Black nationalism was an ideological response to white supremacy

Dear Editor,

Mr Clement J Rohee, Minister of Home Affairs, in a letter captioned “Mr Ogunseye’s approach in rejecting compromise and realpolitik as reflected in the day-to-day struggle for a better Guyana leaves the political arena open to the worst elements in our midst” (08.03.21) is in content, incredible. Let me say from the onset that I do not seek to defend Mr Ogunseye’s positions neither do I seek to defend his politics. However, the opinions contained in Mr Clement Rohee’s letter are extremely insensitive to the historical struggles of African Guyanese and Africans in the Diaspora.
