LABOR DAY MAESSAGE: A LABOR IN LOVE OR EVIL ? THANK YOU ALL

                  My fellow Cameroonians and well-wishers, friends of Cameroon

For many years now, I have been a voice for the voicless for equality on different important causes that are dear to the definition of human dignity .  I always believe that being a fearless warrior for truth, freedom and justice  like many others past and present, has been a very noble commitment that humbles me as a servant leader. I don't know about you but here is my opinion and perspective that I share with you with the hope that if you are with me on the same wavelength, then  we are partners. I have labored in love for more than a decade against those who labor in evil because it is the right thing to do. 

Therefore, on this beautiful Labor day here in the United States, we are blessed and privileged to be part of the celebration marking this day set aside by the Congress of the United States as an opportunity for us  to appreciate our capacity and propensity to labor, which means contribute to the work force of the country and humanity. I want to take a moment to thank the Congress and Presidents of the United States, past and present ,who labor in love to defend our freedom as well protect the rights and freedoms of the American  people and  others around the world. We, Cameroonians fighting for a virtuopus and free Cameroon have tapped into the magnetic energy in this country due to the spirit of courage and humanity because we believe that America is right and we owe a  profound moral duty to defend and protect this amazing civilization that unfortunately is also a breeding ground for truants, twisted psychopaths and enemies of freedom. There are some people who don't know how to lead and yet don't want to be led either. They are obstructionists and enemies of progress. We must figure out a way to  stop them.

Those bad governments and their representatives who gas their own people, kill some with chemical weapons or order their brutal military to arbitrarily and ruthlessly kill innocent and unarmed citizens are not fit to exist and if possible they must be uprooted from power and held accountable. Right from the onset, President Thomas Jefferson advised and urge citizens of any given country to consider altering or abolishing any government that is no longer laboring  for their best interest and to replace such a bad government with a new one ,which they deem fit  to govern according to their consent and constitution. 

That is why I have never been so proud of a nation like the United States and the people  before as each passing day reminds me of the endless dedication of this unique people on the face of this planet to uphold the labor of creation against,which backdrop emerged the human race with an ever increasing and deserving need to life liberty and pursuit of everything  including but not limited to happiness, prosperity, good government, employment, good health care, good roads, good education and good schools, and above all ,good and responsible citizens / leaders. The idea of labor day could be understood to mean giving back to creation in deep gratitude for what creation has given to each and everyone of us every blessed minute of our lives.

It is not uncommon to see the human race as busy as ants from one destination to the other moving back and forth at all times. It is hard to say what we are all looking for since we cannot read the minds of people on their faces except we know them in person or work with them as a team or may be authorized to check on them giving them the opportunity  to disclose their identities .Either they are serving us or we are serving them to the extent, which a clear evidence suggest that many earn a living through what is called " gainful employment". This means, volunteering is definitely not gainful financially but definitely it is a labor of love. However, armed robbery, shoplifting and all those negative things that others indulge into, which are not approved under law are a  source of misery for those who labor in hate and evil. 

On this labor day, con artist, embezzlers, scammer, hackers, corrupt leaders and thieves of public funds and murderers like the Cameroon kleptocracy and their  paid supporters hidding abroad and insulting freedom fighters must be aware that their labor day is in vain and useless because they do not add to the laundary list of things that contribute to edify humanity. The CPDM regime under dictator Paul Biya and his government who have stolen, embezzled and murdered arbitrarily are as bad as those who order chemical weapons against their own citizens and to me prevention  is better than cure. 

We must labor  in truth to prevent brutal dictators like Paul Biya of Cameroon from laying his hands on chemical weapons or gas to kill the Cameroonian citizens who seek freedom. The Biya 'regime is so desperate that they would do anything foolish and evil to stay in power and we must be extra-vigilant and keep insisting on the removal of Paul Biya and his CPDM regime from power before it is too late.

