Dear G-List Mangers and Members,

I thank you all for accepting me. I will do my best to respect the terms and conditions of your august List.

As for my current topic, it us sad that some people prefer sending me death  threats than engaging me in mature discourse.

However, I am not a coward.

Thank once more for accepting me.

Prince B.A. Sankanu

> Dogon, Fulani, Bambara, Timne, Mende, Hausa, Jollof, and Toucouleur in the
> main. Therefore Sankanu's inordinate view of Kaabu as the Mandinka kingdom is
> flawed at the very least.
>
> 2. The bane of Sankanu's article is pride in oneself and one's own. If he
> bears inordinately on the Mandingo ethnicity to get his point across, I
> advise temperance on his part. For the demarcation between ethnic intolerance
> and conceit become ever-blurry should Sankanu not apologise to Mandingos or

>
> 3. I am not particularly concerned with the religious undertones of
> Sankanu's global views because those are accurate and inspiring. Islam is not my
> religion and from what I was told by DaarManso, Islam or Christianity is
> not the religion of my community, prior or present. There are however lessons
> and examples from both the Qur'An and the Bible that all mankind must be
> proud of and emulate.
>
> 4. Voodoo is not a religion. It is industry and there to be chosen by the
> desiring entrepreneur.
>
> I therefore encourage my royal cousin Sankanu to make ammends for the
> perceived sleight and dishonour of the Mandingos as an ethnic group.
>
> I also encourage you Suntou to temper your language and genuflections in
> matters of ethnicity and religion. Allah counsels temperance for the Eemaan.
> Regardless of engagement.
>
> Take care my brother and uncle. You are also Sankanu's uncle therefor. Let

> our community. He will not be immune to improving or sharing his knowledge
> with us here. We must not deny ourselves the privileges of communion.
