Undisputable scientific fact that needs to change our thinking about race in Guyana

DEAR EDITOR,

Neither any of the ten powerful and most scared paragraphs of the preamble, nor Article 13 of the Constitution of Guyana, which sets out our sustained aspirations, measurements and processes relative to how we manage the affairs of Guyana to adaptable and expansive perfection, encourages or supports the current and sustained man-made bitterness, mistrust in each other, confusion and downright disgraceful thinking of disuniting us based upon race, in an effort to gain political advantage at the next general elections in Guyana.
Those individuals who unashamedly and continuously articulate this thinking in a sustained manner know themselves as unpatriotic, in that they are aware they are violating the culture, perspectives, purpose, reasons and spirit of our constitution.
We conveniently use modern technology (various internet streams, microwave ovens, cell phones and many other consumer durables) to our advantage and enjoy the outcomes they provide, but for us to become one people, one nation and one destiny, let us for just 2 hours pay attention to this new factual technological information, considering our blood (time machine) and genetics, of whom we are.
My brothers and sisters, and especially the young, reach inward to your inner teacher for guidance, let your conscience be your guide, do not let your thinking be clouded by race bating, irrespective if you are advised or told not to listen to other factual ideas, because if you elect to so do, you will be brain-washed.
The paragraphs below say it all.
“You and I, in fact everyone all over the world, we’re all literally African under the skin; brothers and sisters separated by a mere 2.000 generations.
Old-fashioned concepts of race are not only socially divisive, but also scientifically wrong.
It’s only when we’ve fully taken this onboard, that we can say with any conviction that the journey our ancestors launched all those years ago, is complete.” Spencer Wells – 2002 Spencer Wells – The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey (2002) https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Man-Ge…PBS https://www.youtube.com/user/PBS Visit: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandinte…
Just relax and PLEASE pay attention to this documentary on any of the above-mentioned websites, to help us bury many of our learned prejudices, just as humans for centuries once believed the earth was flat.
It took improved technology to dispel that thinking, so it is time we change our thinking of this non-ideal, polarised, multi-component, adversarial, and racial attitude, to reconcile and cooperate for common concessions, confidences, afford abilities, good, interests, necessities, actionable and satisfactions, under the umbrella of natural justice, which are enshrined in structures associated with fairness and civility.
It will require after viewing this monumental documentary, and irrespective of our spirituality (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and others) we somehow, from some unknown place, find a way within our conscience, to unite, in order to ensure we all enjoy in a sustainable manner, the spoils from Guyana becoming a manufacturing power house – within the green state development strategy- for any consumer durable known to man, given, we have all the raw materials, knowledge or skill-sets and diverse experiences to ensure this vision could be realized.
As a side consideration, once one obtain a visa to reside in the USA, Canada or the UK, and from the moment one leaves Cheddi Jagan International Airport to journey to one of the above mentioned countries, a certain never before experienced mental metamorphosis is completed in one’s mind, that this real and astonishingly rapid transformation essentially allows one to readily comply with the existing laws of that country.
Brothers and sisters, Guyana belongs to all of us, so let us treat the new information from “the journey man” as a visa to a new Guyana with the depth and width of efficient business and societal transformational structures within our exiting and soon to be improved Constitution, to improve our standard of living, given, our never before harvesting of new revenues from our petroleum reserves.
Further, some of us have expert understanding of many industries and have documented evidence of previously demonstrated capacities in the developed countries, to successfully address any challenges that need efficient and profitable solutions.