There is a lot of secrecy as to what a lot of people do for a living and yet we also know that we are surrounded by million of people who put in more than 8 hours on their job because we either see them or meet them on their job working.Our elected officials definitely have a clear job description that is no secrecy because we see them on TV and learn about them in the newspaper and other media sources but on the flip-side of the coin is a disturbing trend of  some around the world who labor in vain because they idle on their jobs or assume positions that they don't live up to. 

Well, if you value  labor, then be mindful of your cause of labor because someone is watching you and you shall one day be accountable for what you labor for. History is definitely colored by the amazing memories of humble and yet great people who poured their all in the service of humanity by giving their talents, skills, resources and time to  make a differencce and by so doing changed the world forever.The world is a wonderful  and beautiful place to be and we all have a chance to labor but what are you laboring  for? 

On this  labor day celebration someone is working at the hospitals saving lives, someone is signing a check to help someone across the State or country, someone is going to the food bank to donate food or to soup kitchen to feed the hungry , someone is offering their car  to assist a friend in need, someone is hiring people to work for them. Of course, great thinkers are inventing and creating something different that will improve upon the current civilization and if you are still wondering, someone is writing a policy that will influence social justice, human rights and prevent abuse of women , children and vulnerable adults as well as handicaped citizens of the world. Truth be told, if you are a human being with a conscience, be proud  of  the labor you offer or are considering to offer in whatever form, shape or manner and most importantly, you are a citizen of a global human village where freedom rings and life exists because everyday there is a new birth of life and we must never stop laboring until we reach that noble place where all people are treated with respect and equality . 

I love the human race because I have never  known anything more than being human and loving humanity for their contribution to my life,which makes it worthwhile even when those who labor in evil hate to see me happy. I write to let you all know that I am so proud of your good thoughts about me or your role in making sure that I m meaningful and doing what I believe in. 

I thank you all 

Be Blessed forever

Fellow Cameroonians and well-wishers we must continue to fight for the civil rights of all Cameroonians and well-wishers

            My fellow Cameroonians and well -wishers

Join me to promote civil rights in Cameroon and for all people living in Cameroon

We humbly pay tribute to all the protagonists of the civil rights movement especially to Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr and Mother Rosa Parks. We thanks this present generation of luthers with an unending zeal and determination to keep fighting for what is right in America and in other parts of the world. 

As we continue to celebrate the victory of the civil rights movement within the United States and South Africa, let us not forget that we have a moral obligation to cultivate both the civil and human rights of all Cameroonians regardless of region , gender,creed and professional orientation so that all people who work and live inside Cameroon will have their civil rights protected under law . 

Since 2009, we have called upon Cameroonians to emulate the non-violent  principles of the civil rights movement especially owing to the fact that American embassy in Cameroon is named in honor of Rosa Parks, the mother and icon of the civil rights movement. 

The civil rights movement eventually culminated into what was later known as civil rights act of 1964 and 1983 making it unlawful for people violate the civil rights of fellow Americans and legal aliens with title 7 being a famous discrimination statue and more. 

This means the civil rights was not just about talking about rights but lawyers and advocates/activists worked together with politicians,lawyers, religious leaders and community leaders to write down new civil rights laws that embodied the dreams and aspirations of the new generation of American citizens and immigrants to pursue the American dream without race or color or national origin being a hindrance as it was in the past . 

As for Cameroon, We will establish civil right laws by emulating and improving on  the example of the United States so that all Cameroonians will be treated with respect and dignity . 

That is why we advocating for a 24 months transitional government with a 33  transitional councils. Indeed, that is why we calling upon Cameroonians who have read and studied law with  practical experience to work with  us to make this happen. 

All of the civil rights could be summarized into a dying quest for equality under law,  equality for voting rights,  equality to seek public office, equality to be educated, equality in housing, equality in public transportion, economic equality etc Equality is a mark of justice that leads to a better understanding of humankind's search for happiness through the systems that have been created in his or her environment to guide them reach their full potential in life. 

