Requiem for Mother Dearest

Image
Where do mothers come from? I have always pondered this question. All humans come from planet earth, of course. But, what of mothers? They have this uniqueness about them that makes me wonder if they could only have come from earth like everybody else. For one thing, everybody that breathes on earth came out of a mother. Even the Pope, the President and the most powerful men and women on earth -- all those men and women of pomp and pageantry. Everybody must have done their plus or minus nine months in the womb of a woman. Every individual was nursed as an infant in the warm arms of a mother. Whenever you were hungry, mother was there. Whenever you felt fear, mother was there. Whenever you were in perplexity, mother was there. Mother was the one who would sacrifice everything to make you into a person of worth. My own mother was barely out of her teens when she married my father, a much older man. Mother was 19 when her first child was born. She said she was preparing for

How France Robs Africans of their Patrimony

  For the records: I am no hater of France. This is the first line of defence for scoundrels. As a matter of fact, I hate nobody on earth – not the French, Europeans, Americans, Chinese, Japanese or anybody else. I am a humanist and international socialist. I believe in human solidarity. I had the benefit of a French Government scholarship which enabled me to have some of the best education in France that anyone could boast of. I love France, its cultures and peoples. But I can never tolerate the historic injustices, rapine and enslavement that France has meted out and is still meting out, to the African people. Of course, Africans have themselves to blame, by and large, for allowing themselves to be raped in such a wanton manner. A few centuries ago France was the leading continental power in Europe. After the 1789 French Revolution Napoleon Bonaparte became master of Europe. A man of great ambition, he aimed to bring all of Europe under French hegemony. He almost succeeded
