Django, yuh rass wicked.......

Is this the same Chevening scholarship that Charles Ramson Jr was awarded and is currently studying under?

A little better than the YLAI scholarship, but still Indos are under represented with only 2 out of 13. Most are Afros once again, 10 Afros and 1 Portuguese.  And you people still claiming that Indos are not marginalized in Guyana, even by the British?

Time to speak out on Racism towards Indos in Guyana:

Perhaps they read GNI and figure if Indos are anything as yourself..yugi..Bibi..Nehru..and a few others who hug you guys up, well why bother?

Well according to you Indians are all wealthy so why do they need scholarships?  Only those blacks, whose parents can only sell plantain chips so are dirt poor, should get them.

Druggie here is the deal. The British and the Americans saw all of those Indians heading just about everything during the PPP era so decided to give blacks a chance to catch up.

You know you all will enslave every black and toss them out of every leadership slot when your hero Jagdeo takes over again in 2020. He is presently taking lessons from the white supremacists so Indo supremacy will return then.

Not sure why you all scream. When asked why few blacks were in leadership slots Roger Luncheon said that blacks weren't qualified.

Obviously the UK and the USA think that blacks need help after 23 years of Indo supremacy.

After all the endless screams of "ahbe pan tap, black man time done, no blackman will ever be president again".  Oh how you long for those days.

As I mentioned previously, the British and Americans are on a guilt trip. They will award scholarships to Blacks out of guilt for their enslavement and maltreatment even today. I hope that the Blacks will use these opportunities wisely and uplift themselves and successive generations.  

The point I want to make is these Black awardees are not there due to merit but rather entitlement.

If your ancestors were treated they way theirs were, I am sure you would want some kind of reparation....live and let live

The reason some Afro American are left back is because of naive and dotish people like Riff and caribj. Slavery ended in 1865 in America so waht stopped anyone since then from improving their well being. No one gave me a penny or any help to sacrifice and work hard to achieve!! NO ONE!!!!!

Systematic discrimination still goes on up to today....

No one had to give you anything, you should thank all those blacks who sacrificed their lives so that you can come here and enjoy the freedom you do....

Reparation is a crutch. I wouldn't want it.  The sense of entitlement prevents the youths from striving, they know they can get awards based on their race rather than merit. It is a well accepted fact that entitlement is a impediment to success.

Many of failed to recognize this important point.

I am also hopeful that they use these opportunities wisely to uplift themselves otherwise they will end up fete, sport, win down and live only for today.

Anyone from Corriverton can confirm this:

Burnham built a housing scheme in Scottsburg exclusively for Blacks. After a few years, the place deteriorated and became a crime haven since no Indo could pass the area at night without being robbed.

Many who lived in the housing scheme were given cushy government jobs. This is an example of what DrugB is highlighting.

I want to see ALL Guyanese uplift lives and make use of great opportunities.

Skelly can also confirm this.

Some of you blind to the stuff that goes on...even today

I'll tell you about something that almost happened in the school district I live in Long Island

Our district has 4 elementary schools which is predominately white, one of them has most minorities. These schools send their students to the 3 high schools in the district. One of the high schools is predominately minorities. White parents formed a group to try and get the one elementary school with minority kids to send their kids only to the high school with minority students. They tried to change the zoning.

Of course, us minorities were not going for that....

If their ancestors suffered, why give the current blacks reparation? They did not suffer. They should thank their forefathers for enduring all the hardships in America to make their descendants happy. Their forefathers did not die to give their descendants entitlements for the rest of their generational lives. I always thank my dalit forefathers and don't expect a handout.

There are many blacks who have improved their lives, don't paint all with the same brush

You like many on GNI, yuh does tel Apple fuh Orange. Guyana is a multi culture, multi race society. Govt awards MUST be transparent, consistent and FAIR.

So Riff, you are making my point for me. I hope you are aware of the American and British Govt ability and History of using RACE, RELIGION to discriminate, divide and Rule and control. ( If you need me to explain the connection give me a halla)

You need to get out of NYC and visit places like Schenectady, NY.

Why is it that Indo Guyanese are thriving and Blacks in Schenectady continue to suffer ? 

I am very sad to see their situation, they need to uplift their lives.

Some of yuh rass could not stand up to Burnham, now want to talk smack bout black people in America...these black people had guts to fight for freedom...

What did you stand up for in Guyana????

Speak for yourself Riff. I never took shit from Burnham. I walked with Dr Rodney when it was a danger to do so.

We were free people in Guyana, we only had a few Black dictators.

BTW, Jagdeo put licks on the PNC thugs that they are crying till this day. Indos of today are not like Indos of yesterday.

Please keep in mind, blacks alone did not fight for freedom. If it were left to the blacks alone, they would still be treated as slaves. Think before you make such irresponsible statements.

The fact that you are here is a result of the fight by blacks for freedom.

Blacks may not have been alone in the fight, but they at the forefront...they shed plenty blood...you should look at the Nat Turner flick on Netflix

You are missing my point, Indos are always seeking better opportunities. Unlike some people who think that they are entitled.

Look at the multitude of filthy rich Indo Guyanese in Canada and USA.

Compare that to any other group of immigrants who progressed so quickly.
