If Burnham practiced Apartheid in Guyana, we have to find an explanation for the following:
- Joe Singh was head of the National Service
- Jean-Maitland Singh was head of the Knowledge Sharing Institute (KSI)
- Ramphal, Shahab, Steve Narine, Ranji Chandisingh et al all had top government positions.
Putting soldiers from different parts of the country in strange ares (for example, Wakenaam had GDF from Linden in 1973 before, during and after that hijacked election), banning yellow split peas and processed wheaten flour were not driven by race necessarily (though there may be some element of that) but sheer stupidity. Slowing down Indian culture was more of an economic (lack of froeign curtrency) impact than race-related.
These are the 1% for cover while the 99% lived in subjugation. Hitler used Jews, Apartheid SA had their tokens also.
The current lot of katahars feel outdone by the PPP and want to become the new 1% should the dastardly PNC sneak back into power. They are driven by hatred of the PPP ruling group and are willing to flush the rest of the people into a resurrected PNC abyss.
What bunch of crap, save money on dal (good economics) but spend on guns to oppress the masses who are unhappy. What a shameful comparison.
The PPP are hated because they are crooks. If you hate the PNC Of the past why should we not hate the PPP of the present if ever hate is an applicable word here? There is no shame in comparing evil There is shame in excusing it as you do with the PPP.
The PNC did have some good elements, just they practiced everything with a certain race bias and used the military to oppress the masses. If there is reform which places a berlin wall between the military and the political apparatus, I would be more open to seeing a PNC govt knowing that that can be voted out if the people so wish. However, in listening to the PNC politicians and guys like Redux, clearly this is not what they have in mind for Guyana. Given that, they can enjoy being in opposition for the next 100 years.
