If the people that the dictatorship of Museveni was selling public lands to were blacks Africans would there have been a similar response?
Why haven't these people raged and rioted and violated those people who look like them? Museveni and the rest of the crooks in his government and circles, have proceeded to steal, privatize public goods including land. Why haven't they gone after all those supper rich black Ugandans who have acquired their wealth threw thievery as have their counter parts in Kenya and else where?
Similar to all the violence around land in Kenya? While a few own almost all the land, exploited people are going around violating those who have been victimized just as they have been. Those who are weaker than they are, not those who they really need to take out, and I mean take out!
Ugandan Asians may have historical privileges starting with the racial hierarchies created by the British during colonialism. But why can't they participate in the capitalist neo-colonial economy that exist in both our east African countries. They are Ugandans? Why the double standard? Its okay for black Africans to oppress blacks and we'll even sing and dance for them like the other day when Lucy was being sang for claiming that she'll give land to people.
I am in no terms advocating the sort of rampage that happened in Uganda. That sort of reaction will last for exactly a minute perhaps. It will not address issues of poverty, huge accumulation of wealth by a few at the expense of the majority.
Sometimes, your worst enemy looks just like you folks. And sometimes your best friend and ally bears no resemblance to you! Just think of the anti-apartheid struggles in South Africa. What of Joe Slovo? Race and like I've said elsewhere on this forum gender are not the only issues to consider. One needs to look at the complexities of of inequalities and consider carefully who is really on your side and when. They may be with you today and tomorrow they turn into all those young turks in Kenya who have sold Kenyan's struggles for democracy down the river.
