VAGABONDS IN POWER: LIBYA SHOWS NEW FORM OF RACISM TOWARDS NATIVE AFRICAN

New LIBYA shows a fresh perception of disparity between Africans by their shades of veneer. After so many years, African children still cry deep tears from their souls and pay a huge debt for their borne identity in pounds of flesh and pints of blood.

With finesse and unrivaled sophistication, well trained spin masters feed us with daily news that taste like jelly doughnuts. Most of us are mostly constipated and many already diabetic from these daily sugar coated news that serve no purpose other than celebrate the justification of the winning sides.

Wherewithal virtue, wherewithal morale, wherewithal guts — especially from those arrogantly costumed bereft African leaders who were quick to congregate in obvious places to defend Gadhafi against the Wrath of NATO? But, were all talks, all talks, and all talks…. which seem to be all they can do, and they are not even good at it.

I abhor those gutless, tin cupping, lying, murdering congregation of quasi representatives of states who do not care about humanity.

African people are:

  • Not free from fear, at home, abroad, or Diaspora
  • Not free from want (want? Ha-ha, not even close, we do not have our basic needs),
  • Not free to practice our own religion (we don’t even know what that is anymore)
  • Not free to express ourselves (many would argue that music is the answer, it not! it is important, but not the panacea, except you live in the Baltic States),
  • And the fifth freedom: not free to protect our children.
  • We are simply not free.

(Should this not be the chief concern of all people of Africans descent high and low?)

We are grateful to others who make effort to remind us, or even encourage us to see these things constructively. However, it is important that our friends and colleagues do not expect indebtedness just because they are able to exercise the freedom to be consciously developed enough to empathize our plight. However, we must appreciate those who do not feel amused about our struggle with self contentment.

Why are Africans asking for human rights from other people? Why should anyone else give these rights to African people? NATO and its allies are busy chasing after Gadhafi obviously to settle an old score at whatever cost, other western leaders are busy weighing their gold and balancing their options for re-elections; African leaders who have been handed a broken clay pot, think the hole in the pot is a pathway to drain the people’s treasure. Human right is the right to think of progress and the right to act accordingly on wherewithal the ways and means. It is an inalienable right of every human being.

These problems of human cultural conflicts seem hopeless and many would argue that we are beating a dead horse. Many have spoken, some have acted and many good leadership have been decapitated by such unscrupulous orders and others derailed. But who is to blame? Our generation witnessed the genocide in Rwanda, atrocities of Liberia, Sierra Leone, massacre in Sudan, all crises of different nature, but have one thing in common: late response and no immediate direct African leadership intervention.

What is going on in Libya is abominable. Vagabonds have taken power from a despot. Libya is going from frying pan into fire, which is quite entertaining; but I am not laughing because they are robbing and killing innocent people, especially the native African people just because they can.

I can imagine that when the new government settles, they will make an argument that they are collecting the native Africans and putting them in jails for their own safety from the public. The spin masters will spoon feed us again, and many of us will swallow it whole. As I go to bed tonight, I will meditate a silent prayer and maybe the all powered God of humanity and true justice will find a way to redeem the plight of those native African Children.  Maybe one African leader would speak up. Maybe one European country leader would speak up. Oh, maybe the American president would speak up … finally!

Humanity is resilient and I stand with anyone who stands by humanity.  Humanity is a stage of atonement with oneself, knowing that all things are integral and therefore there is no need for disparity in the nature of human diversity other than what is good and bad for the progress of the whole without compromising or sacrificing the integrity of a part. If one can just understand this principle, then you will see beauty.
