African Americans request Mugabe and African Union intervention in Sean Bell acquittal



Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:02:00 +0000

DEAR Honorable President Robert Mugabe. We humbly need your involvement to demand justice for the African American community in America. Today, 3 New York City detectives were acquitted without a jury trial for shooting a 23 year old unarmed man Sean Bell in a hail of 50 bullets. Sean Bell was due to be married the same day.

 

Reverend Al Sharpton calls the acquittal “an abortion of justice.”  And, “the civil rights of New Yorker have been violated”.

 

Can you assist me in gathering support from the governments of South Africa, Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Sudan, Kenya, Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Ethiopia, Zambia, and Mozambique; and the African Union and United Nations, on behalf of the descendants of enslaved Africans?

 

Previous to this event unarmed Ahmadu Diallo of Guinea was murdered in a hail of 44 New York City police bullets in his hallway vestibule. The trial was moved out of New York City to a white upstate community where all police officers were acquitted.

 

The United States government’s response to the New Orleans Katrina Disaster in which the United States government held up emergency rescue services for five days before responding to the hurricane disaster resulting in more than a thousand deaths needs international attention.

 

For the past two United States presidential elections African American voters by the thousands were denied their voting privileges by government officials.

 

Also, President Mugabe can you use your influence in bringing to the attention of the African Union and the United Nations United States Congressmen John Conyers’ Housed of Representative Bill 40 (H.R. 40): the Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act. He has reintroduced H.R. 40 every Congress since 1989, and will continue to do so until it's passed into law.

 

It is a shame we have to request your assistance knowing that the United States government is presently trying to destabilize your country.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

• This is a metaphorical call to Africans to note and raise their voices against the treatment of Africans, and African Americans in the US, which self approves as the beacon of democracy and human rights.

Indeed where is Jendayi Frazer, Condi Rice kin all this? Are they powerful only against weak Africans like Mugabe?

• I feel your choice for a place of refuge is not up to scratch. I am not insulting your deductive reasoning ,but I am merely reminding you of your essential obligation to think first before you publish such dispositions. For example how on earth do you expect the governments of Ethiopia, Sudan and Zimbabwe to help in dealing with a humanitarian crisis. Sir, don`t insult our inteligence and since you are a Pan Africanist brother it would be the best show of honour for us to show you respect at least for raising a serious miscarriage of justice by the US Justice system, but your panacea is the one which raises our eyebrows.Anyway we need your kind as agent provocateurs on such issues as besieging our society today in the global village.

• Butler, we feel your pain over the bride groom issue and we are aware of the double standards but please do not bring publicity to your plight in such a manner. It is so easy to lose sight of the fact that both are wrong. Mugabe is killing his people and Bush has ignored the black man in Amercia for so long but to contemplate asking the devil for one minutes' respite in exchange for your soul for eternity?
I've always said you have genuine cases for reparations but how can you look to Mugabe who can't even look after his own people, to aide your cause? Read up on Murambatsvina and compare it to Katrina and your govt's response. Read up on gukurahundi and compare it to your justice system where black men have been encarcerated by the time they are 30.
We both have problems but we don't turn to the devil for help. He might give you what you want but will take what you need.

• Where is the voice of the Black American, Jendayi Frazer, when an UNARMED African American bridegroom is shot 50 times by American racist government thugs, who are then set free by the American racist in-justice system?

Where is the voice of the Black US ambassador to Zimbabwe, James McGee, when his UNARMED Black countryman is gunned down WITH FIFTY BULLETS by US government thugs on his wedding night? And the government thugs are set free!

The mentally enslaved African Americans, James McGee & Jendayi Frazer are eager to side with the racist devils of Europe against their own FREE BLACK PEOPLE in Zimbabwe.
However those sorry Black American 'official' are silent like slaves/servants of the European devils; while their own UNARMED Black people are SHOT FIFTY TIMES by US government thugs, who are then set free by America's in-justice system!

We dare the cowardly servants/slaves, Black Jendayi Frazer & ambassador James McGee to confront their racist masters over the KILLING OF AN UNARMED BLACK BRIDEGROOM IN AMERICA, and the freeing of the American government thugs who murder the Black man with 50 bullets on his wedding night!

After all this kind of brutal and racist killing of African Americans by US government thugs are a regular occurrence in New York and in other large American cities!

When the Black Jendayi Frazer & ambassador James McGee speak up for their fellow African Americans in America, then the FREE ZIMBABWEANS may have some respect for anything the America Black mental slaves/servants may have to say to FREE AFRICANS in Zimbabwe!

• One thing that anyone in America would not do is ask Mugabe for help. Because it would be political suicide. Why not ask Obama, he's A Black African.
