DE Bluetoother was at de Convention centre fuh de launch o’ de “International Year for People of African Descent”. If yuh see people.
All de seats full up. De centre ain’t had space. Plenty people had to sit downstairs and in other comfortable areas. Even there space
was hard fuh get. Dem had to look at big screen TV fuh see what was going on in de upstairs. One brother, when he see de big crowd
and no seat upstairs, seh it difficult fuh convene at de Convention centre. De nice ushers convene he downstairs. Good thing dem was
females. He feel good.
Upstairs was dancing and singing and speeches and greetings. Not only was de Guyanese brothers and sisters of African descent
present, but Guyanese of all descent. Another “brother”, who is not of African descent, seh he ain’t white suh de year is fuh he and
people like he too. Who could argue. He enjoy heself. He even get up and dance when de drummers did drumming and greeting others in
Rasta lingo. “Hail up” he keep sehing while sitting down.
Is almost everybody tek de opportunity fuh dress up in African wear, even de brother who keep sehing “hail up”. Some buy, some rent
and some borrow de nice nice outfits. Some didn’t even get a good fit, like de “hail up” man, but them didn’t mind. Some even walk
slow slow just fuh mek sure that everybody else see dem fashion. It was just another opportunity fuh “gear up”.
Uncle Corbin and de other two blind mice didn’t come. Somebody seh dem didn’t had outfits. Even by not showing up, Uncle Corbin and
he few “squadies”, look more “stupidee”.
Nobody ain’t bother with he and he boycott call. De people boycott he boycott! Dem turn up in large numbers. What Uncle Corbin forget
is that “Boycott” days done; he don’t play cricket no more! Dem other boys seh Uncle Corbin gon call a “girlcott” next time fuh see
if that gon wuk. Uncle Freddie was missing though. De Bluetoother did expecting he since he claim he ashamed to be Indian and trying
fuh act like he gat African in he. Apparently he hear that de “brothers” don’t deal with “kanta”. He now more shame. Just like Uncle
Corbin. Hmmm!
