ABOUT POLITICS

The Spanish government just began a new phase with the same prime minister who have been heading the government for the past four years, he is to continue for four years making it eight years altogether and I wonder to myself what is the fun in politicking, before the election I watched the opposing party attacking and throwing direct accusation at the president, which reminds me of the little politics I got involved with, in my university days. A school of thought once said man is a political animal, on my bed as I reminiscent over this thought in my head before disappearing into oblivion, I asked myself do I like politics. I must confess I don’t enjoy playing dirty and politics is a dirty game, although I didn’t play dirty then, I had my fair share of down sliding, a lot of oppositions within and without. Ahhh, it seems so funny now, how I eventually became the president of the departmental association without bargaining for it, reactions from guys in my ex co who didn’t find it pleasing for a woman leader (though they did not voice it out) how some other guys in the department felt there must be a by election so as to allow a guy to be there ahhhhhh, so funny now. That was I how I became a womanist, I felt it was unfair on me as woman, am i a misfit? A sex object? (Though a large number of men believed the latter) Well, I want to state here that women are not sex object, I refuse to accept such terms, I though have seen a lot of women giving what they have in exchange for something but it is a error to generalize such an act!. Who were those I was advocating for then? My gender? Ask me now if I'm still interested in such a thing I will say a capital NO! my gender are called the weaker sex, it goes a long way weaker in thinking, knowledge, wisdom, strength it continues like that….. there are so many of them that struggles to shake themselves from the shackles of this masculine adage but some are too comfortable to accept the fact that they are just as the books says. That brings be to the question, Hilary Clinton and Obama who is my candidate, I am torn between two ends I want a woman president for once in America and also as an immigrant I want a Blackman too so what do I do?
