New Coronavirus Potentially More Deadly for the Black Communy
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 6 months you should have heard about the New Coronavirus by now. The New Coronavirus is a deadly respiratory virus that so far has infected tens of thousands of people in China as well as dozens more in several countries around the world.
Roughly 200 people have been confirmed to have died from the virus while hundreds more are in critical condition in hospitals. All Black people need to become informed about the new coronavirus for several critical reasons.
The virus has no cure, it is highly contagious, and it can kill you before you even know you have it. We all need to increase our knowledge of this new Coronavirus in order to alleviate confusion and fear in the Black community.
Coronaviruses are not new; they were first recognized in humans in the 1960s and are recognized to cause minor respiratory ailments such as the Common Cold and the Flu. Biologists say Coronaviruses originate in animals and are harmless to humans in most cases however, in some rare cases some strains of Coronaviruses are deadly to us.
In the past 20 years the world has been impacted by two separate and deadly strains of Coronavirus. They were known as MERS and SARS and if you remember the fear and panic that they caused then you need to treat this new Coronavirus because unlike MERS and SARS, there are no vaccines or antiviral drugs that are approved for its prevention or treatment.
The World Health Organization or “WHO” for short, has declared the virus a public health emergency of international concern. This means that health ministries in all countries must inform their citizens about the virus as well as to take steps to prevent its potential spreading.
The WHO is also reporting that the new Coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China in illegal meat markets where wild animals are slaughtered and sold without inspections. Such meat markets are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and viruses as well as to facilitate their transmission to humans.
The entire city of Wuhan has been quarantined by the Chinese government to prevent the virus from spreading. In various countries where the virus has been confirmed, those infected have also been hospitalized and quarantined.
All other people who have traveled to and from China in the past few months have been informed to undergo medical examinations to confirm that they are not carrying the Coronavirus.
In all crisis’s there are mischievous people who will take the opportunity to spread conspiracies, propaganda, and misinformation. Don’t be caught up in these types of unconsciousness behaviors by helping to spread fear and distrust in society.
For instance; some people in social media are already spreading conspiracies about the Corona virus saying that the virus cannot infect Black people or the virus is a man-made biological warfare tool designed to attack China.
These types of nonsense conspiracies take away from the fact that a lot of Chinese food vendors are operating using very unhygienic practices that need to be changed and brought up to global standards.
Instead of helping the Chinese to work on improving their overall health system, conspiracies will instill a victim mentality in them and reinforce the belief that foreigners have never liked their choices of food in the first place, such as eating Dogs, Cats, Snakes and even Bats.
Victim mentality is then being reinforced by the actions of racists people who are spreading racist propaganda about all Asians in the wake of the Corona virus.
The New Corona virus is potentially very deadly for Black communities. We don’t like to pay attention to the news, We don’t eat healthy, we depend on religious illusions to keep us safe, and we are very susceptible to misinformation and propaganda.
As you can all tell, this new respiratory virus is in the class of MERS and SARS, which killed thousands of people worldwide so don’t be fooled in thinking it cannot infect you. Increase your knowledge of the virus, pay attention to official news reports, and do not give life to conspiracies and propaganda. Be aware to stay safe.
How to Fight the Rise of Pandemics Such As COVID-19
Robert Mugabe Deserves Respect
Robert Mugabe is a AfRAkan hero!
In the early hours of Nov 15th, 2017, news broke that Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe had been removed from office by his country’s army. The details of his ouster are not well known, however, Army leaders in Zimbabwe are refusing to call it a Coup. Instead they say Mugabe is safely under house arrest as part of a military action to root out criminal elements in the government. Whatever the outcome of the situation turns out to be I think it is safe to say that Mugabe’s rule of Zimbabwe is over.
Many people are no doubt rejoicing at Mugabe’s demise, some inside Zimbabwe, other regions of Afraka, and especially in the Western world. All three areas hate him for three different reasons, none of which are valid if he is to be judged as a man who loves his race, his country and Afraka; his personal imperfections notwithstanding.
Mugabe rose to power in the 1980s as part of a rebel uprising against foreign influence in Zimbabwe; namely White rule. They gained independence from Britain by force, changed the country’s name from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe and held elections, which Mugabe won. The country immediately began to experience turmoil as the losing parties began to fight back physically as well as through economic sabotage.
Mugabe’s main opposition came from the other rebel groups, which helped to free Zimbabwe from British rule. They felt they should have been rewarded with a share of power. When they realized that they were double-crossed they began to stoke tribal conflicts within the country. They also sought help from Western backers who steered them away from Socialist ideologies and trained them to fight Mugabe using Human Rights and Ethics.
The Whites of Zimbabwe were the most outraged. Although their population was small, they owned most of the land and commercial wealth of Zimbabwe. (I guess Ethics are only reserved for the so-called civilized) They immediately began to move their money out of the country and with the help of Western financial agencies and governments began a covert operation to bankrupt the Zimbabwe government.
Mugabe saw all the unethical things that Western governments were doing to sabotage Zimbabwe so he lashed out. He taunted Britain and the Queen as well as to implement a land seizure policy against White farmers. Many White farmers were killed in the process as poor Afrakans invaded White owned farms and took over; never mind they didn’t have the expertise or know how to farm themselves.
Throughout his rule, Mugabe fought crippling Western sanctions that sunk Zimbabwe into financial obscurity. National pride eventually eroded into despair as the quality of life for everyday Zimbabweans fell year after year. Mugabe developed a dependence on financial help from his original backers in China, which only sunk the country further in debt. Then he was labeled a Dictator when he refused to step aside and let someone else rule.
Was Mugabe power hungry or was he afraid that open Democracy would open the doors to foreign influence? The fact that the country’s opposition leaders were groomed in the West is the proof of the latter. Revolution is one thing, governing in a fair, equitable, and accountable manner is another. Such a task requires deep understanding of Life and reality, a quality that is also absent from all world leaders.
In essence, Mugabe failed as a leader because he is susceptible to the mechanisms of Life just like Europeans. That is, his personal Desires grew to corrupt his Conscience. He grew to believe that only his solutions could guide Zimbabwe for all time. His final misstep was to begin grooming his wife to take leadership of his political party as well as the government, a move that angered his comrades so they acted in his removal from power.
Why is Robert Mugabe a hero? Mugabe is a hero because he attempted to show AfRAkans a glimpse at true freedom.
Europeans live by the motto “Live Free or Die”, a motto that they reserve for themselves. Indigenous people of the planet have been colonized and put under subjugations to them. Freedom has to be fought for but even when it is achieved physically, the economic chains are enhanced and secured. (Ask Haiti about that) The result is that most former colonies exist in a state of false independence to enrich the homeland.
Never let dumb newscasters or political experts brain wash you with the narrative that Mugabe ruined his country. Mugabe was not perfect. He did not always govern using Fairness, Equity, and Accountability but he is the only Afrakan leader who dared to break the chains of colonial influence and for that he deserves respect.
