It’s 8 am. I’ve just woken up from a refreshing night of sleep. I end my yawn with a quick smacking of my lips. Wait. Something feels wrong. I run to the mirror as fast as I can. I stop in front of the mirror. My upper lip. Where is it, I wonder frantically. It does not exist anymore. To my horror, overnight I’ve become a white person. A single tear rolls down my face onto my khaki shirt, khaki pants, and khaki shoes combo.
While nothing can justify the savage killing in Woolwich yesterday of a man since confirmed to have been a serving British soldier, it should not be hard to explain why the murder happened… . It should by now be self-evident that by attacking Muslims overseas, you will occasionally spawn twisted and, as we saw yesterday, even murderous hatred at home. We need to recognise that, given the continued role our government has chosen to play in the US imperial project in the Middle East, we are lucky that these attacks are so few and far between

They made us think that Africa was a land of jungles, a land of animals, a land of cannibals and savages…they were so successful in projecting this negative image of Africa, those of us here in the West of African ancestry, the Afro-American, we looked upon Africa as a hateful place…Why? Because those who oppress know that you can’t make a person hate the root without making them hate the tree. You can’t hate your own and not end up hating yourself. And since we all originated in Africa, you can’t make us hate Africa without making us hate ourselves…And what was the result? They ended up with 22 million Black people here in America who hated everything about us that was African.
