Racism: A Serious Problem Dividing People And Destroying Communities

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.

The Baal Prophets Of America 2020 Elections That Victory Prophecies For Trump Failed

Many pastors, including Pat Robertson, Paula White, and Chris Oyakhilome, prophesied that Trump would win the 2020 elections, but he lost.

America is a country that has thousands of pastors, so-called prophets, churches, and religious institutions, but the government's crimes against humanity, lies, deceptions, and the killings of innocent people with biological weapons, then shifting the blame on monkeys and bats, are enough to acknowledge the fact that God doesn't communicate with any of those that claim to be prophets in the country.

In the Bible, God communicates with his prophets, such as Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, etc., instructing them to deliver messages and denouncing crimes and wickedness in nations, with warnings of what will befall them if they fail to obey God's commandments.

I have never heard of any American prophet or pastor warning the US government about its crimes against humanity and the killings of innocent people with biological weapons or with laboratory-created diseases inflicted on the innocent populations.

Under the nose of these so-called prophets, Bill Gates takes contaminated vaccines to poor countries, reducing childbirth without the consent of the people, while testing Ebola viruses in Congo. None of these prophets has the vision to see what is going on to warn them.

Then, during the 2020 elections, these so-called prophets suddenly claimed they heard the voice of God, speaking to them that Donald Trump would win. I listened when one quoted Amos 3:7, "Surely the Lord God does nothing, nothing, without revealing his purpose to his servants the prophets." 

 

According to Sid Roth, he has interviewed prophet after prophet that he trusts who have said without blinking an eye that Donald Trump will have two terms, and President Trump is going to win.

Celebrities Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Streisand, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jon Stewart, are among some of the celebrities that promised to quit America in 2016 if Trump is elected president but they are still there

Some of the so-called prophets who predicted victory for Trump were Pat Robertson, an Indian prophet called Sadhu Selvaraj, Pastor Denise Goulet, and Pastor Mark Taylor, who said he is sure that Trump will win. 

 

Then follow Nigerian pastors Chris Oyakhilome and TB Joshua, and other American pastors. Evan Franklin Graham, Michelle Bachmann, prophetess Kat Kerr, Dr. Stella Immanuel, pastor Lance Wallnau, pastor Mark Burns, pastor Paula White, pastor Curt Landry, pastor Robert Jeffress, prophet Kevin Zadai, and pastor Gregg Lock. 

 

As I sit on my bed, listening to those prophecies, which all were carried by the wind to the wilderness or never materialized, instead seeing the miserable defeat of Trump by his rival, Joe Biden, I ask myself, "Why did all these pastors or prophets interested in America's elections fail to see or speak about US crimes against humanity if they are true prophets?"

 

Don't be deceived into calling yourselves pastors or prophets without a vision, because if you claim to be a prophet, as many said that God spoke to them that Donald Trump will win the 2020 elections, they should have heard God's voice saying that monkeys and bats are not responsible for HIV/AIDS and Ebola, but are biological weapons.

 

All these so-called pastors or prophets are like the politicians swearing oaths with the Bible, yet doing the opposite of what the Bible says. How can you be a prophet or pastor and watch such wickedness going on in America without a word? 

 

And here they are today, predicting about the 2020 election victory for someone who doesn't even know God. If Trump knows God, he wouldn't promote racism and white supremacy in the United States of America, and if Trump reads his bible daily, he will remember the verse that says, "God created man in his own image."

In fact, the failure and defeat of Trump by Joe Biden reveal that not all the prophets are genuine; they are all fake pastors or prophets. Do these prophets think God can be mocked? You can never be a good prophet if you fail to speak out against clandestine crimes your country commits.

These so-called prophets actually accepted the lies and deceptions of the US government, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control, killing innocent people with biological weapons and claiming that bats, monkeys, and bushmeat are responsible.

The failure of Trump to win the elections is enough to tell you that all those prophets are prophets of Baal, occupying the temple that Ahab and his wife Jezebel built for Baal.

RACIAL RESEARCH AND EUGENICS GLOBAL DEPOPULATION PROGRAM

 

Hitler credited eugenics in America as the most important factor influencing his policies on racial and hereditary science.

At least half of the world population has to die.

