Subject: London Mayor's African Diaspora Conference
Greetings Afrikan family
I want to raise a matter of serious concern and if not
dealt with is going to put Afrikan people in serious
jeopardy
Yesterday 19/2/09, I went to City Hall to a conference
titled African Diaspora Conference and whilst I didn't
go there expecting a radical, revolutionary conference, I am
telling you that I left in a state of shock
Let me state that we are in serious danger from our sisters
and brothers from the continent who have come here and are
getting comfortable jobs with the council and other places.
Brother Abu often speaks of it on Galaxy Radio and yesterday
I had first hand experience of it. Let me say that if we do
not take this matter serious we and our children will indeed
see the Rivers of blood forcasted by Enoch Powell in this
country.
The conference was chaired by an Afrikan Pastor Nims Obunge
MBE (chamber). He was going to meet fellow collaborator in
selling Black people out Desmond Tutu after the conference.
A number of continental Afrikans were involved in the
planning of the conference . There was absolutely no
Afrikans speaking at the conference, so after the 3rd white
person had spoken and I saw a white woman arriving who was
announced as the next speaker, I raised my hand and stated:
"I thought this conference was about the Afrikan
disapora and yet we have heard nothing from any Afrikans,
you have 4 white people telling us things, this is
outrageous, when do we get to say what we want to say"
The Afrikan chair, regurgitated some nonsense about the
workshops and us remembering that we are there for the
benefit of our children. He was clearly oblivious to the
fact that white peoples agenda could never benefit our
children or our people. In the workshops which followed I
was spoken to by an elder who praised me for speaking up.
She said that before I spoke, she turned to the Afrikan
sister who had been identified as part of the planning group
and asked her why there were no Black people speaking, the
sister told her that she did not have to be at the conferene
if she didn't like it; the elder was rally glad that I
spoke up.
Our workshop refused to collaborate with the Mayor's
agenda and told the brother running the workshop of the
dangers of Afrikans colluding with their own exploitation
and oppression, we asked him to feed back that we were not
going to cooperate without being able to decide the agenda.
When he fed back from the workshop he told the meeting what
he knew the white people wanted to hear and not what we had
said, so myself and another sister had to stand up and tell
the meeting that he did not feed back what we had said in
our meeting.
I am sending you this information because this type of
outrageous behaviour is going on across the country and is a
very serious threat to our well being as a people. What was
frightening was that it was not only older Afrikans with
this mentality but the younger ones were just as uninformed
about who they are and what is expected of them. If they
could advance theri career or business then all was well.
They were not even listening to objections. It was clear
that if Massa said "Jump they would ask how high."
Clearly Afrikans who are aware must now come out of our
comfort zone to deal with our own people otherwise we will
be sold once again and our children and gandchildren will
die in the streets of London .
Remember what goes around comes around, how will we respond
this time, will we sit back and allow ourselves to be sold
again.
This is very serious, please pass on to others.
