the West regardless of the pernicious and stultifying racist slurs and
institutionalised racism each of you has to battle with
against all odds in order to reach where you are today in your respective
chosen endeavours not because of aid packages and recriminating the West of
this and that. But because you sacrificed so much and took your destinies as
your primary responsibilities. Working long hours without whingeing,
overcoming all forms of racist obstacles and subtle overtures in
institutions, putting up with ungodly conditions, loneliness and
homesickness to name just a few from my little experience. Why isn't that
same self sacrifice and responsibility being the order of the
socio-political and economic outlooks of our homelands?"

That' s a home-run brother!
It's the same reason why some us find it hard to stomach the nonesense going
on back home. Some of the same people that went through what you outlined
here are perpetuating these nonesenses. We have a lot of work to do.
Thanks for the awakening call.
