Recently, the president of the United States of America, Mr Donald Trump, made one of his lifetime jokes on Africa, just like his ancestors. This almost set the Africans’, especially Nigerians’ social platforms on fire.
I call it one of his lifetime jokes when man referred to Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, as a lifeless president. Most Africans and most people around the world who reason in the right direction didn’t find it either funny or serious. Instead, they referred to it as the left over assignment of Trump’s ancestors. The statement is just from one of the raciest people in this century.
When I was
thinking about the non-etiquette speech, I remembered an event that happened 1944.
On16th of June, 1944, America showed its greatest barbaric act on Black Race in
Alcolu, South Carolina
Unforgettable Unforgivable
This young black was only 14 years old at the time of his execution by electric chair.
70 years later, his innocence has just been officially recognized by a judge in South Carolina.
From his trial to the execution room, the boy always had his Bible in his hands while claiming his innocence.
George was unfairly accused of murdering two White girls (Betty 11 and Mary 7), whose bodies had been found not far from the house where the boy and his parents lived. At that time, all the members of the jury were white. The trial lasted 2H30, and the jury made the decision of his sentence after 10 minutes.
The boy's parents, threatened, were barred from taking part in the trial after being ordered to leave the city.
Prior to his trial, George spent 81 days in detention without the possibility of seeing his parents for the last time.
He was imprisoned alone in his cell, 80 kilometers from his hometown.
His hearing of the facts was done alone, without the presence of his parents or a lawyer.
George's electrocution charge was 5,380 volts on his head. Imagine what such an electric shock can have on a young child's head.
Hi My name is ....
My Name is George Stinney Jr. ,
I died at 14 on June 16th 1944.
Youngest black man to be committed of a crime ,
Thats how I lost my life.
They think I killed two girls ,
age 11 betty june binnicker and Age 8 Mary Emma Thames,
all because I was near them giving a street name.
George Stinney Jr. to be exact ,
Youngest to be executed ,
The shortest to reach the metal hat.
They said I could go home as long as I admit to it,
I was hungry and I was missin' my mommas cookin'.
So I did come to find out it was the color of my skin
they were to lazy to blame it upon any other man.
My name is George Stinney Jr.
I died at 14 , June 16th 1944
My name is Emmitt Till

My name is Emmit Till ,

If i hadn't given her a compliment i would've still been alive.
My name is Malcom X , ,
a human rights activist.
Assinated because they couldn't stand the truth,
Why not if violence is built in all of you?
You can't separate peace from freedom
because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom,
Black and white violence is all over the states ,
They use us balck men as their baits.
We need to come as one
before the world is done.
Or we all will end up extinct
like the dinosaurs from early B.C

assinated February 21 at Washington heights NYC.
My name is Trayvon Martin ,
You Must've seen me on a milk carton.
Yep That's me ,
The one who got shot because a dude felt threaten.
When all I had was a bag of skittles and an arizona can,
Aren't you glad to be an american?
while they let him free,
for doing "a good deed",
while my family in grief of a boy that's 17.
No One wanted to speak ,
not even the police providing much evidence to prove him guilty.
Why me?
I was working on achieving my dream.
Was it because I'm black
or a way to earn a golden plack.
My name is Trayvon Martin
died February 2012

My Name is ME ,
the change of history ,
me fearing police is unneccessary.
STOP MURDER BY POLICE.
There's to much violence in our black community ,
and I want to stop it correctly.
I don't want to see my black brothers in jail as a cry for justice.
When the police should be the ones committed ,
not roaming the streets finding a new target to hit.
As blacks we stand for nothing , because the colors of our skins.
So put the guns down and grab eachother hands.
As one we can create justice.
My name is the world ,
and I want all this black violence to end.
Now, who blames Trump for calling a black president a lifeless person? Who blames him for doing his ancestral assignment? I have no blame for him. I just question myself “why should African leaders be running to white world to seek salvation?
