Re - "Puss and dog they get together, what's wrong with loving one another?" ( Bob Marley
Just a little thought, in exactly this order:
From the ongoing
debate about Racism // Racism in Sweden - in Svenska Dagbladet, Sweden’s premiere conservative
morning newspaper (the arch rival of the more liberal Dagens Nyheter) after the everlasting whining about Antisemitism and The Holocaust and about the
rest of us the other survivors comes this challenge that offers the possibility
of a new beginning for Sweden: "Follow Finland - ban racist organizations"
'"Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm" ( Shelter from the storm)
In South Africa, the melody was “Black is Black, I want my country back”.
I’m thinking way back of Brian Isaacs and Bayete.
I'm a-thinking of Black Brotherhood.
I'm thinking of White Aryan Brotherhood and that on the basis of just name and title there should surely not be anything wrong with that?
The question is, the question remains
and this is the question: Shouldn’t racist organisations be banned everywhere?
I’m sure that President Trump would agree that racist organisations should be banned everywhere, especially in the United States, even if there are “fine people” in some of them and of course, very fine people is his own electoral home base.
(BTW,
Trump shouldn’t mind Biden nominating retired black and beautiful General Lloyd Austin as
his Defence Secretary. Biden is now fully awake and hustling votes with the cunning of a serpent;
he wants to make sure that he and the Democrats have a working majority in the Senate,
so that if he’s lucky he won’t have to be
sitting in the Oval Office as a lame duck president. Biden is nominating so
many people of colour and other minorities, and Biden has no time to waste. Fake news: My Republican friend told me that having stolen the election Biden and his son Hunter intend to grant American passports and American citizenship to ten million Chinese tourists before he leaves office. Biden is in a great hurry to grant
citizenship to the eleven million undocumented souls, as soon as possible, so
that in future elections they will all show their gratitude by voting for their
benefactors, the Democrats who granted them citizenship in Obama’s Promised
Land. From O’Biden's point of view it should no longer be as Malcolm said, that “Our
forefathers weren't the Pilgrims. We didn't land on Plymouth Rock; the rock was
landed on us.”
I have taken
the liberty to paraphrase this short excerpt
“Organized racists and Nazis are a
threat to democracy in our society. Through their activities, racist and Nazi
organizations scare others into silence, which we have several outrageous
examples of. Sweden should be a tolerant society, but we should not be tolerant
of those who exploit the freedom in our society to spread racism”, a short excerpt
from Prime Minister Stefan Löfven’s longer statement, to paraphrase and
adjust what our venerable Prime Minister said and to make it relevant to the
ongoing situation in many an African country in which various ethnic entities
have been willingly and sometimes through colonialism and colonial borders have
been unwillingly and unhappily - for better or for worse, till death do us part, welded together into single nations that are still being plagued by “Tribalism” which Prince Nico Mbarga has aptly referred
to as a “chronic disease”
During any electioneering
campaign, apart from Madiba Nelson Mandela, which African politician arrives at
his ethnic home base to preach something like this:
“Organized
tribalists and ethnic chauvinists are a threat to democracy in our society.
Through their activities, tribalist organizations scare others into silence,
which we have several outrageous examples of in the history of our country,
this country. We should live in peace as a tolerant society, but we should not
be tolerant of those who exploit freedom of expression to spread tribalism, tribal bigotry and hatred”
