KANYE WEST SAID SLAVERY WAS "A CHOICE," UGANDAN DICTATOR MUSEVENI, HIS
HOST, SAID ENSLAVED AFRICANS WERE "STUPID" --BASHED GAYS AND PRAISED
HITLER

[Speaking Truth To Power]
Kanye West, the mega-rapper and Donald Trump friend who is now in
Uganda to record an album and who was hosted by dictator Gen. Yoweri
Museveni, earlier this year landed in very hot water when he referred
to slavery as a "choice."
West, in May, said: "When you hear about slavery for 400 years...For
400 years? That sounds like a choice. You was there for 400 years and
it's all y'all...?"
His host, Gen. Museveni, once referred to Africans who ended up being
enslaved as "stupid," in an interview in the Atlantic Monthly
Magazine. The ruthless Ugandan dictator of 32 years now in the
interview published in the magazine's issue of September 1994, Vol.
274 Issue 3 page 22, said: "I have never blamed the whites for
colonizing Africa: I have never blamed these whites for taking slaves.
If you are stupid, you should be taken a slave."
At least Kanye West, who is some new hot water following his bizarre
comments during the White House meeting with President Trump,
apologized for his noxious comments about slavery in August. Gen.
Museveni has refused to back down from his own ugly comments, even
after I launched a Change.org campaign four years ago demanding an
apology.
At the time of my campaign, President Obama was hosting African
leaders in Washington for a U.S.-Africa Summit. Museveni had also
signed a law that called for the death penalty by hanging for the LGBT
community in Uganda. The law was annulled by a Ugandan court. In an
interview on CNN also Museveni called Gay people "disgusting."
Museveni also said scientists should draw blood and conduct
experiments to determine what was wrong with Gay people.
Gen. Museveni also praised Hitler in comments reported in a Ugandan
weekly newspaper, The Shariat, Vol. II No. 15, April 15-21, 1998
edition, saying, "As Hitler did to bring Germany together, we should
also dot it here. Hitler was a smart guy, but I think he went a bit
too far by wanting to conquer the world."
When I brought up dictator Museveni's ugly comments to the attention
of then Rep. Charles Rangel on the eve of the 2014 conference hosted
by Obama, Rangel in a statement said: As we welcome African leaders to
President Barack Obama's historic U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit aimed at
strengthening the diplomatic and economic ties between African nations
and the United States, it must be made clear that any form of hatred,
based on race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, and religion,
is not tolerated in our country. I regret that Gen. Yoweri Museveni
has made some hurtful remarks in the past that have incited great
controversy and hope that he has seen the insensitivity behind those
statements."
I'm not sure if Kanye West is aware of any of all this.
Gen. Museveni is a militarist who in recent week's has been condemned
by the Western countries that have supported him the most, the U.S.
and the U.K., after he unleashed violence against opposition leaders.
The attacks were carried out by his security forces beginning August
13 in the city of Arua during Parliamentary by-elections his party
lost. The Special Forces Command (SFC) which was previously trained
and equipped by the U.S. nearly killed Uganda's rising political star
and entertainment artist, Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi,
a.k.a. Bobi Wine.
Bobi Wine later traveled to the U.S. for treatment of injuries
sustained after being beaten and tortured by the SFC, which reports to
Museveni's son Gen. Muhoozi Kaenerugaba. Several other MPs, including
Francis Zaake, a former MP and scores of their supporters were also
arrested, beaten and tortured. All of them, including Bobi WIne, now
are on trial on trumped up charges of treason. Maybe while he's in
Uganda Kanye West can also meet with Bobi Wine so he can see the scars
to prove how Gen. Museveni treats popular entertainment artists and
political leaders who don't toe the Museveni line.
Gen. Museveni's militarism has resulted in the deaths of millions of
Africans: in Uganda; Rwanda; Congo; and, South Sudan, as detailed in a
petition calling for his resignation.
Kanye West apologized for his comments about slavery. At the very
least, while he's still in Uganda, maybe he can ask his new friend
dictator Museveni to also apologize for his ugly comments about
slavery, Hitler, and the LGBT community.
Knowing Museveni, the rear-end kissing opportunist, he's probably
trying to persuade Kanye to get him a White House invite with Trump.
After Trump called Africa a collection of S-hole countries, he was the
only African ruler who praised the comments, saying "I love Donald
Trump."