“Eugenics,” or “good genes,” was a science based on “social Darwinism,” or “survival of the fittest,” applied to humans. It was very popular with those who had most of the wealth and felt like they needed a scientific rationale for it to validate the great poverty and suffering that also would occur. 

After 1900, Rockefeller, along with the Harriman family, the family that gave the Bush family its start, began to spend millions on “eugenics” research.

 

Some of the Rockefeller Foundation money went to a Swiss psychiatrist named Ernst Rudin. He later went on to head the German “Racial Hygiene Society,” a section of the new Nazi state. Rockefeller would also hire William Lyon Mackenzie King as a “Director of Industrial Research” for the Rockefeller Foundation shortly after he began the racist war on opium-smoking Chinese in Canada.

 

“Eugenics” soon evolved into “racial hygiene,” a term the Nazis used to scientifically justify their genocidal policies. Hitler was called the “physician of the German people,” who were “killing in the name of healing.” 

One member of Davenport’s office would remark that Hitler “should be made (an) honorary member” of the ERO. (191) The ERO and Ernst Rudin, ex-Rockefeller employee and head of the German “Racial Hygiene Society,” worked together regularly.

 

Rockefeller’s racist writers were a hit. By the early 1930s, thirty states had passed compulsory sterilization laws that gave panels of “experts” the power to sterilize individuals who fell into such undesirable social categories as “sexual perverts,” “epileptics,” “drunkards,” and “drug fiends.” Hitler credited eugenics in America as the most important factor influencing his policies on racial and hereditary science.

 

At least half of the world population has to die.

 

Rockefeller’s Council on Foreign Relations recently published an article stating that the US population should be reduced to “about its size in the 1940s,” in other words, cut back by at least half. 

It goes without saying that similar (if not more drastic) “cuts” are called for in the rest of the world. Most of their attention is with the “less developed” countries. Africa, of course... and you will not believe it... blacks in Atlanta...

 

Atlanta is often affectionately called the “Black Mecca” of the South, but the city has undergone a dramatic demographic shift over the past four decades. Black Atlanta is shrinking, and there are 20 major reasons, a “20-Point Plan,” that account for this depopulation. Many of them are detailed in a book entitled “The Black Metropolis in the Twenty-First Century” (2007).

 

The Center for the Study of Racism, Social Justice, and Health

 

The Center for the Study of Racism, Social Justice, and Health is dedicated to examining how and when racism affects health, providing tools to improve the rigor with which researchers study racism and health, and evaluating intervention strategies that most effectively address racism’s contributions to health inequities.

 

The Center is distinguished from other disparities-related research units at UCLA by its primary focus on the health implications of racism for diverse populations. Public health is both an academic and an applied discipline. 

Therefore, the Center encourages the translation of research findings for use by public health professionals, community organizations, and policymakers in their ongoing health equity efforts.

 

Many Center affiliates are working to identify, investigate, and explain the specific mechanisms by which various forms of racism may produce local, national, or global health inequities. 

Others are advancing critical racial theories or building community partnerships to guide their anti-racism and health equity work.

 

How does racism affect the physical and mental health of diverse populations? What tools are available to improve the rigor with which researchers study racism and its relationship to health inequities? 

Which intervention strategies most effectively address racism’s contribution to specific health inequities? What are effective ways to teach public health students about racism?

 

As a journal writer for UCL of FSPH, Professor Chandra Ford writes about how study results may be influenced by conscious or unconscious assumptions.

How can public health researchers address racism? That’s the focus of a supplement to the latest issue of the journal Ethnicity & Disease, for which UCLA professor Chandra Ford served as a guest editor.

 

“Race is a social construct and not a biological attribute, but scientists continue to design studies that reinforce the notion that race and ethnicity are causes of health outcomes,” said Ford, an associate professor of community health sciences and the founding director of the Center for the Study of Racism, Social Justice & Health at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.

 

The journal supplement includes a collection of papers based on critical race theory, a concept developed more than three decades ago by legal scholars that illuminates the subtle ways racism matters in any situation.

 

“Critical race theory helps public health researchers avoid common pitfalls that pervade the field and limit the capacity to achieve equity,” Ford said.

 

These pitfalls include erroneously targeting biological or cultural characteristics of minorities as the root cause of the disease, thus missing the true cause and conflating the effects of racism with those of race or ethnicity and reinforcing racial or ethnic stereotypes. 

