Any “conscious” black African should know thoroughly all the matters cited in this sad article, and be revolted for all the wrongs the elected leaders of the Western World are doing in Africa today!

The Democrats and Republicans are really 2 sides of the same coin! They act alike, and as hard as Kerry tried to sound different than Bush, in fact they talked alike! This presidential election was a sham! Kerry and Bush pretended to be enemies, but they both, actually, find no excuses to deny safe and sanitary living conditions to our people in Africa and the Caribbean so the corporate powers-that-be (that undo the democratic decisions of the American people anyway) can pocket profits!! The Clinton and Bush Administrations both ignored the Intelligence evidence against Osama Bin Laden and Al-Queda, and with a student paper (a 12 years document) Bush & Co attacked and invaded Iraq without the Democrats opposing their rationale for rushing to this war so US-Oil Corporations get big money once more… Well-known African Americans just had any good common sense to drag their community to vote in America. How many times the Democrats candidates they voted for turned around and did the opposite of what they promised to them?

In this context of US governmental corruption, how the desperate poor Black Africans around the globe should feel toward this presidential election?? It’s clear the abuse of power is characteristic of white men rule. So, as the author of this article eloquently said, black African people would be wise enough to rely on their own self-determination! Indeed, Black political consciousness in more than awareness of the Democrats and Republicans exploitation of our poeople along with their meaningless elections, it’s the ability to organize radical action to secure Black control of our own natural resources, economy, politic and societies period.

Great post brother Ayinde!
