this little 'anecdote' penned by a PROVEN LIAR and proud anti-Black racist informs public policy in PPP Guyana much in the same way the short 'stories' about encounters with evil Jewish doctors and evil Jewish lawyers in the pages of Der Giftpilz (The Poisonous Mushroom) groomed an entire generation of young Germans to be compliant Nazis and Jew murderers

somewhere in hell . . . Joseph Goebbels and Julius Streicher are smiling broadly

I worked in A&E in the '80's. I do not ever recall this happening...

Prashad, if you are not black you are brown. I have said that to my black friends and they respect me for that. The you know what black friend turn around and ask me - you ever heard of " if you white you alright, if you brown stick around, if you yellow you mellow, if you black stay back".

That's you, i saw it, I lived it.

Yes, the truth will be construed as lies by the guilty in denial.

we know all about your "truth(s)" and "guilty" blackman dude

the pages of Der Sturmer is your open source template

The AFC/PNC will holler racism but the truth must be spoken.

hapless yugee looking for a new pimp . . .

The inconvenient truth is always a bitter pill, but it is.

we know all about your "inconvenient truth(s)" and "guilty" blackman . . .

the pages of Der Sturmer is your open source template

coming from a bigot like baseman, I don't view this as a commentary on racial equity in the civil service

wha happen to the old pimp...it got too hot for him on GNI

Or he's looking for another 'logical fallacy' ..

Another PNC Indian Raymond comes to the rescue of their PNC racist friends.

did baseman and Nehru convert to PNC....???

Baseman is administration who run CBJIA Africans. I do belive that almost every top admin slot is held by an Indian. 

As in the colonial era the Africans do the work in govt offices, and now its the Indians, and not the whites, who crack the whip.

I mean look at the namke of the airport.  Cheddi Bharat Jagan International Airport.  You know that black people have a panic attack every time they think of who that airport is named after.  And now who is in charge of it.

You forgot the days of the PNC. Every post had 2 or 3 negroes as managers with 4 or 5 negroes doing one job.

1.  How many IndoCaribbean people identify as "black"?

2.  How many IndoCaribbean people do not have the same racist attitudes towards AfroCaribbean people that whites have?

3.  Until Guyanese Indians arrived in the USA and the Indians froim India shunned them, how many identified themselves as a Caribbean people?

4.  How many IndoCaribbean people even acknowledge that by virtue of living in the Caribbean for over 150 years their culture is no longer fully Indian, but has undergone transformation, the result of living under colonial rule, living alongside non Indians (most significant Africans) and being outside of India, and therefore not being oart of the cultural transformations of that nation.

Chat with yourself before you criticize people who do not include you because they are tired of the games that many Caribbean Indians play.

Recall if you please that in the Black Power rebellion of the early 70s when black militants sought to include rural Indians as they attempte dto make Trinidad a more nclusive society the Indians rejected them with the retort  that "we are not black".  That militant heard those comments loud and clear.

At the end of the day the only Caribbean people who place their Caribbean identity at the center of who they are are those of African descent.  You know full well that this is not true of most Caribbean Indians, until they get kivcked in the teeth by people from India.

OK let us diversify the LOW level positions held by blacks at CBJIA if you diversify the management slots held by Indians.

Of the 9 board members of CBJIA, 7 are INDIAN!  I do not know whether the remaining 2 are blacks either.

I agree that there should be balancing.

So true. The AFC/PNC are fighting to the return of the "good old days" of the PNC.

And when Indian dominated govts like Kamla Persad and Ramotar strip out as many blacks from EFFECTIVE leadership slots a sthey can what say you?

When the Chronicle, owned by an Indo Nazi govt, p-rints an EDITORIAL, lambasting AfroGuyanese as criminals who have done nothing positiove for Guyana, and whos eonly intent is to rape and rob Indians...and most importantly, when NO INDIAN PPP OFFICIAL comments on this what say you?

As I see it Indians are just as ready to discriminate against blacks as the white man used to do.  In fcat a study of hiring practises in Tdad claimed that Indians managers were MORE racist towards Africans than the white Trinidadians are.  And in Guyana it does appear as if it is easier for an African to be employed and promoted into a top position in foreigned owned than in Indian owned companies, where they see blacks as laborers, security guards, and sales clerks.

Quit pretending as if Indians havent been as guilty about bigotry towards blacks as the whites have been.

Tell you what.  A tour operator ha stours set up in Barbados for European tourists who wish a different experienc to what they can get staying on that island, given that mnay vacation for two weeks.  Offered eco tours to Guyana and to Venezuela.  The Guyana tours were scrapped as none of the toursits were interested.  Now one would think that English speaking Guyana would have been preferred given that the German, Dutch and Scandinavian tourists are more likely to be fluent in English than in Spanish.

