well doc the racial thing is an old story, even the massacre thing...but it's troubling that race relations seem to be getting no better...
also i was reading about the guyanese drug lord roger khan...some are claiming he is tied to the 'phantom squad'...described as an extra-judicial death squad responsible for more than 200 deaths in guyana...supposedly the indians defend him claiming the police (mostly afro-guyanese) don't protect them who are the majority of the business class

The only reason for this is that there must be a plan to return to colonial and slavery.
The mechanism thai is ever present in the control of any society that has an unelected head is simply called <span style="font-weight: bold">fuedalism</span>
Fuedalism is literally control through the instigation and maintainnence of fued or fights. To achieve this they have to sew animosity between the groups and have them busy fightingeach other,while the rulers are busy taking advantage of both of them. This is unversla and is the source of the continued anatgonism in theworld.]
The caribbean countries including Jamaica were subjected to this mechanism of management of the population. In these countries the division was between races. This was achieved by teaching the indentured Indians that were imported to replace the newly freed black slaves, that blacks were lazy and untrustworthy. As a result theindians treated them as such, while the blacks inturn resents the treatment the indians metes out ot them. This over time has excalated, with the enactment of laws inthese countries that prevented blacks fromk doing business,and the indians took advantage of thsii inequity tio become the business sector over time. This has eventually become intrenched,and the indians believeing that they are better,and treat the blacks as such. Now Jamaica and Guyana have different subn developements of this problem. In that because inJamaica ther wazs intermarriages between the Indians and blacks,over theyears, the devision is mostly disappear over time. So they recreated this devision with the use of politicakl parties.
In Guyana this division was further exasterbated by the civil war that was promoted by the CIA in th eearky 60's. In tha case they supported the African class against the Ibndian class that was fighting fro independence. They put inplace black politicians who more or less staffed the buracracxy with mostly blacks. The police force wa salso mistly blacks,and the with the old divisions, the racism continues. this racoism will not be changed unless the truth is taught tio the people. But who is going to do that? And greater problem yet is, will those who supported this for so many centuries just sit by and let their mechanism bwecome nutralized? I guess they won'tsince it will lead to resentment of those who peerpretuate this harm fopr so long. So the result is that they will fight to keep this from happenning.