This is what we are fighting for because without the civil rights movement, no Cameroonian or African would be free inside the United States with all the opportunities and possibilities that come with being free from bondage and dictator out of Africa. Let us never stop fighting for the equality of all Cameroonians and wherever you are, please, do not relent your effort and do not bow to distractors especially those who are paid and planted in our midst by the Cameroon CPDM regime to serve as shameless attack dogs for the corrupt Cameroon authorities. 

While I am appealing to all people with a good conscience to think outside of the box for a moment and explore the significance of the civil rights movement to them and humanity, we will not also fail to reprimand those who have demonstrated to us that their role in the diaspora is to destroy any noble initiative we are undertaking to free Cameroon from dictatorship.

I am compiling a prelimary list of these  Cameroonians here in the diaspora who are driven with the worst form of negativism,lies and distortions, yet ! You have to be extremly careful with these individuals because they are possessed with bad spirits and demons of corruption to the extent, which they have become very violent. Be careful when dealing with them because we are doing our best to enlighten and train them with the hope that they can change and become civlized and respectable men and women 

The following  notorious and kanterkarous Cameroonians in the diaspora stuck with  camnet focus their own marches against CIVIL RIGHTS and HUMAN RIGHTS OF CAMEROONIANS by insulting ,slandering and persecuting Cameroonians in the Diaspora who are marching online and  fighting for freedom, democracy, civil rights and human rights of Cameroonians under dictatorship.  The Cameroonian troublemakers( truants and social misfits) in the Diaspora otherwise known as obstructionists and spoilers who have severe mental disorder, sadistic Personality disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder turning them into twisted psychopaths include the following individuals who should be well watched by us due to their violent activities;

Students of Howard University march from campus to Lincoln Memorial to participate in the Realize the Dream Rally for the 50th anniversary of the March in Washington.

 2 hr ago Associated Press

Tens of thousands of people participated in a march Saturday, one of the 50th anniversary events for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

WASHINGTON

— Tens of thousands of marchers kicked off the 50th anniversary commemorations of the March on Washington, honoring the civil rights progress made since Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I have a Dream" speech, while lamenting what they called new attacks on racial and social equality.

2 hr ago Duration: 2:46 Views: 316 

Organizers of Saturday's march hoped the anniversary would serve to inspire people again to educate themselves about issues they see as making up the modern civil rights struggle.

The Aug. 28, 1963 March on Washington drew some 250,000 people to the National Mall, ushered in the idea of massive, nonviolent demonstrations and helped bring about the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Saturday's event was the precursor to the actual anniversary of the march. On the day of the anniversary, President Barack Obama, America's first black president, will speak from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the same place King stood when he delivered his stirring speech.

On Saturday, Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, thanked those who marched a half century earlier. He said he would not be in office, nor would Obama be president, without them.

"They marched in spite of animosity, oppression and brutality because they believed in the greatness of what this nation could become and despaired of the founding promises not kept," Holder said.

Marchers gather along the reflecting pool on the National Mall during the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on Saturday.

Holder said the spirit of the 1963 march now demands equality for gays, Latinos, women, the disabled and others. Keeping with that theme, those in attendance represented a grab-bag of causes advocating gay rights, organized labor and voting rights.

Congressman John Lewis, who was severely beaten in the 1960s while marching for voting rights, denounced a Supreme Court ruling in June that effectively erased the most powerful part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, whose enactment marked a major turning point in black Americans' struggle for equality.

4 hr ago Duration: 1:53 Views: 510 

"I am not going to stand by and let the Supreme Court let the right to take our right to vote from us," Lewis said. "I'm not tired. I'm not weary. I'm not prepared to sit down and give up."

The Supreme Court argued that the provision — which had required states with a history of discrimination in voting to get federal approval before changing the way they hold elections — relied on 40-year-old data that does not account for racial progress. The ruling has unleashed a string of restrictive voting laws and rules in several states.

