My Response to Karim and Joe Sambou!
I have noticed that my last felicitation to Suntu Touray's stand against the anti-mandinkas were not well received. As if i have no such right to felicitate any one of my chosen. That's another thing Suntu needs to add to his peom of O'Men of Today; especially some Gambian men, they can be very chauvinist!
A word of wisdom, taught me a lesson, never should i believe an iota of Joe Sambou's parodies, especially on tribo Gambia. The man knows no panacea to the issue. He is just been a paradigm of himself. Since when did Adolf Hitler become a paragon of anti-judeophobia!
As for Karim, he needs to understand the difference between homogeneity of the Gambian society and the hegemony of the British society. Firstly, i'm astounded how he tried to draw parallels between the two.
Our society emerged as a result of the partition of the colonialist, whilst the British society, a result of agreement between the Scots and English. If my memory does me a favour, i had informed him about the Union Act of the 1707, which was endorsed by both Scottish and English parliaments. There was no such agreement between the different ethnics of the Gambia. The disparity is therefore all too plain for the blind to see; our society emerged as a result of force (colonialism) and the British society, as a result of agreement (Contract). Have you heard the Scotts talking of devolution from England by referendum.
You wonder why the Mandings cannot say: devolution from the Gambia. But we are instead stucked in a society, where any literate (like Sam Sarr) can wake up, on a beautiful morning and start insulting our parents, yet we never talk of devolution.
Mr Sanneh stop this banter about Gordon Brown being a prime minister of Britain even though he is Scottish. The English have been ruled by scottish Kings and Queens for the past 5 centuries, why should one be surprised of the English having a Scot prime minister. If you ask me, the Englsih can't complain, the Scots have given up their Gaelic language to adopt English!
The British society cannot therefore be compared or become a paragon to the Gambian society. That supposition is support by the simple fact that the Scots and English have a choice in their marriage, they can divorce simply by the majority vote (in a referandum), we are not afforded with such choices!
And for that reason we must hold our grounds, whenever Joe Sambou and his cousins' attack our people (the mandings) we can defend ourselves.
Karim take note of this fact, it is never the Manding men who would start the chiding of tribe on the global media, but them cousins' of Joe Sambou!
I wonder what they think of us, some sort of crippled men and women, who can't defend themselves.
Tell Joe he is a tribalist!
