History: The True Amin Speech That Shocked The World.
Picture: President Amin about to take the floor and address world leaders at the UN General assembly, New York on October 1st 1975.
There is a comedy about a speech by Idi Amin to the Queen of England. While the humour is funny, here is the real speech that they are trying to erase from history by mocking him.
On October 1st 1975 in New York, and for the first time ever in UN history, the pan-Africanist president deliberately chose to make a daring speech to world leaders in an African language: the Luganda dialect.
Time magazine rated it amongst the Top 10 U.N. General-Assembly most memorable moments of all time. Not for the choice of language, but for the daring content and the way it helped change the course of global relations particularly with Africa.
After the summit, many of the continents leaders left New York emboldened by Amin's fierce speech.
As Chairman of the OAU (the African Union these days), President Amin spoke on behalf of the entire continent.
He took a tough stand against Zionism which was officially classified by the UN as racism. He also condemned neo-colonialism in Africa, discrimination against black people in the US, and denounced the Western imperialist agenda that was exploiting the continent, its people, and its resources.
President Amin then re-asserted an African Union resolution made three months earlier, to free Southern Africa from colonialism and Apartheid by a common African military force if necessary.
While referring to the death of Pan-African hero Patrice Lumumba, President Idi Amin called the CIA a Zionist infiltrated "murder squad".
An agency that was "killing anyone who resisted US expansionism in Africa". He also expressed gratitude to the Soviet Union and China for helping African liberation struggles.
The following day the U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim and the President of the General Assembly gave a public dinner in Amin's honor. A well attended event by world diplomats. This angered Western powers, particularly racist Britain which fully protected the Apartheid regime in South Africa at the time.
In a commentary complaining about the UN, reknown tele-evangelist Pat Robertson from the 700 Club wrote: "The UN General assembly had given Amin a standing ovation when he arrived, applauded him throughout the speech, and again rose to its feet when he left."

Journalism will not save Nigeria.
Nigerians will save Nigeria.
There are fewer than 1,000 people who are actively ruining 210 million destinies.
If 210 million people rise up against <1,000 oppressors, there is a word for that.
The word is democracy.
I’ve had enough of racist harassment. For 3 yrs I’ve lived in a blg with this private park. Security constantly target me just for exercising in our park. Today he called the cops on me who rudely stopped my workout. The cops treated me like an intruder in my own space. 😡
The first genocide of the 20th century took place I Africa decades before World War 2 and the Holocaust. The perpetrators were German soldiers and they used rail transport,concentration camps and medical experiments to reduce the population of Africans so they could steal their land. These techniques were refined and used again in WW2. The 1904 Herero and Nama genocides of Namibia were redacted from history even though the Germans still have up to 3000 Namimbian skulls in their instutions
Here is Steve Biko, he was a South African anti apartheid activist. He founded the Black Peoples Convention preaching about black pride. He was beaten to death by apartheid police while in prison in 1977. He died at 31 years old.
Wait until you all find out that most of all the so called leaders of these corrupt black african colonial nations are all foreign agents!
If not, what type of democracy are they practicing? How can democratic leadership of the wealthiest, most naturally endowed real estate on the planet, continuously impoverish the electorate to the point where they don’t even have basic security of lives and property, not to talk of electricity, good roads or healthcare? An electorate so impoverished that they are being sold in slave markets in Libya, their bodies turning up enmasse, drowned in the Mediterranean sea! Their best and brightest on exile in foreign lands, and their collective wealth expatriated to foreign banks!
Are we fools?
Do you all think your votes have ever mattered? Did voting take place on slave plantations? You think other black african votes matter in their countries? Did y’all vote for the criminal currently calling himself nigerian president? Since he installed himself using his international backers, do you think he answers to the people? So, why won’t his actions further impoverish or harm them. You think the criminal didn’t know this unrest will occur? Why do you think he stole the presidency so brazenly. Why do you think he wasn’t jailed in the US?
Democracy isn’t just a word. It actually is a process designed to deliver certain specific dividends. It is extremely cynical for anyone to call a civilian government democratic just because it is a civilian government, even though it is totally devoid of the dividends of democracy! What tomfoolery is that? How can anyone trust the people who do and support this?
Nigeria is a corrupt entity because the people who created it need that endemic corruption to be able to loot it dry. A judiciary isn’t just a label. No matter what it is called, its function is what matters, and a clean institution as strategic as the judiciary in a democracy explicitly means that corruption of the entire country would have been impossible. Since every aspect of nigeria is corrupt, then the judiciary is even more corrupt!
All of this has happened because we are black africans living under the system of white supremacy efforts. We are not allowed to breathe!
Now hear me!
G-D will wipe out white supremacy, antiblack racism from the world, forever!!!
Amen!!!
Once a Chinese man can speak, write Chinese, he’s considered educated. It’s in Africa we have to first deny our own culture and begin to embrace other peoples own before we are deemed educated. In fact in Africa, education is measured by how distant we’re from our culture.
