Racism: A Serious Problem Dividing People And Destroying Communities

Racial protest in America

Racial protest in America


Very often, if the word racism is mentioned, the idea that comes to mind is white people hating black people. That's true; however, we have black people who hate white people, too, and black people who hate other black people. 


The latter is one of the biggest issues in the United States of America, often leading to violence in black communities. There are thousands of cases involving blacks killing blacks in the United States of America, but such cases are not given enough attention in America until the whites killing blacks changed things today, through the 'Black Lives Matter' movement.

 

Even in Africa, especially, South Africa, there is still racism, despite the number of years that have passed since the fall of Apartheid, because the white community that has taken over black properties, including land, feels superior. Till now, many regret the fall of Apartheid since they consider black people inferior in their own country.


In almost every African country, tribalism reigns, as citizens or indigenous people hate others because they come from different clans, tribes, or villages. For example, in Ghana, an Ashanti can hate a Fanti, Ga, or Hausa, just because they come from different regions, just like how in Nigeria, a Yoruba hates an Igbo man, or the Mende hating Creole in Sierra Leone.  Tribalism and nepotism are some of the biggest problems in Africa.

 

Power corrupts a person, as well as the mind; therefore, to gain power over others and to dominate others, those who have the power take it as an opportunity to rise above other poor and vulnerable people. That might be one of the reasons slavery probably came about, because Africa was and still is one of the least undeveloped and weakest continents in the world. Even though the US didn't colonize any African country, its allies in Western Europe decimated and brutalized Africa.

 

If actually, we actually need to discuss slavery, it will be incomplete to name racism as the main source leading to that. There is more to slavery than dwells on the natural potentials of Africa, ranging from gold, diamonds, tin, cobalt, manganese, bauxite, and other precious minerals found in African soil. Those pure natural resources have become the curse of Africa from the time of slavery, colonialism, Apartheid, to the deliberate infection of diseases on the continent today.

As a matter of fact, no organization or person can fight racism and discrimination in our society today, but it can be reduced. But one thing racists and white supremacists must first understand is that nobody lives forever. Everyone will die and leave this world. So what is the significance of hating someone or claiming you are superior to him when all of you will leave this world in your graves?


Another point is when the rain falls, hardly does it fall on one man's house; everyone's house becomes wet. Therefore, those interested in violence and supporting racism will have a taste of their own handiwork if violence breaks out in our communities. They will feel the impact of destruction and death in their homes.


For peace, security, and the future of our children, we need to bury racism and discrimination and create a friendly, healthy, and peaceful environment through integration and the diversity of culture, for the next generation. 


That's the only way their time will be different from ours because we have witnessed too much violence, bloodshed, and death that we are no longer interested in seeing any more.

Priti Patel, How Sincere Is The British Government To Judge ‘Black Lives Matter’ Demonstrators?

On May 25, 2020, a 46-year-old African-American or Black man called George Floyd was brutally murdered by white racist police officers in the United States of America. This sparked demonstrations, riots, and looting around the world, including in America and the United Kingdom.


Unfortunately, many demonstrators took this particular period to break the law by stealing and looting, but it is worth mentioning here that those who were involved in such crimes learned what looting is about from the American leaders and European colonization masters.


It’s still in history, if not deleted, that during slavery, colonization, and the apartheid era, America and its allies, Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, Portugal, Britain, etc., looted the continent of Africa to its detriment and underdeveloped the continent for African leaders to depend on them.


This is still taking place, despite decades of the loss of colonial power in Africa and the vast mineral resources on the continent. African leaders still can’t find any reasonable means to utilize their resources, since bad trade policies that favor European and American markets continue to render Africa poor. 


Demonstrations against the brutal murder of George Floyd


In America and Britain, where the demonstrations against the killing of George Floyd turned ugly, many politicians, including Priti Patel, a British politician and member of Parliament, called the demonstrators criminals and hooligans because she wasn't happy about the outcome of the demonstration, especially the looting and damage of property.


Priti Patel was likely born, raised, and educated in Britain; thus, she didn't feel the impact of racism in the country like Black people or as an Indian. She is a racist herself; like other Indians, she is not interested in the death of George Floyd.


It is a really inhuman and very shameful story to tell you of my own experience of racism from an Indian working in an engineering firm in Nigeria in the early eighties. I was employed to drive this Indian who claimed to be Mr. Matthew; according to him, he is a Christian. 


Even though he discriminated against me many times, he still gave me a second job as a cook. He showed me how he likes his meals and how to prepare them. I followed every rule, yet this stingy man continues discriminating against me every time, especially when talking to me and preparing his meals. 


He doesn’t want anyone to eat his food, so he measures his rice with the smallest Vaseline bottle. He even gets angry when I put a single grain of rice into my mouth to see if the rice is soft enough to eat. 


