well whose to blame for the disaster?

Blackman and cooliman alike were not ready for independence.  they didnt know the first thing about it resulting from many many years of slavery.

brainwashing is hard to undo.

ready for independence is not a question. 

there ought to be a prime directive...non-interfereance.  it is not the privilidge of any other to decide who is ready or not for damm anythng

maybe their own children when it comes to protection of the young based on prior experience of life. certainly no one else

In Guyana , I really do not believe we were ready back in '66 :

we were revolutionary , in step with the Caribbean ...

Hindsight is 20 / 20 vision ...
[/quote] Guyana never achieved their indedendence in 66 , they got 28 years of opression .
Independence was achieved in 92 with the election of the right honourable Dr cheddie Jagan and the PPP  winning the first free and fair elections since64 .

all other groups have risen to the rafters while Afrians...especially ordinary african males... have become and endangered species regionally!

[/quote] Answer is simple... you do not hold your leaders accountable, as long that he is of your political party or of the same race, viz a viz another race . All that matters is that he is one a we .
When good leaders do come along , like michael manley and bishop of grenada  you conspire with the former slavemasters to eliminate them .
