Let us examine 2011 elections. Where is the evidence that black people like Jagdeo so much? Even in 2006 when the PNC vote dropped, because many blacks saw Corbin as a Jagdeo stooge the votes went over to the AFC.
You just cannot find any evidence that blacks love Jagdeo. I think that you let 3 or 4 people shaking his hand fool you, but then Burnham had loads of pictures of Indians staring lovingly into his eyes too. This is how people react when a powerful person interacts with them.
Burnham knew if the Indians were not around, the blacks would have overthrown him. He depended on the affluent Indians to provide jobs for the blacks. He could not employ all of them in the civil service.
