Robert Mugabe a Hero for Black Nationalism
By: Jon Adkins
Robert Mugabe, the president of
Zimbabwe, is one of the few strong, Black, world-wide leaders that Black people have to look up to. Remember,
Mugabe is one of the few distinguishing African leaders to defeat the white British colonizers who raided, enslaved and colonized
Zimbabwe. Mugabe, along with Jomo Kenyatta, Kwame Nkrumah and Patrice Lumumba are distinguishing
revolutionary leaders who help free Kenya, Ghana, and the Congo from the white European colonizers. Nelson
Mandela started out as one of those distinguished revolutionary leaders but has now seemed to identify lately with the White
European Neo-Colonialists’ agenda for South Africa. If Nelson Mandela were not identifying with the
Neo-colonialist agenda, he would be voicing strong support for Mugabe. South African whites stole the land
from Black South Africans and murdered millions of Black South Africans in the process. Nelson Mandela
should support Mugabe's agenda. So what is the agenda of Mugabe? In order to have a
clear understanding of the present and an intelligent insight into the future, you must have a clear understanding of what
happened in the past.
For thousands of years Zimbabwe was autonomous and prosperous
under Black ruler ship. The Empire of Great Zimbabwe or Monomotapa was a mighty kingdom between the mid-13th century
and the early-17th century.
It was a highly advanced civilization that built an extensive and sophisticated network of monuments made of granite
stone without using mortar (The same building process that our ancient ancestors used to build the Great pyramids of Giza
in Kemet now called Egypt). Great Zimbabwe became a dominant power in the region, in large part due to
the lucrative gold trade with the Arab world. However, European settlers (mainly the Portuguese) destroyed
the trade and began a series of wars which left the Empire near collapse in the 17th century. In
the 1800s, the British arrived with Cecil John Rhodes and the British South Africa Company. Between 1871-1891,
Cecil John Rhodes murdered over 50 million Black Africans in Southern Africa and changed it's name from Monomotapa to Rhodesia.
Why would anyone of Black African descent with knowledge of Cecil John Rhodes accept
a Rhodes scholarship? Would a Jew accept a scholarship with Hitler’s name on it, praising Hitler?
I don’t think so. Why then would someone of Black African descent accept a Rhodes scholarship?
The land originally called Monomotapa was changed to Rhodesia in honor of Cecil Rhodes.
Europeans, led by the British colonized Monomotapa. They controlled and ruled it for over 100 years. During
this period of time, African farmers who competed head-to-head with the white terrorist farmers who invaded Zimbabwe were
forced to move to non-fertile lands to farm.
Robert
Gabriel Mugabe was born in 1924 and educated in missionary schools. He received the first of his seven
degrees from South Africa's Fort Hare University. Upon completing his schooling, he returned to Rhodesia
in 1960 and he joined Joshua Nkomo's Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) but left three years later to form the rival Zimbabwe
African National Union (ZANU). Mugabe was jailed from 1964 to 1974 without a trial for opposing the
minority white ruler ship in Rhodesia. He left Rhodesia for neighboring Mozambique in 1974 and led the
largest of the guerrilla forces fighting a protracted and bloody war against the British Government and the Ian Smith led
government. After years of fighting, the British Government withdrew from Rhodesia. Ian
Smith’s Government took over when the British withdrew in 1978. In 1979, a peace agreement (Lancaster
House Agreement) was signed. In 1980, Rhodesia’s name was changed to Zimbabwe and
Mugabe became prime minister of a coalition government. In 1987, Mugabe became president of Zimbabwe.
Mugabe took over an European-structured government that been in existence for over 100 years. This
European-structured government was established by white terrorists/colonialists: the British government.
Once elected president, Mugabe had to work within the European-structured system to help his people and country become
stronger. He made it known that one of his goals was to take the farms away from white farmers and give
them back to Black Zimbabweans. However, the Lancaster House Agreement barred the new Zimbabwe government
from taking farm land from whites for the first 10 years of his administration. As president of Zimbabwe,
Mugabe established Zimbabwe as one of the most powerful Black African countries. In his first two years, he built schools, clinics and roads. He established free education
for all Zimbabweans. By the 1990's, Zimbabwe had the highest literacy rates in Africa and it remains
high at 89% of the adult population. He established Zimbabwe as the best educational system within Africa.
