PREJUDGING black slave descendants as automatically wrong has now become confirmed as the norm within Guyana, or so it seems. The same has always been applied to Indo-Guyanese and many other targets by similar prejudgment, regardless. Where else can we find such abundant notoriety, especially in the 21st century, as in Guyana? 

For boldness to become so self-evident by a “foolishness” to selectively rush to label black people as readymade Judas-traitors suggest there may be more behind it. Like no credible PNC admission of election rigging in Guyana there can be no exceptionally clearer evidence and reasons why no official confession, repentance and atonement would be forthcoming for the PNC’s many original sins.
They believe they did no wrong and with sincere requests for apology and reconciliation rejected, it completes the circuit for whatever is new.
Examine Mr. Paul Jacobs’ letter in the KN of 6-15-14 titled, ‘The Robert Gates factor’ in which the apparently eminently displeased objects to the people’s witness, Mr. Robert Allan Gates, at the Rodney Commission of Inquiry (COI) being allowed unsupervised emancipation to facilitate his closure of the brutal murder of another black man who was beloved worldwide. That explanation, which accommodated Mr. Gates’s presence with his cathartic testimony as given by the COI’s lawyer, Mr. Glenn Hanoman, was found inconsequential and dismissed in Mr. Jacobs’ own words as “factious, not even fit for fools like me.”
Why would any civilised mindset imply that a remorseful black former policeman and credible witness should instead bare his soul in chains and handcuffs, encircled by security guards with guns and bullets can only be reflective of an unfathomable debilitating norm, which continues to keep the black mind shackled by what they have always been accustomed to, but not exclusively owned.
How more will the PNC rejoice when such a shameful alternative spectacle occurs, but is hastily targeted to focus and divert attention away from the dignified courtroom closure of Dr. Rodney’s murder? Blaming such a Jacobean implied alternative as the best approved method to facilitate the witness in cahoots with an allegedly insensitive PPP/C Government, can be no more deliberate design to chisel away at Rodney’s legacy by diversionary set up.
Even the academic theoretical excellence which has not placed the WPA’s celebrated Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine’s into “inebriated luxurious elevated occupancy” as the authentic Indian representative and the future PNC Prime Minister; could not anymore become eclipsed by his own personal sacrifices and astuteness; or could it?
He hired his jailer, Mr. Gates, as his personal bodyguard when he was in custody at the police station by paying five times more than the original salary which the policeman earned monthly. Now with Dr. Rodney’s stuffed head mounted in display above the WPA’s altar-mirror in a house of ill repute due to his alleged heirs pursuit, in pauperised prominence, of a political perverse prostitution of poor people’s plight, with pitiful promises of pointless possibilities, provisionally on payment, whatever can be so positive next to expect, please? If it is to experience Sophia’s finest complete services, in all “equality,” can someone, anyone, kindly ask: “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, what’s behind this free for all? Whatever may be the painful enslaved mentality, which has not found adequate relief for the last three centuries since slavery’s abolition in 1838, cannot amicably be resolved by apologies in Guyana, or be expected to benefit by acquiring a new and improved, lesser tarnished reputation by constantly destroying or degrading anything, including Guyanese remorse, in constant enraged fury.
How much is Linden more blessed or worse today than before PNC rule with PNC people still in charge? Which investors are rushing at the behest of the powerless rabble rousers to make life in Linden better? Demanding economic relief in shared governance by race entitlement through a new forever interdependency, especially from those on whom all violent savagery is sporadically targeted, cannot be realistic.
Even voluntary acquiescence in mass self-destruction visiting assured extinction onto a unique cultural presence, by their ethnic cleansing, cannot ever become justified under any circumstances, especially so in today’s Guyana’s democracy.

What underlies Mr. Jacobs underlying motives or ire to implicitly dismiss Dr. Walter Rodney’s gifted life’s worth, as lesser Guyanese, when he is definitely no evil Pan Africanist black man: In comparison to Mr. Gates felony, could be an affirmation of certain confidence in complete black self-sufficiency, or is it the usual claim by historical entitlements? The answer is best summarised by Mayor Hamilton Green’s old time values, which famously reminded us in the 21st century that’s “It’s all about the money,” in his own words.
Why Mr. Jacobs trashes the candid explosive testimony from the black former policeman cum bodyguard and double agent is certainly because he would rather Mr. Gates’ damaging eyewitness evidence be swiftly dismissed as insignificant, in spite of the bodyguard’s torn tormenting loyalties of conscience in June 1980 (when Dr. Rodney was killed). Instead Mr. Jacobs would rather the tormented bodyguard be judged by “yesterday’s 2013” fresh additional currency of ill fortunes, still awaiting judgment by court appeal, since the black man, as Mr. Jacobs reminds us, “was convicted and sentenced to 48 months’ imprisonment by a Magistrate in August, 2013, for obtaining G$6,000,000 by false pretence from twelve persons.”
So what? The black man, a former policeman, must get his misfortunes again flung into his face for our benefit? The WPA in 2010 disclosed Dr Rodney was stockpiling weapons and they were kicked upstairs by the PNC to the master bedroom to become Guyana’s future Prime Minister!
The PNC killed Rodney, will not apologise, and still has a democratic right to be elected! How conveniently can anyone loudly trumpet anti-ethnic sentiments among Guyanese to destroy their self-worth and aspirations in buttressing well known “stereotypes”?
Afterwards the entire black brigadier battalion can about turn and lavish themselves within Guyana’s democratic freedom to surreptitiously fuel and divert black people’s rage into the usual repetitious forever misery of self-destructive violence, as ignited by the AFC in Linden and Agricola.
Was Mr. Jacob’s letter a contrived, clever or most sincere endorsement of the black human aspirations for their betterment? Pray do tell whether or not “It’s all about the money” as
old people with wisdom remind Guyana so that our local Tom Cruise’s screaming affirmation to Cuba Gooding “I like black people” remains priority least it be forgotten: And no apologies. But freedom in a democracy permits the choice of association to everyone by race, religion, gender, etc, with whomever they respect and admire by all the criteria being well known. Pity Mr. Barrington Braithwaite remains enslaved in more than one way, destroying everything in his prejudices and cannot realise his original sins have already divided the baby, whilst he constantly hacks the limbs and attempts to sanctimoniously perform mass lobotomy for total victory. Repent, reborn, or go to hell.
