A LETTER TO THE AFRICAN by POKO POKO

Dear Africans,

Have you ever wondered why FACEBOOK has never given us an app when our brothers and sisters get slaughtered like sheeps and cows in Nigeria or Sudan. WE saw the rainbow flag for gay rights and we have seen the French flag. And I'm sure any western world will qualify for this gesture.Does this mean that we ourselves do not care for the lives of those who die but are poor africans? You of all people jump on the bandwagon; and try to reassure yourselves thatyou are being a human being. NO you are hypocrite; just likethe people who run Facebook. NIGERIANS have been dying and I have not seen anything turn green and white? WHY because ALL of you have become comfortable with the death of poor AFRICANS. Death, becomes death, when it no longer astounds us. At that point the moral campus of humanity ceases to exist.Paris, London, New York, Hong Kong these worlds continue to render your humanity; but Lagos, Abuja, Joberg, everywhere where there is a Black African YOU HAVE NORMALIZED death. The industrial death of poor Africans no longer moves the world and has completely been taken away from the conscious of humanity. YOU ARE ALL hypocrites my African people.Your fervent desire to express remorse for tragedies in the western world, but retain silence for those of your fellow Africans continues to be a symptomatic reality of the disease of colonialism. Your actions are the offspring of your colonial history. Je nesuis pa Charlie, Je suis Wale, Je Suis Tao, Je suis Femi, Je Suis Akiyo, Je suis Karumba, Je Suis Mutale, Je Suis Sampa, Je Suis Adeyo.
I place a proscutory verdict on All Africans for your hypocrisy, your colonialism, and your normalization of the suffering of our continent. I find each and everyone of you guilty!!!I didn't see the Kenyan Flag... I didn't see the Nigerian Flag.. I didn't see the Sudanese Flag. YOU WILL NOT SEE THE FRENCH FLAG ON MY WALL!!UNTIL death, regardless of who the victims is, solicits the same disdain it does when terrorists attack paris. I WILL NOT NORMALIZE THE DEATH OF POOR AFRICANS.I stand in COMPLETE disdain of death. WHERE EVER it exists and wherever it is perpetuated by Terror. From ABUJA To Israel, Syria, Lebanon. I Poko stand against Terror; REGARDLESS OF THE VICTIM- arabs, muslims, christians, blacks, whites, women ,children, jews, hispanics. I STAND FOR HUMANITY.Yours faithfully and for humanity,

Poko Poko