As recently as in 1994, Britain awarded him a knighthood. Also during this period
of time, attempts toward transferring the farm land back to Black Zimbabweans in a peaceful or structured way failed.
In the year 2000, four thousand five-hundred
white farmers still controlled 70% of the prime farm lands in Zimbabwe. In keeping with his promise he
made to Black Zimbabweans concerning the re-distribution of land and resources, Mugabe ordered all white farmers to leave
their farms in 2002. Once Mugabe started implementing this law and forcing white farmers, who refused to
obey the law, to relinquish their farms, the British Government and the White European international community started to
complain and impose sanctions on Zimbabwe. This action of sanctions and criticism from the international
white community started before the most recent elections. The international white community or global white
supremacists started implementing sanctions and the propaganda machine on Zimbabwe. The international
white community (specifically the US and Britain) backed the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leader Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai,
the man who challenged Mugabe for his seat as president. The only reason that you can safely conclude
that Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai was supported by the international white community is because he ran to the Dutch embassy when
he thought his life was endangered during the election re-count in Zimbabwe. The Dutch Embassy?
The Dutch were one of the original colonizers of Monomotapa, now called Zimbabwe! Morgan Tsvangirai
and his organization MDC are backed by the white neo-colonialists which include the Dutch, Britain, Portugal and the United
States. I am sure Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai is a man with a good heart and good intentions; however,
he and his organization MDC, are being manipulated by white neo-colonialist backers (specifically Britain) who are using MDC
to deceitfully return Zimbabwe to an Apartheid form of government. Divide-and-conquer is still being
used by the global white supremacists (international white community) as an effective tool to divide and conquer the Black
people of Zimbabwe. To shed more light on the MDC, I want to reference the interview that Final Call staff writers
Nisa Muhammad and Saeed Shabazz did with the current Ambassador of Zimbabwe, Tobia Mapuranga. Ambassador,
Mapuranga said the following in his interview:
“From the moment we launched the land reform program, they used their money to engineer the formation
of an organization party they call MDC (Movement for Democratic Change) which is funded through the Westminster Foundation
and the Zimbabwe Democracy Trust. These are two British bodies that are sustaining the opposition. It’s not a secret.
If you want to visit their websites, they will tell you: We have sent so much money.” “And as for the United States, this is all
for public consumption. If you look at the Department of State’s annual report—look at the annual report for 2007,
look up the section that deals with Zimbabwe—you will read everything there: That we (the U.S.) are
supporting, we spent so much money—we are funding the opposition, and NGOs that are opposed to the government.”
That explains the reason why the people
of Zimbabwe had to fight 14 years of a liberation war. I think your war of independence was only about three years. We had
to fight 14 years against the British to get Zimbabwe free. We had to change the colonial heritage. And the moment we tried
to do that, we were earmarked for “regime change.” That is the phrase used by President Bush and Tony Blair, the
last prime minister of Britain.”
In addition, another leader within the MDC, Professor Arthur Mutambara has revealed that the United States
is directly behind MDC head Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai. In a paper titled "The Inconvenient Truths About
the West and Zimbabwe", Prof Mutambara confirmed the government's assertions that Mr. Tsvangirai was taking instructions
from the US representative Jendayi Frazer, the Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. "We
seriously hope that incoming US president Barack Obama and his new team will depart from this ignorant, ruinous and ineffective
foreign policy that effectively undermines its intended beneficiaries, strengthens the targeted villains, while blighting
the US standing in the world." In addition, at
a prior Southern African Development Community (SADC) summit meeting, Mugabe presented a report which alleges that MDC militias
are being trained in Botswana by Britain, to be deployed to Zimbabwe early in 2009 to foment a civil war.
So who are the ones asking Mugabe to step down? The European nations
who colonized Zimbabwe in the first place and continue through neo-colonialism are the first. All
other entities asking Mugabe to step down are puppets who represent the white colonialist powers, one being Condoleezza Rice.
This Black woman is definitely confused when it comes to race identity issues. A lack of self-identity
leads to foolish thoughts and actions. This is the same woman who said (and I paraphrase), “Dr.
Martin Luther King had the wrong approach or strategy. He should have waited for the “good”
white people to correct the wrongs of segregation, instead of forcing white people to accept us through the strategy of protest.”