Rumor: Martin Luther King was killed by government agents

Other activists cited persistent unemployment among African-Americans, which is about double that of white Americans, and the Florida shooting death of unarmed black teenage Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of his killer, George Zimmerman. A jury found Zimmerman acted in self-defense.

"It's very difficult to stomach the fact that Trayvon wasn't committing any crime. He was on his way home from the store," Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon's mother, said Friday as she prepared to participate in the march. "Don't wait until something happens to your child. ... This is the time to act now."

Saturday's event was being led by the Rev. Al Sharpton and King's son Martin Luther King III. After several speeches, participants will walk the half-mile from the Lincoln Memorial to the 2-year-old memorial.

Students of Howard University march from campus to the Lincoln Memorial to participate in the Realize the Dream Rally for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.

On Friday, a coalition of black leaders issued what they said is the 21st century agenda for the nation. They named economic parity, equity in education, voting rights, health care access and criminal justice reform as national policy priorities.

Alice Long, a NASA administrative assistant, traveled from Alabama with her grandchildren to give them a close-up view of African-American and civil rights history that she said isn't being taught in schools.

"I'm here supporting this march because there are so many injustices in this country," Long, 59. "I'm very concerned about it because I have a 5-year-old grandson and a 13-year-old granddaughter."'

Oh Cry the Beloved , you glitter like gold but;

Oh Cry the Beloved Africa, You Glitter Like Gold But;

· Ravaged by systematic and endemic poverty but for the elite

· Bed ridden by systematic and endemic corruption

· Cursed by systematic and endemic hatred and rivalry

· Doomed by the tragedy of war, bloodshed and refugee camps

· Held hostage by systematic and endemic greed of the elite

· Strangled by systematic and endemic intellectual dishonesty among the elite

· Hoodwinked by a wishy –washy totalitarian and tyrannical political systems whitewashed with democratic overtones and clichés

· Hypnotized by a systematic and endemic false interpretation of the gospel of freedom and salvation by the church except some few cases like South Africa

· Deprived by a sense of moral consciousness and conscience of accountability

Where is God and what can theology do to help Africa? Where are your moral values? Who is to blame? Certainly not God or the Colonial Masters!What type of Foreign policy will you need for the 21^st century that will help to salvage you from these problems? May be a proactive, consistent and coherent foreign policies from your Western Partners whom you claim they are responsible for your plight! How can there be peace in the midst of all these systematic and endemic negative forces?

Wake up from slumber and look up at the burning candle. A perfect response could come from Western missionaries and diplomats whom God has created and put into this world to work in his vineyard as instrument for freedom, liberty, justice, peace and happiness! The elite in Africa must stop shifting the blames elsewhere and stop manipulation, lying, capital flight and dictatorship. We must say know to civil wars and misery in Africa. We have had enough of it in the 20^th century, Oh Cry the Beloved Africa.

Oh Cry the beloved Africa, you look so b-e-a-u-t-i-ful and appear to be endowed with rich human and natural resources and yet you are so poor! How come? You smile and treat your guests with so much compassion, warm and welcome and yet you hate yourselves! You fight and kill yourselves with guns, cutlasses, matchets and spears .Why do you blame someone else for your problems? What have you done to prove that you would be better off if you were not colonized and left alone? I thought you asked for independence in the early sixties? What has happened since then with your independence? Are you stuck in dictatorship and greed? Why do you lie that you are poor nations? You live in affluence and how can you say that you are a poor nation? Do you mean poor and subjugated communities or Poor Rich people?

Oh, cry the beloved Africa, you have produced nothing but hatred and violent leaders who incite you to fight and kill yourselves while the flee abroad with their families and friends living us behind to gnash our teeth in refugee camps. What if we stop and reflect over our common destiny? Africa, you have come to America and some of you keep away from Africa! How can an African keep away from an African? Can’t we talk and listen to each other?

