Guyana Govt Sabotage Int’l Year Of African People!
ATTENTION:
Incidentally, Guyanese of African descent are not AFRICANS (per se). So let this be clearly spelled out for those who use this description for political reasons.
Secondly, Afro-Guyanese is a term coined during the quest in the 1960's and subsequently, for people of African descent, or Blacks, to understand their place, and reality as an ethnic group, who invariably were relegated to the lowest round of the economic ladder in most countries where they are people of African descent. The USA is a case in point.
So what the Jagdeo administration seem to be doing is not new to us Blacks or Guyanese of African descent. It may serve the Jagdeo administration's interest currently to do so. But with time the pendulum will surely shift.
We have suffered as a people for decades, in fact, centuries. But we have eventually prevailed.
Finally, no one can speak for Blacks anywhere, but Blacks themselves. Many have tried to label us, to categorize us, to remake our history, and to make us feel we are inferior. But our collective history and record proves them all wrong. We understand their fears, envy, and inferiority of us as a people.
They are compelled to, by virtue of their actions in the past towards us. And they probably feel that there will come a time when they will pay dearly for those wicked things they did to us as a people.
Black people everywhere MUST stand up for their collective rights, demand respect, Civil and Human Rights like everybody else does. Until we do so collectively, those that strive to divide us will succeed.
Derryck.
