Indian Arrival Day — Afri-centric Analysis - May 20, 2012
The historical truism is that Indian "indentured servants" came from India to Trinidad on 30 May 1845. They did not come from Indo. Ergo, the descendants of these original Indians are Indian-Trinbagonians. They are not Indo-Trinbagonians. This label is totally Euro-centric, ahistorical and must not only be relegated to the ash heap of T&T's cultural/ethnic history but must also be expunged from T&T's societal lexicon.
White xenophobia in America: Trayvon Martin latest Black victim in Florida - April 12, 2012
The 26 February 2012 killing of the unarmed 17-year old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida speaks volumes as to the omnipresence of white xenophobia ("fear of other races") in America.

Kamla's Euro-centric grandmother concept - January 20, 2012
At the outset, it must be stated quite equivocally that no where in the in the annals/records of world history is it written that Africa is the Grandmother of human civilization.