For example,” Ford said, “a researcher might incorrectly jump to a conclusion that differences between white and Black people observed in a study are due to genetic factors, even if that researcher did not actually analyze their genetic backgrounds.

 

A paper by Ford and colleagues in the supplement examines the public health version of critical race theory, called “public health critical race praxis,” which she and Collins Airhihenbuwa, a professor of health management and policy at Georgia State University, coined in 2010. Scientists can use the praxis to minimize the risk of inserting racial bias into their research.

 

A team led by Ford applied the praxis to an ongoing study in which they are analyzing the type of care received by a group of people who were diagnosed with HIV between 2008 and 2012. All of the authors of the HIV research completed brief, confidential questionnaires asking what they believed the outcomes would be for the research questions they plan to answer, including any racial or ethnic patterns they expect to find.

 

The study of possible bias in HIV research is not complete, but Ford and her colleagues will compare the authors’ assumptions with the actual data the study produces to determine whether the authors’ biases could have affected the results.

For the ongoing study, Ford and her colleagues also plan to analyze whether the services HIV patients receive are affected by the race and ethnicity of the health care workers who are caring for them.

 

“These are just two examples of how public health critical race praxis can be applied to research,” Ford said. “This is not a formula, but a broad, standardized approach that researchers can use to draw attention to how racism can influence the empirical work that they do.”

 

Chandra Ford, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Community Health Sciences. Her areas of expertise include HIV/AIDS prevention and care; HIV testing among older adults; the social determinants of health/social epidemiology; conceptualizing and measuring racism, race, and ethnicity; Public Health Critical Race Praxis (PHCRP)/Critical Race Theory; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) health disparities. 


Dr. Ford earned her Ph.D. from the Gillings School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina. She completed postdoctoral fellowships in the Department of Social Medicine at the University of North Carolina and the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University, where she was a W. K. Kellogg Foundation Kellogg Health Scholar. Ford has received several competitive awards. She currently is a Kaiser Permanente Chris Burch Leadership Awardee.

VIOLENT AMERICA UNDER A TWISTED DEMOCRACY

Violence and Racism have soiled the American flag

Over the decades, the United States government has interfered in other countries’ political affairs, criticizing and calling for a change. But today, our generation has lived to see the country that always preaches about democracy, could be one of the most violent and racially divided countries in the world.

 

America has completely deviated from the path of democracy towards anarchy because of the continuous system of institutional racism, discrimination, political greed, and Apartheid system of government, under conditions of suffrage, political hate, and medical deceptions.

 

Until recently, that is after the death of George Floyd, all American leaders did nothing significant about racism in the country. Caucasian cops kill blacks with impunity as the whole world, including the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Holland, watches without a word.

 

Therefore, baffles me if Joe Biden is now accusing Trump of racism and violence in his speeches, when for decades every American leader, including Obama and Biden himself, supported every crime against black people in the United States of America and Europe.

 

Every American or European leader is not a fool, they know that racial violence can cause havoc and destruction but nobody cares because they are interested to oppress black people than making their lives better. They scream “White power,” because they fear the power of the black man.

 

“White people will fully understand the cruelty and the wickedness of the black man, if black people will rise against the white man and do exactly what they did to black people in slavery, colonialism, Apartheid, killing, hanging, racism, discrimination, burning and lynching, but we shall not do that because black people are civilized.”- Joel Savage

 

America is bleeding because Donald Trump knows that about 70% of the population is racist, therefore, he is not doing anything about the political violence that has erupted in the country and he is not willing to do anything about the members of the Ku Klux Klan in police uniforms pumping bullets into unarmed blacks.

 

What has happened in the past and current situation in America, don’t reflect on anything about America’s version of democracy. In my opinion, the killings of innocent people, the political and medical crimes around the globe, have eventually come back to take their sweet revenge on America.

What Does Kevin De Bruyne 'Black Lives Matter' Jersey Mean To Belgium?

Kevin De Bruyne and others, support for the 'Black Lives Matter, following the murder of the African-American, George Floyd. Photo credit:rtl.be/sport

Kevin De Bruyne is a Belgian professional football player who will be 29 on June 28, 2020. His prowess in football as a midfield player has enabled him to play for the league club Manchester City and the Belgian National Team.

