Dear Editor
FREDDIE Kissoon has been doing it for years, even though he is irrelevant to the African community. His last 100 daily columns have been anti-black and anti-APNU+AFC. His latest racism is in the words, “Singh considers herself an African Guyanese sympathetic to the PNC. She is in fact related to Lincoln Lewis, a fact Lewis has not brought out and a fact that the press should ask him and Singh about. Singh does not want the PPP in power.”
How vile and immoral.
First we had Ravi Dev.
Then for quite a while we had Prem Misir.
Then Vishnu Bisram . Then Ryhaan Shah.
Then the Indo-Caribbean Diaspora Network (ICDN).
Then Vassan Ramracha.

And now the latest Rakesh Rampertab, who in his recent article stated “Rodney most likely would have rejected the coalition.”

The deep racism and daily psychological subliminal and direct mental war against African-Guyanese are surpassed only by the anti-blackness that is endemic in Guyana. Just prior to the 2011 elections, the Mulattoes had their going with Bishop Juan Edghill abusing, using the Christian religion that is practised by so many Africans in Guyana. He stated at the People’s Progressive Party/Civic rally at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara one Sunday, “I believe if Jesus Christ, who I serve, was in Guyana and he had to vote, he would have voted for the PPP/C, because Jesus loves justice.” At this time he was the Chairman of the Ethnic Relations Commission and a PPP candidate.

It is clear that Edghill was smoking something stronger than a cigarette and continues to this day as he is now threatening public servants. Most recently, we heard some noise from the invisible Brigadier (rtd) Mark Phillips, Joseph Hamilton, Hugh Todd, Gillian Burton-Persaud, Mae Thomas and Bishop Juan Edghill, who wrote in the Guyana Chronicle and not the Guyana Times which does not publish any of my letters, “We regret the unethical, mischievous and down-right race hate and race-baiting that has [sic] been prevalent on social media, emanating from all sides of the political, cultural and ethnic divides. This is unacceptable and no one should be selective in their condemnation.’

This came 100 days late when they realised that African-Guyanese would react reciprocally to threats against them. Editors, this election has shown the true colours of many in Guyana. Many have shown their anti-blackness, including many mulattoes who have been masquerading and Mixed, a classification they believe makes them better or lighter in colour. As I have stated before, Guyana has changed forever because of the 2020 elections.

Respectfully
Eric Phillips
