caribny posted:And yes shortly after Cheddi won in 1992 he embarked on a strategy of demoralizing Afro Guyanese with his infamous "blacks at the bottom" rant.
When his tactics were uncovered he pretended as if he was referring to African Americans.
Well aside from the fact that he was a FOREIGN head of state who didn't care one fig for black Americans the context where this comment was made was tied to an attempt to convey an image of the "illiterate Afro Guyanese". This by citing a study which showed functional illiteracy to be statistically the same as it was among Indo Guyanese. Though Cheddi wanted to show a difference of less than one percentage point in favor of Indians to pretend that blacks were considerably more functionally illiterate than Indians.
This and he was exposed by some Afro Guyanese who had a quarterly magazine at the time.
So Gilbakka spare me your "Cheddi is a god" nonsense. Cheddi was a monster who unleashed his PYO dogs of war in 1964 to destabilize the country because he did NOT want an election under the PR system! In this he was no better than were Burnham and D'Aguiar who did the same in 1962/3 when they also wanted to destabilize the country in the hope of forcing early elections!
The only verifiable proof of who organized and committed the violence in the 1960's was what was presented by two sets of documents. One was the papers released by the American government that detailed how the CIA and American government organized and funded opposition groups to disrupt the PPP government and foster disturbances and the resulting violence. The second was the inquiry into the Wismar massacre and expulsion from Wismar. Another other is speculation and opinion on your part that you seem to want us to believe is fact.
Please post the stuff about Jagan's supposedly rant against Africans so we can make our own judgments.. I do not trust you to make judgments for me, especially thru your ethnic lens.
