A Quick Note To Kofi Boakye-Yiadom -  On Why Pan-Africanits Must Comment On U.S. Politics

Favourite Nephew,



Wise words. As usual. Cool, la.  Alas, the problem for Africans like me, however,  is that the tentacles of America's military-industrial-complex, extend here, and, regardless of whichever political party in Washington, happens to  occupy the White House, they continue to interfere in our country's affairs, as neo-colonialists, forever eyeing our natural resources.


Favourite nephew, with the greatest respect, and  in all humility,  as a Black  person, and a committed Pan-Africanist, not to comment on their racIst nation's politics, at all,  would be unconscionable.
 

Yes, I concede  that commenting on such matters, might be unwise - but it is how one feels: and it is precisely such unwise actions that have made me who I am. Can't teach an old dog, new tricks. And, I am definitely not a saint (saints, as you are aware, only live in heaven, not on the planet Earth, in any case). Thanks. You are loved - and missed terribly, favourite nephew!
