The power is in the people to change that,can they do it,yes they can.
Will they do it,we will have to wait and see.
I am done with this issue,no more resurrection of these old events,a lot of folks can learn a thing or two.
The BGEIA began the whole notion of apan jhat with their ill conceived colonial scheme. You will note that this plan occurred a scant 33 years before the first race based election.
Also some history for you. When the PPP expelled Burnham they also expelled Dr. Latchmansingh, and Jai Narine Singh. Latchmansingh became the chairman of Burnham's new party and Narine Singh the secretary.
So Burnham did NOT start the ethnic split because he had NO INCENTIVE TO DO SO!
So please conjecture what entity introduced the notion of ethnic voting into the PPP.
Bhai Carib,i am aware of the PPP split and which Indian followed Burnham,Africans also stayed with the PPP.
Politics are dirty,Politicians use devious ways to get voters on side,the race card was played,the rest is recent history.
