Why I Can’t Go Back To My Shithole Country

Ezinne Ukoha

Now more than ever, I’m acutely aware of of how and why my ancestral wealth was willfully stolen by the razor-sharp clutches of White supremacy through the age-old weaponry of Christianity, that British invaders righteously brandished, for the ultimate goal of rendering their victims forever hijacked by the betrayal of a White Jesus.

President Trump loves to throw around the words “invasion” and “invaders,” when describing the “criminal” Brown migrants that are currently being used as guinea pigs for a much larger operation that will negatively affect legal immigrants in America.

But clearly, our Thug-in-Chief doesn’t do much reading because if he bothered to pick up a book like his more studious predecessors were prone to do, he would recognize how absolutely ridiculous he sounds when he attempts to demonize populations that haven’t experienced the history of violently attacking unsuspecting territories, with the intent to deface cultures for the gain of organically rich resources.

The original invaders are White people.

It was the British that made the decision to illegally storm my home country, Nigeria, after surveying the landscape that was ripe with earthly nutrients that would prove to be the stamp for a lifetime of riches for Her Majesty’s crown jewels.
