Ah... why why.... Ah hearing Bas getting support from the Indo Equality what ever organization... I did not know there was Jim Crow laws ever in TnT and I fancy myself as a part time historian.... 
coolie people real stupid yes. I feel it could only be a race issue that people wanna stick with panday, likewise pnm. PNM may not be a racist party as per say, but the people who suffer/support them most, and get nothing in return, could only be voting them because is a black man in charge.
What was the reason Kamal Mohammed was side stepped again?
Sammy, yuh right about the sufferers voting and not getting any benefits thereoff , that is very true
TODAY, but yesteryear that was ah whole different story, as for voting BC iz black man in charge, ah think yuh might be exaggerating.
my great aunt was ah carib woman from arima, as ah matter of fact, my grandmother and her whole klan was carib and spanish mixed, those ppl were as poor as they come, but loved the pmn like is ah party send from god, and rightfully so.
the pmn took these ppl away from colonial deprivation, and gave them ah sense of independence, which included, affordable housing, instead of sharing ah barrack yard with tons of ppl and 1800s amenities like latrines and ah stand pipe to take showers,
they finally had running water in their homes and no longer had to suffer the effects of livin in ah tenement, they also had ah more dignified way to earn ah livin without having to scrub white ppl floors and clean up dog sh!t after their dogs.
back then, the PMN was the ppl's party. it had chinese supporters, indian supporters (northerners that is), syrian, black, mixed, and strong carib & spanish supporters. that's BC these ppl knew what it was like tuh suffer the ills of colonialism, and the PNM delivered them from that existence.
so yuh have tuh understand why uptil now, grass roots ppl in the north and in the east west corridor despite their less than rosy economic position are still supportive of the PNM. i would like to think it's out of indebtedness rather than conscious support. i'm not condoning it, but rather stating the obvious.
it was our first party, and our parents and grand parents brought us up in that environment tuh love the PNM, and God forbid if we ever decide tuh diss the programm and bad talk the PNM? that was never tolerated, and had to be done in their absence, back then, that was on ah level as disrespecting divinity.
i will agree that in earlier times indian ppl were severely disrespected and scorned, not only by blacks, but french creoles, mix race ppl, some chinese and in some instance whites, but this was also a two way street, indians also showed disdain for other ethnic groups, particularly africans.,
believe it or not sammy, this was designed by the british tuh keep the masses from forming an alliance against them, so they divided the masses with heavy propaganda concerning each other. they did it in south africa, uganda, in india before it was separated into other 3 countries, guyana, and indo china.
i believe if we were governed by the yanks, africans and indians would have ah better more amicable relationship in TNT! these former bastard colonial masters made mayhem amongst many differant ethnic groups where ever they were. just look @ israel.
as sad as it maybe sammy, i think it will take ah few hundred yrs for this venom to leave our system, the shyte has deep roots compounded by british colonial intelligence
