Open Letter to the Swedish Minister of Culture

Re. Do the right thing

Dear Lena Adelson Liljeroth

I am writing this letter to express my discontent about your racist conduct in this video
I am a person of color, a proud son of Africa and I am saddened by your inappropriate conduct in this video. How can a Culture Minister of a nation that champions human rights work, participate in a macabre genitalia cake cutting ritual, that defiles the struggle of all black people.

Perhaps you are not aware of the racist struggle black people have endured and fought, but I would like to believe that a top Swedish government official would know better than to desecrate the womanhood of a black woman.

It is easy for me to be filled with rage about your actions, but I shall turn to the teachings of Nelson Mandela and Dr Martin Luther King.

“I forgive you Lena
Not because i am weak
not because i am afraid
Because i am strong
I have my dignity and pride
I am a human being
created in the image of the father”

I call upon you to search your own heart and decide the appropriate course of action, to save the Swedish nation from your embarrassment. It is not my decision of course, but if i were in your shoes, i would apologize to all of humanity and then resign. In my opinion, it is the only honorable thing you can do, if you have any dignity left of self. You are a custodian of Swedish culture and I doubt your actions mirror the intentions of every Swedish citizen.

Do the right thing.

Regards
Tendai Tagarira
African Author and Humanitarian.