After hundred days of the English premier league suspension by the coronavirus, Manchester City and Arsenal players exhibited jerseys on the soccer field with the inscription 'Black Lives Matter' behind.

Following the brutal murder of the African-American, George Floyd, many organizations and football players around the globe have shown solidarity and supported the 'Black Lives Matter,' movement, since there is also a serious issue of racism in football.

Manchester City player, Kevin De Bruyne was among other players to denounce racism in soccer as he kneels on the field. However, I strongly believe De Bruyne's action may trigger many questions of interest.

The footballer comes from Belgium, a country that has hailed and supported colonial crimes by erecting statues and naming streets after Leopold II, a king that maimed, hacked the wrists and limbs of children and killed thousands of Congolese.

Why for decades, it has never been a subject of interest to Kevin De Bruyne and other Belgium players, including Romelu Lukaku and Vincent Kompany, to speak about that inglorious statue of Leopold II, which has brought shame, disrespect, and insults to the black man?

You need to consider people who deliberately do the wrong things, yet pretend they have done something good very dangerous. That is both the Belgium government and its royal family. If there isn't any statue for Hitler for killing Jews, then there shouldn't be any Leopold II's statue for killing Africans because we are all human beings.

The color of a person doesn't matter than the brain he has, therefore this color issue was just institutionalized as a barrier for the greedy white people to oppress other people to work as slaves for them, leading to slavery, colonialism brutalities and Apartheid.

Marc Dutroux is a Belgian convicted pedophile who killed children. He was convicted in 1989 for the abduction and rape of five young girls and in 2004, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for the abduction, rape, and killings of young girls. 

Since 2004, I am waiting for the Belgium government to unveil the statue of Dutroux but it has never happened. Sometimes I wonder why a country that has gained world recognition in beer and chocolate productions, will ruin their reputation in this manner?

Surprisingly, despite all the problems, including demonstrations and hate that have generated against the government and the royal family, over those stupid statues, the Belgian government wasn't prepared to remove them, until angry protesters defaced one of Leopold's statue in Ekeren, one Belgium's municipals.

The removal of Leopold's statue in Ekeren has a voice that if the Belgium government or the royal family is wise, they should listen to. Also, Kevin De Bruyne's jersey also has a message that if they listen carefully they will hear.

Already, statues serving slavery and colonial interest are being pulled down. The Belgian government and the royal family shouldn't wait for another 'George Floyd' to be killed, followed by riots, before they consider pulling down the senseless Leopold's statues.

A word to the wise is enough.

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

Priti Patel, a British politician and member of Parliament

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.

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.

Dr. Wolff Geisler and the writer, Joel Savage, in Cologne, Germany

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.

RACISM IS PART OF AMERICA'S CONSTITUTION

The controversial  Donald Trump loved by racist Americans

Decades after the abolition of slavery, it wouldn't have been a problem if America wants to live in peace with African-Americans, after all, they didn't call for slavery but that's not what America wants because discrimination and racism, are part of the country's constitution.

America is a country of oppression that runs the Apartheid system of government. The best way to cover their clandestine and sinister activities is to make noise about democracy but the United States of America's deception and hypocrisy, are taking its toll on the country today.

Racism is not written on the forehead of people who think a particular race is important than others or other people are inferior or sub-human. It is the action, philosophy, and sick ideology of people that make them pure racists. Donald Trump has a similar ideology of racial hate embedded in his brain.

Already, Trump is experiencing the toughest period in his life as the president, since the coronavirus has taken its toll on American citizens in a such a destructive manner that Trump now depends on a miracle from heaven to let the epidemic vanish from that country, however, this is not going to happen, until the right thing is done.

Trump, as a matter of fact, lacks leadership skills and on many occasions showed his weakest part in solving racial and gun violence problems in the country, yet he has many fans or people that like him. Yes, many like Trump because about 70% of Americans are racist. Birds of the same feather flock together.

In Ghana, my country, there is a proverb that says "Those that behead people fear to sleep because they are scared some else can behead them." Thus, people that often try to show to the world that they are brave, many times are rather cowards. Donald Trump is one of them. He talks a lot but he is a coward. 

I can't confirm it but I read he went to hide in a bunker at the White House amidst the demonstration against the police officer that killed George Floyd.

