The
only way colonialism could have turned around to be beneficial in a way to the
black people was if blacks in places like the U.S, Great Britain et al, wielded
strong mediatic, political, scientific and industrial powers today like their
white counterparts which could then develop into their looking back home to Africa
and other parts of the world where the black race continue to suffer some sort
of injustice, poverty, neglect and sometimes systematic genocide, And fight
against such injustices.
How
many world renowned black scientists are there in the U.S and Great Britain?
What tools or scientific discoveries for the enhancement of the Black race have
they invented? We are all waiting on a white scientist to develop a vaccine for
malaria some day, a sickness which kills 3000 African children every day, one
child every 30 seconds. Why would an all white government spend its money,
energy and resources investigating a sickness that does not affect its people,
except it is a gimmick to siphon the wealth of the African people, or worst
still as is often the case use them for experiment with a hidden motive?
And
when you talk to blacks in the U.S a great number of them are quick to dissociate
themselves from Africa, some of them slight, ridicule and even discriminate
against Africans, none of their popular stars have any investment that directly
links them to Africa, it is still the white slave masters who continue to
exploit all the gold, diamond, petroleum, uranium, coltan among many other rich
mineral resources in Africa. In fact, some of the companies still benefiting
from Africa today are the same companies that made huge sums of money from the
slave trade or in some cases the direct and indirect affiliates of these
companies. Majority of the blacks in the U.S are being misled to believing what
they are not and at the slightest demand for their civil rights they are shot
to death by those who once hid under the klu Klux klan cloaks to perpetrate the
most barbaric, unjust and inhuman acts on the Africans stolen into slavery
centuries ago, but who now have even been uniformed and legalized by the American
authorities to continue to carry out the same barbaric acts on the descendants
of the same Africans but this time under a legal framework that certifies them
as police officers.
Every
now and again, African American youths are killed by white cops in the U.S on
any flimsy excuse, yet the worst thing still being that majority of African Americans
themselves, have lost touch with their reality, their origin, and outrightly
lost their focus and their orientation. Rather than begin to make the best use
of the little advantage they have as American citizens and look for ways to be
useful to themselves and their race like all other races in the world, they buy
into the vague idea of one human race and even begin to estrange themselves
from their own people and anyone that looks like them, thereby denying their
reality.
Until I
see some real level of Black consciousness in our people, that will propel Blacks
all over the world to begin to make a yearly pilgrimage to Africa as the
Muslims do in Saudi Arabia and the Christians do in Jerusalem or Rome in the case
of Catholics, we will continue to be what others want us to be. Africa should
be a holy land for Africans at home and in the Diaspora. We must fight for our
own respect as a people and stop pleading with others to accept us as human beings,
anything short of this is slavery. We are not Caucasians, Arabs, Chinese, Indians
etc, WE ARE AFRICANS!
