I MUST say this so-called migrant crisis that has hit Europe got me thinking.
Many years ago the same white people travelled all the way to Africa to capture us and packed us in their overcrowded boats in a most horrible way, shipping us to Europe.
The horrors of that slave trade are still fresh.
The same white people treated us like rats.
In fact, they were practically hunting for Africans in order to abuse them in Europe and America.
To date, it is documented that places like Liverpool in UK were built by African slaves.
The development in Europe and America is attributed to African slaves who had been mercilessly captured by white people in Africa.
And let’s not forget that there are thousands of blacks who perished in the sea as they were transported to Europe.
So where is the problem now?
Europe must see what it can do to accommodate migrants who are flocking there everyday.
Personally I think this is payback time and in particular Germany, Britain, France and allies must do everything in their power to cater for those migrants.
When they held the Berlin Conference from 1884 to 1885 to partition Africa in the infamous ‘scramble for Africa’, they never thought centuries later, they would have this so-called migrant crisis.
They made this bed long back, so I feel they must lie in it.
