{UAH} Eugenics, Africa's Dangerous Racism
In the 80s, I was living in a small town in Europe with South Africans. I was struck by their arrogance that borders to take themselves as rare African human beings. This was depicted in their talk, playing jazz music and having cliques that talked about nothing but their special position in Africa.
These were (majority) South African students and from the former East Germany. Those who had not been to university exhibited the most compounding ignorance, I have ever witnessed- but surprisingly I was dumbfounded with their propensity to violence. They had fights occasionally in between heavy drinking and constant political laden conversation argumentations about their status laced with tribal ethnism.
Now, entre Uganda, ever since I comeback to this country, I have witnessed a rarest blooming cultural racism. There groups of societies within this country who take themselves as oppressed, divinely chosen, exploited and for that reason are above everybody else and therefore must be given that special status; politically, economically, socially etc.
They have also invented connotations in English language expressive and how they identify themselves in speech etc.
As I have said before, and let me say it again today, unless Uganda government or Kingdoms moves speedily to ratify native rights, and also create a federal system there are Ugandans who take this government's ascendency to power as a biblical act - whereby they have all the rights to do whatever they want, anywhere and anyhow irrespective of the law.
Some are now turning to exclusively tribalised Pentecost churches to legitimize this act!
This is a deadly micro sociological fact which will take Ugandans by surprise when people start killing each other since some humans look at other humans only as animals and nothing else.