You can find the exact quote in the Washington Post newspaper article that was written sometime in the early 2000's.
I could not find it while writing this blog: therefore, I had to paraphrase. I was shocked when
I first read it. Condoleezza Rice may be knowledgeable and skilled on foreign policy issues; however, when
it comes to Black consciousness or knowledge of self, she is confused to a high degree. She is not
totally to blame for her slave state of mind. What we as a people went through in terms of slavery
in this country no other group of people has ever gone through. No African-American is immune to the slave
mentality that was forced on us and still is perpetuated today. Every African-American including myself
has a certain level or degree of slave mentality. Some suffer from this mental illness more than others.
The ones who suffer the most or have a high degree of slave mentality are the ones who are in denial that this mentality
exists in their minds. I don't care if you went to college and became a doctor, lawyer or an engineer you
have to some degree a level of slave mentality. Condoleezza Rice has a high degree of slave mentality.
She is only a mouth-piece of the slave master or white supremacy. That also answers the question
posed earlier in this blog on why would an African American or anyone of African descent accept a Rhodes scholarship.
It’s because of the mental illness called slave mentality. We African-Americans experienced
slavery in America and Africans in Africa experienced colonialism. Slavery in America and colonialism in
Africa produced the same effect on Black peoples’ mentality world-wide. To a degree, we as Black
people have been taught by both systems to love white people and hate ourselves.
To add insult to injury on the unjust white hostile attack on Mugabe, a US-based group
of Physicians for Human Rights wrote a 45-page report and called for Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe to be charged with crimes against humanity over human rights
abuses and the collapse of the nation's health system. You got to be kidding me! Crimes
against humanity? Historically, U.S. white health-based organizations have been experimenting on Blacks
for years for the sole purpose of killing us. The well-documented Tuskegee experiment that occurred
between 1932-1972 is one example. The U.S. Public Health Service began a study in 1932 of 400 poor Black
men with syphilis from Macon County, Alabama. The 400 Black men intentionally were never told by the U.S.
Public Health Service that they had syphilis, nor were they ever treated for it although they thought that they were being
treated for their illnesses. Not only did a lot of the Black men die from this genocidal action by the
U.S. Public Health Service, but many of their wives and children became infected also. Harriet A. Washington
documents the Tuskegee experiment and many others experiments conducted on Black people in her book called “Medical
Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present".
So the U.S. based group of physicians need not to travel all the way to Zimbabwe to find "Crimes against humanity"
…. They can just look in their own backyard. I know why you don't write
a 45-page report of the medical atrocities inflicted on Black people in the United States! It’s because
you become conveniently blind towards white medical abuses past and present against Black people.
Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan, the brilliant Historian
and Egyptologist, documents in his book, The Black Man of the Nile, a quote by Sir Godfrey Higgins, Premier and Minister
of Native Affairs in Rhodesia. On July 12, 1934, addressing the Colonial Overseas League in London, England, Sir Godfrey Higgins
stated:
“It
is time for the people of England to realize that the white man in Africa is not prepared and never will be prepared to accept
the African as an equal, socially and politically”
Additionally Dr. Ben points out in his book, The Blackman
of the Nile, “Sir Godfrey Higgins’ position of the early 1900’s still expresses the general feelings
common among the white man in Africa, and to a great extent in the United States of America, to date.”
That supports the position of the late great analytical social scientist Dr. Bobby
E. Wright which he states in his book, The Psychopathic Racial Personality, concerning the relationship between Blacks and Whites: “In their relationship with the Black race, Europeans (Whites) are psychopaths and their behavior reflects an
underlying biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their evolutionary history. The psychopath
is an individual who is constantly in conflict with other persons or groups. He is unable to experience
guilt, is completely selfish and callous, and has a total disregard for the rights of others.”
Black Nationalism is the only solution to
fight white supremacy and to re-build the Black family structure that was significantly damaged in the United States doing
almost 400 years of physical slavery and the current constant attack by the system of white supremacy. Colonialism
and neo-colonialism keeps much of Africa unstable and dependant on European countries. Robert Mugabe is
trying to re-establish a black free state that’s not totally dependent on white nationalism or any white European neo-colonialist
country. Zimbabwe is an African country rich in natural resources that should be able to be self-sufficient.
