Yesterday as I celebrated the Ga cultural/spiritual celebration of Homowo in conversation with Ghanaians and Diasporans speaking on our global responsibility to unity and breaking the cultural, continental and racial divide for the sake of our collective future, I spoke to an elder from Virginia who asked me about how it feels to move back to Ghana as she contemplates her own move back. I explained to her that although the transition has not been easy -watching and listening to the horrors happening in America - I knew that I made the right decision. I spoke of tuning out the horrors but realized that I can not as a #GlobalCitizen tune out the horrors of injustice happening in #MyTwoNations =#America + #Ghana that created who I am nor anywhere else in the world because as Dr. Martin Luther King said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"! #DearWhitePeople we are not our grandparents so don't think we will sit back and allow our children to live a future of continued terrorism in their own nations. It is disgusting what happened in America yesterday at a college campus which is supposed to be a place of higher learning and personal and collective evolvement in building a better future! Too many of us have been living with this reality of the delusion of white supremacy and too many of us are sick and tired of being sick and tired to have this continue! "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will... Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe. " - Frederick Douglass- #Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned - well everywhere is war! Until there's no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation. Until the color of a man's skin is of no significance than the color of his eyes... Me say war! Until the basic human rights are guaranteed to all without regard to race Dis is war" - Bob Marley #WhiteAmericanTerroism #CallItWhatItIs (at Charlottesville, Virginia)
