GUEST: Tunde Ebho, South African student and member of the Africa Team of the Black Alliance for Peace, talks about his work on connecting U.S. foreign interventions and the domestic war on African people and other oppressed groups.US Out of Africa! Shut Down AFRICOM
Most white liberals don't like to discuss warmongering by the Democratic Party. Whipping up anti-Russian propaganda, and championing military interventions in Libya, Venezuela, and Ukraine simply don't count when white liberals talk about imperialism.
Obama's "pivot" to China is treated in similar terms. Democrats praise him for withdrawing from the Middle East, rather than condemn him for a new escalation of the Cold War.
Tunde brings a refreshing view of the US Empire by focusing on its disastrous effect on Africa. Most white liberals ignore this continent altogether. Our mainstream media talks about China's "inroads" into the continent, as if only Western imperialists belong there. But the real story is the many US military bases in Africa, the many wars being planned and orchestrated by the Pentagon, and the appalling loss of life that has followed US military encroachment there.
Once white liberals can stop drinking the cool-aid of US benevolent interventions in the Third World, they might see how our country has laid waste to the continent of Africa for commercial gain and global dominance. A good start in their enlightenment would be the reading articles in the Black Alliance For Peace.
