Carl, unless you’ve been walking around with a bucket over your head, there is most definitely a racial divide in Guyana. I, myself have experienced this many occassions when I’ve visited the country. It’s sad but true.

I believe the government should introduce a unity day, where everyone celebrates as one regardless of what colour you are. This would definitely promote harmony.

torbo? If there is a racial divide, it is an imaginary line.
Guyanese live well with each other all the time. It is ONLY at voting time that some actions do seem ‘a divide’/ Other than that, is hunky-dory with the people.

Now torbo…tell me ‘why do you use CAPITAL LETTERS in your posts?
Do you need to shout all the time to be heard?
That is what CAPITAL LETTERS in posts mean!

Did you know that?

What the hell you guys really getting @ each other about, did anybody told you guys just how silly and childish all of this is sounding..when oh when will everybody wake up and stop the finger pointing about this party or the other………and just in case anybody forgot, emancipation (folk festival) is a “Guyanese thing”…look @ the pictures in the press and it speaks volumes and also paints a Clair picture about the people that went out there(from what I can see, it’s Clair Indians and blacks alike was out in full force)…!

Lol. These comments features are getting to be like the call in TV programmes in Guyana. There are people in Guyana so lazy that even if they were given jobs they won’t work. Send a couple of barrels and a few Western Union remittances and we here promote this behaviour. When they come to the great US of A they are shattered by its reality and will work harder in order to not go back home with nothing and swallowing their pride. Mackdog has my attention with his ice hard comments. None of the truths will simply vanish unfortunately for unenlightened bloggers here who needs to find emancipation by doing research that mackdog is talking about. Hey Mackdog don’t forget to mentioned the vanloads of Burnham thugs that had me bolting with my bicycle during Rodney’s street meetings. People in my view are enjoying more freedom in Guyana now. These cultural events and all others must be promoted no matter what the turnout but never forced.

people were told to go to the park i know because i was told lucky me i used to drive a vehicle to take people there into the park .

correction…that should be “torbo” not turbo. Sorry.

mackydog — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 22:54:48 +0000

turbo,
I think you believe this is still the 70’s and 80’s. In that error, Burnham would’ve filled all the buses Transport had, ordered all the Guystac managers and employees to a “must attend” affair at the National Park, half the police and GDF and National Service and Malitia and finally everyone who was fortunate to drive a Lada or escorted in a Datsun 280C “Limo”, compliments of his PNC Party to fill the Park even against the peoples will, and if they don’t attend, they lose the PNC party card and all the previledges they have.
Well Mr. turbo, this is the 21st century, things changed, the people of Guyana is now under democratic rule so no more bullying to show patriotism to the PNC Party in the guise of Black people’s Emancipation.
The amount of people attending today would have been the same amount (or less) that would have attended in the PNC days BECAUSE NOT MANY PEOPLE WANTED TO OBEY BURNHAM, BUT THEY HAD TO. Or did you forget ???? I just reminded you.

i think you are more stressed in america than those in Guyana….i know what’s going on there……..dont try to fool the world about yourself and lay a bad impression on the guyanese people……99% of them are favourably more comfortable than you…HAVE YOU DONE YOUR PART FOR EMANCIPATION DAY IN AMERICA? SURE NOT…TOO BUSY AT WORK TO PAY THE BILLS ETC. SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU BLABBING ABOUT.
