The hypocrisy of Flag Nationalists

Very often when something bad happens in the world and people are posting the flags of those countries in solidarity with the victims , there are pockets of individuals who often post something like, why not stand with those in Africa? Or some other country they think deserve attention.
My take on this is as written about before, nobody cares about a group of people who don't care about themselves.
Secondly, if those people really care why not post those flags as  model examples of what they are trying to say? This act would have made it easy for many to follow suit.
Finally, when someone actually post these flags, many of these hypocrites end up not endorsing in any manner shape or form.
I find it difficult to say that because I come from one part of the world , I should not pray for those who come from another..
Racism will not be defeated by reverse racism. You either model what is right until you win or else risk perpetuating the status quo.
I was born and raised in Nigeria but made Britain my home. I care about both as I care about the rest of the world. One does not have to be to the exclusion of the other.

Hillary or Trump? Who cares?

This will be my last post about this issue that has dominated our space for a while. I will not bore you by rehashing all that has been widely publicised already.
One thing stands sure whatever happens in November, America will never be the same again. The rest of the world has stood on the sidelines watching her wage war in Afghanistan, Iraq and by proxy in Syria. All without a satisfying conclusion. They have watched as balance of power has been floating towards the East with many world leaders running of to China to pay homage to possibly the new Superpower? Many have watched as they tried everything to ridicule their first Black president and Much more shocking, they have watched as a Mediocre runs for the highest office in that land and thousands flocking to support and listen. One thing stands for sure, many will not respect America ever again.
It reminds me of all the Empires that have come and gone. This tells me maybe this Empire is about to go as well. It will still exist and maybe try to wield some influence in the world but never again on the scale we have been used to and not with the kind of cooperation she has come to expect.
So Hillary or Trump? I don't really care anymore because it's become clear to me that if Hillary wins, then they have a bit more time with God's mercy but if Trump wins, then I can categorically state that judgement would have commenced on that land. Pray for Gods will to be done. That is all many of us can do right now:
