You were looking for a phrase to validate your mental reflection. You lived with the PPP, complaining little and demanding no diversity in their plan but now it galls you.

Yes it is wrong and statistical expression of our political prejudices  but you have no moral footing to say these are obliged to match your concept of diversity when you were silent previously.

It is our problem of being political sheep. Note, Redux and Caribj, the target of your projection of your hate for APNU on this site,  is not even as you conceive them to be. Unlike you they complement the good and complain on the wrongs before them. They question  now and not as you  did back when the PPP was in charge.  Whether jagdeo says it or not is irrelevant. It is what you say.

I am the one that said Indians are the one with the strict cultural prohibitions about race. I said no other ethnic group has similar cultural fences.

In a competition for scarce resources ( and resources are eternally scarce) these these prohibitions (  reluctance to mixed group formation)facilitates rather than mediates marginalization. It causes resentment to those shut out.  It produces machinations to overcome that by any means ( when rational processes are not being entertained by the political community) It results in rigging as we seen in the Burnham regime or special clauses to exclude Indian hegemony as in Fiji.

Ignore these at your own disadvantage. If Indians do not accept that they can be eternally at a disadvantage in the present system they will join in the appeal for constitutional change. They should not let their cultural disposition for cultural insularism act against them  in the futile hope that the PPP gets back into power under the same system.

That is paddling up stream. The numbers are just not there to sustain such a revival of the PPP as and indian only party. The shoe is on the other foot now and it bites hard. Those fearing indians are now huddling to ensure their exclusion. It is our eternal problem...racism and arbitration of our political power structure by race. I hope you can see it and get out of the crab box.

Even when you get kicked in the nuts for being pedantic with formal writing you deflect with your usual instrument of choice, racism. Man wake the f.uck up. You are days from the tomb and still carrying the burdens of naked prejudices.

Go back to grating and squeezing cassava and shut your cunny up. I am surprised that you saved us the pain of going through your verbose hogwash that says "nuttin".

Sorry...your wish does not make my reality. I was born to the pickney of the bakraman, the one you logie dwellers ran left and right to crying sahib sahib....I guess you like being insulted. "Cunny" is Scott-irish colloquialism...even here you cannot strive to be original and authentic.

You have raised this point as have I. It would be better for the assorted Indians on GNI, at least the ones who represent themselves as moderate and intelligent (VVP, VishM, and Kari) to debate this point.  TK has spoken out on this and has been called a "dirty Indian" and self hating.

But they purposely avoid discussion of this, except to scream that any mention of this is anti Indian.  They refuse to see that perceptions of ethnic exclusivity is at the core of the African ethnic insecurity dilemma.  The African looks at the Indian and sees;

1. A group which excludes them, because they aren't Indian, and so are outsiders.

2. A group which gives priority to a sense of nationality as Indians, living in a geographic space celled Guyana, and therefore doesn't see a common fate, or reasons to cooperate with the other people who live in that land. So again they exclude.

3. They see a people who peddle the myth of "bad black man, good Indian", and so refuse to admit that Indians are as guilty of fomenting our ethnic distrust and the resulting dysfunctional political system, as are Africans.

4. They see Indians therefore playing a game of ethnic exclusion against non Indians, while simultaneously pretending that it does not exist.

Result is that there is a ground swell among segments of the black population for the APNU to give preference to Africans to allow them to make up ground lost during the PPP era.

So VishM can seriously look at the PPP (which described itself as a "coolie party"), which did its best to squeeze out blacks from decision making roles, rendering blacks as dependent on an Indian dominated system, and then wail that Indians were powerless in the 23 years of PPP rule. 

He refuses to listen to the vast majority of blacks in Guyana who so they were powerless, excluded, felt that they were victims of a slow holocaust, and feel glad that they can once again be part of how Guyana functions.

Given all of this, on what moral ground does VishM demand fairness, when he screams that not only was the PPP not fundamentally focused on the exclusion of Africans from top leadership slots.  But that Africans were dominating Guyana then.

The notion that those who run CJIA (top 3 were Indians) are afraid of the immigration officers is a huge JOKE!  That those who ran G/twn Hospital, again top positions were Indians, as was the Minister of Health, were scared of the nurses is a JOKE!

Vish Mahabir, when you are ready to discuss the role of the Indian in creating Guyana's ethnic morass then you have the moral authority to demand that Granger be fair.
