I agree: Land for working-class Afros
Hello friends, hello critics. My simple ageing mind wishes to simplify the advice implicit in my lead caption – non tribalist, observation, analysis, decision, hopefully a national objective decision regarding which political group you prefer in government beyond 2019.
A little about my own mid-seventies “political” mind and mindset these days. I think it was after Forbes Burnham’s historical 1972 CARIFESTA that I became a card-bearing PNC member in the Kitty/Golden Arrow Group. Prominent Kitty comrades were my “mentors” as I did believe that Kabaka Odo Forbes would empower Afro-Guyanese to transition from “small man to real man”. (Mind you, grandmother would take me with her to Bourda Green and Parade Ground to hear both Forbes and Cheddi since the mid-fifties!)
By 1980 I was catapulted, agreeably, into playing significant professional/political roles in PNC election activity between ’80 and ’92. For various reasons I ended my activist member/supporter PNC persona by 1997 when “Kit” Nascimento initiated a “controversy” over remarks made by Cheddi Jagan.
