IDI AMIN DADA.
Another Great African, Portrayed As The Devil.
A THREAD.

The media will not report that Idi Amin was a man who never wanted to be president.
They won’t tell you that he was actually put at gun point by mutineering soldiers on Monday, January 24, 1971 and forced to take charge of the country or be shot.
Western media and intelligence services conducted a well coordinated media campaign against President Idi Amin because he stood in the way of their greed, abuse and exploitation on many fronts, and they have now managed to turn today’s young African youths against someone who should be held in high esteem as a true African hero.
Most of what you know about Amin is a Lie. The western media lied against Dada. Hollywood Lied against Dada. Idi Amin was not a brute. He wasn’t an evil man. Yes, he made mistakes, but he was true to Uganda and Africa. He was a true son of Africa who was ready to give his all not only for the total liberation of the continent but also to the nations and people in the world that suffered oppression.
They attacked him, shredded his reputation, launched a campaign of calumny against him and made you believe he was a bad person.
What Britain never wanted the world to know is that it was President Idi Amin who brought the plight of the Palestinian people to world attention.
Before that, they were being killed and expelled from their houses without any western country lifting a finger to object to Israeli oppression.
What President Idi Amin did in 1975 was to bring the support of the entire African continent behind the rights of the Palestinian people. The memorable speech that he made at the UN General Assembly on that occasion has been ranked by Time magazine as one of the Top Ten greatest moments of the General assembly.
He was continuously applauded by the gathering of world heads of states as he presented the Palestinian cause and the suffering of Black South Africans under Apartheid.
He branded the CIA as a murder squad that was assassinating pre-designated African leaders, those who stood against western interference and exploitation. And he told the world that Africa’s last resort was to organize a common military force to liberate the countries that were still under colonialist oppression and Apartheid.
Before Idi Amin convinced the African continent to support the Palestinian cause, they were not being listened to, and Europeans were seemingly comfortable looking the other way as the genocide/ethnic cleansing of Palestinians went on.
When people picture the American cowboy, the image is usually fixed: white hat, white face, wide-open plains. History tells a different story. The black cowboys were the backbone of the cattle industry that built the West.

Dear Wypipo,
I know it’s been a rough week for you with @Beyonce winning both Country Album of the Year and Album of the Year at the #Grammys, @kendricklamar picking up five Grammys himself and then irritating y’all with an all Black #SuperBowl Halftime Show featuring @serenawilliams crip walking and @sza singing, and to top it off, the #Philadelphia @Eagles winning the Super Bowl and their Black quarterback @JalenHurts being named #MVP.
I know all of this has to sting, but remember, it’s about meritocracy. Hang on in there. If we could get through slavery, lynching, murder, rape, segregation, brutalization, dehumanization, and mass incarceration, y’all should make it through this just fine.
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth.
