where are you getting your information from?

Thanks for the correction....and information...you seem to have a lot of insights into the operations of the inner circle of the ruling PNC government...

Perhaps you can explain why he is listed as a “University of Guyana, Business Management Faculty Member” 

And he is also an expert on land acquisition, reparations and redistributive justice, eh?

Philips needs to realize, and accept the fact that Guyana has many different races...

 ummm . . . why exactly do i need to explain anything about Eric Philips?

i don’t know the fellow . . . NEVER had a conversation with him, on line or otherwise

he preceeded me at Queens College where he was a ‘legend’ and knew my older brother

Stanley Ming is his best buddy from school days . . . go ask him

after losing your original argument on this thread in spectacular fashion, you and Stormborn have succeeded in turning this conversation into a referendum on Eric Philips

clap clap clap

Eric is the “intellectual author” behind this movement.

apropos what, sir?

you should show your blacks brethren, who you went from a 300 sq ft home to a prison like mansion to a successful business in US. They can do the same. 

You better see if that mansion back home is built on the land they are claiming. 

Not mansion bhai, it comfortable. Naah transported property was owned by long time wealthy folks, they had their own lightning plants, cars..etc. Never thought i will become the owner, guess it's my luck.

Don't knock the black brethren, lots are progressive folks. Ayuh like stereotype too much.

@VishMahabir

Yuh BOSSES in ROAR led by toupee man advocate openly for Indo rights. Ah neva see yuh complain about  dem.

Nothing wrong with advocating for rights of a particular race, especially in a polarized society like Guyana where blacks and indians squabble over resources and compete for "ahwe own".

I am for the rights of Indians, as long as their "rights" do not trample on my rights as a black man. Unfortunately some of  them (see some of yuh indian frens here) believe in subjugating black people and classifying us as savages. Well, them days over.

Now run along and check out Ravi Dev at his "partisan best" in some of he articles.

I dug up from the net some 1800's files on British Guiana, there were no mention by the plantation owners, calling African "Savages". That's the narrative of  some historians.

True !!!  I have a problem when folks try to paint a different picture. There are interesting tales after emancipation, on some plantation workers stopped their wife from working, they became the bread winner for their families.

Vish, please show where Indians demand or lay conditions for their living in Guyana or any part of this world in respective of other races. 

Why is it that Indos and Afros can live in harmony, until Afros start demanding ownership and blaming others for their failure, and do you expect Indians to stay quiet? 

Indians have migrated to all part of this world and built successful family lives without protesting, unlike Blacks who always blame someone else for their downfall. 

In Guyana, Indians get blame for Afro poor livelihood. The blacks protest, loot and burned Indians home and business. 

In US and Canada, the white gets blame for keeping blacks down. The blacks protest, loot and burn business. 

Vish, don’t you see a issue here. 

I dont want to distract from this thread...but...

I am not concerned about if and what “conditions” Indians demanded for living in multi-cultural societies in which they live. On the contrary, from what I know about Guyana, two things seems true:

A. I believe that Indians find themselves in situations of their own creation, uncomfortable as they may be. PPP supporters dont want to admit this. The PPP, following the experience of 28 years of dictatorial and authoritarian rule under Burnham should have urgently retrofitted Guyana’s institutions and set the foundations for a transformative democracy. Instead, greed, corruption, and a belief that their Indo built-in majority would guarantee perpetual rule and lordism over all of Guyana. Added to this, the fact that the country is deeply divided, and lack of visionary leaders (except Rodney), the country has steadily decline, whether we look at the data from Transparency Index, Corruption, US Drug Control reports, foreign diplomacy correspondences, etc. THis has resulted in a dysfunctional culture in Guyana where today, bribery and corruption seems normal....and anything the coalition does to correct this situation will require a cultural transformation, or what Storm and AntiBanta referred to as a “paradigm shift”.   

B. From all indications, Indians are passive, not known for radical ideology (communism and socialism for Japan was theory, not shown in their praxis). I have family members who told me they used to walk around in Guyana with Che Guevara t-shirts, but knew nothing about communism. My point is that, yes, (this might be stereotypical) Indos are not known to be aggressive and demanding because they tend to avoid uncomfortable situation and invest their energy in creating wealth and adding value to their work. Their ability (or inability) to make demands like Afros may be seen as weakness. And yes, they also have to take necessary means to defend themselves. Same for Afros and Amerindians. I was always told by my parents that respect can only come with behaving in a certain to guarantees respect. So for all the excesses the coalition is engaged in today, I am appalled by the fact that Indos are making demands and calling a spade a spade. When I did, Ronan said I was preaching violence against a democratically elected government. Bottom line is: the leaders of all of Guyana have to work together to make the country a better one compared to when my parents lived there....and the political system must be perceived as such.

