PLEASE allow me to respond to a letter written by Sherwood Lowe titled” “I fully support all ACDA said at BV” and published on April 24, 2011. 
It is Mr. Lowe’s right to have, and express, opinions even if these are personally motivated, racist, faulty and unsubstantiated. One gets the impression that he is indeed bitter, and like many of his ilk, there is a desire to incite chaos. In doing this, if the likes of Lowe are successful, the ruling PPP party will be made to look bad. The mere fact that he can pen such a letter is self debunking.
He is now claiming that “(t)he message was clear, pragmatic and motivating. Nothing (he) heard suggested violence. At the same time, nothing (he) heard suggested shyness.”

This statement/analysis of his is exactly where the problem is. It seems contrary to Sherwood Lowe, that the majority of innocent Guyanese were and are wrong to ‘read’ this ‘ACDA’s riot act’ as otherwise. Is it that all and sundry are foolish? The import is quite clear. The ACDAs of Guyana seem bent on not being democratic and graceful nation-building losers. So, unrest and being ill-at-ease seem the resort.

So, it is not that “attempts are being made to cast ACDA’s message as racially divisive and violence provoking.”

So, there is no attempt (on Afro-Guyanese) and “ploy to keep (them) pliable and submissive”. The fact that Afro-Guyanese have embraced the PPP irritates the likes of Lowe. How is it that the Jagdeo-led administration has been able to develop a noticeable constituency in Linden?

What Lowe’s cancerous, clandestine, and evil coterie is doing, is seeking to persuade happy and contented Afro-Guyanese to feel a sense of shame, for aligning themselves with the PPP.

It seems there is an effort to plant guilt in these fair-minded Guyanese. So, now, bitterness is even further and deeper ensconced in him, and Lowe seems unable to handle it. 

Lowe is making a number of calls, and the first one up is that “Afro-Guyanese must keep at least three things in mind the call by many among (them) for shared governance (which) reflects a full recognition and acceptance that other races in Guyana also have a legitimate claim to this country.  It is a call that therefore respects the mutual existence and development of all.”

Well this is exactly what the PPP has been involved in. Can Lowe say when and how the PNCR ever sought to do this? Was there a time in Guyana (except now) when the Amerindians were so celebrated and invested in?

And he should go take a look at the public service, the police force and the GDF, and tell me wherein lies his puerile analysis and hasty judgement?
Secondly, when he makes mention of the “numerical advantage of Indo-Guyanese in the population (and thus it) is not due to any brilliance of Cheddi Jagan or his party; it is mostly due to the greater number of ships that crossed the Atlantic from 1838 with Indian indentured labourers”, and he used this to negate the longevity and success of the PPP. He is self-destructing. Inherent in this assessment is that the PPP is a party of inclusiveness, nation building, and cohesion.
Lowe would be well-advised to rethink his judgement and maybe seek to understand the reason behind individual and collective failures in Guyana.
