The Debunked of Dr. Alan White and the Myth of the Saviors of Africa.

It seems to amaze me that some Liberians would respect a White man’s voice than that of their brothers and sisters. To be clear, by me stating “WHITE” doesn’t means that I am anti-America or anti-White European Americanism; it means that I am anti-hypocrisy. I am anti the “White Savior Complex,” that Africans must be brought from the dark, by, and save by the grace of the White man.

In this analysis, I will state why I am “anti” these things. To be very clear, I grew up in Suburban America (Aurora, Colorado, USA). All my life, I had spent it mostly with White folks and grew up with, and around “diverse” minds, and have come to see the content of a man’s character than the color of his skin. For me to see “RACE” in everything, would debunk my unique American experienced, with White and Minority America.

(Some Liberians) Africans came to believe every word, from Dr. White and had taken it to social media because it comes from a “WHITE” man. Some would even say “it cum from ley White man mou so da all truths.” This kind of action raised the African borderline colonial mentality. From the outside, looking in, as a Liberian-born, raised an American, it tells me that some of our African (Liberians) brothers and sisters do not “THINK” for themselves. By me stating facts, shouldn’t have anything to do with any form of degradation of some (Africans)Liberians. But the truths should liberate us, not offend us.

I want to change that mindset, that the Black “African (Liberian)” man is just as educated and as knowledgeable as the “White” man. There should never be any “superiority complex.” That the words spoken by Dr. White are right because he’s “superior.” It becomes a query when we come to believe everything that comes out of the mouth of the White man and dis-valuing the facts of others, who aren’t.

Dr. White put Charles Taylor away is a myth that should be debunked. He did not, Sierra Leone and Taylor’s inner circles gave him up over millions. Nigeria also participated, and his failed actions hung him. By me stating how Mr. Taylor was put away, doesn’t mean that I side with any form of his past crimes. And, if, there, maybe, he could have been a criminal, or perhaps not. But who am I to speak for a man who’s behind bars? But if, there were; injustices, I don’t support and will always preach against it.

The post from some of you, hailing Dr. White is a joke. He understands Liberia, from hear-says are also myths that should be debunked because even some Liberians, themselves do not understand what is going on in Liberia. I state this to say, that those days of the Masters’ interest should come to pass. Africa is not a continent of fools that the others who are ordained civilized must safe all barbaric “Africans” and give them a government that is not merit.

“Whatever people tell you, you always have to verify and checked it,” this was the words of Dr. White, on TV2 Africa, melting in Liberia’s affairs, on a talk show without “EVIDENCE” which shows that, he, himself, is, admittedly, out of touch. As I watched further, Dr. White claims were bamboozling and when I saw the shares on Facebook from some Liberians who sees him as their “WHITE SAVIOR” moved me. It points me back to the history of Africa that Africans should find the “White man’s savior” approach to help us “deeply in solving our problems.”

On the other hand, by me stating truths doesn’t mean that Dr. White claims should not be considered, it should, and thoroughly investigated. But, some would say “Who are you, Dr. White, to come and even investigate African countries and Presidents while you are not doing the same for your country’s President, Donald J. Trump who has Russia’s connections?” “What’s your motive?” Are you Liberia’s new HERO, just because you pushed the case against Mr. Taylor and got him put away?”

“Weah had promised, so I am told, and I talked to people who confirmed to the extent that I believe that there are some validity to it,” Dr. White said, speaking about Liberia’s election. He states this to say that Weah will come to be President and then help Robert Sirleaf to be the Senator of Monserrado. First, let’s break down Dr. White statement, “I am told” doesn’t holds up in court. The question that would then follow would be “by who?” Unity Party? ANC? LP? ALP? Who? He also stated that “he talked to people.” What people?

This kind of statement is dangerous for a country who’s still trying to find oneself through the practices of an illiberal Democracy. Dr. White, if you ever read this, your statements on TV2Africa were reckless. You are not a credible source for anyone to come and believes those false statements. You might fool those who have the “ White man” can ‘civilize’ the Africans mentality” by his truths, that should not be thoroughly questioned, but not by some of us who graduated with Honors in your great country and had lived among you since Elementary.

Dr. White claimed in the Liberia’s election, is as democratic as possible but should be debunked because of its irrationality that would push Liberia’s efforts to rebuild to the edge of collapse. One thing that bamboozled me about Dr. White is that he didn’t even study the after-effects of Pres. Charles Taylor and the President that came, right after. But instead, he brought up Amb. Weah’s name, to nudge it with a “Taylor.” To be clear, “Jewel Howard-Taylor.” Dr. White had played “HERO,” in bringing one of the Taylors to justice, with that “savior mentality,” he just might be digging some evidence to nailed another or perhaps, Vice Pres. Boakai ( the power greed General, were recently part of Ellen’s so-called Corrupt Govt. for 12 Years and were the first ones to share his (Dr. White’s) video on Facebook for Publicity), Hon. Brumskine, Urey, or, maybe, Pres. Sirleaf.

Dr. White also talked about Amb. Weah winning the Presidency and then appointing Robert Sirleaf as the Senator of Montserrado County. My question to this Doc, would be, “Do you think that Liberia is a Dictatorial Country, where the President would rise one day and appoints people who are not qualified for a position?” “Does twelve years of stabled Democracy sounds like a tyrannical State to you, Sir?” Last time that I checked, there were Senatorial Elections held in Montserrado, and the person with the majority votes won in the runoff.

In summing-up, I wrote this analysis to state that some of you, (Liberians) Africans need to liberate oneself from that “White” man as a savior mentality because Dr. White claims don’t make any sense. You can not base, one so-called “CLAIMS” on a lot of hearsays without Profound Evidence.

In any court of Law, especially in the United States, the heart of any case is profoundly based on the bestowal of Evidence. There are two types of evidence — Direct and Circumstantial.

Direct Evidence speaks for itself: a named informant to the accounts, a confession, or a weapon. Circumstantial Evidence is a fact by implication or deduction: the appearance of the scene of a crime, statement base on truths, not a lot of hearsay, that insinuates a connection or link with a violation, physical evidence that infers unlawful activity.
