a dominated, and I bet, an impoverished minority group.

So I have yet to see an arrangement where underlying ethnic angst by two groups almost comparable in clout, can be ignored.

flash frozen foods are as good as fresh food. We suffer too much loss when the shelf life of food is only a day.

We also need to establish a modern  brokering/factoring/ assigning process to move foods to processing plants. The idea of millers taking farmers paddy and not paying them tells how poor this financial strategy. If a factor guarantee the milling fees and paid the farmer the money gets into the system quicker. I have friends who plant bell pepper in Florida and the crop is paid for in the field before the harvest.

Nothing is perfect. Anything beyond the blackman/coolieman paradigm is better for us.

Ireland is not in flames and the people no longer hide in their houses and bombs are not going off in the street left and right. Brexit is a different beast.

Taiwan had to deal with the new comers who were mainly army folks fighting on the mainlanders and the local chinese. They were the same ethnicity but the alienation was outsiders vs insiders.

You are confused as hell. Brexit has nothing to do with what was signed in the cessation of the irish problem. That is Britain's own problem. 

It does not matter if the conflict is ethnic, religious, land etc they present similar as satisfying human needs and mutually agreeing to live in a system that monitors the satiation of those needs are not impossible tasks. Otherwise as an intelligent specie we would have wiped each out already. More people try to find solutions to conflict than not so we are still here.

Why black people and coolie people are racist is not my concern. What is my concern is that they do not use the state to satiate expressions of their dissatisfaction as is occurring today.
