Yesterday I looked at discrimination against African Guyanese after the PPP came to power in 1992. It started with the Jagan Government, continued when Mrs. Jagan became President. But it was under Bharrat Jagdeo that racism against African Guyanese became an unofficial policy. We must remember it began with Cheddi Jagan in 1992.
In a previous column, I wrote; “Jagan in office after 1992 saw immense touches of unfairness. There were witch-hunts, vendettas, incestuous politics, ethnic preferences that erased the positive legacy he was once associated with.”
The scale of the PPP’s witch-hunt against African-Guyanese cannot escape the label of racism. Under Dr. Jagan , the first seven of the Customs hierarchy were removed. Their names are on the top of the list below. The remaining names are not offered in order of seniority at the time of dismissal.1 Clarence Chue, Harold Bahadur (African), Loris Bankcroft, William Holder, Patrick Hyman, Douglas Linton, Iola Issacs, Walter Roberts, Rose Kirton, Lawrence Dundas, Brentnol Hickens, Christopher Mathias, Shelly Brian, Paul Prescod, Michelle Mathias, Georgiana Patrick Roberts, Steven Daniels, Hatty-Ann Scotland, Yonette Austin, Richard Prince, George Beaton, Dexter John, Watson Grey, Assaye Greenidge, Gordon Watson, Rhonda Glad, Rayanne Van Lewin, Paula Caleb, Ewart Austin, Howard Paul, Karen Bobb-Semple, Simone Herod, Fitzroy Thomas, Paula Sampson, Vanita Bovell, Keon Price, John Cameron, Julian George, Colin Moore, Dawne Benn, Gem Callender (demoted)and Jackie Payne (demoted).

The pattern of decimation at Customs and Excise was replicated at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. African Guyanese were systematically removed from that Ministry. Some of the names include long standing Foreign Service officers who served Guyana with distinction and without involvement in party. Dismissed or harassed or by-passed for promotion included the following names
Ronald Austin, Arnon Adams, John Hutson, David Hales, Jimmy Matheson, Rawle Lucas, Aubrey Norton, Cedric Grant, Paulette James, Sharon Collins, Donna Culpepper, Janice Benfield, O. McMillian, Colin Davies, Frank Goodman, and Elizabeth Kingston.
One very blatant dismissal was the then Secretary to the Treasury, Mr. Hubert Thompson. Before joining the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Thompson graduated from Jackson State University with distinction in Financial Studies. He was removed from the Ministry and transferred to the Office of the President and suffered the humiliation of having to perform the duties of approving application for use of the swimming pool at Castellani House.
The following African Guyanese took the Jagan Government to court over their sacking courts; Bridgette Hinds, (Palms); Gemme Hinds (Palms); Feubia Monfort (Palms); Dionne Jones (Palms); Christine Barlow (Palms); Brian Belgrave (Min of Human Services); Clendon Fogenay (Min of Human Services); and Denise Jones (Office of the President).
Opposition Leader Desmond Hoyte in an eight page dossier wrote; “Having studied the available abundant evidence, I cannot but conclude that the PPP regime has mounted and is executing in a systematic and ruthless way, a project harass and marginalize persons of African descent…not only were over fifty officials of African descent dismissed summarily and unlawfully but, as an act of sheer, they were denied their termination benefits… In every government ministry the same policy of ethnic cleansing has been pursued with varying degrees of intensity …”
Reacting not only to racist processes in the public service, Mr. Hoyte focused his attention to racism against African people in general. He went on to state; “The major enterprise now being accelerated in every Region (is) to evict persons of African descent from state lands…the policy entails the revocation of state leases and the denial of new leases to them…I am not talking only about large leases, but also house lots and small farmsteads…as the occupants are ousted or threatened with ouster, PPP supporters are being brought in from distant geographical locations to replace them…on the Essequibo Coast where I visited a few Sundays ago, I found many persons greatly agitated and distressed, their occupancy of state land had either been terminated or threatened …”
These statistics and names tell the tragic story of Cheddi Jagan’s politics after he became President in 1992. I have consistently polemicized in the columns that what the post-Jagan protégés became when they got power under Jagdeo, they inherited from Cheddi and Janet Jagan. The Jagan underlings that took over after 1999 when relentless protests from the PNC forced Mrs Jagan out of office, knew that what they were doing were right because they saw their leader, Dr. Jagan doing it.