Beer was the cheapest commodity in Lagos at that time, yet Mr. Matthew and his two friends shared one bottle of beer, and the thunderous laughter behind each drink can make you believe that they have consumed 10 bottles of beer. 


How can I continue to work for such a person, I asked myself? That's when I left the job without telling him anything. We have a lot of such people as Mr. Matthew in both Britain and America today, who think Black people are either stupid or slaves; therefore, they don’t need equal treatment like other human beings.


The historical medical crime of the British Government in Africa


In Britain today lives a retired doctor who served in the British military in Uganda. Dr. Carswell was then in Uganda when 'The Weekly Topic' newspaper accused CIA agents disguised as scientists and journalists of spreading lies about the origins of the AIDS virus. 

 

Dr. Wilson Carswell, escaped from the hands of the Ugandan government and continued his deliberate Aids infection in South Africa

Dr. Wilson Carswell escaped from the hands of the Ugandan government and continued his deliberate AIDS infection in South Africa.


Shortly afterward, the Ugandan government suspected that Dr. Wilson Carswell, the leading AIDS-research scientist, was actually deliberately infecting the people with AIDS. The Ugandan authorities ransacked his house and destroyed his computer, together with all the AIDS files.


Dr. Wilson Carswell then escaped from Uganda, and after a short stay with his commissioners in Porton Down, Great Britain, he was able to start up again as head of the AIDS unit of the Department of National Health and Population Development in South Africa and continued his deliberate AIDS infection. 


Today, South Africa has the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world.

 

Priti Patel may be wondering how I got this information. In Ghana, my country of birth, there is a proverb that says, “Liars are those who say my witness lives overseas.”

 

After reading the book called “AIDS: Origin, Spread, and Healing,” by the German medical doctor Wolff Geisler. I quickly made contact with him and went straight to see him personally in Cologne, Germany, and it turns out that it was a true account.

Priti Patel, due to all the information about the recorded medical crime by the British government in Africa, I think it's necessary to call the British government a criminal instead of calling “Black Lives Matter” demonstrators “hooligans and criminals.” 


Dr. Wolff Geisler’s book also reveals that Burkitt’s lymphoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and nodding disease were false or fake diseases that scientists who supported the medical crimes supervised by the World Health Organization referred to as “strange diseases,” but they were all biological weapons of the British and American governments. 


Priti Patel, if you know much about these diseases, you will agree with me that they hit the East African countries of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania simultaneously more than any other African country.


We live in a world where people easily believe lies rather than the truth. Jesus said, "The truth shall set you free," but the truth instantly makes one an enemy; the same truth will let you lose all your friends. 


I have lived in Belgium for the past twenty years, yet I can't breathe because colonial statues of Leopold II, a king who killed 10 million Africans, including women and children, are pressing on my neck. The more I tried to lift myself, the more invisible forces tried to pull me down. 


Many social media platforms have falsely accused me of violating their rules and have succeeded in kicking me out of their platforms just to suppress information, but in my heart, I know that before or after my death, the truth will defeat lies since the light is more powerful than darkness. 


Hypocrisy, lies, racism, hatred, apartheid, colonialism, slavery, etc., only divide people and destroy a nation. We have witnessed how the coronavirus has decimated the world because of the impact of the lies behind it.


The late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher thought being hard on certain policies, such as immigration and apartheid, would make her a great leader. Because of what she stood for and denied Black people the liberty to enjoy in their own country, South Africa, her name is lost. Nobody mentions Maggie’s name any longer.


So if you want to be known as a good politician, fight for a good cause, do research, and speak out about the crimes of the British government in Africa, and stop calling 'Black Lives Matter' demonstrators criminals and hooligans.

THE ROOTS OF POVERTY IN RESOURCES RICH AFRICA


Slavery is a human genocide


Slavery is a human genocide

.

Africa, especially the region located in the south of the Sahara, is the poorest region of the planet. At the end of 1993, 11 African countries were among the 15 poorest countries. Although this can not be said about North Africa because of oil. 


The poverty of the African continent is exacerbated by a population explosion. Since the continent is unstable, many think Africa is unattractive for capital investments. Despite the vast resources, there is poverty in Africa, and the poor are totally dependent on agriculture.

Although there are a lot of modern reasons for such a lag in development, however, the roots of the problem go back to the distant past, when Europeans who believed that they were superior and more civilized, needed people with different skin color to work for them.

From the middle of the 15th century, slave markets and the sale of African slaves began. They were used as domestic servants, and a great percentage was used in agricultural fields. 

After the Europeans destroyed the indigenous population of the New World, slaves from Africa were exported to America. Only a hundred years from the 1680s, through the 1780s, from Angola to the Spanish colonies of the West Indies took about a million people.

