Dividing us to death

Jaques Depelchin

I have forwarded Pambazuka News 216 (Economic Partnership Agreements: territorial conquest by economic means?) to Native Americans I have been connecting with because it confirms what I have been saying:

1. Economic bantustanization has worked for a long time, this economic partnership business is to freeze it so that it no longer changes. Native Americans have gotten their reservations and now their casinos. African Americans have been integrated through the entertainment industry (which includes Sport).

2. Africa and the former colonies are now being turned into global reservations.

That is what immediately came to mind as I read Pambazuka News 216.

This is very schematically put, but the success of dividing us to death (e.g. keeping the victims of the Inaugural Double Genocide divided) has worked very well. I remember at the University of Dar es Salaam, we fought hard to get African American history taught (Walter Rodney led that charge), but nothing was said about the history of Native Americans.

Is it possible to work harder on reversing this? Or am I barking for no reason?
