how come the blacks didnt do the work?
It's not that Black people weren't doing the work, but many of them were smart enough to realize that just going right back to the plantations wasn't a great idea. The Indians didn't work for free, but they worked for less than the Black freedmen and women would have worked for, plus many of the whites were averse to legitimately hiring people who had been seen as inhuman slaves just a short while before.
Don't discount the power of racism. The Indian/Black split only became pronounced much later, and solidified with politics.

They are much darker though wouldn't you say? I never seen one and thought Chinese. They look like any other native people form central america or south america, but more dark skinned. But i agree if what you are tryign to say is most natives in this hemisphere look very asian. (like american indians for example)
EDIT: ehhh on second thought I see where you coming from. Not much darker...but still not Chinese imo.
What a load of shyt. Don't believe this foolishness.

Why would the blacks want to go back and work for their slave masters?
Indentured servants was slavery under a different name.
The Native Guyanese that I know in real life are much lighter. I don't know if they were mixed with white or what.

oh okay so the blacks were freed from slavery, the british needed some one to work the fields and the blacks told em to fukk off, and hence enter the indians?

I notice you are obsessed with light skin, dark skin, and who is mixed. I'm not dissing you, it's just weird to me. You must have had a lot of issues growing up with this topic. You are starting to remind me of principality of zero.
The internet has really opened up my eyes, because even though I heard these things, it wasn't an issue like it is on here. Maybe it's because I grew up in NYC when being black was seen as being proud of who you were, and separating someone because of their skin tone was not really heard of, unless it was backwards people fresh from the islands who wasn't about black unity, or people fresh from the rural south who were the same.
Man, people have some issues.

The dude asked me a question about them being darker and I replied to it.
Don't quote me again.

It's not just this time, I constantly see you turn topics into that issue or you only respond when that issue comes up when it comes to race. Like I stated it's not me disrespectful, just bringing it to your attention so you don't go down that psycho road that others have.

So you're trying to say he's demonic?
The British weren't angels, but I gotta give them props for what they did do right. West Indians are proud of their literacy rates. At least we used ot be...not so sure about these days. My grandmother talks about the Queen like a heroBe having me like
sometimes.

I be seeing this too as well.
It's not all bad I guess. I got dual citizenship and a European(UK) passport out the deal
It's a beautiful site, too see 100% black owned businesses.
Especially, when your family owns a lot of them.

Fukk your corny debates

And about Trini, i always look at them like our sister island...but they have a much better economy due to oil i believe so you dont see as much strife imo. Its a joke though, all the coolie people live on the island of Trinidad, and the blacks come from Tobago. To this day....every Trini i've met fits that mold lol.
My Bermudian mom reps that British crown and brags about how she speaks "the Queen's English" even though she doesn't care much for white Americans.
While I could and will never intellectually and morally condone racism of any kind....
....I must admit sometimes when I hear white people complaining about this my gut-reaction is
. Especially when it's shyt like "they look at me funny" or "they aren't polite to us at all" . Then I have to catch myself and turn on the
while they go on.

I don't condone it either, but if it gives them a "taste" of the subtle / blatant racism, that "my people" and I, experience on a constant basis, then sohh be it.
Funny thing is, many people believe in whiteness (white privilege). Most of my professors in college actually touched upon this topic. One of them even wrote his dissertation about this.

Str8 up GT moms and pops, tho i was the first of the clan born here (guess u can call me an anchor baby)
Folks have rightly pointed to the political b.s. but have left out a few key points. Simply you have to follow the money. Like alot of other carrib nations the reason for their phuckitude has to do with loans borrowed from the IMF. Back in the 60's when GT first got independence and Burnham was in charge he was also down with (i think its) Manley or the other 1 in Ja, the other cat whose name I forget in Trini, and the head of Haiti amoungst others. There was heavy talk then about unifying the Carrib on sum USofWI deal. This was heavily frowned upon by the west and as per the norm charges of socialism/communism, red scare tactics ensued. The rest of the carib were more prone to suffer as +75% of their economies were western tourist based. GT primary source of income was bauxite and other ore exporting. Burnham and the others were seriously antiIMF as they would lose control over their econs. It diddnt work tho as a result of which a majority of the WI are in debt to the IMF where 50% and up of gdp has to go back to loan repayment.
How it affected the people was Bernham like most leader are prone to do put in alot of folks which were his folks in power. As a result of which it was mostly black faces eating meanwhile indians werent doing as well. As time passed and more indian leadership came to fro the roles were reversed with in essence indians pointing to blacks as the cause of Guyanas problems while doing the same thing as was their predessors.
