What About Niggagration?

For the record, I want to clarify I despise the use of the word nigga.  However, I have used it, in conversational dialogue especially in the writing of my fiction. Yet still, I do not, have not and never will use it about myself for I am a man. With this stated, I would like to add that the two most important factors politically that impact in a negative fashion Blacks in America in terms of policy from my purview are abortion and ILLEGAL immigration. Note, the point of clarity being on the adjective ILLEGAL.

I have over my lifetime lived in Africa close to six years: Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa comprising the bulk of that time. But if I am honest, it may be closer to eight if I include the months and weeks I lived or visited Sierra Leone, Malawi, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Niger, Libya, Benin and several other African Nations.  I say this to remind many that most Black Americans have never been abroad let alone lived abroad or even left the urban areas in which they were born in. As such the reason why, I suggested ILLEGAL immigration and abortion are the two most important issues confronting blacks as a collective. Sure, I know about economics, but truth is we have enough loot to deal with that, it is rather our choices dictate we spend rather than save, or even invest in ourselves. For example, just imagine if we return to our value of education pre-civil rights era, or just promoted education as many Asian in America do as opposed to pushing sports and television watching – but I digress.

I will not address abortion this time but rather focus on ILLEGAL immigration.  This is an important point of emphasis for most progressives. What strikes peculiar is that no such significance is directed toward Blacks born in America and that ILLEGAL immigrants seems to be more important to the white liberal (black liberal think like progressives also) elite than black folk born in America, which for my purpose will be coined niggagration. This easy to see in many urban areas populated by and run under progressive policies. In Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco where black homelessness is way out of control and only equaled by drug use and living on the streets in tents eating out of trashcans because rich technocrats that run Starbucks, Facebook, twitter and other similar Silicon Valley type businesses have priced them out of housing affordability. Places like Los Angeles, New York and Baltimore among others are failing our students, in many cases graduating them from high school while most upon graduation cannot read or do math on a 6th grade competency level. Yet all the while going on strike, asking for more money, to be paid higher salaries for poor outcomes. LA where this problem in exacerbated due to over crowed schools the consequence of ILLEGAL immigration and schools that are becoming more segregated by race each year.

People, especially white democrats, have a disproportionate interest in protecting, providing for and taking care of cats that break the law to enter these United States of America and I find such ridiculous. We have problems already that most progressives ignore and do not even attempt to deal with and unfortunately a large corpus of the disenfranchised suffer as a result.

They tell us all immigrants are law abiding and more so than Americans, even Black Americans. This is a lie. First to be here as an illegal, you did so by intentionally breaking U.S. immigration laws. According to statistics from the U.S. Sentencing Commission, ILLEGAL immigrants are far more likely to commit criminal offenses that Blacks born in America. This includes being 22% of all federal murder convictions, 33% of all money laundering convictions and more than 70% of all federal drug possession convictions with intent to distribute. This is not only way less than Black Americans but also all Americans regardless of race. This mean that 22% of all federal murder convictions are committed by non-citizens while represent only 7% of the population. Illegal aliens represented and more than 85 percent of the non-citizens convicted for sex crimes in 2018 and nearly 60 percent of the non-citizens convicted for murder last year. Sadly, many of these events happen in sanctuary cities. The kicker is that although nearly daily occurrences of such crimes are frequent, we are never informed of such by mainstream media. Over the last few weeks, I’m certain most have not heard of the ILLEEGAL alien who raped a 3-year old girl as she slept in her bed, or of the ILLEGAL alien who stole an autistic man’s identity, or the illegal alien selling kilos of crystal meth in Pennsylvania, or of the two ILLEGAL aliens who met a pregnant woman on Facebook and killed her and ripped her baby from her womb, or the three MS-13 gang members, two of which were in the country illegally, who used a machete to decapitate and hack to death a 14-year-old Maryland girl last month , or of the ILLEGAL alien serial killer just indicted on twelve counts of capital murder in the deaths of women ranging in age from 76 to 94 in Texas. This is not over months but rather the last week. The sad point of observation about the murdered 14-year-old Maryland girl is that the two teenage males had been previously arrested by Prince George's County police on May 11, 2018 on attempted murder, attempted robbery, and related charges. But since Prince George’s County is a sanctuary county, officials admitted they defied an ICE detainer and released the immigrants living in the U.S. illegally into the community, resulting in the murdering a child, although they had been accused of attempted murder.

