Eric Phillips says this lady is racist

Mar 31, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
Gail Teixiera wants the Government to remove me a Chair of the Guyana Reparations Committee because I revealed an inconvenient truth about three Amerindian Nations who have already received part of the 13.8 percent of Guyana through the process of reparations from the British and Guyanese governments.
My revelation that they came to Guyana 100 to 200 years after Africans seems to have jolted her from her sweet repose of plausible deniability. Hence she also tried like Anna Benjamin’s editorial to obscure the fact that the 13.8% of Guyana granted to Amerindians was through the process of reparatory justice. This is so because Amerindians claimed the British and Dutch took their lands and therefore reparatory justice dictated that they receive lands at Independence.
Why is the truth so painful to Gail and her crew of political and racial arbitragers? Simply, Gail is one of many whom do not wants Africans to have equal rights in Guyana. So she purposefully tries to take a historical fact that three Amerindian groups came centuries after Africans to make it a race issue.
This is straight out of Jadgeo’s the old PPP game plan.  Gail, I always thought you were bright and knew the difference between race and rights. To begin with, they are spelt differently. And their meanings are very different. Reading Gail’s letter was equivalent to imagining Mike Tyson preparing for a spelling B competition.   But Gail knows what she is doing.
Witness the result of this purposeful strategy to divide the nation. Witness the words on facebook of Gail’s and Jagdeo’ followers: “Granger want a bullet in head” and “got to blow them up with a bomb when they got emancipation day”.
Shouldn’t Gail and Jagdeo resign from Parliament? The racism displayed during the last 23 years is beyond belief and unparalleled in Guyanese history. Gail, it was you and your Party that practiced racism and divided Guyana. Not me sweetheart. Gail, the truth about Guyana’s history cannot be prevented from reaching the Public.
For instance, why don’t you tell us about the 3 Papal Bulls that were decreed by the Catholic Church which created chattel slavery? Since you may not know where to find them, kindly google Dum Diversas (1452, Pope Nicholas V); Romanus Pontifex (1455, Pope Nicholas V) and Inter Caetera (1493, Pope Alexander VI)
This and many more truths will be revealed in the twenty booklets already written to correct Guyana’s history. These booklets will be released in 5’s and are each about 12 pages long. They will be sent to every village in Guyana across all 10 regions. The truth will prevail as contrary to Gail’s belief, Guyanese aren’t stupid.
In closing, I wonder why Gail and her crew have not said a single word about the 450,000 Africans who died during enslavement in Guyana? Why has she been silent on reparatory justice for the 200 years of free labour to build Guyana while enduring millions of rapes and millions of branding with hot irons.
Perhaps Gail’s silence shows the contempt and indifference to Africans in Guyana. Perhaps it is a sign of the total disrespect she and her Party have for Africans.  Witness the lies she told in Geneva when she spoke about the PPP’s treatment of Africans in Guyana. Gail, We have these records also. Gail, the race card is the only thing that keeps your party alive. Be careful what you ask for? Read your history.
Eric Phillips
