Under the thumb of white-collar criminals, justice remains elusive for Black people

 

Under the thumb of white-collar criminals, justice remains elusive for Black people

The Black man in Belgium does not have access to justice, exactly like in the United States of America. 


Justice remains elusive for Black people in the United States due to deeply entrenched systemic racism embedded across all stages of the criminal justice system. Racial disparities are well-documented and not accidental but rather rooted in a history of oppression, discriminatory policies, and biased decision-making that disproportionately targets Black individuals.

 

From policing to sentencing, Black people face higher rates of stops, arrests, pretrial detention, and harsher sentencing compared to white individuals, even when controlling for offense type and criminal history. Black men, who comprise about 13% of the male population, make up approximately 35% of those incarcerated, and one in three Black men born today can expect to be incarcerated in their lifetime, compared to one in six Latino men and one in 17 white men.

 

The origins of modern policing trace back to slave patrols designed to control and capture runaway enslaved people, establishing a legacy of surveillance and violence against Black communities. This history continues today through practices such as racial profiling, with Black individuals being five times more likely to be stopped without just cause than white people.

 

Police killings of unarmed Black Americans contribute to a significant mental health burden, with estimates suggesting over 50 million additional days of poor mental health annually among Black Americans due to these incidents. Despite being disproportionately impacted by fatal police violence, making up 22% of fatal shootings despite being 13.4% of the population, few officers are prosecuted, with only 35 of 98 officers arrested since 2005 convicted of a crime, and only three convicted of murder.

 

In the courtroom, racial bias affects every phase of the legal process, including jury selection, charging decisions, plea negotiations, and sentencing. African American defendants are 22% more likely to have convictions overturned due to police misconduct, and 47% of exonerated individuals in wrongful conviction cases are African American.


The war on drugs has disproportionately devastated Black communities, with African Americans representing 29% of drug arrests and 33% of drug incarcerations despite using illicit drugs at similar rates to white Americans. As of 2022, African Americans were 5.9 times more likely to be incarcerated than whites, and Hispanics were 3.1 times more likely.

 

These disparities are not isolated incidents but reflect a broader pattern of systemic racism that criminalizes poverty and maintains racial hierarchies. The U.S. has the largest prison population in the world, with more Black people under correctional control today than were ever enslaved in the country’s history. This system perpetuates generational trauma, economic inequality, and disenfranchisement, undermining the promise of equal justice.

 

I have lived in Belgium for twenty-five years; I have never seen a single justice for the Black people. People of African descent continue to face dehumanization. There are thousands of Belgian journalists in the country, yet nobody is interested in writing or publishing about crime against Black people in the country. I am the only African writer who has been able to write about some of these crimes, yet the Belgian government and Google have removed a lot of them from my blog.

 

I have been complaining and have written many articles about the crimes of the Belgian government and Google against me and my blog, yet nothing has improved. When I went to the Stuivenberg hospital to investigate the strange circumstances of the death of many Africans, a female official of the Stad Antwerpen said I was crazy when I accused the hospital of stealing the body parts of Africans and deliberately killing them.

 

In my opinion, the female official isn’t an intelligent fellow. What do they expect me to say when the Belgian government and the royal family have built a statue of a lunatic king that orchestrated the killing of over 10 million Africans in the Congo? Once a statue has been built for a murderer, it makes sense to say that the Stuivenberg Hospital was deliberately killing African patients after stealing their body parts. I am happy that after my investigation, the hospital is now permanently closed. 

 

Some years ago, the Belgian government collaborated with Google and deliberately destroyed our genuine health blog to cover up political and medical crimes by the US government, Belgium, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control; however, not this time with my personal blog. 


I am ready to fight Google and any individual with my pen, and the impact of the damage will be more effective than a spear. I have seen that in Belgium, just like in the United States of America, the Black man has no respect and access to justice. I will not beg for any respect. However, as long as I am certain that I have not committed any crimes, I will fight for my survival unabated.


Readers can see that the related post widget has been manipulated; therefore, random articles are appearing. This has been going on for years. I built this blog, and I know its performance, but the fact that they are changing things and slowing it down to discourage reading means they continue to manipulate the blog. More importantly, I have submitted the blog to "Yandex," a Russian search engine; therefore, I receive reports from the webmaster anytime changes are made to my blog. 


There are several tools that, when you run your blog or website through them, tell you what Google has done. Even though I have been publishing everything they do, they continue to do it. Very soon, I will publish new things they have done on my blog. When they respect me, they will get the same back. 


To whom it may concern, stop wasting your time blocking readers' access to this article. I have published it on different platforms. If you don't respect me, I also don't have respect for you. This fight will continue till the end of my life.