However, white European neo-colonialist countries are trying to keep Zimbabwe and all the other African countries dependent
on them so they can continue to suck the blood of Black African people to maintain global white supremacy. All
whites are guilty whether they participate or sit on the sidelines and remain silent watching the international/global/white
European countries impose sanctions on Zimbabwe. These sanctions are suffocating the Black people of Zimbabwe.
How hypocritical are these European countries/international white community who, as I remember, when the system of
Apartheid was in place in South Africa in the 1990s before South Africa gained it’s “independence”, the
international white community did not want to impose sanctions on South Africa because it would hurt the people of South Africa.
Therefore, they did not impose any significant sanctions against South Africa to speak of. How come
the European countries did not use that same logic for the Black-run government of Zimbabwe? Of course,
we know the answer to that question. These decisions are made based on race and culture. Therefore, Mugabe
is not responsible for what's currently happening in Zimbabwe. Whites are. From the
white farmers who refuse to leave and give back what they stole from Black African people, to the white European colonial
powers of Britain, Portugal, United States and the Dutch who participated in colonialism and now neo-colonialism, to all countries
who currently impose sanctions on Zimbabwe, and to the US-based group of physicians who wrote an
unjust report. All are guilty and should take the blame for what's currently happening in Zimbabwe.
Justice must and will be done. We as Black people must support Robert Mugabe morally and if possible
financially. Stand up Black man in America, Britain, the Caribbean and the whole of Africa and support
Robert Mugabe through this crisis in Zimbabwe. Mugabe is one of the last true revolutionary African heroes
that we MUST support.
The more you look at what’s happening with how whites and hand-picked Black puppets are reacting towards
the situation in Zimbabwe, the more you have to agree with Dr. Bobby E. Wright’s analysis of White people in general.
If this unjust attack by whites on Mugabe and the Black African people of Zimbabwe continues, then Mugabe may need
to take action against white people within and external to Zimbabwe. If I were to send Robert Mugabe an
Open Letter, I would say:
Consider
taking a page out of the history book of Idi Amin Dada, the former president of Uganda, by kicking all white people out of
Zimbabwe and not allowing any whites to enter Zimbabwe. Most, if not all, white European nations already
imposing sanctions on your country and are killing and suffocating the Black people of Zimbabwe, what do you have to lose?
We need to establish a network of trade between Africans in Africa and Africans abroad and stop depending on European
anything for our survival. “I’d rather be dead in the grave than to continue to be a slave”,
has to continue to be your theme Mugabe. Jesus said, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose
it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it”. What Jesus was talking about is for those who decide to take
the righteous and unpopular path will preserve the soul and save their lives. Those who follow the unrighteous
path will surely die. Mugabe, my prayers are with you and the Black people of Zimbabwe. Continue
to be strong fighting the wicked. Death before dishonor has to continue to be your position and stance
on this situation.
This madness
of killing Black African people has to stop. Imposing sanctions and continuing to do so while Zimbabwe
was and is going through a heath crisis is nothing but genocide imposed by the international white community.
We must fight for our rights and not allow whites to continue to manipulate, exploit, and kill Black Africans in order
to preserve the white race. We must preserve our own race at all costs. The ancient
God of our ancestors is with us and is on our side helping us fight for justice. Self-preservation is the
first law of nature. Let's be real here: If we as Black people can't govern our own
land in Africa and in particular Zimbabwe, how are we going to be free globally? How are we going to be
free in the United States? I know many African Americans are recovering from drinking that Kool-Aide during
the inauguration of our 44th president. I'm still recovering from the Kool-Aide I drank on January
20, 2009. Don't get me wrong, it's great that we now have a Black president. However,
we need to make sure he is accountable and that our people get justice. A threat to Black African
freedom in Zimbabwe is a threat to Black freedom globally. Whites still control over 86% of the land in
South Africa. Do you think when Nelson Mandela is ready to start taking land from the white South Africans
they are going let him without a fight? Zimbabwe is the prerequisite to what will eventually happen in
South Africa. South African whites and the rest of the white European international community already have
a plan based on hypocrisy to continue to maintain control and exploit the Black South African people. Black
Africans at home and abroad, wake up because we must stand up and support Mugabe. A threat to freedom and
independence for Black Africans in Zimbabwe is a threat to freedom and independence for Black Africans any and everywhere
including in the United States.
