::: Banana Revolution:::




Join the banana revolution…


 It’s easy to say there is nothing like racism. This is the attitude some people carry, in other not to misinterpret any mishap with a white or black friend, schoolmate, colleague etc. as a racist act.
Of course there is racism despite the fact that this world of ours is a global village, a mixture of people from different races, with different colors, cultures as well as beliefs.




In my multicultural Germany, there is racism, I don’t know about yours.
When you get on the bus or train and the old lady you are sitting next to, prefers to walk away because the stench of Africa in you will not be her portion.

There is racism…
When you send your application for a job and your file is being selected and kept aside… because by their pictures we shall know them.

 


There is racism
  When the guy across the pub with his bloodshot eyes has nothing but hatred for you, cos his girlfriend with her lustful stare towards your direction has nothing on her mind but “9 inches” .

There is racism
When you are walking behind a white lady and she grasp her purse with all her might in fear of losing it…yes they are all petty thieves and therefore be cautious.

There is racism
When your little one comes home and starts asking you” Mama… Warum bin ich schwarz…im Kita haben wir gesungen wer hat angst vor dem schwarzen Man“
Believe me there is racism… Cause I can go on and on.
 

But should you let these acts and hurtful words bring you down….
Should you let these words and actions make you blind to see that despite the difference in color there are people who appreciate you and see just you and not color.
I feel blessed each day because I have friends, black and white, yellow red and green
I feel blessed because I have adopted mothers and dads black and white, yellow red and green.
I am a child of a mixed race.
 I refuse to see color!

Ps: I really appreciate your Pics and comments!
Love you all.

    Of course there is racism !!!!!
    but don´t also forget, it´s not always just about the black man !
    Depending of the country , WHITE, YELLOW or RED are also touched ....
    Stay to your colour ........
    I am BRAUN ! And I am always telling to my colleges or pat. I am the only one in the haus in the case someboby is looking for me. IF WE ARE OPEN and LOVE WHO WE ARE, maybe we will be stronger.
    But the true is that , we we always have bad experiences ...........
    So let me ask a question now to the blck people:
    why is there a difference between a afroamerican coming from Motherland and american black coming from Uncle Sam ?

:::Nobody is getting it all right!!!:::

“ Having a low opinion of yourself is not "modesty". It's self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not "egotism". It's a necessary precondition to happiness and success”.  ~ Bobbe Sommer Into every generation, different kinds of women are born. Some with greater strengths, some more intelligent, some smarter, others too sensitive, others gentle. Whether shy, soft spoken, loud or assertive, fast or slow, organized or disorganized, in our own little way, We Are Super Women. Every woman, in my opinion, whether tall or short, pretty, fat or thin, rich or poor, is unique in her own way; she just has not figured that out yet. Trying to live the life of another woman will only get you confused and depressed. We were all made differently and have different paths to follow.  We come across lots of people in our daily lives; through social Medias, behind our screens, by coincidence etc. and admire them. Of course it’s OK and but

:::“Constitution without constitutionalism" Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh:::

A few years ago, Lapiro de Mbanga (RIP) got Cameroonians buzzing with hope and optimism to the tunes of “Constipated Constitution” and, last week, the socio-political consciousness of Africans in Freiburg and Cameroonians in particular was aroused by the “Constitution without constitutionalism” and “democracy without democrats” message delivered by Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh. The event took place at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg, where he was invited by the department of political sciences as a guest lecturer.
