Niger Africa Violent Over Throw Normal

What Trump’s followers attempted on 6 January is the norm in Africa. Violent overthrow of sitting governments. Little boys have dreams of joining the army then taking over the government by force through what is known as a coup d’etat. 

It is what makes Africa the laughing stock of the world. It’s the reason why when we went to the U.N. building in New York, as part of practicals for Columbia University’s international class, members of the General Assembly walked out when African leaders took the podium. It’s the reason why some black people say I’m not African. I’m American.

The way African leaders behave is a source of shame for the black race. No. Don’t blame colonialism. It’s self-hate. Black people are big on blaming all their woes on racism, but seldom on self-hate that result in killing their own, and never other races. I can say it because I’m black. White people wouldn’t dare, because I’ll call them racists. One day I’ll die at the hands of somebody who will call me ‘sister.’

Back to the violent overthrow of the government in Niger, an African country. On 26 July, rebels overthrew Mohamed Bazoum, president of Niger, a former French colony, south of Libya and north of Nigeria. The African Union, the collective of African leaders is trying to sort the problem but it will not succeed.

The media has it all wrong with their photos. We see young men screaming and shouting, not women, who keep the country going during the foolishness. If you’ve ever lived in Africa, you’ll know that young boys join the fun during demonstrations. They don’t know what protests are all about, but they join and burn whatever is being burnt. In South Africa, they burnt black people called ‘sell-outs’ while so-called liberators cut deals with white murderers. Now putting a burning tire around a black man’s neck is common in all over Africa. Only black men.

Africans hate each other and there’s nothing anybody can do about it. Wait! There is a solution. Bring back the French, the British, Germans and all white colonizers because that is what Africans fear. They were well-behaved during colonialism. What is happening in Niger is normal, just leave them alone. They’ll never lay a finger on the white man, but do mass killings on their own people. Nothing personal, black people just hate themselves. Niger is not the last country to have a coup. More are coming, so let them massacre themselves.