If you hate black people, you will hate everything associated with black, whether the people are in Africa or America. Donald Trump doesn't only hate African-Americans, he hates the continent of Africa as well. Referring to the continent as "Shithole Nation" is a piece of ample evidence.

I am aware that coward Trump will never step Africa until his death. I wasn't surprised to read that “US First Lady Melania Trump announced that she would visit Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, and Egypt, on her first major international solo trip to promote child welfare and education.

Why Melanie Trump, instead of Donald Trump? Because he is scared to death and the countries his wife visited are countries that Ebola didn't occur. 

Melanie is not only scared to visit any of the countries hit by Ebola but wouldn't like to feel guilty in a country deliberately killed by a biological weapon of the US government, while together with the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control, they continue to lie to the world that bats are responsible.

How long can one fight the truth? And how long can one keep suppressing information? The answers can be traced to the current epidemic of the coronavirus or COVID-19.

GEORGE FLOYD'S EMOTIONAL POEM OF AGONY BEFORE HIS DEATH

The late George Floyd, pinned with the knee of a white policeman on his neck

Centuries after the abolition of slavery, African-Americans that sacrificed their lives to build what we know as the United States of America today, are still facing the challenges of better integration and acceptance in society as Americans.

In a country that preaches about democracy and an effective law system, the world shouldn't have witnessed such ugly scenes of injustice against black people. Donald Trump once called African countries 'Shithole Nations' the same way African-Americans are treated.

On May 25, an African-American from Minneapolis identified as George Floyd, was pinned down and handcuffed by white police officers, with one of the knees pressed against Floyd’s neck for about 9 minutes. 

The 46 year-old-man, who was having difficulties in breathing pleaded for his life but all his efforts fell on deaf ears. These are his last words before his death.

"It's my face man
I didn't do nothing serious man
please
please
please I can't breathe
please man
please somebody
please man
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
please

(inaudible)
man can't breathe, my face
just get up
I can't breathe
please (inaudible)
I can't breathe sh*t
I will

I can't move
mama
mama
I can't
my knee
my nuts
I'm through
I'm through

I'm claustrophobic
my stomach hurt
my neck hurts
everything hurts
some water or something
please
please

I can't breathe officer
don't kill me
they gon' kill me man
come on man
I cannot breathe
I cannot breathe
they gon' kill me
they gon' kill me
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
please sir
please
please
please I can't breathe"


After these words, George Floyd stopped pleading, and shortly after that, he was pronounced dead.

Coronavirus

In a country, that coronavirus has killed a higher percentage of African-Americans than the whites, many black people think there is a sinister plot to kill them. Some even believe that white Americans that hate black people purposely join the police force to show their brutalities against black people in the United States of America.

A MAN CAN'T BE PRAISED FOR HIS EVIL DEEDS, UNLESS YOU'RE EVIL

The quote of Martin Luther King Jr

We often hear “I don’t like Obama, I hate CNN, I don’t like George W. Bush, etc. If you try to find out the reason for their hatred and dislike, they will tell you why.

It is easier to hate than to show or give love to a person. Thus, probably if someone hates me, there must be a reason for that. But when I haven’t committed any crime, I would like to find out why someone hates me. Is it because of my probing articles?

I am an African writer living in Europe, reading every humiliating and degrading article European and American journalists write about Africa. Do you expect me to join them when they have many problems to deal with on their shores, but pretend everything is fine?

In Brussels, come daily European and other world leaders to talk about problems affecting the world, with the aim of finding solutions to tackle those problems. In the same Brussels stands a statue of Leopold II, the king who killed and maimed over ten million Africans, including women and children.

Belgium didn’t consider the crime of this criminal. Instead, they built a statue to glorify and named streets after him throughout the country, when there is no statue of Adolf Hitler, for killing 6 million Jews. Would you hate me as an African writer who values life if I write that the Belgian government should pull down that statue?

The world leaders and journalists converging at Brussels don’t care about any statue, because they are not Africans; moreover, the life of an African to them is valueless. But since the Bible I read tells me that ‘God created man in His own image,’ I will write an article against this injustice and ignorance.

No one in their right mind would praise someone who has committed such a heinous crime unless the person is sick himself or evil. Sometimes, “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed,” said Martin Luther King Jr. Yes, the sufferer has to scream for the oppressor to know what the oppressed are going through.

