Whataboutism is the practice of responding to an issue, accusation, or difficult question by raising a different issue. This practice is prevalent in Guyana especially among die hard supporters of our politicians. In a world where politicians are elected to serve the people, here in Guyana it seems like it is the people who serve these politicians.
It is in this country where after a VICE News investigation a prominent politician was accused of corrupt practices such as bribery involving the Chinese. Has anyone seen Su? There was little outcry for an investigation into these allegations. Instead, it was a hot topic for a week or two and those who are guilty of whataboutism ignored, or condemned and tried to discredit VICE News because they refuse, are dishonest, or scared to seek the truth.
