No one is going to argue against the proposition that the PNC dictatorship was unfair and unjust to the whole population and specifically it was indeed racist in its orientation towards Indians.

However, almost every Indo man jack amongst us survived the deprivations and injustices of the system because we knew one or two or three or several or more Blacks that made our lives livable at times and perhaps even ensured our economic or physical survival at a crucial point. That there were certain Blacks who enjoyed the sadistic exercise of their power over us in their little fiefdoms especially in denying us even the most meagre government "benefits" such as a passport there is no doubt, but there were far more Blacks from Burnham himself to certain of his Cabinet Ministers to local police officers and local public servants who displayed humanity and a significant degree of fairness to us (Indians). Even those who got a lil freck out of the deal.

When my grandfather talks about Wismar, he also remembers his Black friend who courageously smuggled two Indian boys out in rice bags as though they were livestock.

I was a child in the 80s but I recount our Black neighbors helping us to hide our almost 1 ton or more of banned goods from an impending surprise police visit one day.

Even my friend Malcolm Harripaul recounts how as a young GDF officer, he encountered racism in getting a credit union loan and Granger personally placed a phone call to command the credit union to "Bring his check in 5 minutes".

I'm sure there are numerous other instances of Blacks who helped their fellow Indo countrymen get something done if they possessed the magic Party Card or some government connection or something we needed and they availed it to us out of humanity or friendship. Therefore, we cannot continue this blood libel against all Blacks for what some Blacks did to us individually. It's time we look back with a more dispassionate and nuanced eye.

Yugi you are a congenital racist. You lack credibility.

Our problem is not with Blacks.

Examine the PNC and you will see individuals like Carl Grenade (Greenidge)  and Oscar Clarke who are still in charge of the PNC and ready to pounce upon us again.

I remember the late Sat telling us during a trip to Ottawa about how he had to hide in a toilet for days during the riots. He saw Afros slashing and murdering Indos.

Do you expect Indos to embrace these thugs again ?

The PNC never cleaned their closet.

Yet you embraced PNC street thugs you claim to have brutalized you, the likes of Lumumba, Bynoe, Edghill, Hamilton, Kwame, Rabbi Washington, etc, etc.

You must be a real sucker for punishment or you simply like the strong black street thug type.

You lack basic intelligence to engage. No wonder you are the most banned member here due to your vulgarity and nonsense.

The bossman should put you in the slammer again for your lack of intelligence.

Dunce

You keep your enemies on leash and feed them scraps. Ever seen the movie the Godfather ?

Today, Gil and Moses join the PNC thugs and are now selling Indos to the PNC for free. Lot stock and barrel.

Gil and Moses are forward-looking persons. We are not trapped in the past. We want an end to racial politics. We want national unity. We want our young Guyanese to look forward to a promising future.

Great, but why aren't you in the rice fields and in the cane fields telling people this?

Why are you being an ass ole? What are you doing?  Why don't you get off your fat lazy black ass and come to Guyana and do something rather than hiding behind your key board and posting shit.

Mits, Why are you so angry, take it easy, we are all in North America playing politics. Would you go back to Guyana to live? even if the coalition wins in May??? I give nuff respect to the poor people in Guyana who have to struggle every day. Organize and adopt a village, a school, offer scholarship to needy kids. Guyana has become a piggy bank for all politicians, I lived the time when PNC joined with UF, I lived the PNC era, I know what is hardships .Whatever said and done Guyana is a TWO party State, and we have seen both of them in action.

I see.  So Nagamootoo and Granger should continue to make lofty statements in the comfort of Pegasus and I must go out into the rice fields to advance their case?

Is that your point?

What sense does it make for ordinary people to spend their scarce resources to help these "gentlemen" if they themselves seem to lack the fire to go out there and campaign and whip up the crowds.

You do NOT launch a campaign in some hotel with specially invited guests.

You go to the VOTERS where the VOTERS LIVE to do so.

If APNU AFC fails to understand this why should I go to Guyana?  To hear them say "the sun too hot, why you want me to campaign in some rice field, or bauxite mine?"

Like I said you are full of horse manure and you are pissing against the wind. You are a dunce. When will you ever learn?

I see so I must spend my money and time to campaign for a group of people who I consider to be inept and incompetent and unwilling to do what it takes to win.

You blindly cheer them and call me racist because I don't blindly sing their song.  Typical AFC.  Want others to do the work that they themselves don't want to do.

Let us analyze this remark and see how enlightening it is.

I see once a PPP always a PPP. Cannot help yourself even though you now have an in house fight with them.
