What still bugs me is the fact that this very intelligent race of people, would learn to do and create everything else except: Togetherness. Standing together and love for one another. We might easily be the only race of people who cannot live together, fight together, and share with one another. The indoctrination of inferiorism is so well embedded in us. We are still waiting for a saviour. Or maybe for democracy to run it's course. If you follow world politics you may note that Blacks and the minorities of all the races tend to vote DEMOCRATIC.

When I started this, my intention was not to go on this long, but if it's one thing we learn to do, and do well too".. is Gab. He hee. All jokes aside, I just wanted to let my people know that our reprieve will not come from the political leaders. They have their own agendas and battles by the time they get into power. We will forever cry for change. The minorities, the less fortunate, and the Blacks will always suffer worst. The Blacks suffering more that the rest. The only way to have democracy is to, ask for it, demand it. Let it be known that, that is what we want.

It is and will always be".. "The Will To Survive' And "The Will Does It.' I started with Democracy. We all want Democracy (Social Equity) or a democratic government (By The People For The People). When will this happen. Who will be brave enough to bring this to the fore? Then again are you sure that, that is what you really want?

My people, there is NO such thing, neither in Church nor State. Unless we stick together and fight for what is rightfully ours. What is that you ask? HUH ... so you do not know what you want? Good governance, from the people elected to govern; that is what I think the masses want more than anything else.

A little more history: German colonialists tried to wipe the indigenous Namibians from the face of the earth. Two thirds of them at least, were killed.

"The first German colonists then arrived in 1892, and conflict with the indigenous Herero and Nama people began.

Between 1893 and 1903, the Herero and Nama peoples' land as well as their cattle were seized by militarily superior German forces who regarded them as subhuman.

Then in 1903, the Herero people learned that they were to be placed in reservations, leaving more room for colonists to own land and prosper". (Namibian History)

You must know that the British had Namibia; they however had gotten enough by the 1870s, and determined the area was now valueless. The way now then was paved for German colonial invasion. They discovered the Diamonds. So now it was extermination, hangings, and forced detention in concentration camps. These people fought back, the rest of them that was left had, had enough. Even just for their lives they fought, they wanted freedom from this type of enslavement. Their riches were gone.

I Hope you are understanding the economics, and the level at which people would go to own their rights.

There is an App for that. So stop complaining and get the App.