We have a common destiny and a common cause ,and how can we just run away from each other like that? Oh Cry the Beloved Africa, don’t we owe each other a moral duty to explore our common heritage and identity and rise to the occasion? Tell me something different about who I am because this is the 21^st century. Can I hear some kind words of inspiration and encouragement to testify that we can talk, walk together and eat together without being torn apart by our prejudice, fear, anger and wars?

Oh Cry the beloved Africa, suffocating under the shackles of a victim mentality myth called neo-colonialism and brained washed by the craft of the elite for their greedy desires, whitewashed by a false concept of salvation echoed by the hypocritical and shallow voices from the pulpit. Where is the Good Samaritan? Who is my neighbor because Africa lives in fear and suspicion with everyone? Let me dare invite Africans and African friends to reflect and meditate about who we are and where we must go from here?

I was not asked to be born an African-African or African- American or African- European but I know that I was not born for nothing. We must not go like this forever. Let us stop and hold our hands together and look into the eyes of each other and dance in a productive circle of unity, justice, freedom, liberty, peace and pursuit of our happiness. I can become an American or European but I cannot become an African again. I am already an African. It is fate. I must embrace it and celebrate it by generating a new thinking and passion for life. T

ake up your ostritch heads from the sand and look up at the burning candle. You are the burning candle, arise, shine and leave the world better than the mess you have inherited. Oh Beautiful Africa, turn over a new page and love one another by celebrating your rich ethnic and tribal heritage as a people with a shared sense of purpose and meaning for the commonwealth.

Why the DNA testing for African heritage is a Travesty of " I Have a Dream" by Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr : The Case study of the Hon Mayor of Denver

Hello friends

DNA testing for African Heritage is a travesty of  the dream speech by Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr 

Many years after blacks in the United States have been freed from bondage, some are still not mentally liberated. This is largely due  to the fact that either they did not understand the soul and spirit of the civil rights movement or they understood its philosophy but decided to distort the truth. I like  the dream speech by Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr ,whose words I humbly employ for the preamble of my thoughts on the obsession with DNA  testing  for African heritage by some  African-Americans. These are American citizens who claim that they have lost their heritage as a result of slavery against ,which backdrop they began to take DNA testing to locate where they originally came from.  But it is a project that I am concerned about because if African heritage was really of paramount importance and worthwhile, all the Africans present within the United States would not quit Africa to seek a new life in the United States. There is something seriously wrong with African heritage that many Africans now resident within the United States as American citizens have not been proud to identify with. This must be investigated so that we are not hoodwinked by distortions and contours of lies that are self-destructive and counterproductive to the people and continent of Africa. Why do African immigrants resent their heritage to the extent, which they must flee, quit and abandon Africa to seek a new life for their families abroad? For this reason, those Africans who are indulging into this hoax about DNA Testing to figure out some form of heritage have not been very honest about the truth . Either they are misleading these African-Americans or the latter is misleading them to the extent which , some divine intervention is necessary to re-educate them to free themselves from being trapped into the hole of the same ills that Rev Dr Martin Luther and the Civil Rights Movement confronted within the United States with regards to their human and civil rights. The truth is,the DNA and Heritage Project has become a rare form of false propaganda orchestrated by some absurd argument that defeats the purpose of the Dream Speech of Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr ,who made a compelling case for all Americans and humanity about the "beloved community" to transcend heritage and color of the skin. This is the methodology I am embarking on in a bid to debunk the false notion that heritage begins and ends with identifying with people who resemble one another in color or have some genetic similarities! If these aspects are correct whereas abuse is lurking within a particular heritage, can one still be proud of identifying with that heritage?  Why would African-Americans want to identfy with an African heritage that was the driving force behind the slavery and enslavement of their ancestors per their claims? Can heritage be celebrated and embraced if it does not have the capacity to free people from bondage and oppression? When I set myself on this path to debunck the negative propaganda one author whom I admire and respect gave me a reason to believe that truth is quintessential in our search for happiness. In his book " The Brave New World"  Aldous Huxley observed that; "The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects, by lowering what Mr. Churchill calls an " iron curtain" between the masses and such facts or arguments as the local political bosses regard as undesirable, totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have done by the most eloquent denunciations, the most compelling of logical rebuttals. If persecution, liquidation and the other symptoms of social friction are to be avoided, the positive sides of propaganda must be made as effective as the negative" Adous Huxley

