Home Letters We will remember… We will not forget. The far-reaching consequences of Green’s...
Dear Editor,
The frank expressions of Hamilton Green recently were not a slip of the tongue or a lapse in memory by the elder. Far from it, rather it is a cold-blooded regurgitation of an age-old dogma of his party, that is, rig any election once you have the opportunity. It is a statement that sends a strong reminder to all of us of the way we were as a country and how far we’ve come.
Rigging is a diabolical, evil-centred system that has the blood of innocent people splashed all over it. We are all familiar with the channa bombings, and the fires and killings that surrounded election time in Guyana. Rigging caused the deaths of those two guys on the Corentyne when they held on to the boxes to get the votes counted. Burnham had them shot stone cold for exposing the satanic ritual of rigging, this is the system Hamilton Green boldly supports.
Guyana in the past was a tribalised country deeply rooted in racism and poverty, run by a band of brigands. This is the Guyana Hamilton Green revelled in with that “Pan tap” theory. Note his words and I quote, “The history of this country suggests that the only people who deserve to be “pan tap” or on top, are those whose ancestors suffered for centuries without a cent.” So, here we have it, Green is promulgating a return of Black PNC Supremacy.
However, I am happy to embarrass this old angry man, that rigging is dead, never to return. You see, Hammie may be old and incapable of change, but he is by no means demented, because you may recall another fossil, Eusi Kwayanna, making similar remarks. He posited that Guyana should be partitioned, that is, one section for Blacks and another for Indians. That tenet was carried out in part, when sugar was taxed to prop up the flagging Afro-centric bauxite industry, and if I may add, that tribalistic talk is still held high in PNC circles to this day, that one sector should be the sole supplier of wealth to society while the other the user of that wealth.
But the strange result of a self-destructive PNC is that while they were busy antagonising the Indians, they were also alienating themselves from the Afro-Guyanese. The PNC increased (I am talking about the top brass of the party) by five times over while at the same time relegating “Kith and Kin” into poverty. This was a classic reenactment of the book Animal Farm. Here, the PNC mistakenly thought that Blacks were so stupid that they would continue to give them their support even though they were making fools out of them. Well, they got a rude awakening at the last LGE, when a great number of Black supporters crossed the floor and joined hands with the PPP/C.
The point I am making is, that Guyana has long gone past that era of us and them, Indian and Black “Pan Tap” theory of the PNC, we are now on the homestretch in a One Guyana united and free society. Thanks be to Jah and the PPP/C who have emancipated us from the morass. We have been set free of the PNC and the shackles of slavery they have imposed on us. We have been rescued and we will forever be!
Respectfully,
Neil Adams
