I have no doubt the new govt will be fair and decent. On the policy front we will have to give it 3 years to see how it goes.

Lots of Indos in the diaspora are hard core PPP

I experienced the same thing a few days ago in a discussion with someone I respect, in whose opinion I have have had great confidence but who I cannot shake from the notion of Burnham was a devil to the APNU-AFC is no different. I have to sit down and think through the arguments because I guess I will meet more of them including some in the family.

You still plan on going to Guyan and cultivate your 300 acres of cassava?

No malice intended.

The PPP conducted their government in the manner of Indian regional politic.

Quagmire-a feeling of being clothe in filth. No LGE is a stark reality of their duttiness. The mess of Georgetown dey quite happy with.

And many East Indians are quite at home wid all that corruption and filth.

Bihar and UP never departed from them.

Is like dem saying the Blackman is lazy. 

Jagdeo and Ramotar have declared Corentyne East Indians for what they really are-slaves to prophets of Indian ness. 

Let me tell you what I going to do.

I will start removing the prophets that is holding the East Indians in bondage.

If you care to, read:

Leh dem know it is going to happen.

All the rejects from the PPP are now in the PNC fold.  I doubt where they can match the PPP's performance of 23 years.  look at all the developments can took place. 

My dear Django, you have a point of fact there but as a counter point, they do not vote in Guyana and they did not punish under Jagdeo, so they are irrelevant to the equation.

Those who feel the pain did the vote.

I have three times that and no it will not be planted with cassava or rice. I do have access to about 40 acres in the interior that has been in my mothers family for eons and there is where I plan to start doing something.

3 years is a good benchmark but many will be looking at the first 100 day promise also.

I for one misjudged Granger.  When I saw him driving his wife to church last sunday, I am happy to say I believe he is a decent man and not what Jagdeo made him out to be with that silly statement from Jagdeo "Granger is Danger"

The last President that drove themselves were the Jagans, both of them and I really like this humbleness from Granger.

Brian,i agreed with you,don't forget we in the diaspora

still have some influence.

I told one of my best older friend who have some

reservation with President Granger,to watch some

videos of him you will see the decency of the man.

Circumstance makes a person. I do not care who he is as a man yesterday. I care that the circumstances of having to prove that he can be a better leader than the PPP will create in him naturally a caring and detailed person.

Especially then one who live in Obama country for over 30 years and drawing Obama pension but want to instruct how Guyana must run its elections.

I had to tell one of my uncle the other day - every thing he has in life - car, house, land is because of America - NOT THE BLASTED PPP.

It is easy to intellectualize marginalization without the fear of being a victim. Many in the diaspora considered the PPP crooked, did not agree with what they were doing and may even be vehemently critical of their policies. Then the PPP lost. The dynamics has changed. Most of these people could call a friend or the friend of a friend who know how the system functions and would be apprised on way to facilitate something in their interest. 

These connections are gone as the lines are disconnected and even these people are left adrift and will seriously, and for the first time contemplate ethnic marginalization in its essence. It is not merely the deliberate racist actions of neglect of black people but the natural gramscian infiltration of cultural viewpoints that conditions norms.

Many of these people are dislocated in a world without strings and where they actually have to practice what the preached, inclusion. It is no longer a theoretical idea that African feared and resented Indian dominance but real and present apprehensions they may experience it themselves.

Storm

You have a point..i did not know anyone in the PPP...but I know people in the old PNC..so, naturally, I feel more connected

This comes naturally to us humans

Dem soon convert after deh see plenty progress

After 23 years of the PPP telling us how Guyana has moved forward it turns out that the bulk of the Indian community had to rely on food parcels and money laundering to keep them fed and watered. If ever there was a damning indictment of the PPP reign this surely must be it.And then these ppl wanted further continuation of that process?

I detest this sacred victimization bullshit. Amerinds are not quarrelling that they have lost the majority of what was theirs because the Brits and the Dutch considered the place tierra null and planted their flags.

They are not calling themselves victims for being the first slaves of these colonials in their own homeworld.

Then Africans came as slaves. From the latter part of the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century they were the were the ones who at the end of a whip created a habitable environment that formally introduced a new world from the Native world.

Then indians came. I am sure they suffered greatly but they were not slaves! They did not lose their cultural world!

In our modern environment, no group subsidize any other. We do not have charity cases in the Indian community who feed black people en mass. Indians plant or are in dry goods and other entrepreneurial efforts to make money. It is in economic exchange that the interaction of one from the other takes place not in subsidizes. These phrases makes for truly simplistic apprehensions of who we are and what we are and where we want to be. All of us are victims in someway or another. All of us bled. Our blood is the same color.

So your point is that Afro Guyanese and other non PPP supporters should bow down and thank these PPP supporters who support the bulk of the people.

You do say "bulk of the people", and focus on PPP supporters.