Terrorism

The selfishness, greed, hypocrisy, and bad policies of European and American leaders have generated scores of hatred for the common citizens. Whatever terrorism has taken place in Europe and America, in the past and today, was caused by Europe and America.

In Brussels, they sit behind a heavy security gate and take measures to combat terrorism. After that, they give those measures to the media for publication, but the reasons that led to the killing of innocent citizens are never given to the media. Because they don’t want the public to know the truth, and again aren’t ready to change their bad policies.

Unfortunately, people don’t realize the harm these politicians are causing in society against ordinary citizens. Do we have to depend on such people/politicians for security or protection? They were there when 9/11 occurred. 

They were there when runners taking part in a marathon were murdered by unscrupulous terrorists. They were there when terrorists struck France, and they were there when Africa was intentionally plagued with Aids, Ebola, Lassa fever, and other diseases.

When they see victims of terrorism's bodies scattered, before you’ll see soldiers and the police with guns at every point of the street, disrupting public activities. These politicians have no protection for us today or tomorrow. In fact, they have left us sitting on a time bomb, without knowing when the next terrorist act will strike.

Honestly, the public can take good care of themselves more than what politicians can do, if each becomes his brother’s keeper, giving love, doing away with racism, discrimination, and living in peace and harmony. Love truly conquers everything.

WHO IS A RACIST? EVERY ONE IS A RACIST

An angry policeman shows anger toward a Blackman. 


The Blackman said to the Whiteman that "You are a racist," and the Whiteman also said to the Blackman that "You are a racist." This became more interesting than a common argument.

Nobody is prepared to be called a racist. The question is, who, at all, is a racist? Racism, the claim of superiority of skin against another person, is something that can't be eradicated but can be reduced.

 

When one talks about racism, all attention goes to the Whiteman, because the Whiteman is the one people point fingers at as being racist.

 

Frankly speaking, some Blacks are more racist than the Whiteman. Again, racism is an act that is with everyone.

 

Why do some people hate others because of their sexual preference? Why do people hate other people because of religious preference?

 

The Flemish don't like the Walloons in Belgium. "We don't want them to come and live in our society and ruin our culture."

 

What a racist comment made by a Flemish politician against the Walloons. The Italians hate the Albanians. I don't see this as only discrimination but also racism.

 

The African is accusing the Whiteman of being racist, but when you go to Africa, you will learn how they hate themselves over there.

 

The Yoruba man hates an Igbo man in Nigeria, a Fanti hates an Ashanti in Ghana, a Hutu hates a Tutsi in Rwanda, and a Creole man hates the Temini man in Sierra Leone.

 

If the Africans hate themselves, why then do they accuse the Whiteman of racism? Nobody is racist, or in my opinion, everyone is a racist.

 

If people will understand, respect, and value other people regarding the color of their skin, religion, or sexual preference, the world will be a peaceful place to live. Let God judge, don't judge.

56 DAYS FOR LIAM STACEY'S RACIAL TWEET ISN'T ENOUGH

The symbol of white power


Regarding racism, offenders must be severely punished in the sense that they know what they are doing and what the outcome would be. Racism has caused so much bloodshed, unrest, and violence globally that it is time for the world to realize that enough is enough. 


Yet others desire to call for bloodshed and violence; thus, when such people are arrested, they must face a tougher sentence than the 56 days given to Liam Stacey for insulting someone in a coma. 

Bolton player Fabrice Muamba collapsed during a game. If Liam wasn't ready to wish him a speedy recovery, then he must shut up. Instead, he posted stupid racial remarks against someone at the point of death on Twitter. 

What is the significance of this? Calling or supporting racism in football? These stupid comments he made were uncalled for. Surprisingly, he was given only 56 days. 

According to the district judge, John Charles, he took into account the student's early guilty plea and the fact that he had been "in drink" at the time, but he said the comments were "vile and offensive" and his sentence had to "reflect public abhorrence." 

Judge John Charles should have fined him, too, for drinking and losing his mind. People do terrible things and blame it on alcohol.

His school, Swansea University, did the right thing by suspending him from his biology course over the case.

