After 20 yrs of corruption, tokenism, cronyism and marginalization people are fed up. The PPP is the chief promoter of racism in Guyana. Their platform is based on playing indos against afros to win elections and then use this victory for the benefit of the PPP elite. They run the country as as private club and even those people who voted for them are ignored. Greed and corruption has reached new heights. Every day a new scandal is uncovered. People are seeing on a daily basis what is going on. Afros have been largely ignored except for the tossing of a few crumbs. You see the ethnicity of the people running the country may have changed but there is an errie resemblance of the mindset/politics of the regime they replaced. Guyana is multi ethnic society and you cannot ignore minorites just because you can use the fear of the blackman to stay in office.
Guyana has never had a leader that has demonstrated inclusiveness. No effort has been made to make people feel that their voices are being heard. The PPP has had 20 years to do this yet we see the same old failed policies of the past. It is all about "abee on tap" and who gives a rats ass about black people. So why are the PPP postitues surprised that people are protesting? You reap what you sow. The chickens are coming home to roost.
