THERE IS NO PLACE FOR RACISM ANYWHERE IN THE 21st CENTURY

I continue to question the sensibility of those who claim there is no more RACISM (especially against people of African descent) in 2023. I just saw a video of a young Gymnast in IRELAND from early 2022 who was literally skipped from receiving a medal as if she did not exist. Several Caucasian kids before and after her were given medals, and she was skipped. You can see in the video how confused the little girl was .....as if "what did I do wrong?" Africans in the West have been asking this question for centuries, including in 2023.... what did Africans do wrong for them to be treated as if they are invisible.....

Those who coined "Black Life Matter" are not saying other lives don't matter. What they are asking is, "Why are we being treated as if our lives don't matter."

The only excuse of the lady is that it was an error - very convenient https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcJkuWOhFtM .... see the video yourself and see how it is almost impossible for this to happen without it being a deliberate act......

Those of us who work and live among predominantly Caucasians in the West live the reality of this every day... You are ignored, you are not supported, you are excluded - many, deliberately or through a pre-conceived mindset that shows up naturally to those perpetuating the behavior, and you are denied opportunity given to your Caucasian counterparts on a platter of gold. you are called inferior to your face, you are second-guessed many times when you show exceptional record - they attempt to attribute your success to others or make a concerted effort to dismiss, diffuse, or counter your success.....

Racism has no place in the current human dispensation. We all MUST choose to stamp out this evil. No one is born with hatred, you learn it.... we should continue to educate those perpetuating it or those abating it by denying it exists. It is a LOSE-LOSE strategy for any organization, community, or nation that allows it to reign...

STATE OF THE NATION - Nigeria takes one step forward, and ten steps backward...

I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...

WAR SERVES NO GOOD ENDING - AT LEAST, NOT FOR THE WEST

Warmongers are about to escalate the crisis in the Middle East . These people appear clueless about the cost of war. The U.S. Congress will not fund another war, including politicians on both sides. There is opposition to another war anywhere. They want to use brute force to compel Congress to act - they have amassed over 50,000 troops in the Middle East... They are miscalculating, thinking they can go in and come out quickly... they are underestimating their opponent again... The lesson of the last six weeks is not enough. This is another Afghanistan in the making - trillions was spent fighting the Taliban for almost 20 years, only for the Taliban to return the government they have propped up in just a few days of war... They pray (not sure, which god - not the God of the Bible I read, who under grace abhor wars) about going to fight a needless war; they are sending other people's children to go and die, while their own are safe under the protection of the state. Over 7,000 A...
