What has it Mattered? – Kingsley Osajie

I’ve at all times been within the Black Lives Topic problems. This analysis paper is a fraction of my e-book I’m writing concerning the Black Lives Topic.

The phrase Black Lives Topic has received an international reputation. “Black Lives Topic (BLM) is a decentralized political and social motion that seeks to focus on racism, discrimination, and racial inequality skilled through black other folks. Its number one considerations are incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence towards black other folks. It began following the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Rekia Boyd, amongst others. The motion and its similar organizations generally recommend for quite a lot of coverage adjustments regarded as to be associated with black liberation” (Wikipedia).

There were many killings of Black American citizens prior to now; however I believe that of George Floyd went so viral that it sparked an international consideration! After I heard the inside track of George Floyd dying on radio and watched the video in 2020; I used to be traumatized for weeks. I used to be at all times urgent my neck with my arms and believe the ache he went via when that White policeman sat on his neck. Floyd’s ultimate phrases had been: “I will’t breathe….mama…” All the way through the protest of George Floyd dying; I chatted with a Black American (Allen). He advised me that they (the Black American citizens) are like “abattoir” as a result of they’re killed any day and any time with out someone to protect them. He advised me that certainly one of his pals has moved out of USA to Botswana as he may just now not stand the maltreatment and killings of (Black American citizens) as a result of his existence was once now not secure. Allen advised me that he has been to Ghana and when he visited Ghana; he felt at house. The overall factor Allen advised me in 2020 in our chat was once that he was once taking into consideration transferring to Ghana—that he was once placing all his assets in combination to go back to Ghana.

I may just keep in mind that night my brother Vibrant and I had been gazing the inside track of George Floyd’s dying on my pc and we had been surprised to the see the huge protests happening round USA. When my mother heard our screaming of the mammoth crowds of Black American citizens who had been protesting concerning the dying of George Floyd; she got here out of the kitchen and requested us what was once happening. Then we advised her it was once the protest happening in USA concerning the dying of George Floyd. Then she requested who George Floyd was once and we advised her. After gazing the video, my mother requested us a query which I will be able to by no means overlook. “Is that this protest going to prevent the killing of Black American citizens”? Unfortunately, even throughout the protest of George Floyd Black American citizens had been nonetheless killed!

All the way through the protest of George Floyd I used to be on Fb and I noticed the submit made through a Black American. Within the submit he was once thanking God for being in The usa and thanking God for slavery. That if now not he would had been in Africa struggling. After studying the submit I scroll previous it however my thoughts requested me to remind him of one thing. Then I commented on his submit. “It does now not topic when you discuss within the accessory of White American citizens, consume like them, solutions two English names, get dressed like them…the White policeman can items you with a bullet and not anything will occur. The White American citizens nonetheless sees as you a Slave.” One Black American lady responded to my remark pronouncing “Really well mentioned. Please inform him extra.” I watched a video on Instagram of a Black American lady through title Kim Daniels thanking God for slavery. In her phrases she mentioned that if now not for slavery she would had been in Africa “worshipping bushes.” That is to turn you the extent of brainwashing, inferiority complicated and enslaved mentality that has eaten VERY deep into the thoughts of Black American citizens.

My Nice-Grandmother was once offered out to a Eu slave grasp on the age of 7; however one thing took place…and the Eu slave grasp requested that she be returned to her oldsters (I will be able to spare you the main points). Her father (my maternal great-grandfather) advised her what took place and she or he advised my grandmother, my grandmother advised my mom and I’m operating at the tale to make it a documentary for movie. You’ll know the entirety about it once I end writing the tale.

There’s something the Black American citizens fail to know and refuse to recognize. Actually the White American citizens sees you (Black American citizens) as SLAVES; it does now not topic how realized you’re, what your standing is. Your forefathers had been introduced from Africa as Slaves in the course of the send. So it does now not topic when you answering two English names. The ones two English names you’re answering are slave names. It’s so disappointing to peer that Black American citizens really feel “awesome” to Africa simply because they’re in The usa answering two English names and talking within the accessory of White American citizens. However has that helped to switch their narratives? No. Within the phrases Chante Moore, she mentioned: “I see you otherwise. Via a special eye.” And it’s the reality; the White American citizens sees the Black American citizens (of Slave descent) otherwise.

If I’ve my solution to the White Space, I will be able to urge Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to SHUTDOWN the motion of Black Lives Topic motion. What has the Black Lives Topic motion completed? What has the Black Lives Topic mattered? Has the entire protests of Black Lives Topic stopped the killing and maltreatment of Black American citizens? Many occasions have proven that the Black Lives Topic has now not completed anything else. Years in the past I learn on social media the place anyone mentioned that the Black Lives Topic is a rip-off and that the officers within the helm of affairs of Black Lives Topic channel their budget into their pocket for his or her private good points.

All of it is going again to when it began. White other folks purchased slaves from who? BLACK other folks, and who’re those slaves? Black other folks. We offered ourselves out and misplaced our recognize the day this business happened.

A White guy can not have recognize for a race that offered their very own race to different race now not for marriage or higher existence however for slavery. White other folks being sensible sufficient then they concept awesome and received it. Have you ever ever concept it will had been the opposite direction spherical? Just like the Whites may have been on this place at the moment? However one race was once simply smarter at that time limit. Now our forefathers already made that mistake. Are we able to proper it? Sure. How? By way of gaining our recognize and equality and its now not through preventing those White other folks, its about figuring out ourselves and discovering our recognize and in doing so, regrets and blames received’t lend a hand us. Now we need to rise up and earn our respects again, and it’s now not through crying on social media and begging for equality like spoilt small children.

