This is the ugly truth

Alfred Simba Tome

Since time immemorial, colour has played the most significant part in the existence of human beings.

It has been the basis on which mankind is judged and treated.

Because of the colour of their skin, people of African descent have been labelled “black”, which is also the metaphor for darkness and all evil things.

Another race, which sees itself as superior, labelled itself “white” — signifying purity, taintless, perfection; although genetically it is pink in colour.

Other races, especially “black” people, sometimes feel that they have to betray their own in order to be accepted by the “white” men.

Some people of African origin have gone through their whole lives feeling inadequate and ashamed of their identity. They blame their governments for it.

Some even take advice from the “white” men.

The whites create division among us.

They used the same technique when they colonised Africa.

The moment of truth is upon us.

The black men must not be used to further the interests of the whites.

We should not be lured by their money.

Africans should not be foolishly funded to form opposition parties, to write and report negatively about our continent.

It is time to wake up from our slumber and educate ourselves. It is time to revolutionise our way of thinking and see ourselves and accept who we are and embrace our identity as Africans.

Now is the time to stop deluding ourselves because whether we like it or not, we share the same history.

This way, Zimbabweans will unite as one people. Rise up and shake off the shackles of oppression, both mentally and tribally, and march to total victory.

Malcom X said, “Whites can only help us destroy ourselves, but they cannot join us”.

We will never know where we are going, until we know where we have been.

Brothers and sisters think, think and think again.

Are you a true revolutionary? Do you understand what Mao Tse-Tung meant when he said, “The enemy will never advise you correctly. Whatever the enemy says is the right thing to do is totally false.”

How many times have you been told of “there is no rule of law in African governments, there is no democracy in Africa, there is violation of human rights in Africa”?

The whites utter these ugly statements so that the shallow-minded Africans can rise up against their kinsman and destroy unity and comradeship.

This is what has befallen Iraq, Libya and now Syria. These were fast-developing countries. They are now a sorry sight, beautiful infrastructure razed to the ground. Children being butchered day-in, day-out.

In the meantime, the West is smiling and looting oil.

This is what opposition parties are being funded to do.

The enemy will never tire until the black man is completely eradicated from the face of the earth. Why do I say so?

Let me take you back to the ugly history of the heinous, immoral and Purrloin act which has affected the Africa economy to this day.

In 1712, Willie Lynch, a white slave owner in the West Indies, was invited to speak to a group of Southern slave owners who were having difficulties controlling their rebellious slaves.

In his speech, Willie Lynch outlined the methodology he employed on his Caribbean plantations to ensure obedience, subservience and loyalty from his slaves.

He said, “Let’s make a slave. The social being called the negro. What do we need? First we need a black nigger man, a pregnant nigger woman and her baby nigger boy. Second we need to apply the method we use in breaking a horse.

“We reduce them from their natural state in nature, we break their close dependence on each other and the needs of their offsprings. We break that natural string so that we may be able to get from them useful production for our business and pleasure. Let’s make blacks distrust blacks but make it necessary that your black slaves — that the nigger trusts us, make the nigger depend on us. The niggers must love, respect and trust only us. Break the mind completely, but keep the body to provide the work for us and our economy.’’

Brothers and sisters, Lynch’s speech is self explanatory. He clearly stated the way in which white people could change the course of nature by reducing the black man to nothing.

This was meant to take away the black man’s natural state of independence and create a new one. This state of dependency would enable the white man to use blacks for their maximum benefit.

In order for this to be possible, they needed to destroy the black man’s ego by breaking him mentally. They kept him physically strong because his physical strength was needed to till their fields.

All these evil deeds were done to our ancestors.

Now, African opposition parties are being sponsored for the regime change agenda by the West. This is the ugly truth my brothers and sisters.

You are forming new political parties, who is funding you? Where are you getting these hundreds of million dollars? Where has your revolutionary ideology gone?

The white man is using the shallow-minded black man to destroy his own brothers and sisters and create the Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Syria of our time.

Most of the United States’ ambassadors to African states are black African-Americans who dance to the tune of the white man.

ln 1822 in Virginia House of Delegates, another slave owner — Senator Henry Berry — said, “We have as far as possible every avenue by which light may enter the slave’s mind. If we could extinguish the capacity to see the light, our work would be complete.”

My African brothers and sisters who are in the Western-sponsored opposition political parties, if the white man won’t treat you right, what makes you think he will teach you right?

The ugly truth is that the white race from the West embarked on a mission to keep black people completely divided. So far, as far as Mr Berry is concerned, their mission has been successful.

The new parties have lost the path of the revolution. Their leaders are saying they want to give the recently acquired land back to the whites.

Yet history tells you that when slavery was abolished in America, slave owners were rewarded and compensated for the loss of “the black man – the beast of the field”. The federal governments regarded the black man as property, not humans. Sadly, the slaves have not been rewarded for their toil and all they went through.

In Africa, the white imperialists grabbed our land. Our ancestors lost their land, cattle and even their civilisation. They were forcibly made to lose their heritage and pride.

When we took it back, the white man cried foul. Britain and America said Zimbabwe should compensate the former white farmers.

The white men are a bunch of cold-hearted, stiff-necked and ungrateful people who carry in their hearts unpopular legislation like the “Land Apportionment Act”.

They even have the guts to impose illegal economic sanctions on Zimbabwe for acquiring their land.

Brothers and sisters, the white man will never let you choose your own destiny. They will continue engaging in sabotage and create disturbances in various ways.

The white man wants to control our destiny and actions through counter-revolutionary parties. Chairman Mao Tse Tung said, “True revolutionaries should support whatever the enemy opposes and oppose whatever the enemy supports.”

As much as the enemies who were carrying guns are gone, we should not take the enemies who do not guns lightly, the are still enemies. This is the ugly truth.

Let us defy the enemy and keep advancing. Hardship brings success.

When dark clouds appear in the sky, know that they are only temporary; the darkness will soon pass and the sun will shine.
