Did you know you are a stereotype?

For quite sometime, I haven't blogged, forgive my tight schedule. But sometime just happened yesterday that I think has portrayed the stereotype syndrome deeply rooted in us Kenyans. I have always seen tribalism as an end in itself, better put, tribalism is just a by product of stereotype perception. The real product to me is a primitive cross cutting perspective on how we handle matters of national importance.
Just some few weeks ago an urgly incident happened in migori county. It was an urgly incident because it did not just disrespect Uhuru Kenyatta but also the presidential institution. As a matter my disappointment were made worse by the social media outburst that condemned the entire migori community instead of condemning the urgly character. We all played the all righteous and the ever sober self with out regard to our self discovery. One thing I know about you who is reading this post, is that ideologically, politically or even religious you are a stereo type, some would choose to call it conservative.
It is a disease if not an epidermic that is eating down our social fabric. Stereotype is a biased opinion, it is an insensitive phenomena when dealing with issue. It is the syndrome of seing the good and whitewashing the bad. It is the disease of seing the bad and whitewashing the good. Better put, stereotypes have got a narrow prism from which they can pursue issue. Stereotypes in nature do not empathize with the other party, neither do they have the good will. It is a mental deficiency that can explain why some judge people using their community background. I know the fast thing you did when you visited this blog you looked at my sir name and said this imbecile is a cord mouthpiece. Am a proud Kenyan and am will not allow myself be relegated to a tribal charlatan.
A little bit of that, a friend of mine who condemned the heckling of the president was overwhelmed with joy when they learned the whipping of raila odinga. I can't explain why it was so but I guess it is because raila isn't his/ her favorite. The pain that the president and the entire nation got from that heckling in migori cannot be worse than the pain raila got and those who adore him. Both of them are outstanding leaders with great political influence. If we are true to ourselves then the way we treat one leader must be the same way we should treat another, our political differences notwithstanding. Do to others what you would like them to unto you. If you expect the rest of the people to respect the leader of your choice, then it would only be prudent if you can emulate the Same. If you expect people to love you, then must you give that love.
Am not mad, am not partisan, my humble observation is that many of us are stereo types, and worse still we do not acknowledge that fact. You think you are learned and you still cherish tribalism, in the name of nature of the system, then my friend college gave you a piece of paper and left you with a half empty brain. If you are learned and you loved the migori incident and hated the kwale caning, even Harvard college cannot emancipate your mind from mediocre reasoning. If you are learned and you hated the migori incident and loved the caning, then naturally, you are a mediocre. Guess what in any group of people, mediocrity is the most counted, are you one of the many? If yes, then the tribal cancer of this nation begins from you.