1. Y’all want a Black Country.
2. Make investments extra on Black other folks and Black concepts.
3. Let each and every Black existence depend to you as a Black particular person first sooner than you hold forth it to other folks.

White other folks have each and every proper to be proud and do no matter pleases them. Its best herbal, that’s how other folks act after they see your entire convenience and existence is dependent upon them. What we’re preventing is extra than simply colour factor. It’s extra of mentality issues and it’s some way of the satan placing separation and chaos on this planet so all of us received’t come in combination and be in peace.

Now, one would accurately describe Cynthia Morgan as a Prophetess….she additionally mentioned one thing to mention concerning the present Nigerian President; a commentary this is SO profound and thought-provoking!

Black American citizens are nonetheless observed as SLAVES until lately. In Florida as an example, Governor Ron DeSantis has mandated that “New Florida requirements educate scholars that Black other folks benefited from slavery as it taught helpful talents.”

‘Slave for Sale’

In Illinois, a White highschool pupil classified his Black good friend as a slave. He snapped his Black good friend and posted him on Craiglist as ‘Slave for Sale.’ The advert confirmed the Black pupil in what gave the look to be a cafeteria underneath the phrases “Slave on the market (Naperville)” with the caption “Hardworking thick n—er slave. For da low.” It later went viral. Classmates approached the Black pupil providing a greenback to shop for him. “I’ll purchase you for a greenback,” mentioned one pupil.

Instructor Resigns After Telling Black Scholars They Would Have Been Her ‘Box Slaves‘ if it wasn’t for the Charter, they might be her slaves.

You’ll trust me that during that study room, there have been different scholars from different races. Additionally, that White teenage boy has different pals from different races. The query now could be: why did the instructor now not make this commentary to the Arabic-American citizens, Indian-American citizens, Filipino-American citizens, Chinese language-American, Korean-American, Jewish-American, Jap-American? And why did that White teenage boy now not label his pals who’re Arabic-American citizens, Indian-American citizens, Filipino-American citizens, Chinese language-American, Korean-American, Jewish-American, Jap-American as slaves? For the reason that Asians KNOW their roots; the Asians didn’t come as Slaves to The usa they got here as immigrants for a greater existence simply the way in which the Whites got here from Europe.

Now, something I LOVE concerning the Asians is how they’re united amongst themselves, love themselves, their tradition and deal with their cultural heritage. One thing this is VERY exhausting to search out amongst Black American citizens/Africans. The typical Asian-American is definitely attached to Asia. For instance while you listen the title “Robert Kiyosaki,” “Dennis Liu” “Vera Wang,” “Priscilla Chan” and so forth it offers you a clue that those are Asians and in addition presentations that they know the place they’re coming from. Not like the Black American citizens who solutions two (Slave English Names), does now not know their root and are very disconnected from their roots (unhappy and shameful).

The sour reality is that Black American citizens can not win towards White Supremacy as a result of for each and every management that is available in; they sign up for ALL forces to remember to stay you Black American citizens on their knees since you are slave descendants so you’re nonetheless a slave of their eyes. For instance, when George Floyd was once killed Donald Trump didn’t pop out to handle the Black other folks; it was once Barak Obama that got here out to handle the Black American citizens. That act by myself speaks volumes: it way you aren’t American sufficient. For instance, when a Black American traveled to Spain she was once requested what a part of Africa she was once from after which she mentioned that she is American. The Spanish particular person advised her proper again that she was once now not American sufficient.

Or is it the White pupil who at all times scoffs his Black instructor through retaining a banana peel at the doorway of his instructor? You already know the animal whose favourite fruit is banana.

Is there a Manner Out for Black American citizens?

With a majority of these atrocities and injustices happening towards Black American citizens; is there any answer? Sure there’s. The one manner the Black American citizens can regain their freedom, future and long term is to return again to Africa. Till the Black American citizens come again to Africa there is not any hope for them as a result of your lives don’t topic in The usa. For those who cross to Melaninepeople HQ on Instagram; you are going to see on their web page the video of a Black American individuals who had been manhandle, handcuffed and careworn through the White Policemen. One thing very horrible! An act of slavery, shame and humiliation. Within the video, the Black American lady was once recording her husband been handcuffed through the White policemen. The White policeman got here to her and driven her down forcefully and handcuffed her too.

In Kansas Town, a Black American guy Jon “Mike” Rone Jr. was once stabbed to dying through a White guy whom he was once engaged in an altercation. The police arrested the White guy who killed the Black guy at the explanation why that he (the White guy) was once irritating the peace of our surroundings. Now not that he killed an individual. That obviously presentations that as a Black American you DO NOT MATTER. It does now not topic the way you chant the Black Lives Topic. What has it mattered?

The ultimate time I checked the Black American citizens other folks have Black other folks in govt. However have those Black American citizens been in a position to give protection to the rights and lives of Black American citizens? NO. This Africa you’re shying clear of and pretending to be “awesome” to since you are answering two (English Slave Names) and talking within the accessory White—this is WHERE your therapeutic and freedom lies. Your Mom (Ghana) has opened her hands to welcome you again to Africa. It’s left so that you can go back or now not. You’ll in finding succor and safe haven in African international locations if you select to go back house (e.g. Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and so forth).

Ghana to Black American citizens: Come house. We’ll will let you construct a Existence right here
