Subject: The Ugliness In Diversity - Mr Saiks Samateh


>     As I read each of Saiks correspondence with a Sister Jay and her quarrels
> with the gentleman, I cannot help but wonder what the lady's problems are.
> And how empty the quarrels really are. Each message from her contains a
> subtle lambasting of why Saiks is not in the Gambia staging the struggle
> there instead of Oslo. Excuse me what are you doing in Sweden? One wonders
> what self sacrifices you are undergoing that makes you so self righteous as
> to chide Saiks on his little contribution? The guy told you that when
> students were being gunned down he happened to be there on a mission for the
> better but no that doesn't suffice for you. You want his permanent presence
> there. You want him set up an outfit to battle the regime; a trade union or
> something of that nature. One would be excused into believing that you have
> already set up your own Gambia Women Findi Grower's Association for you to
> adopt such a self righteous posture. Ironic isn't?
>      You staging that phoney and outdated Marxist struggle/revolution in
> Stockholm for wretched souls in the Gambia but aha, Saiks is exempt from that
> privilege because maybe he happens to be a man. Surprised?...me? Nope. This

> about how each should conduct him/herself. For chrissake lets stop this these
> senseless quarrels. If people want to make their presence known on the List
> let them tackle the real issues that affect us as a people rather than engage
> in slugfests that lays bare one's sense of irony each time.
>     By the way just wish to inform you lot there is indeed ugliness in
> diversity. Time has not accorded me the opportunity to tell you why.
> Diversity like conformism can be both dull and ugly. This is such a time in
> the struggle against the Fascist regime.
>      Brother Saiks, continue your struggle. If you wish to stage it in
> Nicaragua or the North Pole, do not take sanctimonious or holier-than-thou
> sermons from people in the comfy worlds of Stockholm or elsewhere who think
> otherwise. The struggle can be mounted/staged anywhere. Bottomline is one has
> just to be patriotic, dedicated, selfless and well meaning.
