STOP WITH THE RACIAL DIVISIVE UNDERTONE

Jun 11, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

The current situation in Guyana has me pondering on Martin Carter’s words, “This is a dark time, my love”. My brothers and sisters do not buy into their divisive downright rhetoric. For the last five years, the Coalition has been “aiming at your dream”. I know the majority of us did not buy into their lies, that is why the PPP/C won our free and fair election by 15,416 votes.
It is time for us to stand united, now more than ever, the country is broke, we have a global pandemic, and the election has caused us to be pushed into a period which my fellow young people and I hoped was behind us. Never in my wildest of dreams, I thought I would have witnessed rigging, and then constant narrative changes by the “decent and honest”, from saying they will accept the results of the recount to now trying to nullify the entire election. An election, which was two years in the making; two years of the theatrics.
My fellow Guyanese, my Afro-Guyanese brothers and sisters, for there to be social cohesion, for Guyana to truly enjoy the good life, and progress, STOP WITH THE RACIAL DIVISIVE undertone. Guyana is made up of six races, we are a diverse melting pot, think of the best cook-up you have ever had, that is Guyana, an amazing blend of various cultures.
Please, do not buy into the instigators who are trying any possible thing to stay out of jail, and remain at the helm of power. Do not listen to the rhetoric coming from persons who are not even in Guyana but are using their social media fame to pen racially divisive statements.
We are ONE PEOPLE ONE NATION ONE DESTINY, it is time we truly unite as one, all the races and cultures must stand united!

Respectfully,
Odayson Ashby
