Malinding Jaiteh,

You never cease to amaze me!  How dare you blatently disregard the facts in
this matter and try to spin it? Whoever talked about getting even with
Europe? Have you ever heard of the term justice?

Well that is what people who have a sense of the term are talking about, not
getting even but getting JUSTICE. Get that in your head, JUSTICE for the
victims of imperialist plunder and pillage that is for a large part
responsible for the condition that the long suffering people of Africa find
ourselves. But for you maybe our condition is just the natural order of
thing?

And who talked about Mugabe being an angel? For once, there is an
African leader who stands up to your idols, calls them by their proper names
and does not suck up to them. Zimbabwe is a sovereign country and their
independence was hard won, in the battlefield, not granted on a sliver
platter and those progressive sons of Africa are going to continue to fight
to defend their right to self determination. Monkey is not going to continue
to work so baboon can eat!

Just as Mugabe told your Angels, if that is how you view the West, they can
go hang because Mugabe was elected by the people of Zimbabwe and it is not
the the place of Downing Street, the White House or Bush House to institute
regime change in Zimbabwe.

Putting Zimbabwe aside, I'm not surprised either that you are always unable
to separate the chaff from the grains, it is eveident from much of what you
post here.

For example, when people spent much of their valuable time here collecting
and compiling traditional Gambian names which I saved and took care of for
two years, you took that collection and corrupted it, adding all types of
foreign names and when it was pointed out to you that the mission was to
complile a list of traditional Gambian names - true to you reactionary
nature you tried to justify that with Ali Masrui having said something about
our tripple heritage. I was in no doubt that whatever he may have said, you
quoted out of context making Mary and John traditional Gambian names.
Sometimes I wonder why some of uswent to school in the first place, geez!

Kabir.
