Since the PPP/C took office more than 4000 persons received house lots at Block #22, Amelia’s Ward and in other areas. If Linden is a community of impoverished and marginalized people as the APNU/AFC alliance would like us to believe then how could Lindeners build homes in these housing schemes?

Albert the people of Linden told you AGAIN.  They dont like the PPP.   They live in Linden and you dont so know things that you clearly dont.

Caribj, tell us something we don't know, for a change.

Here is the lesson: The more you pump money in Buxton and Linden the more ungrateful they become. Why is this the case? 

Hmmm.  So while the racist Indo elite castigates blacks for being "ungrateful",this being their whine since their humilitation at the polls, you wish me to remain silent.

No way.  You mioght wish to pretend that widespread racism against blacks in Guyana doesnt exist.  Many will continue to remind you that it does.

Like the woman who told her home sick husband..."its OK to be black in Antigua".

It's okay to be black in Guyana and Indian too and Chinese and Portuguese and Amerindian and Whites etc.

...but mo' okay to be Indian.

You are a nimackaram to your race.

In what context?  Maybe for her, waking up to see a Black president makes her day.  It was also "OK" to be black in Guyana pre-1992 even though many did not know where dinner will come from.

Caribj, you all could cut this every which way, it does not change facts and an objective eye will not agree with your assertions.

Because you arent pumping money.  You are awarding contracts to coirrupt and racist PPP supporters and the lcal arent empployed in the construction of these projects. Buxton and Linden has told you all this many times.  Most recently last year after the PPP boasted that they would beat the PNC in those towns.

And yet most Guyanese blacks dont think so and proved this by turning out in numbers and ensuring the PPP lost control of the parliament.  They told you whose rule they are tired of.

The woman is most likely an educated professional, as are most Guyanese blacks living in Antigua. She knows that being black doesnt prevent her from getting what she wants, nor does it raise barriers from avaricious and racist Indian bigots as it does in Guyana.

After the major organ of the PPP prints open bigotry against Guyanese balcks, proving my point, dont you think you look stupid pretending as if anti black racism isnt as much a feature of Guyana in 2012 as anti Indian racism was in 1976?

True under both the PPP and the PNC the poorest of their supporters were/are ignored but that doesnt remove the fact that the PPP is anti black, just as the PNC was anti Indian in its day.

Under both parties the main aim is to esnure rule by the elites of the race (blacks under the PNC, Indians under the PPP) and open warfare on the supposed supporters of the opposition were used to guarantee this rule.

As only token Indos had input into decision making under Burnham only token blacks (and far fewer of them at that) had input under Jagdeo.  We await to see if Ramotar will be less racist.

Conjecture on your part and surely could have difficulty standing the objectivity test.

That being said, I do have some sympathy for your views and opinions as I could relate to the feeling of exclusion.  I personally would like to see more qualified blacks in decision-making positions in Guyana.  Contrary to what you may think, I have mostly had positive interactions with professional blacks, be it in Guyana, US or Europe.

Most of the Guyanese in Antigua are teachers, nurses and others of that ilk.  Dominicans (from the DR) as well as migrants from Dominica do the donkey work, as do Jamaicans to some extent.

Guyanese at the very least, will staff front desks in hotels. One must have at least secondary school education to do this as no hotelier is going to have the first person a visitor meets to be some ignoramus better suited to scrubbing toilets.

Regardless as to what the blacks who you interface with might tell you there is no way the very weak PNC could have done as well as it did in the polls weere there not very widespread disaffection against the treatment that they suffer at the hands of the Indo elite.  We both know that the PNC was even weaker and more disorganized last election than they were in 2006, and yet they did quite well, considering their support comes almost exclusively from black and mixed voters.

This was a voter against Indian domination of a multi ethnic society. Not for Grainger.

The bottom line is the next election. And the PPP will win and those wicked ones like Mitwah and the others will be left by the wayside.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I actually was never convinced of a weak PNC, maybe bit disarray in 2006, but not weak.  Raphael did to the PNC then what Moses did to the PPP in 2011.  I was one of the few who suspected people to heed the call and "go home".  I expect the PPP constituency will do just that next elections.

You see Caribj my man, there are only two political "homes" in Guyana, PPP and PNC.  All others are just camping huts to which people make occasional excursions.  Indian felt the sting of ethnic insecurity on Nov 29th and almost regretted leaving "their home".  Most Indians have lost there appetite for excursions.  Unless ethnic insecurity is addressed, unfortunately it is how it is.

No indian areas were developed under the PNC.

It's time to ignore these bastards.

Flex and show 'dem' de powah . . . right Rama?

Something the PPP doesn't have, yet.

Don't know where you lived, but that's not totally true.  The PNC did make efforts in Indian areas, not as much as they should, but they did.  It did not yield much benefits at the ballot box due to other over-riding issues.  The PPP is experiencing the same today with Afros.

When dem gon get it, next coming of Christ?

Linden is not a state within a state,they now will pay the same tariff for electricity as the rest of the country

I have to agree with you on this.  I would support some type of relief for the old and infirm anywhere in Guyana, but not carte blanche geographic territories.  The Govt is right here.

I once had a friend named Martin. His wife Maria came to me and complained that he was not treating her right and I should I go over and talk to him.  She also needed my help because she had no hope he would listen and she was right.

I told martin his wife was displeased for whatever reason and he ought to take her out and ferret out what was bothering her. He went home that night and slapped her around good and proper for taking their business to outsiders.

Maria came to us for help the next day and my wife provided her with an apartment helped her to find a job etc and she left that ignorant lout. Today she is a PHD and a full professor and he still works as a counter clerk.

It matters not what you feel you are providing but what the people think they lack.  You are doing the same stale PPP PR to leverage political currency instead of addressing  their basic needs directly.

BTW, implanting business in the area especially when they people are not involved in the business creation is simply kicking them in the gut. Further, the timber business is a leach business. The same with mineral and other resource extraction. It never enrich local communities. It is parasitic on them.

The opposition keep feeding the residents of Linden with the propaganda that the government has to pay all their bills, while the residents continue to consume twice the amount of electricity than the coast-landers 

The GoG is correct on this.

Linden has been given preferential treatment for years. It's time that they pay, pure n simple.
