Dear Editor,
This is my final reply to Mr. Vishnu Bisram. I point to his letter; “Nothing wrong when people write on race” in the Kaieteur News of March 4. I was hesitant when I wrote my first letter ever to the press. I was hesitant because I knew from reading Mr. Bisram’s letters over the long years, his reply would not be kind and well-mannered. You can tell a person by the things they write on. Mr. Bisram is an unapologetic racist and you can tell by his reply to me. He simply wrote to say he saw nothing wrong about writing on race all the time and made the shocking statement that everything in Guyana is about race. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Harris, the editor but how could he have read that danger and allowed it to be published?
Everything in Guyana is not about race. All Guyanese are concerned about crime which affects every race. All Guyanese are concerned about terrible use of the roadways. Accidents claim the lives of all race groups. All Guyanese are concerned about suicide. All Guyanese are concerned about Venezuela’s aggression. I repeat what I complained about in my first letter. Your newspaper must have guidelines and one of it should be rejection of racial incitement. You are allowing Mr. Bisram too much space to preach the worst kind of race politics. I am at a loss to understand how Mr. Harris allows Bisram to do this. What Mr. Bisram writes will never see the light of day in any West Indian newspaper here in New York. Mr. Bisram is using the Kaieteur News for his own agenda
I have long moved from Guyana as I stated in my very first letter that was ever written to a newspaper. I believe the race problem will have to go away if Guyana is to develop. Guyana’s main problem is race. We have to start seeing Guyana as a country for Guyanese. Mr. Bisram will not contribute to that. If you read all his letters, they are all about the greatness of Guyanese Indians and the sins of Black Guyanese. I will make sure this is my last reply to Mr. Bisram. I wish my country well but I will fear for it if the race divisions keep going on. Your paper, Mr. Harris should not allow Mr. Bisram to continue using it for an agenda that has no good in it
