Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: BlackLives Matter Awarded Olof Palme Human Rights Prize

 Fact: Black Lives Matter has attracted a lot of unhelpful negative attention from White Supremacist echo chambers and right-wing journalese.

What the BLM critics have in common is pretty much what you'll find here , that they (BLM folk) are basically God-forsaken, good -for-nothing "Commies", Marxists, Militants, and just as Vincent Adepoju says about our dear Fulani Herdsmen, so say the most ardent critics of our BLM Brethren, that they are "radicalised and militarised" insurgents, a threat to democracy and anathema to the American way of life.

So say the BLM critics who are busy resurrecting the spectre of the McCarthy era of the Communism scare. This is what happens in today's USA, when a Black man, Black men get up to take a stand against racism and the sort of police brutality that was videoed and shown on world wide TV for all to see.

The new McCarthy era dates back to the type of propaganda that was invoked against Brother Barack Obama when he announced his intention to become President of the United States of America: I read in more that one propaganda website that Brother Obama was "the illegitimate son of Malcolm X."

Exactly as Malcolm said at that Black Unity Rally in Harlem, that whenever some Africans in America, African-American Brothers and Sisters want to get together in peace and love, the African way, you'll always have the White Man there as the first to oppose that kind of getting together. That kind of White Man has not changed much since Malcolm's time; he certainly hasn't changed his skin or his Klan morals for the better

With regard to what Baba Kadiri says here, Allan, a Facebook friend made this observation - the ration is of course terribly exaggerated, and in our phone chat with Baba Kadiri this evening I agreed with all the points that he made about this matter, and I have urged him to make the same points here. There can be no point of disagreement about the last point he made to me this evening, his wry comment that the Rwanda Genocide is another tragic event that merits our working together in Peace and Harmony under the banner of Black Lives Matter…

In a world where the praxis is all lives matter except that of the Black Man, it will be logical to counter that praxis with Black Lives Matter. No other racial group is being wilfully asphyxiated or shot dead by the US police in the street except the Black man, am I wrong?

PS

I should like to remind us that whilst Pan-Africa and Africa-America is happily celebrating the recognition, reward and endorsement of the work being done by The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, we should also be painfully aware that there are forces that are still violently opposed to the existence of Black Lives Matter, some of them still "Loving one brother and killing the other "among We the People Who are Darker than Blue, simply out of frustration and racial (racist) hatred, and others who are less violently, but still strongly opposed to BLM on the flimsy, not so well thought out objection (excuse) that Black Lives Matter is too exclusively Black, not sufficiently inclusive of all humanity (I-manity) and that the movement should be expanded to embrace, under one umbrella, the idea that "All Lives Matter"

Then there are those who say they are opposed to the people in BLM on principle and are also opposed to some of values of the Olof Palme Foundation that Awarded The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation the prize, on these grounds, and that among other things they stand accused of anti-Semitism, and sympathies with both Marxism and totalitarianism.

The battle against all forms of racism will continue - it is a just War, and the battle cry is luta continua; vitória é certa !

Delightful news indeed that the prize was awarded to The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation with an emphasis on the motivation for awarding the prize "peaceful civil disobedience against police brutality and racial violence".

This has to be emphasised as a corrective to some of the enemies and critics of Black Lives Matter who have mostly linked the movement to looting and burning

More on this in speeches made at the award ceremony
