Whoa whoa whoa, hold on Guyana ain't all black breh. Imma need more stats.
Black country in South America
I thought Guyana was in the Caribbean for some reason lol
Right. I just remember back in the early early 2000s a lot of new York rappers and reggae artists used used to shout out the Caribbean and would include the Guyanese. That's why I thought it was in the Carribean.It's considered so and celebrated as such. Huge Guyanese presence in places like Brooklyn & parts of Canada
black country..
.. the country is half indian![]()
Guyana has gold and oilOne of the poorest countries in the world with little to no infrastructure and massively underdeveloped - 60% of the country is forested.
No real natural resources that are sought after on the world market, the history of slavery and indentured slavery is still rife in the country. You see it in the political make up of the government - the "Indian" guyanese who came to Guyana as "workers" but really they were just slaves getting pennies to work and then the black guyanese who are descendants of slaves who worked the plantations as well. This social divide has riddled the country ever since independence as when a majority black government is in, they do more to help black guyanese and when Indian guyanese are in power, they do the same. This goes back and forth and there's real bad blood between the two with violent outbreaks happening between them often.
Country has never really been able to progress because of this and most of the people are poor due to government corruption like most Caribbean and South American countries. Factor in lack of food resources, materials for housing (a lot of wooden shack like homes throughout Guyana), poor education system, isolation... this can lead to crippling depression. Most of the suicides are done by drinking poison.... beautiful country with strong resilient people. I wish the world knew more about this little black country in South America, it's really a hidden gem with lots of potential but the social, economic and political make up of society in Guyana make this seem impossible. Shorty from Black Panther who played T'Challa sister is Guyanese btw...
The rate of inflation is absurd there. The gold and oil are taken up by the major investors leaving many in the country to bare scrape by and many are barely making a liveable wage.Guyana has gold and oil
There is no lack of food, huge farms, plenty of cattle, trees with vegetation are literally everywhere
There is no lack of building resources, that 60% forest is used for building
The rural areas are filled with builders masons and carpenters. Houses are being erected
You don't know what you're talking about
Complaining about lunch is not equal to making it out of a high crime, poor country that the person's parents were able to do. And that's for a lot of the carribbean.Guyanese people naturally are not mentally tough. I remember I went to school with a handful of them. Some of these nikkas would cry/complain if they missed lunch like the world was coming to an end.
