Whatever that means; but what has it got to do with the arguments put forth?
Whoever is telling you all that is wasting his/her/your time. I am perplexed that people really take time to try and figure out who forists are. A friend said mashadites do, but I dismissed it as silly; an exercise in futility. What can one tell from these monikers? If any of you want to know me, feel free to ask.
Better still, I will tell you:
I AM FEMALE.
If being male is a pre-requisite for fruitful discussions, then I am
MALE.
Are you suggesting that you are only willing to engage men in discussion? U did your intelligence a diservice by that quip.
My posting in Swahili here is of no consequence to Africa's problems. I can process crucial concepts presented to me in English fairly well. That can not be said of my village counterparts who have not had the opportunity to access the opportunities I have.
(Try seeing the big picture people)
What am saying in simple terms is that my extended cousins who find schooling a bitter pill should still be able to understand their environment and progress. In the same way we have been pushing for civil education: make the knowledge accessible to as many as possible. If the most important concepts can only be articulated in English, a majority loose out.
Yes, Ireland and Scotland may have lost their languages, but they are not on the same footing developmentally as the English/French who went forcing their languages on others. I am not sure about Scotland, but Ireland has been playing catchup. The colonialist did not stop at the language, he set out to disrupt every order in Africa. The same can not be said of Scotland or Ireland. Japan, China, India- held onto their langauages and cultures-are now holding their own.
Secondly, do not forget that these are white men and in the scheme of things, they are several wrungs above the black man on the hierachy totem pole.