Even though 56 days behind bars isn't enough, Judge John Charles did well to consider this matter. Liam Stacey's jail will serve as a deterrent to others who want to stir hatred and bloodshed through football.

BLACK GANGS RELATED CRIME AND SOCIETY

Black gangs



In every institution that accommodates people with different backgrounds, including schools and even hospitals, there is likely to be racism. 


I couldn’t believe it in my hospital bed in Rome, Italy, in the early nineties, a nurse refused to give me my daily medication, because of the color of my skin. She completely neglected me and gave the task to someone else to do.

Despite this bitter experience, I wouldn’t like to accept the fact that many racists in police uniforms terrorized Blacks because of racism, and I will do everything to put them behind bars. The law must work. 

If one commits a crime, he must pay for his or her crime, and as a matter of fact, “Black-related crime” has increased abnormally in recent years, landing many behind bars.

Wherever there are lots of Black people, there is always crime. Morons, school dropouts, and frustrated teenagers formed gangs. After smoking marijuana and feeding on cocaine, they take to the streets to terrorize and shoot people, including their fellow Blacks. 

They enjoy sitting by the television to watch and listen to the horrendous crime they have committed. Stiff-necked fools. What a waste of precious time and suffering by the mothers who carried the pregnancies of these monsters.

Growing up in Africa, I witnessed that poverty is the major cause of many problems, such as stealing, crime, teenage pregnancy, and other social crimes. 

Many parents couldn’t educate their children because of the high cost of education. Yet the crime rate, besides South Africa, is not as high in many African countries as in Britain and America, where education is available without tears. 

There are so many Blacks in jail across Britain and America than Whites. Some argue that there are targets to police brutality and racism, but the question is, “Why would one be incarcerated or put behind bars when innocent?” 

Others also say that Blacks are jailed than Whites because of the cheap labor that is needed at the prisons. Whatever the case may be, why can’t people try to live a crime-free life?

If Black gangs would ever sit and take into consideration how gang violence has destroyed and continues destroying societies, also in Britain and America, they could turn a new leaf overnight. How does one expect to get a job to lead a decent life when your CV is full of crime and bloodshed? 

They say the best way to hide something from the Blackman is to write it in a book”. That means Black people don’t read. It is time to prove this statement wrong. Crime doesn’t pay. Education is the key to success.

MOSQUES BUILDING IN EUROPE AND AMERICA MUST COME TO AN END

The mosque: a place of prayer, and where all evil plans are hatched



“When you go to Rome, you do what the Romans do.” This statement doesn’t mean any discrimination or racism in any way. It simply means that the country belongs to the Romans. 


In this case, they make their laws and rules, so every abiding citizen, including foreigners, must obey these laws. As easy for Christians to understand this law, some religious sect takes it as discriminatory and racist.

I do agree with the leader of the “Vlaams Belang Party”, Philip De Winter, in Belgium, when protesting against the building of a central mosque in Antwerp. 

The reason is simple and logical. First of all, “Belgium is a country that belongs to the Belgians; therefore, they have to make their own rules and laws, not foreigners. These rules and laws must be obeyed, including foreigners.

Point number two, an investigation has revealed that most of the terrorism plans are hatched in mosques. It would be recalled in the political history of Ghana that when J. J. Rawlings came to power as a Flight-Lieutenant, the first thing he did was to demolish the mosque in central Accra, because that was the center of all evil activities by so-called Islamic worshippers. The place is now a central car parking place.

Point number three, if any Belgian living in an Arab land requests permission to build a cathedral or church in that country, the permit is not only going to be denied but also, but he may also serve a prison sentence for speaking about Christianity in an Arab land. 

So why should the West or America always permit the building of mosques in their countries? Are they afraid of Muslims? I can’t simply understand.

Once I was walking along Pothoekstraat in Antwerp and saw a Belgian driving. He stopped and called a Moroccan and requested the direction of a street he was looking for. I was shocked at what I saw. 

Instead of the Moroccan telling him that I don’t know the street or here is the street, he went closer to the driver and spat on his face. With saliva full on his face, the Belgian drove his car away. What is the sense in this?

Being strict and implementing laws and rules against foreigners doesn’t give room for one to be called a racist, but it is one of the measures to reduce crime and theft in a society. 

