Nothing wrong with celebrating our diverse ethnicities, cultures and religions.  That is what being Guyanese is all about.

One can still be diverse and yet be one people.

So says the man who is the only East Indian in his household.

You can also eat the nuts. Usually, if you buy them at the market, the nuts are already removed as they are sold separately as cashew nuts.

50 years and more Guyanese outside than in Guyana. What to celebrate other than Blacks in charge once again but we all pray for different results from this government.

This is a time we reflect over the years gone by, be it good or bad, for we may never live to see another 50 years. I can only wish the best for the country and it's people. Put politics aside, Guyana is our home, our mother country, is the land we all have high hopes for one day to retire in a small village by the river side swinging in the hammock under a mango tree with a cup of rum and coconut water.I can only DREAM, CHEERS!!!

I share your sentiments, kp. Thanks for posting.

Happy 50th Anniversary Guyana.

Thank god it is over, blackman fest. Blacks celebrating blacks in power.

In America, you are no different than the blackman.

50What to celebrate other than Blacks in charge

And why didn't you also condemn the notion of Indians in charge?

During the 23 years of PPP rule Guyanese continued to flee, and were so desperate that little islands like Saba, Nevis, and the island with an erupting volcano, and toxic air, Montserrat, were destinations.

It really doesn't look that ethnic domination by a single race has done any good for Guyana.

Of course had the PPP won, and it was a PPP fest you would have been attacking any who critiqued the 50th as unpatriotic.

Rest assured though.  Even with the PPP in power Afro Guyanese would still have commemorated this event.  Unlike others our identity as Guyanese doesn't depend on whether APNU or the PPP is in power.

Not sure about the whites/Europeans living in Guyana. Maybe if you look hard in the UK you might find one or two who admit to being Guyanese.

White Guyanese fled en masse under Cheddi, and the few who remained left when Burnham continued the destruction of Guyana that Cheddi begun.

Happy 50th Guyana.  God must always bless you and all your people, every one of them.
