Why I Am Not Afraid To Die

The destroying of our environment, the violence erupting daily in our society, the domestic violence robbing the peace of people, the constant rape of women around the world, the killing of innocent people with biological processed diseases etc, aren't issues of concern to many people, because they don't care.

A victim of terrorist attack, tsunami, violence, Aids, Ebola, Zika virus etc, has

a story to tell you more than one who hasn't experienced anything. I am an African, from a continent that has suffered all kinds of aggression, persecution, invasion, looting, diseases, depopulation and biological terrorism, in the hands of Europe and America. How do you expect me to react?

Whatever happens to an African, isn't an issue of concern to many Europeans and Americans. Aids, Ebola, Lassa fever, Zika virus etc, were laboratory manufactured or man-made diseases by Europe and America and inflicted on Africans and Latin-Americans as bio-weapons.

The media has covered up the crime in favour of those responsible for the medical crimes, yet their voices are heard anytime terrorism hits Europe or America.

Genetically modified mosquitoes spread Zika virus, yet the media and the American government want people to understand it's just a normal disease. What kind of a normal mosquito that when it bites, your head shrinks? Why is America causing suffering to others?

Why can't they test the disease they invent on their own people, but they choose the poor and the underprivileged? Is that the true meaning of super-power or democracy? What kind of God America claims in him they trust?

No one cares about Africa, but I do, because that's where I was born. If the leaders are corrupt and can't do anything about the using of Africans as Guinea pigs for drugs testing, I will speak out, because I'm not afraid to die.

Black people that fear to die, should read books about Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr, to read and learn something about them.

If those black leaders: Steve Biko, Kwame Nkrumah, Marcus Garvey, Nelson Mandela etc, were coward and fear to die, African-Americans or black people wouldn't have reached this far. The reason I'm not afraid to die because I am imitating them.

You need to be a sincere, honest or faithful person before you can understand the writer called Joel Savage, but I am not going to beg anyone to understand me, because such qualities are hard to find in people.

Many do ask me if I'm not afraid to speak against people: What a stupid question? It's because of fear Africans can't move forward or progress. Many don't even have the ambition to try something in life to be successful or fail. It's because of fear the White man leads the Black in everything today, but not because the Black man is stupid.

It's because of fear Europe and America treat Africa bad. It's because of fear instead of African leaders to confront Europe and America over those medical crimes, they polish their shoes to get gifts into their pockets.

It's because of fear, many Africans claim Aids and Ebola are curses from God. It's because fear an African can't scream or react if a White man is maltreating him.

It's because of fear and love of money, many Africans are pastors, yet their deeds don't show that they are servants of God.

It's because of fear, the statue of Leopold, a king who killed over ten million Africans, including women and children, still stands in Brussels, when there is no statue of Adolf Hitler, yet there is a Black politician in Belgium. What's his significance?

Fear is an enemy that kills the coward million times before his real death. I want to die just once when my time comes, so I don't have any room in my life for fear to occupy.

I know the truth hurts, therefore, I don't expect everyone to like me. Yet still, I will not change my life or the tone of my articles because I am Joel Savage.
