DEAR Editor,
Isn’t life ironic? The fuss now being created by the unsavoury description of certain countries, of which many of your readers may well suspect could include Guyana, is nothing new. I well remember hearing in the late 1950s, African students describing B.G. (now Guyana) fellow students as being the equivalent of “lesser mortals”, when compared with Black people born in Africa, because the Guianese chaps were descended from slaves.
In the 1990s, I met a married couple who seemed to cling with strong determination to their African roots. If they only knew what Africans thought of us “wannabes”. Leave it out. Nobody wants to be a Guyanese. Why should we want to be somebody else? Have some pride. Or, as our grandparents were fond of saying, “Behave yourselves”.
Geralda D.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
