THE PRESIDENT
OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
Saturday 30th May, 2020
His Excellency,
President, Donald Trump,
President of the United States of America,
Washington. DC,
United States of America.
Your Excellency,
RE: OUR DISPLEASURE OVER RACIALLY MOTIVATED POLICE BRUTALITY AND KILLINGS OF AFRODESCENDANTS—THE CASE OF GEORGE FLOYD; “I CAN’T BREATHE”.
We all “can’t breathe” and are deeply appalled by the growing reports of racial intolerance particularly targeting people of Afrikan origin in your country.
This deep frustration should serve as a warning that can easily plunge the world in racial recrimination as the Afrikan race has been pushed far beyond what human minds can possibly bear.
The US is not the only place that is home to the black people that such ruthless incidents of deep-seated racial hatred against the people of colour must be repeatedly reported without an end in sight.
You, as a greatest nation and state you are on earth cannot be grappling with Afrikan-American lives in conditions of injustice on American soil unless it is of a systemic making.
To the rest of us in the world, your position of global power and inuence presupposes that you have a superior ability, enormous resources and an inescapable responsibility to call such chaos to order and apply your laws and people’s rights therein without any undue inuence.
The American government therefore cannot possibly carry a moral voice for Human rights in the world unless these Rights are of a few and special race out of the 1948 construct and to which we have no claim whatsoever but that of the holocaust victims alone.
The persistence of racial inspired police brutality and killings in your country are therefore not only outrageous, but elements that suggests that the American government has in fact orchestrated a perpetuation of a systemic and systematic purging of the Afrikan race from the face of the earth with excruciating pain and a growing sense of insecurity and discomfort in order that Afro-descendants live a hopeless life devoid of a sense of freedom and the pursuit of happiness just in order to trigger an exodus of Afrikans from your country.
While, those Afrikans have a historic home rich and healthier in all aspects here in Afrika, no one should have an express right in the US to treat fellow citizens and human beings in the manner the police treat our brothers and sisters over there.
Mr. President, our mightiness can only arise out of our words and therefore with mere words, we appeal to your administration to bring this systemic carnage to a complete halt.
Yours Sincerely
SIKWINDI S. SITULA
PRESIDENT
STATE 55 AFRIKA