Yet we are told that these are the people we should welcome with open arms, care about them being separated from their children when they break the law via ILLEGAL entry in the country, yet there is no concern for niggagration when Black parents who break the law and are prosecuted never have white Hollywood progressives or east and west coast liberal elites speak up for us when we go to jail or prison for breaking the law. Are Black children not as valued or important? Do our children do not suffer a similar level of trauma when separated from their parents the result of incarceration?

As soon as a fifth child dies in ICE detention we hear about it. But let it be a child shot and killed on the streets of Baltimore or Memphis we don’t. Let a child die because they had the flu in this country and we will not. Truth be told, we have the economic capacity to address the problems impacting US born citizens, but we select to ignore this as a topic of discussion. We see that the economic impact of medical care, education and incarceration for illegals forced on taxpayers is bankrupting many US areas. And regardless if you like or admit it, America does not have an endless availability of resources to service the needs of the multitude of swarms Central and South American migrants. Once upon a time the U.S. had almost eliminated diseases the likes of tuberculosis (TB), dengue fever, hepatitis, and measles, but given the prevalence of these diseases in Central and South American countries, and the incessant trek of migrants entering our nation illegally, we see these diseases on the rise. In Hidalgo County, Texas, where the most illegal aliens are entering the US along the southwestern border, the Health Department is reporting an outbreak of mumps in which 46 cases have been documented. As well the increasing number of cases of Whooping Cough. Again, one would never know about this if you rely on the mainstream liberal media because it defeats their narrative.

We spend as a nation, more than $135 billion a year on providing medical, police and educational services to ILLEGAL immigrants annually. This is loot we could be using to address the servicing the needs of countless homeless living on our streets (a majority of which are Black, veterans and/or suffering from mental health issues including addiction) and the many Blacks and whites in urban and rural areas at the bottom economic pillar of our society. Especially since Blacks and other Americans will have to provide our tax money to provide for these folks. It is not racist or bigoted to state that one feels citizens born in America should be our priority or main concern. But it is racist and bigoted for places with the most homeless where democrats have been in charge for nearly 50 years, to enforce policies that disparitely impact blacks more than other racial ethnic groups. The cities with the highest rates of homelessness are: New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Washington, DC - all progressive strongholds. Even worse for Blacks to remain silient because we are not wise enough to think for ourselves and evalute thhe outcomes of such policies (See LA for example).

All I am saying is that the white privilege you stomp and fuss about is the same white privilege that wants and puts ILLEGAL immigrants over black folk born here. Sure, America has its issues, but it is way, way better than any other country around the world. I can drink water out the faucet without fear of dying. I can have electricity uninterrupted most of the time unless of a natural disaster. I can walk in a field without land mines or mortar shells suddenly being fired from the bush. Leave the country and you will see what I mean, and more importantly see why Africans and Caribbean Islanders come here, do not complain and stack loot, and make America work for them, while many of us born here vote against our own interest, scream racism all day and beg for handouts – we need to do something about this niggagration.

Gabon’s Colonial Infection

Once upon a time ago, a cruel and barbarous colonial power came to Africa with its friends to rape and pillage and murder and spread disease. The year was 1839 and through the nefarious barrel of cannon, France forced the signature of a treaty with local chiefs that gave it powers over the southern coastal regions of Africa which we presently call Gabon. The arrangement was made upon a gentlemen agreement made by Europeans at the BerlinConference of 1885 which awarded all of the territory discovered by Pierre deBrazza to France. By 1910 this area would become French Equatorial Africa, and would encompass the separate colonies of Gabon, Congo, Chad, and Ubangi-Shari was formed. Fast forward to 2016, and although a semblance of independence has been achieved by Gabon and its fellow French colonized compatriots, nothing has really changed. Like the majority of African countries after colonialism, many in the west seldom hear of, mention or concern themselves about Gabon. In typical fashion, independence from France in this case only meant that the regular abuse and impoverishment of its population and rampant political corruption would happen under the rule of a fellow African instead of a European: an Africa which as in most examples is merely a stooge for the former pre-colonial power.

Gabon like much of ex-colonial Africa is a symbol of how a rich endowment in natural resources is used by the very few for their personal wealth while regular citizens struggle daily just to survive. Although the nation has an illiteracy less than 3% and the population is generally well-educated, it has little economic growth namely due to French neocolonial economic policies and nepotism and inefficiency (despite as a nation it maintains the third largest hydrocarbon resources in sub-Saharan Africa). Just like most of the developed world, in Gabon the richest 20 percent hold 90 percent of the wealth with the rest of the Gabonese population fighting for scrapes and living in poverty. This is why the protest have exploded to a new high after the recent presidential election in which many think Ping was defeated by Ali Bongo via classic sleight of hand corruption.

