Pity that some people will find nothing better with their lives other than hating what they can't undo all the time....I think this is misuse of primitive energy. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

I have always wondered why referring to someone as Kikuyu, Luo, Kamba seems offensive but referring to Maasais and Somalis by their tribe seems OK. @Rorest, Nditoest! The fact is 3 kikuyu singers face hate speech charges,we cant say it any better,we didnt born them kiuks. Last week maasai in kitengela killed 6 lions,note the tribe was MAASAI. PERIOD! No, I am not supporting @klyrics. Infact, I think we should just stop referring to people by their tribes. But I wonder why it is offensive to refer to people by their tribes only when they come from 'politically active' tribes. Imagine if someone refers to you as wewe Jaluo or Kikuyu or wewe Mkamba, you would find it offensive wouldn't you? But it is normal to find people referring to the Oles as 'Maasai'. Even the media told us that Maasai herdsmen killed lions in Kitengela! The same media did not tell us that Kikuyu musicians were arrested for incitement or Luo youths damaged the railway! Is there something we can get from the Maasai? Or are we being unfair to them by treating them in a manner that is unacceptable to other tribes?

@Lolest, The same reasons as old.... in your younger days, if you did Something silly or stupid,you papa would say,"mjinga kama mama yake"(No offence to our dear ladies pliz)....when you topped class,he would brag to his agemates,"mwerevu kama baba yake".....It's when and how it is used.In the case of Masaais killing lions,the act would be considered heroic.Not so a Mu-gikuyu who sings ill of others (BTW,where did the name Kikuyu come from?) Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Given how people are reacting, you'd think that I lied in the headline!

When he said Wajaruos are mad people were on his case! Maybe Musicians Accused of Hate Speech would have been more apt.

My personal distaste is that for one who has displayed immense brilliance and maturity in past threads and posts, you fail to see that to the Agikuyu community, you are engaging in the same legal transgression that the "kikuyu" is going to be charged with. Secondly, the sheer glee you display in your choice of words gives the impression that you would love for the Kikuyus to knock each others heads right out. Finally, up until now, I have held you in deep respect as one of the more sober and enlightened Citizens of the Virtual Republic. Now every thread or post with your handle will always have the additional connotation of Negative Tribalist. Such is the profound pity.

Her Majesty's Government denies Karenjin super athlete visa to the Olympic Games after he allegedly stabbed a Kikuyu 23 year old lady reveler in the stomach....... @ KenyanLyrics, sounds elegant, doesn't it?
