Yrs ago, I applied for a job at a major medical hospital, I was the only woman of color, and u know what, that hospital hired me, I worked there for years, in Guyana they r brazen, u cannot take the case to the devil to try, u can’t even speak against the govenment there. Don’t be sure that the US don’t have race issues, we all know that exits, but it’s done in a much clever way, not all whites have issues with people of color.

And people of color are also the same towards each other, I have seen born Guyanese reporting on other Guyanese, Guyanese of the same color at that, so 4getit, it’s the same.

Darn any documents can be reproduced in Guyana, persons had years of city taxes paid on a land, although I had the genuine receipts, the crookery was found out, when the same person with same handwriting wrote receipts for water bills.

Explain to these bloggers more, some in here are not born Guyanese, so they talk junk.

You fell off the bandwagon a long time ago…how could you interpret my comment as saying that racism does not exist in Guyana?

You said, ” was never happy to leave Guyana for a country that’s not a part of me. However, with all of the above ongoing issues, incorporated with RACE, I had no choice in doing the inevitable and settling down in an environment without ongoing “issues” to encounter on a daily basis.”

I was commenting on the fact that you made it seemed that RACE issues do not exist in the USA, that’s why you fled there.

Perhaps you are the one who needs to “please wake up and smell a more strong coffee[probably ginger flavored coffee as it'll be stronger]“

By the way, do you think if this army and police force were talking orders from Hoyte/Burnham a bunch of people calling themselves Indian freedom fighters would be able to exist for so long? Would they have been able to terrorize a dominantly African village for so many years as happened to the mainly Indian Annandale?

I find it hard to believe that President Jagdeo’s tinkering with the top of the army and police can reverse 28 years of self defeating path dependence that was placed in motion by LFS Burnham.

I do not for one moment believe that the army and police are devoid of decent people who are willing and capable of doing their jobs professionally. But I would be stretching it far if I say these key institutions have not been compromised many years ago. By the way, what was Mr. Hoyte alluding to when he invoked the “kith and kin” sentiments?

Finally, extra judicial killings of young black males – which reached a peak (perhaps a local peak and not a global one) during the Hoyte Administration – must be avoided at all costs. And those in this current Administration who resorted to extra judicial means to rebuff the people who called themselves African freedom fighters must be brought to justice.
