OpEd: Dear Unconcerned White Friend By Idowu Ohioze | Sahara Reporters I write to you now because I see you looking at me as I mourn the needless killing of GeorgeFloyd by the police in Minneapolis. READ MORE:
No, I am not embittered by your folly.I feel sad for you because you have chosen to stay perched on your supreme throne and peer at me through
slits on your thick white drapes. Slits small enough so you miss the sublime view that’s visible from down here. The view of life that is only visible when one takes a knee and say loudly – yet with sealed lips: I can breathe now.But I do not fear your guns. No, I will not.
It was your forebearers’ unhealthy scramble for Africa, the land, its resources and its people, that brought us here.You put your knee on our necks, but I plant mine on the earthYou take out lives with your knee but mine sows seeds of justice that will give life to my children and theirs.Now my people storm the streets and you quake at losing control.you still stubbornly hold on to your guns.
