Phew - it's true that some people I regraded as friends and allies let me down... a lot... but honestly, my own family have even more... BIPOC staff, even ore... on the political landscape, our best, most noble leaders like Patrice Lumumba, or more recently Gaddafi, have been betrayed by fellow BIPOC.... so it's bout discerning character as well as the systems that oppress and exploit... what is the opposite - a globalised bloodbath?
