Thank
YOU Sista, that's just what he wants to read, in fact he is telling me to include a bunch of feedblack, good or bad (he is not thin-skinned) for him to review b4 he will even respond to the 2nd question.
So, Bro. Jalili and anyone else, please share more substantive thoughts on what he's written, that's what he's really asking me to send him, he's as eager to read
your words as you are to read his! OK?

There we were thinkin it was a loose-loose situation and here comes Mr. Acoli to put some positive light to it.
And i must recognize he has made some great points. genious!!
I think his conclusion comes from the belief, from the faith on the people's intelligence. He doesnt think we will be fooled by a Black face forever, for you can fool some peoples sometimes but you cant fool everybody forever. So some poeople, i hope everybody, will eventually see the trick and even gain a whole new understanding of politics!
On the other side, i also think "fantasy" is not always bad, fantasy makes children believe they can do anything, and cant they? So providing them of the image of a Black man "ruling" a country aint such a bad idea. We all know what low expectations can do to our children.
On the other hand... i know im being negative here, im only 23, and i should be idealistic but, from my experience, it seems to me that people in the world are growing more tolerant to situations that once could have light a bonfire.
This is what i have seen in my country, like when our former president decided to go to war in Irak and act a fool in front of us all, the police beated our behinds like they had not since dictatorship, and youth invaded and looted supermarkets....and then after a few weeks everything calmed down and everybody is back into their daily non political lifes.
and what about the reaction people had after Katrina in the states? what about the jena 6?
I know there were a lot of movements and demostrations, but i wonder how would people have reacted to a Katrina in the 60's-70's.
what have changed?
But i hope he's right! |