This is why I am raising questions here as to the issue raised at this forum.

Are Guyanese bold enough to charter a new course for the younger generation, one where race and racial divisions are placed on the back burner.?

From where I am sitting, it will be difficult. 

Thanks for the reply Vish.

That's their perception and responsible for their own actions, i try be be courteous to everyone here, don't take that as condoning their actions. My reference to "Savages" is to debunked what Ravi Dev written in an article.

Iguana,

I dont have a problem with people advocating for their rights, promoting their self-interests, preserving their culture, etc....and I do agree with your statements above...including the chest-thumping bravado comment about “them days done”. I hope everyone feels that way in your backwater country called Guyana.

But, why all the hyperactive emotionalism about raising questions about a race-based plan, steeped in, as far as we can ascertain, a person’s subjective feelings about “what awe deserve”, and fraught with danger when implemented and based on dubious claims....Like Phillips “bill of Rights”, should the six races of Guyana create their own Bill of Rights and proceed to carve out their own ethnic enclaves? 

...if Amerindians and Indos make similar claims and fall in the same category, they should be roundly condemned.... 

How long have you seen me here to know that I have not complained about the racism on both sides of the killing field? 

As a “dougla” I believe I can see things differently....not jaundice-like...and the more I learn about Guyana and its people the more pessimistic I have become.

Deeply disappointed in you bro...thought you were one of the more level-headed person on this board.....seems like you too circling the ethnic wagon...looking for blood...with swords drawn...

Vish, the last paragraph with that important question if Guyanese are bold enough to charter a new course for the younger generation is important. 

Afros and Indos have adopted a tit for tat policy which is at the heart of the problem.

I want to see a united Guyana free of racial divide where every Guyanese is treated equally and fairly. Despite what we may think or say, Eric has opened up or initiated a discussion and if we are true to ourselves and believe in what we preach, then Issues affecting Afros must be addressed. Perhaps not in a radical approach but a more balanced and realistic one. 

I have stated time and time again that Guyana can start with a Truth Commission like they did in South Africa. 

The next election will be very divisive and it may appear that the PPP is poised for a victory and that is what makes most Afros uneasy since they feel that they will not be equal partners in future economic progress especially with oil money looming on the horizon. 

I recently spoke with a top brass AFC member and he is disappointed that the AFC PNC failed to capitalize on the best opportunity and goodwill shown to unite Guyana. Granger must take full responsibility for failed leadership.

 90 percent of black people do not want to go back to living in any commune run by sainted elders. .

90% of the village blacks just like 90% of the villagers as a whole don't want their lives to be run by political hacks appointed by some political party and have no input.  It is perfectly plausible, knowing Guyana, that corrupt NDC officials were involved in theft of lands.  It is also perfectly plausible, that, lacking a structure to represent their interests, villagers weren't able to do this.

And THIS is what ethnic tensions in GY revolve around.  Not some mumbo jumbo constitution enshrining the rights of ethnic elites to ride rough shod over the population at large.

If you want "sainted elders" just try and NDC where Jagdeo and Harmon select people who are only answerable to them, and damn what the local people think of this.  Burnham put this in and destroyed the village governance system and GY is yet to recover from this travesty.  This is why almost no one voted in the LGE!  They don't see how it is relevant to their lives.

And yes Indian/PPP racism exists but everyone gets silenced up when it is discussed but will scream loudly when PNC abuse occurs.  There is a narrative that Indians are the only victims of racism and now that an African narrative occurs suddenly you scream.  Well what do you expect!

And using such language there was blatant racism directed towards blacks during the Jagdeo/Ramotar era, but if one mentions this then you are called a racist.  Interesting that those  who so stigmatize blacks aren't.

I have heard all sorts of horror stories about black people seeking private sector employment where those responsible for hiring were Indians.  NO ONE wants to speak about this and how this contributes to the ethnic animosity.

Amerindians were enslaved and their land taken whole scale.

The Dutch TRADED with the Amerindians and used them as slave catchers.  Their attempts to enslave the Amerindians didn't work, as the Amerindians knew the terrain and how to escape. The Dutch saw more profited in trade, and enslaving Africans who couldn't escape because the Amerindians caught them, returned them and were PAID for their efforts. FACT!

Find another narrative but equating the treatment of Amerindians with enslaved Africans is silly. What decimated the Amerindians was disease.  The coastal lands were mangrove swamps and I doubt that many, other than the lowly Warau, who fled there escaping more aggressive groups like the Caribs, were displaced.

You can argue as to who did the displacing.  The rest of Guyana remained unused until the late 19thC when it became useful for mining and timber.  Slavery had long ended by then.

And is Eric Phillips asking for any lands in the interior?