During the slave trade, peculiar slave routes arose. From Europe to Africa, merchants carried firearms, cold arms, alcoholic beverages, copper, iron products, dishes, and glass baubles. 

There, they exchanged these cheap things for the lives of African slaves, which were delivered to the American colonies. In turn, in the New World, black slaves were exchanged for colonial goods highly valued in Europe, such as tobacco, sugar, cotton, etc. 

This brought huge profits to European traders, especially the English ones. Many cities, such as Manchester, London, Liverpool, Bristol, Nantes and Rouen, Dutch Amsterdam, and many others, owe their well-being to the slave trade.

It was only after the European powers divided the whole of Africa among themselves that their governments began a determined struggle against the slave trade. The colonialists did not regard black people as humans and treated them worse than animals. 

In Africa itself, the slaves were very cheap, and their influx to the markets of the New World led to the fact that their prices were rather low; therefore, the 'living goods' traders, striving for the highest profits, tried not to spend money on the slaves. 

In shackles, they were carried in a cramped ship, and the only possible way for them to survive was to sit. Swimming from the coast of Africa across the Atlantic took several weeks, so often slaves died on the way. 

According to some scientists, for every black African brought to the American colonies, there were about 8 people killed during the voyage or during the transition to the coast, and roughly in total,
Africa had lost over 100 million people in the slave trade. 

The slave trade hindered the development of the African continent, hindered the development of agriculture, and prevented the creation of African states. 

According to historians, the slave trade was one of the reasons why the majority of the African population still lives in abject poverty. 

Surprisingly, Africa is still not free. Since slavery and colonization are no longer possible, Africa is now being targeted with strange diseases from 'heaven' yet created by man, not God.

Would France Be Free From Terrorism Without Colonizing Many Islamic Countries?


“France population consists of dangerous terrorists born and raised in the country, making the country an easy target.” – Joel Savage


“France population consists of dangerous terrorists born and raised in the country, making the country an easy target.” – Joel Savage




The scramble for Africa was very swift. It was an opportunity Europeans made good use of it, but with an iron fist, after discovering Africa’s wealth, in the least advanced continent. 



Even though malaria killed hundreds of Europeans, by 1862, they had reached the source of the Nile, then little later, they traced the route of the Niger and confirmed the reality of Africa’s rich mineral resources- ivory, gold, diamonds, tin, copper, rubber, etc.

Between the 1870s and 1900, Africa experienced European imperialist invasion, diplomatic pressures, military invasions, and eventual conquest and colonization. 

Among other European countries, France had Republic of Benin, Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Chad, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Senegal, and Republic of Togo in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia in North Africa, then Djibouti, Lebanon, and Syria.

Since most of the countries colonized by France were Islamic countries, Islam became the second-largest professed religion in France, following Catholic-Christians, with an estimated total of 5 to 10 percent of the national population. 

France stands as the largest Muslim country in Western Europe. Do we have to ask: Would France be free from terrorism without colonizing many Islamic countries?

As the story unfolds, France ruled heavy Islamic dominant countries, including the Republic of Guinea, until Guinea, attained its independence in 1958.  

Like Belgium, that couldn’t stand the pain of losing Congo and embarked on ruthless destruction of Congo, both physically and medically, France aimed to destroy Guinea as well.

They emptied all the coffers of the bank and took everything from the statehouse, including the furniture to France. The newly elected Prime Minister Ahmed Sekou Touré inherited a very bad economy and a complete looted country.

France still interested in Africa established its embassies in every country they colonized and continued interfering with African politics. The reason whenever there is a coup in any of the countries France colonized, they quickly send the military to arrest the situation.

France is seen as paradise by nationals from countries they colonized in Africa, had the opportunity to travel to France to study, request for political asylum and to work as immigrants.

Apart from migration, a lot of Muslims were born in France, amounting to 15 percent of the total population, creating Muslim communities throughout France. 

The country, therefore, has a long and complicated relationship with the Muslim world and its own immigrant population, many of whom have been in the country for generations.

Due to the heavy concentration of Muslims in France, the country is, therefore, an easy target for terrorists.  

At the beginning of this year, gunmen shot dead 12 people at the Paris office of French satirical the magazine Charlie Hebdo, in an apparent militant Islamist attack.

That’s where France should have been careful to avoid the present attacks that have killed at least 129 people.

Under President Francois Hollande, France launched its first airstrikes against ISIS targets in Syria in September, but external attacks against terrorists, can’t weaken the foundation of terrorism threatening France, because the enemies-terrorists are within the people in the country.


The France government should first fight against terrorism at home, to weaken its foundation, before concentrating on external issues.
