BLACK LIVES MATTER
Is it a sin to be black?




Right from time blacks have been victims of discrimination, violence, stigmatization and oppression as well as suppression. Blacks are seen as aliens, as strange, lazy set of apes with no meaningful development. The labour and struggle of Black heroes like Martin Luther King Junior, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley and many more who have fought tirelessly for the emancipation of the black race is now in vain especially in a Country like the United States where many blacks have lost their lives in recent days by unrepentant Policemen who do not believe in racial equality. The Dallas shootings, Police harassment of various black men, even in the UK, harassment of blacks is now becoming a global issue and what has been done to stop this harassment?  
Life is becoming unbearable for many blacks in the United States that claims to be a Democratic Nation indeed.
They accuse Blacks as unproductive and dull animals and yet the America music and entertainment Industry that contributes a chunk of the Nation's budget is dominated by Blacks, even Black students who school in America are known to perform better than the white students.
Africa is so unique and rich that most of our artefacts were stolen and now sits in their museums, we are so rich that many there are influx of many whites to Africa annually either to explore our resources or to come for tourism purpose. They admire our rich cultural heritage.
The truth is that if Blacks should leave the US, a huge revenue will be lost by the United States, even in the world of sports, blacks have dominated many sports especially football, celebrated players like Samuel Eto, Didier Drogba, Thiery Henry, Jay Jay Okocha, Kanu Nwankwo, Paul Pogba and many more are all blacks, Serena Williams is a black, Tiger Woods is a black, Floyd Mayweather is a black, Muhammad Ali the greatest is a black, will Smith is a black and many more. The last time i checked even the US President is a black. But i know the cause of all these anti-black sentiments, i can boldy point accusing fingers at Donald Trump a Presidential aspirant for the Republican Party in the forthcoming Election, who has taken a tough stance against immigrants and blacks especially, even when he was interviewed after the Dallas shooting, he never condemned the harassment rather he said that an attack on US Police Official is an attack on the country. We don’t need a Prophet to tell us that Donald Trump supporters are the major propagators of this attacks on blacks. The world is watching, Blacks all over the world in Africa and the Caribbean are watching. We need to unite as one race and stop these hateful attcaks and harassment, we need to come together as blacks all over the world and support our fellow blacks in the United States becuase without the blacks, the wolrd will be a lonely boring place.
If this anti-black sentiment do not stop, the US will be gearing towards another war.
