We of the Negroid blood must regain our self esteem.

I have often argued that the Negroid race were not made of a lesser God but the fact is that there appears to be a fundamental problem with the mind of the Negroid people hence the need to decolonize our minds.

Is it not the scriptures that submits thus–>As a man thinks in his heart, so he is! One is bold to add that our spoken words are a reflection of our thoughts just as our thoughts a reflection of the information we allow and accommodate in the quarters of our minds and the information we allow a reflection of the sphere of the society where we live in and the information we submit ourselves to.

How come!

How come we plant potatoes in our farms even in our villages, harvest it,slice it into sticks, fry it and when it’s ready to eat,we call it French fries. What has France got to do with your farm where it was grown or your kitchen where it was fried?

How come when some of us intend to fly,we feel safer and more at peace when we peep into the cockpit and discover that the pilot is White as though that automatically guarantees our safety.

How come we assume the meal is better cooked when we see that the cook at our hotels have a white skin. We are quick to patronize restaurants owned by White people even when we can’t eat a bulk of what they make.

How come we are quick to showcase the works of Italian and French tailors and feel very good when the Ralph Lauren logo is visible on our shirts and call it dressing down when we wear our native attires.Who told you dressing corporate means when you dress only in the white man’s way!

How come we feel the road will be better constructed when the “engineers” have a white skin not minding his capacity or qualification.

Some of our ladies are more comfortable having a White doctor check them than a black one even when he may be more competent.

All over the world,black people find it easier to submit to a white boss than a black one.

How come!……….Who has bewitched us!

Is this an offshoot of the Slavery dispensation or the Colonial era? Or is the Negroid simply disadvantaged in his mind.

Today the President of the US will host African leaders to give instructions and toss aids at them, tomorrow the Chinese will do same ,the next day the Japanese will and our “Leaders ” rush to these nations to beg for all manner of freebies ,even for used clothes to be sent to Africa and they will pass through London to take Vitamin C and we celebrate them like achievers when they return.

Who imdeed has bewitched us!

Even the Arabs and Asians have started to rise to their game by re-acquiring their self esteem and taking the lead on the relay course of development while we find solace in receiving used military hardware from Israel and Germany .
it is not lost on me therefore to submit to us that we Negroids must liberate our minds and regain our self esteem. We must place value in ourselves and educate and re-educate our minds.We must endorse it in the quarters of our hearts that the White skin doesn’t connote any form of superiority or intelligence, we must celebrate ourselves and patronize our stock.
Africans are good people, the Negroid are hardworking people we must chanel our hardwork towards our productivity and emancipation and make the best of what we have by first decolonizing our minds.

The above are my thoughts. Share yours!
