CIVIL ACTIVIST AND GUERRILLA WARFARE

Many African Americans have been significantly stacked in unequal world of disenfranchisement, segregation not mentioning several oppressions which mandated them to fight for their own. Definitely, during such time I would have initiated guerilla warfare since this was total disrespect and inhumane to the black community (Freedman, 2013). I mean, how could one would expect to oppress and disgruntle another person and expect diplomacy to stay play along. This is exactly what South African leader Nelson Mandela adopted after failing of non-violent means. Sabotage, ambush and tactical hit and run work best especially in incidents where blacks are targeted for no reason if not only demanding what is rightful theirs. Guerilla warfare is a very vital tool for the black community to pressure Nationalist party government to end oppression for once. Notwithstanding the work of civil rights in early nineteenth century, racial discernment and repression remained substantial therefore guerilla warfare comes in handy with such scenario (Freedman, 2013). Seemingly, to them, the lives of the black did not matter at all, that alone consequently cost the lives of some black community. Adoption of the guerilla was also utilized by Kwame Nkrumah despite how charismatic and gifted he was, also at one point espoused the tactic in his quest to protect his empire and the external enemies (Foy, 2012). In particular, movements demanding for the rights and freedom of the blacks had, had historical significance courtesy of guerilla plans as in that their cries could be heard so easily compared to the non-violent means used in the past. Perhaps it is through the same means that abolishment of slavery and established black rights have come to pass.
