My dearest Sibling in Diaspora, I'm writing you these letters from
Africa, a place described as a jungle by Pink people. It was from
there that your great-grandfathers and mothers were shipped away to
lands culturally different from theirs. They were forced into
outfits that were strange to them. They were made to live in a
different climate, against their will. They were mullioned,
decorated and a new life festered on them. A very different life.
More chaotic than they ever lived; translucently debilitating and
quite horrendous; more often than you would find in the hardship
that young people who are trafficked through Libya to Europe via
the Mediterranean experience today... I am writing to you with a
sorrowful and angry sound, because what the Pink people did to our
fathers and mothers must never be forgotten or forgiven. We shall
keep demanding that they apologise, and ceaselessly remind them of
crimes against humanity. These tasks we must discharge daily. If we
failed to do those, the Pink people would continue to manipulate
and wound us. The Pink persons are evil; they constitute an
affliction upon the world. Their heartlessness is unrivalled.
Therefore, we must zealously repulse their advance. I am only
writing to you, to apologise for many misdeeds. I apologise to you,
my dearest Sibling in Diaspora, whom we allowed Pink people to take
away from us. They have said that we 'sold' you into slavery. I
agree. We did, because if we hadn't, no complicity would have been
involved in stacking you on the ships. We helped them take you
away. This is why I am writing this letter to you... To say, 'I am
sorry and that you must forgive us for allowing them to take you
away'. 'Forgive us'.