This is so true to the whole notion about slavery and abuse because for a very long time now, I came to one emphatic realization, which is I am certain that we, black people in Africa have lived in denial for too long from taking responsibility for our own role in enslaving our own fellow black Africans. In te case of African -Americans seeking to identify with the black continent of Africa on grounds of heritage, it is mind boggling because it has also evokked another aspect of denial ,which is their refusal to acknowledge that in spite of the past history of slavery and segregation within the United States, remarkable progress has been made and so far most blacks from any part of the world have definitely benefitted from the American heritage and political culture that they would not if they were in their primitive countries in Africa suffocating under dictatorship and corrupt tyranny.

The truth is the celebrated Rev Dr Martin Luther King is a hero for African-Americans more than he is to the rest of us humanity because the tone of his voice and essence in , " I have a dream" speech marked the turning point in the moral and spiritual transformation of the American diverse culture where segregation and racial discrimination were lawful but definitely not a good law per se !

In his famous speech during, which he outlined his dream for his children and the coming generation of African-Americans hardly knowing that one day, Africans would be streaming into this country away from their primitive and abusive and lawless societies, Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr said vehemently that

" I have a dream that one day, my children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character..."

This is the most famous lines in the dream speech of Luther and while it is very telling and revealing as African-Americans believe that his dream speech has come to fruition in a lot of ways, is n't it contradictory that some African-Americans are back to square one with stereotypes and prejudice,which first of all let to the civil rights movement?

You see in the past week, I have been very outspoken on the matter of some African-Americans seeking a new heritage outside of the Ameircan heritage through some specific DNA testing project without highlighting the central point of my message. It is my hope that those who have been fighting back begin to reason now . Where does the dream speech fall into this quest for DNA testing and the desire to belong to a particular heritage when character is primordial in the new American dispensation ?

Rev Dr Martin King Jr said that we should be judged by the content of our character and not by the color or heritage! Color and heritage are different ways of expressing stereotypes because color describes our heritage and heritage can tell others what is our color. Therefore, if we reduce ourselves to this stereotypes ,which has been denounced and outlaw granted that we hail Rev Dr Martin King Jr and his dream speech, then it is clear that those who are taking us back to 1964 need some re-education.

I will leave it at this point because I have already made my case in my previous rebuttals to those who have been very agitated because I had something to say !In short, the heritage or color of people is of no importance in today's world especially here in the United States where talent asnd character counts more than your heritage and color. What is important is the character, heart and mind of the people with whom we share a common humanity. We must stop belittling the essence of life and rise above the pettiness of always crying foul so that we can appreciate the greatness of this present day American civilization.

To the best of my knowledge, heritage and color have hardly played any role in determining who is Mayor of Denver or the President of the United States of America . For this reason, let us move on and stop living in denial. The present day United States has been extremely good to many blacks and their present standards in thisd society puts them way ahead of indegenous African people trampled underfeet,tortured, killed, abused and violated by horrible and wicked governments. I am just wondering who in their right senses or correct frame of mind will want to be part of African heritage of dictatorship and oppression?

I stand corrected !

God Bless all us all for the love of humanity

Dear Jamie  Torres

Deputy Director of Human Rights and Community Partnership in the 

Office of Mayor Michael Hancock of the City of Denver

Sincere greetings to you, Mayor Michael Hancock  and the good people of Denver . This is the information I promised I would forward to your office following our telephone conversation Yesterday April 10th ,2013. As you can see for yourselves, the photo of Mayor Michael Hancock is enclosed in the circular ,which is why we take this seriously but we must also be clear that we believe in human rights, civil rights and community partnerships, communication and collaboration just as the City and people of Denver do as one of the ways to empower humanity across cultures and countries.

