Let the Nestor woman do her thing then see who has purchasing power in Guyana

LURLENE Nestor said, “We give them (businesses) by Monday to get this notice…up, failure to have this visible notice will result in us not buying from them, we did it before and we can do it again…we talking to the big ones from Courts, Bounty, Banks DDL, fish shop, all market stall holders and vendors, all businesses on Regent Street, Water Street. We talking to every business from the largest to the smallest.’’

I have read many letters in the media that this woman has written and she is a strong and deadly advocate for Afro Guyanese and Africans the world over and could not care less for any other ethnicity.
I remember one bigshot Afro Guyanese man during the PNC reign of terror on Guyanese had a salt goods shop on Middleton St, C/ville.
He was selling some food items, which were banned by the PNC regime from Guyanese.
He was selling flour and dhal, the stuff East Indians like best.
One day some banned food items arrived at his shop and East Indians lined up to get their stuff, and despite the fact he was charging them an arm and leg they paid.
The PNC man was called ‘Rabbi’, and that day Rabbi came out from his back room and stood behind the counter and said “awww…this is how I like it. I love seeing ‘coolie’ line up to get what they want”.
Well, I thought that was a racist statement and waited for some of those Indians to come out of the shop.
I asked two East Indians if they appreciated being insulted with racist remarks for things they are paying a very high price for: They said ‘no’, but that only Rabbi had the things they need.
I told them if they can spread the word with the others in his shop to see if they can buy these banned goods from someone else, where they would not be insulted for things they are paying for, since they were not begging him for the goods.
They said they understood what I was saying.
I told them to give it about a month or two and see who will support the PNC hotshot Rabbi.
I made sure I kept an eye on the shop to see who was going and coming, and soon the PNC hotshot Rabbi was forced to close shop.
One guy told me that he thinks the Rabbi man is begging on the street in the Kitty area these days.
The bigshot PNC man was stupid not to see who was supporting his business.
I tell you guys what!
Let her do what she intends to do and see who gets hurt.
Let Lurlene Nestor go ahead and put her signs up.
PPP/C supporters, including decent Afro-Guyanese and all other ethnic groups should boycott those business places that put up those signs and come back two months after and see if they are still in business.
Let us see if those who support Nestor and her call for boycott would be able to sustain that business without Indians and other ethnic support.
You see, it is people like Lurlene Nestor who cannot see further than their noses; and I would not call her a racist, I would say she is a strong advocate for her race, to the point of forgetting the rest of the human race.
The woman just cannot help herself from being most ignorant.
