Dear Editor,
I am not surprised that numerous Guyanese have occupied your letter columns, showering praise on Barack Obama.
It is also a fact that many thought his attempt at the Presidency was just another black man trying the impossible, forgetting that nothing is impossible with Almighty God.
Obama is Almighty God’s gift to America, and all those who view the black man as just a worthless and useless occupier of space and time.
Whether the writers are indeed glad or not, Obama is the 44th President of the USA. If the entire world, including Guyana, should reflect on the changes that have taken place in a country where the black man once did not even have the right to cast his vote, much more to be President, the world would see changes.
This country needs such a change, now more than ever. Obama has preached about inclusiveness, and he has set about doing just that. Will this country ever witness such change?
Are our politicians ready for change, instead of the race politics that have consumed our nation? This is a horrendous task.
In one of the dailies, I read a letter where the writer equated Dr. Jagan with Mandela and Obama. So incensed was the writer that he did not even mention the name Martin Luther King.
For that writer’s information, America, where so many of us make a safe haven, was once a living hell for black people, and now Almighty God has once again demonstrated that it was the same ‘’Black’’ which resulted in Satan’s banishment. It’s a word that mankind should be wary of.