The Agency for Human Rights and Community Partnerships (HRCP) was established by ordinance in 1947.  HRCP's mission is to proactively protect human rights, build capacities, and strengthen connections that result in stronger relationships in the community through collaboration, communication and advocacy" The City of Denver

Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr once said that " Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" 

If Human and Civil rights is premordial for the advancement and safeguard of the  post- civil rights American civilization then we must also explore ways through, which to export to Africa the values that are now empowering people in this society to reach their full potential. We are of the opinion that if it is not possible to generate civil and human rights from within due to the circumstance of the downtrodden in our societies, one must tap into this society . 

To us , it entails learning and exploring ways through , which we can partner to  help transform or reform our own societies where human beings must be treated with respect and dignity. The civil and human rights of people living or resident anywhere within the United States is a TREAT  we also deserve for people living or resident everywhere in Africa where the United States has vested interest. Unfortunately for many of us advocating for genuine change in our societies  are distractors who are determined to misrepresent the truth about what we stand for as well far always yearning to speak on our behalf! It is our hope that concerned citizens within the United States must not be surprised by our focus to raise awareness and also to take action.

On this note, I am writing to thank you sincerely for returning my phone call upon my inquiry with respect to this SCAM -LIKE circular porported to have been a reflection of Mayor Michael Hancock's ideas  and  to some degree the direct quotes from Mayor Michael Hancock!  

I am forwarding to your office this propaganda-driven communique by some  Cameroonians so that your office may verify if this information  and message is approved by the Mayor. However, we will hope that this is not designed to end the prospect of an ensuing dialogue between African-Americans and Africans. 

This is because we , the people of Cameroon under political asylum advocating for the human rights, civil rights ( freedom and democracy) of our country under dictatorship and corrupt tyranny have been brainstorming on this circular with the Mayor's photo attached and wondering  if the Mayor was not being misled or if the Mayor was not crossing the line if he was indeed aware of this ? But thank you for your explanation to me that the Mayor was not privy to any insinuations that are carefully masterminded by the ACCDF ! ACCDF  does not speak on behalf of concerned Cameroonians living within the United States.

I will not pretend to state that we, the people of Cameroon in good standing resident here in the USA have been very concerned but I was very relieved when you said that Mayor Michael Hancock has neither authorized nor approved such a circular and its content. Many American citizens have been victims of all kinds of SCAMS by corrupt African foreigners who enter the USA with their bad fashion and corrupt mentalities from Africa and sort of think that everyone must put up with them. In the wake of all these, a handful of us  have been very determined to ensure that those ungrateful Africans who abuse the rule of law especially Cameroonians are held accountable. Our plight in Afrian is further compounded by the lurking presence of professional corrupt Africans who will do anything to manipulate and mislead people with their dishonesty and unethical activities.

You also said that the Mayor probably gave a speech at some point, which might have been taken out of context and blown out of proportion. This is not unsual with some desperate Africans who  lack  the commonsense and sense of aptitude to appreciate the ideals of human rights and especially the civil rights movement. Because of this, they turn to perceive people who want to see things done the right way differently. That is why we have been very bent to find out the truth as well as encourage the Mayor not to abandon his interest in matters of grave importance with regards to Cameroon. 

Finally, I also indicated that some of our fellow Cameroonians within the United States were overzealous supporters of the corrupt regime in Cameroon that we are speaking up against and would do anything to MISLEAD American citizens both Whites and Blacks for their own selfish material and political gains. It must  be noteworthy that our commitment to advocacy follows a  long standing tradition of others who have already stood in the gab to make  both the United States and the world a better place for others and we do not intent to become slackers  in this unending mission to fulfill the dream for a beloved diverse community. 

In this light, Mayor Michael Hancock is more than welcome to visit Cameroon as one of the golden fruist of the Civil Rights Movement in order to better appreciate why we are shouting at the top of our voices for human rights, civil , freedom and democracy of Cameroon. In order to jump-start a constructive fact finding mission where the Mayor and his staff and the people of Denver could be part of , a good place to start is to understand why for many years we have asked this question;

1) Why is the American Embassy in Cameroon named after Rosa Parks as Avenue Rosa Parks?

