I find a strange paradox in the writings of many advocates in our print media.
There is the constant call for an end to marginalisation, discrimination, unemployment, etc, etc., as ‘is claimed’ being practised by this Government against Blacks in Guyana. I say ‘is claimed’ because when hard evidence is asked for, some zombies come up with exceptions rather than what predominates.

Additionally, there are several recommendations to solve the ethno/political problems in Guyana, the primary being shared governance. Again, the zombies, except from naming a concept, have not detailed a model to show Guyanese how workable that concept is.

Yet these same zombies who see a ready solution to Guyana’s problems fail to recommend a solution to self-imposed mental imprisonment within the Black collective. Open calls have been made by myself, Mr Skinner and Mr Mason that the Black collective must ditch the ever-present, destructive yoke of three-centuries-ago slavery and promote initiatives to make Black people self-respecting. Some have a penchant for blaming everybody else but ourselves for our plight. And our pseudo-intellectuals steer clear of trying to influence a change in the status quo. Perhaps if the Black collective improves, these zombies would have little to write and gripe about.

I thank Messrs Skinner and Mason for coming on board in the call for our people to go to the soil. It is where our unemployed can develop self-respect and self-worth by earning an honest living. Too many of our young people are becoming criminals, going for instant money. This must stop.
But our bright friends overseas might well disagree.
