Dear Editor,
Kindly consider publishing my letter in response to Dr. David Hinds’ letter of December 7 titled “Freddie Kissoon got the story wrong.”
Afrocentric Dr. David Hinds would be more appreciated by his readers if he drops the talk as if walking through a maze and be more straight forward in labelling the PPP/C government separately from an Indian government.
In Dr. David Hinds’ ‘100 Days of Political Revenge’ (Dec 2, 20 – Guyana’s Caribbean Politics) and ‘Freddie Kissoon Got the story wrong’ in the KN of Dec 2020, Dr. Hinds outlines the wrongs that the PPP government is allegedly doing to the African race and at the same time labeling the PPP/C government as an Indian party doing good for Indians only.
1. Dr. Hinds claimed the PPP/C Party won on March 2, 20 as “Good triumphing over Evil” i.e. over the PNC. But the PNC party / Government was always plagued with crime, no economic development, shutting down the sugar industry and bankrupting the economy. The PPP victory is indeed Good Conquering Evil.
2. Dr. Hinds again claimed the PPP government dancing in his Maize Talk meaning the Indian race in Guyana and the White race in America govern by God dictum as being ordained to rule over the inferior race as in the case in Guyana Indians superior to Africans and White People superior to Native Indians.
3. Europeans (White People) were indeed wrong to take land (America) from the Native Indians, but didn’t the Europeans industrialized and develop America that benefited Dr. Hinds with a job and gave heaven to many Guyanese.
Historically the African PNC Government bankrupted Guyana from which many Guyanese fled. The African Man claimed he has first rights even over the Native Guyanese Amerindians demonstrating the African Man’s legal superiority in Guyana.
4. Dr. David Hinds continues his maize talk that the PPP/C has ideological ethnic superiority and does political ethnic cleansing.
In fact, Dr. Hinds credits “The Desmond Hoyte-led PNC introducing the term ‘ethnic cleansing” to describe the government’s action.”. This means in simple African language the PPP/C government is an Indian Government cleansing Africans from the political arena and the government bureaucracy reducing the African middle class.
I am happy to know in Guyana that there is now a large African Middle Class and I suppose that the government institutions that are 95 % Africans must be able to make changes to make Guyana a productive nation.
5. Subsidy was always an economic and cultural habit that Africans benefited more from than the GUYSUCO sugar producing Indians. Africans are over employed in government institutions; even the military is a welfare institution that should be downsized.
CONCLUSIONS.
Let’s make no mistakes Dr. Hinds the first political ethnic cleansing sin was done by African Forbes “Jesus” Burnham who behaved as if he was God that destroyed Guyana and the Indian Race. Hopefully, the white man’s technology and oil will save Guyana.
Permanent solutions – Partitions Guyana.
Sir Walter Raleigh did not ‘ discover ‘ Guyana for Africans.
