We must let the C word remain. Without it bottomless traitor koolie will not understand what these people experience.

So Prashad what exactly is the difference between the two words you have in your post.the one beginingwith C and the one K? Different uniforms?

K is a reminder that Guyana has anti-koolie hate.

I have a picture of a GNI porter with his massa suitcases as he proudly sits among tombstones. I should find it and post it for you. The person was obviously proud of his porter's position. Now we hearing being a porter is demeaning. What derass?

Sure, that is why you capitulated to the PNC by bending over and letting them have their way.

A porter by any other name is not a porter.

Gill, that girl has lots of gold, maybe her father was a shopkeeper.

Not necessarily. That is a studio picture. In those days the photo studios used to lend their customers jewelry, fancy dress, suit & tie, shine shoes, etc. to pose for their pictures. A few jills/cents extra for that.

For a while there, I thought that this is a picture of Warria before leaving Guyana for Canada.

It surprises me to know that in this day and age, Indians still want to be called COOLIE and even allow non Indians to address them as COOLIE. We should take a page from the Blackman's book and make it a crime to be called the"C" word as with the "N" word, they have progressed and that word is stuck in time only in the history books. The word Coolie was created by the WHITE man to degrade the Indians in that time and place, I can see if you are a laborer or porter be it so, but to substitute those words with the "C" word. is like using the "F" word as a noun to call someone. Indians be proud of our accomplishments and what we are today, and please don't allow the WHITE MASSA to label us.

It must take very little to surprise you. The word coolie was not created by any white man. There are massive differences between the N word and coolie. But it probably suits your self-indulgent melodrama to fancy that they are similar. Your analogy between coolie and the F word is absolutely ridiculous.

Proud coolie EH.

What gave me away?

More Indian immigrants:

179 years ago and generations of our ancestors are still cooking the same and living in poverty. 

However, they seems happy and content of the life they were grown to know and cherish. 

So much similarity from then and now.

Millions of people still living in condition that are the same or  worse than when our parents and grandparents leave the shores of India.

Indians should pelt Ghanda Eggs on the scumbag Moses. Luckily, Indos have class and will save the Ghanda eggs for another day.

That would be inappropriate and disrespectful to the PM and to the event that represents us.

Brother Gil,

Thanks for your comments. It is still very important to highlight the racism that we face since our foreparts arrived in Guyana. It just cannot be ignored.

Its also important to highlight the racism that Indians themselves engage in against other Guyanese. Don't scream that racism against Indians be addressed when you refuse to address the racism that Indians themselves engage in.

Yes. He was reciting a mantra hoping to be born as an Indian next birth.

Cain you making fun of the iron koolie and his acting ability. You play an African American porter and let the people here be the judges.

If you were aware I would never fit as an African American, it would be akin you playing a Swede.

That woman must be having regrets in the afterlife, the mistake of having been kin to one who sold out to the PNC.

Looks like there's a shortage of male Indo dancers in Guyana. Not surprising, since our own mattie are the first to call them antiman. Another disincentive: No money in kathak dancing. Dem Indian bai want plenty money dese days.

Warrior, why are you allowing Drugs to chastise you like this? You have to live up to the name Warrior.
