Racism will not stick in the minds of right-thinking Guyanese

Dear Editor,
As a concerned Guyanese, I wish to condemn in the strongest possible terms the crass, illegal and wicked behaviour of the combined political Opposition, the APNU+AFC and their agents, for trying to incite and excite racial disharmony, racial division, racial hate, and ethnic hostility among Guyanese.
All Guyanese should join me as I call on the Ethnic Relations Commission, the Guyana Private Sector Commission, the various workers’ unions, Civil Society, and international organizations and NGOs in condemning the Opposition’s posturings and warnings of looming political violence.
The Opposition Leader, Aubrey Norton, is infamous for leading, and then running away at the first sign of danger or resistance. He is known for his cowardice and race-baiting.
Guyanese should throw Norton’s “alternative facts” on racial harmony and divisiveness in the gutter, where it belongs. It is a shame and a disgrace that Norton cannot keep to the facts and truth about events that took place and are taking place in Mocha, Mon Repos, Georgetown, and other villages across this country.
Norton’s statements are untrue, vacuous, and without merit.
The President’s “One Guyana” Initiative is having the desired effect, and is making inroads in the way Guyanese see their development. They are witnessing the love, togetherness and unity that President Irfaan Ali preaches every day, so no amount of political bullyism and treachery would succeed in causing public and ethnic disharmony.
NO one will be concerned about the Opposition’s twisting the truth about what the Mayor said and did. No allegation of racism and discrimination will stick in the minds of right-thinking Guyanese.

Sincerely,
Arnold Sanasie