2) Who was Rosa Parks in relationship with the Civil Rights Movement?

3) Does the naming of American Embassy in Cameroon in honor of a Civil Rights Icon have any ethical, moral and political implication with respect to our quest for the civil rights of the people of Cameroon whose civil rights are crushed by the totalitarian regime  in that Country?

4)How can we first of all have an honest dialogue with African-American Leaders like Mayor Michael Hancock about where we are in the quest for African -American heritage without being silent over the salient issues that are impeding our desire to build-bridges between Africans and African-Americans?

5) Should our interest in African-Americans be only about their money,riches, wealth and influence or should be take the pains to capture the spirit and ideals of the civil rights movement to the extent, which building the beloved community should be given pride of place knowing fully well that this will eventually culminate into other benefits for both Africans and African-Americans?

For the sake of truth, herewith below is the photo of Mayor Michael Hancock and the communique about an event where he would be honored.  I have been very disturbed because I know that the so called ACCDF is a Pro-CPDM regime organization that works for the regime in Cameroon by  concocting bogus means against , which backdrop, a facade of democracy, peace and human rights is propagated  in order to make the corrupt Cameroon government look good in the eyes of the United States people and the international community. Yet, this is a montrous regime that has one of the worst civil and human rights records in recent times with clear evidence of their continuous crack down on students, members of the civil society who are committed to diversity and human rights across cultures and nations

Many of us from Africa and especially from Cameroon, a chosen nation to exemplify the ideals of free people as well as the Civil Rights Movement , are very impressed at the progress and huge successes of quite a handful of African-Americans in all walks of life. We are enthusiastic about their interest in Cameroon and Africa and definitely wondering how their role within the American  political and socio-economic culture can help us to overcome, too  ?  

Thank you sincerely

The 2013 Festival is already promising an explosive Jamboree with an armada of celebrities from Hollywood, Titans of Cameroon Academia, Musical artistic Giants, Cultural Heavy weights, Cameroon Business Magnates...and a very very special "Guest of Honor" who will be making a special and important "Announcement" at the Festival venue. Simply prepare your "Kontri-Attires" and come for the Treat of a Lifetime. Michael Hancock, the mayor of Denver Denver's mayor took advantage of DNA testing to determine his heritage. African Ancestry specializes in helping the descendants of slaves in the United States to discover their family origins. Hancock says he is proud to be Cameroonian. Michael Hancock, the mayor of Denver, a city in the western United States, traced his heritage to Cameroon, which lies just south of Africa’s western region that bulges out into the Atlantic Ocean. He says that, like many African- Americans, his family lost its heritage in the slave trade.  “Most of us don’t know where we came from,” Hancock said during an interview with Global Press Institute at the University of Denver. “You know what? I am from Cameroon!” Michael Hancock, mayor, Denver, Colo. That was true for Hancock until a group of experts from African Ancestry, a genealogy company, swabbed him for a DNA test along with other Denver headliners. Then, his ancestry was clear. “You know what?” Hancock says with excitement. “I am from Cameroon!” More specifically, Hancock’s maternal ancestors were Tikar, the name shared by a cluster of ethnic groups in northwestern Cameroon.  “To be able to make that connection is awfully powerful and emotional,” he says.  Hancock is the youngest of 10 children. He was born in Texas in the southern United States but moved with his family to Denver when he was 10 months old.  Hancock plans to visit Cameroon during the next two years and hopes to even reconnect with distant relatives.  Ancestry companies promote DNA tests that enable primarily Westerners to discover their heritage. African Ancestry specializes in helping the descendants of slaves in the United States to discover their family origins. The organization also plans trips to help people connect on the ground with the regions of their heritage. (Read more about U.S. citizens discovering their Cameroonian heritage here.)
