Wenn people talk truth, dem racists. This is the same here in Guyana. In any event, the best message is the truth whether it's pretty or not. You learn the most from the hard truth messages. "Nuff" "Carib" racists on this board cannot handle it.

Actually, in fairness, there is much less racism than there is racial insecurity than pure racism, especially among Indians. In fairness, there is a bit more outright racism among Afros which was on display during 1964-1992. I can tell you, there were Indian who felt the PNC having a chance now is not bad things, but in the end "feeding coolies to dogs" did not go down well. You never heard Indian talk like that about Afros, their greatest mistrust in the PNC-Military relationship. The greatest fear in Indians lies here, not with or against the average Afros. Indians want a working relationship with our Afros bros, but is hard if they want to exterminate you. As datt man Caribj said, Afros want to extract revenge pun coolies. Only Afros talk like that.

I don't know who to believe this Ron Paul guy seems to have written several letters against blacks in the past. Yet this man in the video says Ron Paul is not racist.
Could this be an Obama trick. Obama has a history of using people of color.

Ron Paul's preachings would not work for the American voter at large. His liberatarian inclinations would be more suited for the Democratic party but his less government inclinations are are conflict. However, he speaks his mind and doesn't seem to worry about how it is received like the other candidates. If he were to stick to his proclamations, I would vote for him for president.

Because Indos have been exacting revenge on Afros since 1992.
And sledge bigotted remarks have been shared out by Indos about Afros and Amerindians, Afros against Indos and Amerindians, and no doubt by Amerindians agaisnt both.
Dont come hear pretending all is innocent with Indians. I have heard their anti black remarkls numerous times and you have bene one who ha sbeen guilty of this.

Sledge people like you use the "lazy Afro" stereotype to condemn many to low level positions. This is what feeds the rage of some who treat you as you imagine all Afros do.
Since 1992 its Indo tyrants like you who have oppressed blacks and then you act shocked at their rage towards you. I am willing to bet that mnay in that APNU Youth Group, who seem to be quite militant, are educated black people, and not the goons who you imagine tham to be.
Your behavior towards Afros mirrors in levels of oppression that Burnham meted out to Indos.

Sledge you imply that ALL blacks are lazy. You see you all PPP Indians then use this to victimize blacks, even UG graduates and then became amazed when they tell you they are tired of "collie" rule...if indeed that was said.

And sledge this is what black hating racists like you have been doing to blacks since 1992. OK if you admit that this is revenge for what blacks did to you all, especially after 1973....but revenge breeds further revenge....nobody benefits in the long run.
As to the period from 1961/64. Well the brigades of PPP supporters (Indians) who harrassed blacks in 1961 with screams of putting them back in slavery ,etc...out of glee that "ah be pan tap" after a 1961 victory....unwittinfgly putting blacks to exact revenge a year later...and then 1964 when BOTH blacks and Indians slaughtered each other.

Me live hey, you dont so wah you talking bout. Me deal everyday with Afros and Indos and you talking sheer lies and the views of the FF sympathizers. As for Afro school kids, not sure where you get that, I know many Indi parents who also complain about some teachers attitudes, both Indo and Afro teachers. They have bad people in every profesion and the affect everyone equally. It's natt a race ting bai. Not every disagreement of lil "fight" between Indo and Afro is to do with race.

She voted PPP in 1961 because she admired Jagan in 1953. We can only wonder who she voted for in 1964 having been subjected to such treatment.

Yes keep on denying the facts as you seek to portray blacks as the only racists in Guyana. Several incidents in a Berbice school were related right here on GNI some time ago. Blatant bigotry against black teenagers. Then of course there was that incident in the UG dorm in Berbice where a black student was being framed.
Sledge bigotry comes both from Afros and Indos and Afros and Indos both suffer as a result. Your attempt to paint Indos as these saints suffering at the hands of savage Afros doesnt impress.

The PPP has no interest in any shared governance. They want to do what they want and to force APNU and the AFC to rubber stamop them. When they dont get that they cry non cooperation. And hide behind the notion of the "por Indo being harrassed by these savage black goons".
After people like you slammed Buxtonians by calling them savages and jeopardizing their ability to sustain their livelihoods. Honest people tried to get help in getting the bandits out...to discover that the police were in league with these same people, betraying their attempts. And Jagdeo was more interested in false arrests and harrassing innocent people and breaking up their farms and other property, rather than dealing with the guilty.
You know what Buxton got compensation for the damage that the PPP and the police force did to those people.
And given that Africans didnt vote PPP this time, and didnt last time, I dont think they will in 2016 unless there is a huge change in attitude and people like you start treating them the way that you wish to be treated.
The PPP has no interest in working with the oppoistion. They are trying to create an environment of instability by refsuing to recognize that they no longer control parliament, and that the two opposition parties have a right to discuss and develop a joint position to ensure that the PPP, which arrogantly ignored them since 1992, is forced to cooperate with them in 2012.
Both Nagamootoo and Roopnarine have been called all sorts of names by the majority of Indians. Usually accusations of being traitors who sell out to blacks.
Indeed Roopnarine is more favorably viewed by blacks (I guess you didnt see all those pics of excited Africans avidly listening to him).
Sorry its bigotry by large sections of Indians towards Indians who want to be fair and inclusive is what is noteworthy. Dont think we dont hear the racist comments made by certain PPP officials.

