I'm sure that people are saying I am a racist because of these posts since they go against what we are told about how race relations SHOULD be in the US.
On the other hand, remember I am a francophone, which has been officially certified by the French government.
I wonder how many of the people calling me a racist listen to Radio France International (RFI)? They might want to since RFI broadcasts in one of the two most commonly spoken languages in Africa: FRENCH!
And the other one is English.
As I said in the previous post:
The ethnic groups of Africa number in the thousands, with each population generally having its own language (or dialect of a language) and culture. The ethnolinguistic groups include various Afroasiatic, Khoisan, Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan populations.
So, having a common language is very helpful, even if those langauges happen to be the "imperialistic" ones, Arabic, Portugese, French, or English.
But another thing which is missing (or things that are missing) when I listen to news by and about Africans? Kwanzaa, Odunde, and what's that other one. Oh, yeah, Juneteenth...
There's a bit of local difficulty and the powers that be toss blacks a bone.
Unfortunately, like the ethnic groups in Africa, US blacks are not a monolithic identity.
I wonder how long it will take for the blacks to realize that maybe the people making the ctiticism might be their best friends. Although, they are probably smart enough to realize they are being pandered to.
