Why Joe Biden Needs To Call Every American President A Racist Before Trump


Why Joe Biden Needs To Call Every American President A Racist Before Trump

Biden accuses Trump of racism, an issue he couldn't solve in his entire life in America until changes after the murder of George Floyd



It's now on air, television and in the newspapers, Joe Biden accusing Donald Trump, a racist American president, promoting racism in the United States of America. 


According to Joe Biden, the kind of Trump as president has never been realized in the political history of America, saying Trump lacks leadership skills to handle the coronavirus crisis in America. 


Politics is said to be a dirty game but I think people will not dispute the fact that it is also full of hate, hypocrisy, lies, and deceptions. 


I don't care who is the president of the United States of America, since every American president, whether Democrat or Republican, commits a crime in Africa.


Today, Joe Biden who wants to kick Trump out of the office and become the next American president is calling Donald Trump a racist. 


Institutional racism has been in America decades after the abolition of slavery, yet no American leader I know, including Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Obama, etc, did anything significant about it to change the situation in America.




Obama was the 44th president of America and Joe Biden was the vice-president. For eight years what did Obama and Biden do to improve the systematic abuse and oppression of African-Americans, until the brutal murder of George? 


Why is Joe Biden now using George Floyd's death for a political campaign against Trump? Would he call Trump a racist if George Floyd hadn't been killed? This is what I mean by the hypocrisy of politics.



There are so many records revealing the systematic killings of African-Americans by white police officers. 


According to an old publication that appeared in the 'Washington Examiner,' on October 1, 2016, "Murder far worse for blacks under Obama."


The paper explained further that, "Donald Trump's pitch for black votes is that the condition of African-Americans is terrible decades after being failed by Democratic policies." 


The problem with Americans is, they don't care whether the US government commits a crime in Africa or not. They only analyzed the political issues in the country and decide who to vote for.


However, being an African writer, from a continent that has suffered a great deal at the hands of foreign governments, including the United States of America, I consider Joe Biden a hypocrite since he failed to call other American presidents Racists before Trump.


And I strongly believe that true Americans will never vote for Joe Biden because he is a hypocrite.

THE PRIDE OF OUR GENERATION AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN

We are in a generation of disobedient children compared to our time. We, the people born between 1940-1970 in Ghana, are the most blessed ones. We are awesome people, and our lives are living proof.


While playing and riding rented bicycles, we never bothered to wear helmets. We played Oware, Ampe,  Kwaakwaa (Hide and seek), asosor, tumatu (Ghanaian games), and skipping rope, etc, without thinking about television, video, or computer games.

After school (those days, we went to school two times a day), we played until dusk, but never watched the world (Television) by locking ourselves up in a room. We played only with our real friends, not with www.com friends.

If we ever felt thirsty, we drank tap water or stream water; bottled water didn't exist, but there wasn't any Ebola or pneumococcal meningitis. We never got ill, even after sharing the same juice or sweets with four friends

We were happy after our fufu, kokonte, etsew, and ampesi. (Ghanaian dishes.) There weren't any fried rice or 'foes chicken.' We ate rice and chicken only on special days. (Christmas, New Year, Easter, etc.) Even then, we will go anywhere with our fresh chicken legs, head, and wings in our hands, for everyone to know that we've eaten rice.

Nothing happened to our feet after roaming and kicking balls made of rags barefoot. We never used any health supplements to keep ourselves healthy. We used to create our own toys. Our parents were not rich, but they never chased after money.

They just searched for and gave only love. They were proud to see us around them. These days, parents are chasing after money and riches that they ignore the presence of their kids. 

We never used to share our emotions by using emoticons, DVDs, Play Stations, X-Boxes, video games, personal computers, the internet, web chatting, but we had many good friends, and communication was face-to-face.

We used to go to our friends’ homes unannounced and enjoy food with them. We never had to call them and ask for their parents’ permission to visit their home. 

Loving people were near to us, so our hearts and souls were happy. Hence, we never required an insurance policy or fake spiritual support.

We might have been in Black and White photos, but you find colourful memories in them. The ultimate is that we are unique and the most understanding generation because we are the last generation that listened to our parents. And also the first one who has to listen to our children.


I am proud to belong to that noble Generation.

LANCE ARMSTRONG: A FALLEN HERO?


Lance Armstrong



Lance Armstrong

The hot pursuit of fame, money, and success continues to be an obsession. We are in a world where if one doesn't appear on television, you are not classified as a human being.


There are intelligent people, writers, civil servants, engineers, pilots, soldiers, and police, serving their country, but because they don't appear on television, they aren't known, and society gives them little respect and recognition.

It is now a competition. Many people would do everything and anything to be famous. Many female celebrities, because of fame, would open their legs, without underwear, to show their hairy or shaved vaginas to photographers, for the media to get something to write.

The most disgusting thing I have ever seen. I wonder if they are mothers raising children. As one of the world's most respected cyclists, his thirst for fame has led him to deviate. He used banned sports steroids, enhancement drugs and continuously deceived the public.

In his recent interview with Oprah, Lance Armstrong admitted he cheated during most of his famed career and that he bullied people who dared to speak the truth about him.

After denying doping allegations for more than a decade, he said he used banned drugs or blood transfusions during all seven of his victories in the Tour de France. " I will spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologize to people", said Lance Armstrong.

"Do you think this big shame and embarrassment would be the last thing in sports?". Trust me, more is yet to come. Nothing would serve as a deterrent to man. As long as many are thirsty for fame, money, and power, they will do everything to achieve this, regardless of the consequences.

Some are lucky to escape disgrace, but many will be exposed. We should be prepared to read more such news in the future. Lance Armstrong has disappointed his fans.

Please don't let the children watch violent movies


Children start shooting game until it becomes a reality


Children start shooting game until it becomes a reality 


Despite the fresh demonstration of mankind's amazing progress in the fields of science and technology, television is seen by many people worldwide as being more of a contribution to a child's behavior on moral issues than effective education. Could this be true or otherwise?


Extensive research by Paul Witty, a professor emeritus of the school of education at Northwestern University in America, showed that children spend fifteen to sixteen hours per week watching television. Thirty-eight percent of parents think it is getting worse.

Asked whether television offers enough, not enough, or too many various types of programming, respondents said, "There were enough escape and laughs, but not enough education." It is sad to note that some parents allow their children to watch more hours of television, including adult programs, thus influencing the patterns and lives of their children.

Investigations have revealed that most of the horrific crimes committed by children were the result of watching violent movies. Some children these days prefer a present of toy guns to football as a birthday present. A professor of education at Boston University says that television not only affects a child's knowledge but also his concepts and attitudes.

Television is recommended to be a great teacher; unfortunately, parents do not put the interest of the education of their children in one category and entertainment in another. Children learn from whatever they see. 

One of the most dangerous aspects of television's effectiveness is its "advertisements." Commercials are becoming too much on the screen. For example, adverts on toy guns, video war games, alcohol, and cigarettes all influence children's lives.

To avoid the controversy of whether television is good for children or not, the only solution, of course, is its regulation. Parents should regulate the viewing habits of their children. 

Parents should know the programs their children are watching and must play a key role by explaining and evaluating to their children how watching dangerous movies and commercials could easily draw them into a bad society.

Drawing a child closer to God is something many parents think is not important, but it is very important. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. 

The Holy Bible and the Koran have taken thousands of people from darkness to light. Finally, please, mothers, turn off the set when you are not happy about the program on the screen.