Book: Little Boygium, Wonderful Experience: The story of an African immigrant


Life experience in Belgium


Life experience in Belgium


In a country like Belgium, an African needs to be conscious, intelligent, and smart, because Belgium committed the most heinous crime against Africans during the colonial era in the Belgian Congo.’ Under the administration of King Leopold II, over ten million Africans were maimed, disfigured, and killed.


When Polish-American Hilary Koprowski claimed to have discovered vaccines against smallpox in the 1950s, he quickly went to Congo. He injected thousands of children with the contaminated vaccine of Aids and Ebola viruses. Also, a contaminated vaccine against leukemia was used on Congolese children.


The Germans used blacks for the most sinister experiments during their occupation in Togo, a small country in West Africa, while South Africans suffered a similar fate at the hands of the Netherlands and Britain. The reason AIDS has killed thousands of South Africans without ceasing.


Due to the criminal past of colonial leaders, including Belgium, when the African community came to me to investigate a notorious hospital in Antwerp called ‘Stuivenberg’, the reason why any African who goes there doesn’t come out alive, I considered it a serious case to follow.


The fear of Africans in Europe, to confront authorities whenever something wrong happens to an African, has given automatic license to governments and nationals to treat Africans the way they like with impunity.
 

As a matter of fact, since many Africans in Europe don’t have a common platform to express their grievances and crimes against them, their situation has never improved.


When I stepped into the hospital, what I experienced made me believe what the African community was saying. 


"The doctors at the hospital deliberately kill the African patients to remove their organs for the desperate Belgians on the waiting list for an organ transplant." I wasn't welcomed. It was one of the toughest moments of my life.


I revealed this investigation in a small book called ‘An African in Antwerp,' then later updated it to ‘Little Boygium-Wonderful Experience.’ 


When the publication reached the office of ‘Stad Antwerpen’ (Antwerp City), one of the officials, Els Bruyndonckx, confronted me over the article and called it a ‘Stupid article.’ Why? According to her, the husband is a journalist who wouldn't publish such a stupid article.


“Well, your husband is a journalist, but he is not an African; moreover, the crime committed against Africans is nowhere to be seen in any Belgian newspapers, but one often reads: ‘An African has stolen bread from the supermarket.' I answered.


I have found five mobile phones, three wallets containing money and credit cards. One of the wallets has the 4-digit number required to withdraw an amount exceeding six thousand Euros from the account of one of the owners, yet I didn't use it. 


I handed that particular wallet to the police. The news about this kindness didn’t appear anywhere in the Belgian newspaper. Thank God the woman traced to reward me.


According to Els, due to the publication, people fear visiting Stuivenberg Hospital. The fact is that fear already exists, which is the reason I went to do the investigation. 


Thereafter, I became the number one enemy in Belgium. However, I was very happy because the results of the investigation and the publication were good. The City of Antwerp sent a delegation to the hospital to investigate.


I disguised myself many times and went there during the heat up and saw policemen guiding the hospital. Above all, Stuivenberg Hospital now remains one of the safest hospitals in Antwerp, hardly hearing the death of any African, after my publication. 


If I should ask, sometimes is it worth fighting on behalf of Africans?”
About seventy-five percent of Africans in Antwerp aren't aware that I even went to the hospital at all to investigate, because of a lack of reading. I have lived a life of pain and struggle, putting the life of my family in danger and unhappiness, all because of the search for the truth.


Concerning the ‘truth,’ it is always hard to get someone to support you. The reason is that I have faced and fought this battle alone, but when it comes to crime, it is always easy to get an accomplice, because crime is a business. 


Belgium can pretend they don’t know me; I will also pretend I don’t know them.


Even though since I wrote the book 'Little Boygium -Wonderful Experience,' no one has given a comment but taking into consideration what happened in Antwerp when the book came out, I've personally given my book five stars.






The Stuivenberg Hospital finally closed down

 

On September 18, 2023, one of the Belgian newspapers, "Gazet van Antwerpen," came out with a publication that Stuivenberg Hospital will be permanently closed down and the final patients are being transferred to another hospital, the ZNA Cadix.

 

The short article about the decision of the authorities to close the hospital doors to patients was never made public. "The entire moving operation brings a definitive end to 138 years of the Stuivenberg Hospital," the statement read.

 

What I do know is that, after my investigations at the hospital, major changes occurred to make the facility a better place. However, hundreds of immigrants are still terrified to visit that hospital because of its past and the stigma that has damaged its reputation.

 

Therefore, I do not doubt that the hospital was closed for this specific reason.
