Jamaicans Forget Justice

So-called human-rights advocacy group known to me as Jamaicans for Justice for Some (JFJFS) has been publicly unravelling for weeks now.

What amazes me is the non-issue (my opinion) causing the unravelling, which proves what I've always spoken and written about JFJFS: It seems more concerned with personalities and profiles than any serious human-rights activism. Human-rights activism isn't a popular vocation and isn't for populists. If it were, human-rights activists wouldn't have anything to do.

Like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Jesus Christ, human-rights activists constantly swim upstream convincing traditionalists that 'unnatural' new ideas like equality for all, racial integration, sovereignty for colonised nations, and voting by women should be norms. Like Emily Davison, the suffragette who stood on Epsom Downs and was run down by the King's Derby entrant; Medgar Evers, early African-American anti-segregationist assassinated by white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith; or our own George William Gordon, human-rights activists must be prepared, if required, to pay the ultimate price for their causes.

I disagree. He is mixing metaphors.

If politicians who screwed up were as honourable to demit when things go awry in their organization we would be much better off. The lady did the right thing. If JFJ as an organization is to survive it will. And so will she.

Osborne has no credibility. Dr. Gomes would not have quit over this.
