My only crime is being a black, untouchable, and sexual minority despite being quoted by international scientific communities, United Nations partner organizations, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, The Advocates for Human Rights in their 2022 report on the death penalty, or the University of Central Arkansas on its official political science website on the death penalty.

 

Despite being quoted by international scientific communities, United Nations partner organizations, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, France (https://worldcoalition.org/), The Advocates for Human Rights, USA (https://www.theadvocatesforhumanrights.org/Home), in their 2022 report on the death penalty (page number 4 and reference number footnote 20, Ethiopia-CAT-LOI-TAHR-WCADP-1.pdf), or the University of Central Arkansas on its official political science website on the death penalty (Suryaraju Mattimalla (2018) – Ethiopia, Sub-Saharan Africa Region, Political Science, University of Central Arkansas, USA, https://uca.edu/politicalscience/psci-2300-introduction-to-international-relations/topic-sources/), I am a thing in the eyes of whites because I am black; I am a thing in the eyes of Hindus because I am an untouchable; and I am a thing in the eyes of hegemonic masculinities and femininities because I am a sexual minority. The irony is that I am treated as such by European Union officials and employees who are developing anti-racism policies alongside the general public. Racism against black people and African-race people is institutionalized and structuralized, even among international charities like mine.  

Time and again, organic intellectuals like Aimé Césaire, Franz Fanon, Paulo Freire, Cornel West, John Rawls, and Suryaraju Mattimalla, then and now, are 1000% right about crimes against humanity in the name of religion, caste, untouchability, race, and gender across time and space.

My only crime is being a black, untouchable, and sexual minority despite being quoted by international scientific communities, United Nations partner organizations, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, The Advocates for Human Rights in their 2022 report on the death penalty, or the University of Central Arkansas on its official political science website on the death penalty.
