NOT MY BUSINESS

 At the time when racism was at its height in the U.S, it was then worse in the southern part of the country.
A young boy left home to spend time with is relatives in the south,while there, he dared by talking to a young white lady.
On seeing this, two white male beat this boy to death. They were charged to court and a jury composing only of whites read the verdict after hurriedly going through the court session. The two guys were found not guilty and they were freed.
After the court session,the mother of the boy said,"2 months ago,i was living in a lovely apartment,i had a lovely job and a lovely son, anytime i hear blacks are being persecuted in the south,i usaully say it's not my business,it's the business of blacks in the south. Now i know better,if only had been fighting along."

With all the recent bomb blasts and Northern crisis in Nigeria,i really do not mind the news much,cos i feel am not really involved,either directly or indirectly,though i always felt terrible about the bombings and all that,but have never done anthing conciously to protest against it.
But the recent U.N building bomb blast in Abuja,affected the mother of a friend of mine, that made me wonder,how close does this have to get to all of us before we take responsive action?

If there is anything we can stand for,now is the time!One dont have to feel the heat before believing that there           is fire burning,the flames are good enough.

Before you drop that newspaper or change the T.V station that talks about violence in the North think again. Is it really not your business!
