Cheapo, Tipo, HB… What took you so long?
What took you guys so long to come out and clear all these allegations that have been mounted against you? Lots and lots of things have been said and it has taken over two decades and those continue to pile up. A lot of damage has been done to your name and the revolution you started. Why did you go to sleep, not caring to clear your name or defend your actions? Should it take a makeshift structure like the TRC before you could say something? Baccus Matthews died without refuting rumors that he promised to sell a bag of rice $5.00 when he became president. What took you so long? With your long silence, Liberians continue to reward injustice, corruption, lies, and the practices of the elites for which you gave your lives to oppose. Those who organized or became part of the revenge killings started in 1985 and then 1989 have run successful campaigns labeling you as the main cause of all of Liberia’s troubles. And you sat down “sekekeh” waiting for TRC moment to debunk these allegations? We have been defending you all these years waiting and hoping that you will come out swiftly and get on the offensive not only clear your name but continue to stand for those values for which you once organized rallies and gave speeches. You know what? Because you waited so long, those brandings got stuck. And really deep too. Even a jack truck may do little or nothing to remove that stigma that you were wrong and need to apologize for raising a voice against the TWP, that you fooled and deserted Doe and that you stand for nothing more than personal aggrandizement. People who were babies when those lies were told are now old enough to have grand children. They have lived their entire lives believing that you are the way you have been painted. How do you get it out of their system now? Maybe never!