So the PPP can scream as much as they wish.  The only people who visit Guyana for leisure purposes are overseas Guyanese, and Islanders coming to watch cricket or lime with Guyanese friends.  They can show us pics of teh 20 or so foreigners, but the reality is that any one in Guyana relying on foreign Eco tourists would have died long ago.

And what about Indo racists like rev and yuji whose opinions of blacks is way more edxtreme that most whites are...and they are PROUD of it, and I believe their opinions are probably close to the norm among South Asians and IndoCaribbeans, who are just more silent about it.

And many Indian teachers chase the black kids out of the class in Berbice, so how come you didnt mention that? It took a letter in the KN from a former PPP supporter who admited that the PPP had shown violence towqards Indos who didnt support them in the 70s. 

Even Ravi dev had to complain of similar treatment in 2001 when Janet screamed at him that he is "splitting" the vote.  Notable that she didnt accuse Hoyte of that.  So it is clear that she defined her votes ALONG RACIAL lines, and demanded ethnic loyalty from Indians.

 Indeed there was a well publicized case of a black woman at the Berbice UG dorms who was accused of being a thief, when there was no proof, and it turned out that the man running the facility just didnt want any blacks in there.

There is enough racism on BOTH sides, yet your focus is only on Afr racism.

I will not debate about whather your story is true or not.  I knew of enough arrogant PNC types who viewed Indians as being "PPP", therefore "antigovt", therefore not deserving of any respect.  In 2013 we see tehy SAME thing except the victimizers are now Indians and the victimized are now blacks.

You know if you stated that yes Indo racism does exist and it is naked revenge for racism directed against them in the 70s and 80s you might get sympathy from me.  Where you lose me is when you pretend that racism against blacks in today's Guyana is a feature of Afro paranoia and not a reality.  

I knew enough Indians in the Burnham era to know that their lives were definitely more difficult, just a stoday Africans now face similar treatment.  So if I can be honest about this, you ought to try it too!

I was there when this transpired. The tour operator asked the tourist if they wanted to visit Guyana, the tourist said what is there to do there? The tourist operator said, oh pnc burning and killing and by the way they have a great water falls called Kaiteur. The tourist replied, how do I avoid "pnc burning and killing" in order to reach Kaiteir falls. The tourist operator replied, it is luck and chance. Then he got into the details of cost, 400US return to Guyana from Barbados then 200US to get to Kaiteur falls + danger of loss of life and limb due to pnc mo fiah and linden riots. The tourist thought for a while and said, damn that is too much money for me, my wife and two kids, 2,400USD just to see a water falls and no blue water and white sand beach! 

You need to catch a dose of reality and stop selling your nancy stories. 

The airport should never have been renamed.  In fact Baseman still refers to it as Timehri.  To even out, the national cultural center should be renamed the LFS home of performance arts.  Baseman believe LFSB deserves even treatment tough I did not support him.  Baseman is fair, honest and non-racists.  LFSB was an impact leader good and bad but regardless he was the first post-independence leader.

On the other hand, if the airport was re-named Bharrat Jagdeo International Airport, blacks would get shittings at the sight.

And the tourists were Mr& Mrs Goads and Kids.  Were they going to charge you extra for that 100 pound goadee?
I always wonder how people who live in section 8 housing can afford to bring an entire family to Guyana.

My question to you is this.  Do you CaribNY see the East Indian as an inferior sub human to you?

You tell that nonsense to the racist whites and orientals who discriminate against East Indians because they are black and are out to hurt East Indians because they are seen as black people.  These racists would laugh you out of town.

And the tourist operator was Mr Mitwanda and his underaged lover boy toy, when he bend the boy over and shove his member up him, the little boy screamed for justice. The tourist take his 100 pound goadee and lash the pedophile Mr Mitwanda over the head and rescued the underaged boy from life of sodomy at the hand of this evil villain. Capt Gouveia was so touched by this story that he gave the tourist and his family a free trip to Kaieteur, saving him 2400US.  But before the tourist could go on plane to Kaieteur, a complementary surgery via the GPH was performed on the tourist to free him of his 100 pound goadie. All's well that ends well. ahahhahaha

where in his response(s) did he imply or say such a thing?

it seems that the red herring 'question' is your clever idea of an escape route from [your own] poor argumentation?

You listen up here.  CaribNY is no dunce or fool.  He may know that most Guyanese East Indians are black in the eyes of racist whites and orientals.  He may be just be playing the fool on the board here for your sick entertainment.