Belgians must wake up, else one day they will see themselves burning in a fire they did not start. Problems are solved diplomatically. There is no room for violence anywhere in this world as a means of solving a problem.

Greed is the stumbling block to world peace- Joseph Hill

Joel Savage interviews Joseph Hill, the lead singer of the group Culture

POLE-POLE FESTIVAL-GENT- BELGIUM (2004) BY JOEL SAVAGE

Down in Jamaica, where Garvey comes from, many groups and musicians started in the early seventies, as the mighty Joseph Hill of Culture. But they are nowhere to be found today. 


Like the spirit of the Lord upon Joseph Hill, for the past 30 years, nothing at all could stop him from spreading his message against war, oppression, crime, discrimination, poverty, racism, corruption and injustice. 

Last year, 2003, he came out with "World Peace," seeking peace worldwide and rejecting war totally through music. On July 25, 2004, after performing live, he granted this interview to "The Voice Magazine" Belgian correspondent. Joel Savage.

TV: I have to call you, Sir Joseph Hill. Let's rally round Jehovah's throne. I have a few questions to ask you today.

Joseph: You are welcome. (Then he smiled)

TV: It was in the seventies that I heard of Culture. Can you please tell me what has inspired you to be in this hard music industry for all these years?

Joseph: It's Jah (referring to God) that gives me the strength. Always feel that something is watching out for me. For myself, I love to play for the people. They are also part of my inspiration. That's what has inspired me through all these years.

TV: You have been singing all your life about corruption, oppression, discrimination, war, poverty, and so on. Were you a victim of such things in any circumstances?

Joseph: There are people I saw in comparison to various countries. Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! I have seen those things for political reasons. I have seen people die, and not a word of justice has been said. 

Think of the person's life. It is priceless. The last grief I had was this woman in Afghanistan, who is separated from her land. They treated her so badly that she and her sixteen-year-old child were eating grass. That was my last grief. (Joseph moved with sorrow, spelled the word grass "G R A S S")

TV: Your lyrics and beats in every song of "Culture" touch and move everyone on the road of trials and tribulations. Where do you get such wonderful rhythms and lyrics from?

Joseph: The big man who rules the earth. (He laughed) He is the governor.

TV: You were in Sierra Leone on two occasions, when the war was at its peak, with the brutal activities of the rebels. Did your visit create any impact or change your view on the suffering masses in the country?

Joseph: Yes, my visit brought a change. When people saw me, they didn't know what to say. They just cried and cried. You know, the rebels told the government that "You should be glad Joseph is here. If he weren't here, this place would be destroyed within 24 hours. I just came back from there a few weeks ago.

Joel: I learned that in the capital, Freetown, at the guest house you lodged, there is a tree nearby, and every morning a bird came to sing, and out of the song of the bird, you composed a song from it. Is it true?

Joseph: Yes, it's true.

Joel: On July 4th, 2004, I interviewed Lucky Dube, who told me that as a friend, you are one of the best men in the music industry. How do you react to this nice compliment?

Joseph: I take it easy. That's it.

Joel: I ask the same question to any reggae artist I interview. Reggae music is loved by everyone. But why is it that the music is given less recognition?

Joseph: Because the truth is God's friend, but not a lot of people are friends of the truth.

Joel: You have been following the Palestinian and Israeli conflict for a very long time, and you have even visited the Gaza Strip. Who do you think is the stumbling block to the peace everyone is seeking?

Joseph: Greed, greed, and greed because there is enough to satisfy every man's need but never enough to satisfy any man's greed. So greed is the stumbling block.

Joel: In one of your songs, you played a song against Yasser Arafat, as the stumbling block.

Reggae interviews

Joseph: He made himself like that. He has to change his ways, and the other man would change his ways. There is something called “Repentance”. When repentance meets their hearts, we shall have a beautiful world.

Joel: You successfully came out last year with the remarkable “world peace” album. What message do you still have in mind for your numerous fans worldwide?

Joseph: You know, people should respect one another. To be used, abused, refused, and our hearts trampled by fear, and living in doubt, thinking we are living on top of the world. No, we shouldn’t live that way. We have to seek happiness, love, mutual respect, joy, and the justice of God around us, and peace would find its rightful place.

Joel: Thank you very much for this interview, Sir Joseph Hill.

Joseph: Thanks be to Jah
