BEING SAD

Wished I was a creative writer so that I can transfer my sadness to you the reader, through words. 

But I am not prolific enough.

Social media in inundated with commentaries, Guyanese of all races, men and women. 

On every topic.

All of it very serious and interesting, some comedic.

There has been many commentaries on the progress of Black Guyanese, as the commentators puts it.

Overwhelmed with sadness, as it pervaded my inner being, after listening to David Hinds, Vincent Alexander, Nigel Hughes and Olive Sampson. What was said had no distortions or untruths. However, I gathered the panelists were not keen on solutions. 

The question begged to be asked, "Is it expected of the Indians to discipline Bharrat Jagdeo?"

If the panelist have been paying attention, since the Jagans coronate Bharrat Jagdeo, he has basically controlled the Peoples Progressive Party. He has dominated the Presidency of Sam Hinds, Donald Ramotar and Irfaan Ali. It is treasonous to pretend to be the President of Guyana. Even David Granger gave the honor to Joseph Harmon.

We've had men who are not politicians, not even opportunists, but simply lacks the will to do the right thing for the whole country. Instead, they feared a system that penalized.

Dominance by race seems to be an approval for Progressiveness.

The PPP is guilty of it, but the PNC has too. Forbes twenty eight years of it made it appeared Guyana had no Indians beyond those in his association. Then there was the APNU/AFC, at a meeting in Toronto, Indians welcome Granger and their high expectations. Granger smiled and made his speech. After elected, the administration did the worst. I look back and wondered if the thought was, "Typical Coolie Greed." 

So we appeared to be lost with only Bharrat Jagdeo as the most dominant force in the political landscape along with the crop of cronies.

No malice intended, I have followed these issues for a very long time.

Now, let  take David Hinds, he says, "only Black people muss talk bout Black people issues."

Then there is Vincent Alexander, highly theoretical on the history of Black people. Show some entrepreneurial initiative to the impoverished, they need the help, Show the way.

Mr, Nigel Hughes, has all the data for the transgressions of the State. I believe him. Coolie people can be very vindictive even to another Indian. How can there be a correction to a society, one that only acess the merits of a leadership? We have lost trust in Indian leadership and Black leadership likewise. The country needs need leadership. Perhaps, you should be a contender. But, I am concerned about the way you sound. It is wrong what the PPP is doing. Your commentary must be in a tone that is just regardless of the opponent.

Ms. Olive Sampson, Berbice and the Combined Colonies of Essequibo and Demerara have a history. British Guiana have a history. Unfortuneate, the PNC never bothered to implement history in schools. The PPP on other hand preferrs stage performances rather than building libraries stacked with books. PPP Presidents love to bump and grind on stage, they are on video doing it. Books is not their thing, but Books are a Black people thing. And Forbes, highly intelligent, did not impress the minds of our generation. We have a Guianese known for his intelligence, Ivan Van Sertima. In his novel of the 1930s, he gave us a glimpse of our history. He wrote of the coloreds mainly mulatto and creole, putagees, negroes and coolies. He painted a picture with words, prejudices of the city. Basically, coolies were treated as stray dogs, pelted with bricks as fun. I think WE GUYANESE are a hateful people. Our history demonstrates that behavior.


I PLAN TO ADD MORE from time to time.
