David Hinds, stop polarising the people along racial lines

Dear Editor,
Self-styled intellectual and executive of the Working Peoples Alliance, Dr David Hinds’ call to scrap the elections, destroy the ballot boxes, install an interim Government led by David Granger as President with the PPP man as Prime Minister and divide the Cabinet equally between the two sides is a cloaked attempt to maintain the status quo of the illegal cabal squatting in Government since the successful passing of the No-Confidence Motion in November 2018. It is a most vicious attack on the established democratic pillars enshrined in the Guyana Constitution for the electing and of the swearing-in of a President. His call has no place in a civilised society and modern-day democratic governance and must be rejected outright.
To understand this gentleman, one has to look at his inherent mindset, albeit the truth is very messy. His dedicated life’s work and activism in Afrocentrism “black power” does not allow him to think out of the box. Mr Hinds can be termed an “Afrocentric extremist” and is imprisoned as such. His world accommodates no other ethnicity, he is a downright racist and must be labelled as such. So, whatever spews from his mouth will always be promoting that dominance of his ethnic ilk. Even skewing of Guyana’s history and excusing his Afro brothers for committing heinous crimes. He has excused them for the death of his party’s founder Dr Walter Rodney, for banishing him from the Chronicle, for fraud and rigging of the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections, hence his desperate fanatical racist call for the man who lost the elections, David Granger, to remain as President. What a travesty and despicable act this intellectual advocate champions on the will of the peace-loving Guyanese people.  His adding of Dr Irfaan Ali (President-elect) as Prime Minister and an inclusive Cabinet is just a cosmetic gimmick to make it appear as if he is fair-minded when in reality, he is totally the opposite, promoting his racist ethnic underpinnings.  Granger and the PNC honouring of the Cummingsburg Accord signed with the AFC in the run-up the 2015 elections prescribing forty per cent stake for the latter and the major roles for Prime Minister Moses Nagamottoo are well-known and documented. All consumed by the rampant same old racist PNC.
In his world, there is only place for people of his ethnic origin, no accommodation for any other ethnicity. He sees everything through the eyes of race and will never see beyond that, not in this lifetime, he is restrained within that corrupt mindset but earns handsomely in a White-dominated environment. What a shame! Would he ever risk his dirty interactions in that country? The answer is a resounding no! The stakes are too high and the fear of being investigated is much too great. He professes to be an intellectual but unleashes his Afrocentric extremist agenda on the nation of his birth.
Mr Hinds, Guyanese are intelligent people and know fully where you stand. You are part and parcel of the elite mastermind grouping that has unleashed the present calamity on Guyanese people by Granger’s APNU/AFC (WPA included) rigging cabal aided by the co-conspirators in the GECOM. Unashamedly you now present yourself as an intellectual outsider with a workable solution. Which right-thinking Guyanese would buy that and take you seriously. You are defeating the very purpose you claim to represent and sadly you have proven to be an embarrassment to that undertaking. Come on Mr David Hinds, here’s an open challenge, think it over, repent for your actions, grasp this opportunity to redeem yourself, show some remorse, stop polarising the people along racial lines and accommodate lovingly all the races in Guyana as a people. Remodel your perception of people outside of your ethnic bedrock, come out of your narrow suffocating world, step out of your narrow strip and be on the decent side of history.
Support the GECOM recount of the votes cast on the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections on a live broadcast. Let the verified results be announced and the declaration made. Let the President-elect be sworn in, then and only then we can all talk in a civilised way of a new governance structure and constitutional reform laid out in Parliament for scrutiny before it becomes law. That is a workable solution right now.

Respectfully,
Parasram Persaud