Criminals moved into Buxton. Arriving with high powered weapons. People like Eusi and David Hinds and other Buxtonians were quite vocal about this.
Honest Buxtonians tried to get help from the police to get them out. The bandist then threatened those who attempt to have them removed...indixcating that the police had tipped them off. Some of these were threatened and others forced out of the village with no help from the govt to protect them.
Racists like you then stereotyped the ENTIRE village to the point where Buxtonians couldnt even find jobs or sustain a livelihood.

Almost the entire village of Buxton are PNC supporters so when you stereotype PNC supporters this is the trouble that you get into. This is why Jagsdeo did NOTHING to help rid honest Buxtonians of the scourge of banditry, so he could use the bandits to malign the PNC and AfroGuyanese. You join with him too.
Because ordinary Buxtonians who just wanted to live in peace...and were amized at hiow the rest of Guyana threw them to thugs with guns and then blamed them for not evicting thme from the village...then they faced harrasssment at the hands of the police. So when you say "they deserved it" its ordinary Buxtonians to whom you refer.
If Granger went in to some strong Indo area he would have gotten the ssme reception. Indeed many Indo AFC supporters in Berbice reported acts of intimidation against them by the PPP...so quite this "Indo innocent routine".

Heyy, let's get this straight, I never attacked the man Mr Ramsaroop. Infact I think he is courageous to be a street fighter against the PPP and their excesses. Under the PNC he would have had no teeth left by now and his home would have been fire bombed. This is the difference between the PPP and PNC. Just ask the widow and kids of Dr WR.

I'm sure the ordinary Buxtonian is innocent and a victim of the gangs. But dont run from the fact, they were a PNC arm and, being mostly PNC, i'm sure the people turned a blind eye. They should be grateful for the PPP liquidation initiative and stop crying over it. However, the PPP were shouted down and had to terminate their meeting. I don't care what you say, it's a reflection of that community and their sentiments as there are no gangs present now.
Also, let's clarify, my reference to "get what they deserve" referred to the gangs not the average Buxtonian. It's unfortunate that some innocents got caught up.

As a young person living in Guyana, it is getting tiresome to listen to Caribj and Sledgehammer carrying on like this.
It is the same thing I hear every where I go, "coolie this, blackman that".
No one race is greater than the other, both have brilliant minds and both have stupid people.
The problem is we try to lock everybody into PPP or PNC and deal very harshly with free thinkers.
For 47 years we have all suffered one way or the other despite who the government of the day was and some would have also benefited during that period.
We need to look outside of the box to determine the successes of persons during these eras as in many cases they may not have a single thing to do with party favours or support. I know of many persons who struggled, took risks and got rich all legitimately, they had no help or contact with the government and they made it.
The boycott call by the YCT, though misguided, has valuable lessons for all of us. We need to stop spending money on things that are purely decorative in nature and try to purchase things that are necessary or will in turn create more money.
With this mindset we will look less to the government to supply all our needs and would become self sufficient individually or as a cooperative.
From there we can then use our collective economic powers to force the political powers to yield to our demands to use our taxes wisely and for the benefit of all.
I believe that when a man is struggling to make ends meet and is in survival mode he can rarely look much less think outside of the box. If this important need is satisfied he will be able to free his mind and look towards other avenues to uplift himself and country.

Roopnarine fought against a PNC dictatorship headed by Burnham. He just successfully fought against a PPP dictatorship headed by Jagdeo. Both regimes were characterized by victimization and violence against those who they considered a threat.
It took an act of courage for an Indo Guyanese to join AfroGuyanese against an Indian dictatorship.

And people like you victimized them by calling them savages, goons, criminals, laughed when the police harrassed them while they played football with the known criminals and didnt life a finger to help the courageous Buxtonians who loudly spoke out and were run out of their village as a result.
So spare me your racist nonsense.
And for that most Buxtonians voted PNC because the PPP is yet to furnish evidence that senior officials within the PNC had anything to do with these gangs.

Actually, boycott, strike, etc is very aceptable as form of protest and I do admire those who take that path. This IS the right of anyone. Sugar workers strike during the PNC era so what's good for the goose, good for the gander. By my guest, strike, boycott, etc. It's an effective form of protest and no one could fault you.
