Dear Editor, .
First they came for the Communist, and I did not speak out because I was not a communist. Then they came for the Social Democrats, and I did not speak out because I was not a Social Democrat. Then they came for the Trade Unionist, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.

Racial discrimination is like a wildfire in a dry forest. Those who stay quiet when others ignite such flames may soon be targeted by the very ones to whom their silence give approval to.
The story of the Rwanda genocide , the genocide of the Jewish people ,and African Slavery must never be forgotten by decent humans. It should be one of those things in life, that we must commit to see never reoccur on the face of the earth.
Everyone has the right to be involved in the politics of promoting a government of their choice to run the affairs of the nation that they are citizens of . However, when that promotion takes the tone of putting people of different ethnicities against each other over policies, it must be condemned by all decent citizens. The consequences of not doing so can result in those who do not speak out against this racism being bitten by the very scorpion.
Guyanese must remember that in the 1960s when politicians introduced race politics, both the Africans and the East Indians suffered casualties. It is therefore selfish for any politician who want to represent this nation to take it back to those dark days . Why place innocent people on an alter of sacrifice to achieve personal gain? Those that do so are no better than hyenas, and must be condemned by all for pushing this devil’s agenda.
The history of Guyana shows the it was developed by the hard work done by a people of six different races. For the descendants of any one of those people to claim total ownership of this country and exclude the others is a wicked act of greed and covetousness. Guyana belongs to all Guyanese.
They that operate in such greed will never be satisfied. They start now by going after those of a different race, but soon they will go after those of different religious beliefs, those less fortunate, and the list will go on, until they get to those who did not stand against their racism.
