LUGUBRIOUS READING

I have read the Code Noir. I have read the papal bull of Nicholas V. I have read the charter of imperialism. I have read the Indigenous Code I have read the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran. I have read the racist recollections of ***** swimming bans and France’s human zoos. I have read the dismal pages of French history. I have studied the ideological constructs of negrophobic, supremacist, and racialist philosophers. I have meditated on the sacrifice of the Black Force in the trenches of world wars. I have meditated on the centuries of torment and dehumanization endured by my ancestors. I have pondered deeply the savagery of slavery, the barbarity of colonization, and the capitalist tyranny imposed by the demons of Western democracy. I have meticulously leafed through and examined every blackened page of the slaver, colonialist, imperialist, and racist history of the West’s slave-trading nations. I have journeyed across the Earth to affirm that Black skin remains the most despised of humanity. Imperialist Western powers bear responsibility for every human catastrophe that falls upon Africa. They sow chaos so the bloodiest dictatorships may thrive. They sow Satanism so every shade of decadence, disguised as progress, bursts from the bowels of hell. They have always fed on the wild plunder of Africa’s riches. They have always treated Africa as a reservoir of raw materials and a free bank of human organs. They divide, steal, rape, plunder, burn, massacre, genocide, demonize, assassinate, Whomever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want, in Africa.