According to the constitution of 1961, Gabon is a republic in which the president and members of the legislature are directly elected. Leon M'ba, the first president of the republic, died in office in 1967 and was succeeded by Omar Bongo whom introduced a one-party system in 1968. Not until popular protests occurred in 1990 was Bongo forced to make revisions to the constitution to legalize multiple parties and reduce the term of office for president from 7 to 5 years. Bongo, was the sole candidate in 1973, 1979, and 1986, yet was reelected president amid charges of fraud in multiparty elections held in 1993. His party won a clear majority in legislative elections held in December 1996 also but political unrest continued. In 1997 the constitution was revised again to re-extend the presidential term to 7 years, renewable once, beginning with the 1998 elections, after Bongo won again.

Ali Bongo has been the President of Gabon since 2009 after his father, and then President Omar Bongo died.  El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba had served as President of Gabon for 42 years from 1967 until his death. After weeks of violence, the Bongo family is cracking down on a popular protest in an effort to maintain its grip over the nation – a country his family ruled over the country for the last 50 years. However, this would be impossible to do if the family didn’t have the tacit and overt support of France.

One could suggest that France is mostly to blame for this upheaval. Mostly as a function of an antiquated Cold War-era policy known as "Françafrique," whereby France props up dictators in its former colonies in exchange for access to natural resources, military bases, and influence. In the case of Gabon, the country's uranium reserves have been particularly strategic for France. Gabon, like many other post-colonial African nations is a sad example of what has occurred throughout much of Africa, in particular Francophone Africa. Moreover, Gabon also has large oil reserves, but its people are poor, and the country has one of the world's highest infant mortality rates.

No matter what occurs, France will always be the main problem. Although it says politically it has attempted and desires to dismantle the incessant caricature of Françafrique, it has supported and continues to maintain a perceived invaluable yet operose relationship with the only family that has ruled the nation since its quasi-independence from France. The question is if Bongo is removed from office by whatever means, what would fill the vacuum? When France has tried to play the “I’m objective card” itself, it can't. Not to mention that France has to keep on propping up the governments of Mali and Chad as well because if they don’t, like in every other place, radical Islamist movements would create terrorist safe havens and likely fill the void (something the Obama Administration has yet to learn).

But this is what history has shown us what France does.  For example, after supporting a war in Biafra, overthrowing several presidents, collapsing Guinea’s economy and bribing leaders to support its interests, France started to lose the control that it once exercised in Africa. This is probably why France uses extortion to make many African countries continue to pay colonialtax to France since their independence still today.

Anti-Bongo protests haven't let up and have been continuous and gaining momentum over the years, in particular from the younger generation of the Nation. Regardless of the opposition, all say Ali Bongo has not let go of the corrupt practices of his father, who amassed huge personal wealth and lived like a boss during his decades in power. Gabon has one of the highest per capita incomes in Africa, largely because of its oil reserves, but as mentioned previously, at least a third of the country lives in poverty.

So what's next for Gabon? Civil war is definitely a petrifying prospect. So is a crackdown that keeps the Bongo’s in power. At some point, France will probably try to broker an outcome, but the situation may get out of hand. Omar Bongo ruled Gabon, now the continent’s fourth-largest oil producer, for 41 years until his death in 2009. Add this to what all African leaders as well as the European political establishment are very much cognizant of (that nations like France need for their countries' resources); it is very likely that the sleight of hand European manipulation game of passing the buck, turning away the eyes and pretending to be objective will only continue.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bongo even adopted the same manipulation tactics once used on them by France. Take the example of Total, the third largest European Oil company based in France. Total is the oldest foreign petroleum company in Gabon and owns 58.28 percent of Total Gabon, with the Gabonese government holding 25 percent and if estimates are correct, it produces between 200,00 to output to 500,000 barrels per day. This is a major card to play to maintain French support regardless of how oppressive the Bongo regime is toward its citizenry.

France will not consider past practices, especially in the age of social media. History has shown that when in trouble previously, France will do anything to make sure it has access to natural resources in Africa. When Africans under colonial rule were fighting to liberate themselves from European colonization, France would frequently use the French Foreign Legion to orchestrate military coups against presidents actually represented and selected by the people of those countries. In fact two such efforts were successfully implemented against the First Presidents of theCentral African Republic and the Republic of Upper Volta  (Burkina Faso). In total since independence from France, Coups have occurred more than 15 times in former French colonies.

But propping up Bongo and his lineage for the purpose of access to natural resources isn’t anything new for France.  The question is how will the everyday citizens of Gabon end this deadly infection?