The areas where the PPP failed badly to make changes were the Police force and the Army. Today , the Afros in the forces are there to propped up the PNC dictatorship and to rig the next election. But on the other hand ,Indos did not want to join the forces the requirements were too low, brutal force and ignorance, Indos put higher education as a priority.

If every Indo Guyanese family sends one son to the army, Guyana will never see an Afro dictator rigger again.

Examples are Burhnam, Hoyte and now Granger (already rigged his now leadership race at Congress place where purple shirt fired shots)

My comments was misread. 

 

 You screamed that Indians were too scared to even walk through Linden much less live there.  It was pointed out to you that 1,000 Indians live there and that an Indian was ELECTED to head a major business group. 

Quit while you are ahead.

Get this into your disgusting head. When Indos are in power they squeezed blacks just as you claim that blacks are now squeezing Indians.  Why is it that you only complain when it is Indians who suffer.  It is a widely reported fact that the majority of blacks in Guyana screamed "marginalization" during the PPP era.  They cited rampant discrimination against them especially in the private sector.

This outlines how Afro Guyanese felt during the Indo KKK (PPP) era.

If Indos wanted to work in the police and the army Afros would have been dismissed as well.  They didn't so these areas remained mainly black. Ditto for the lower ranks of the civil service.  In fact the Indo KKK used to scream that "only lazy black man" would want those types of jobs.

The inability of Luncheon to explain why almost all top positions outside of the armed forces were held by Indians has been reported.  The result being that an embarrassed Jagdeo withdrew he suit against Freddie because Freddie called him an institutional racist.

So why didn't they do so during the PPP.

Note that the PPP LOST in 2015 even though the PNC lacked the ability to rig.

Freddie for Prez.

Freddie...Freddie...Freddie

Freddie is a blackman in brown clothing,he is a PNC soup drinker.He is shouting loud to get noticed for a PNC government job this is no different than many on Gni kissing the PNC asses in hope of being rewarded with a slop can porter job.

Cain, do you believe this blackman and coolie pusser-pusser will ever stop? You can't get drama like this no where else than GNI.

Patacakes like you is why Indians are viewed as weak and cowards.  This is what Jagan taught to be, you get kicked and you whimper like a p.uss.y and hide!

Funny thing is that Freddie now daily says that APNU is just as bad as the PPP. Claimed that the coalition achieved in 3 years what it took the PPP a longer time.

I don't think that he will be a guest commentator in the Chronicle too soon.

The irony of it. Reading the Indo KKK one would think that Guyana had the best performance in CXC. Yet on its performance in English and Math was the WORST, way behind majority black islands like St Lucia and Antigua. Behind even Jamaica which was extremely distressed with its performance.  Glowing by the fact that 20 Guyanese kids did well. Not because of the schools that they attended but the massive expenditures by their parents on extra lessons.

Carib has a point here. Numbers speak for themselves. There must be a new headstart program in Math and English in Guyana. Followed with focus on Science, Mathematics and English at all levels of school with new ways of teaching these concepts. For example. That dummy series of books are good examples of breaking down these concepts so that they can be easily understood.

Blacks are still more privilege in the home land . It’s not Indians privilege that’s preventing blacks from doing better, it’s there behaviour and inability to build more intact family.

indians were not privilege to be better off. It’s earn.

How was the group that was most stigmatized during the colonial era (Amerindians were considered beasts in those days) privileged?  Those days it was all about light skin and straight hair.  The little that blacks got they had to work damn hard to get it.

But of course you are an Indo KKK so your only vision of blacks is laziness and criminality. No wonder the PPP lost in 2015.

And with all the crying and wailing and bawling over the fate of the cane cutters and other impoverished Indians I don't see evidence that Indians as a whole are all of that well off.  Especially 10 years ago when they were flocking to the islands to become domestics and gardeners.

Yes I know that your fundamental racist nature needs to conjecture the notion of the "superior" Indian, but the reality is that the Indian oligarchy is very small.  Most Indians scramble just like most blacks.
