People, don't get me wrong, I don't believe in discrimination but at the same time, I think we need to defend our heritage. Europeans know this well, you can be a black inhabitant of a European or Asian country but you'll never be in a position of much power in that land. I think that goes for African lands as well. If a black person has never had a certain position in Europe, why should a white person have a similar or same position in sub-Saharan Africa? We are far too giving, it's sad.
Below are some articles of achievements by black people, & I have to say that it's not a bad list of achievements. Africans are capable of far more technical works than simply redesigning spears & cowhide shields. This then begs to question; if we can achieve all this, why can't we re-engineer our communities for the better? Do we lack a sense of self-determination so greatly that all we're good for is being beggars to the world? Surely, we can make our own lands, feed & clothe ourselves. What is it that we're missing? Even the most communist (ubuntu) lands were able to make shelter & employment for their people. The time of the hut-dwelling, illiterate, loin cloth wearing African is dead, he has no place in the modern world. We need to mould a new Africa that represents the people who live in it today & their present culture & heritage. An Africa that won't leave us disenfranchised in our own lands.
Mali before European colonisation.
