The tragedy of being a slave

Education for the colonial rebellion and turmoil, people must inevitably mean, why be limited and used to inculcate obedience and submission, so that the whole system to overthrow. "- WEB Du Bois

"It 's the white man who takes care of negro. But it is the Negro who creates negritude." - Frantz Fanon

"White is right
Mellow Yellow
Black, go back! "

Langston Hughes

Rant is not. Certainly not vicious. Anger at a sad situation? Maybe. Fury on ourinability to be free? Maybe. Everything was driven by me to see a security guard at a supermarket to ask (again) a black man to open his bag for inspection.

Africans living in Paris, knows that some African species, black of course, often naked, muscular, sometimes inflated, but still looking less menacing and more pathetic, dressed in a black standard economic problem, sometimes wearing sunglasses dark, often found on the doors of supermarkets and department stores.Perhaps the species exist elsewhere. This is not to be regarded as an African MIGR without paper, a street sweeper, timid soul unemployed, the majority, so to speak, in the capital Paris has become increasingly inhospitable. This special type is the guardian, the guardian of its gates Masters, a mastiff family, underpaid, but still proud - he has a job and its working documents in order. Two things of value and thousands of other Africans do not have. These protectionswhite and older women share the same phobia - fear of Africa. By metro and bus, as an African state next to her, the old white woman usually hold the bag close after casting an anxious glance at him. Black, often in Africa, will also call for fixing the African into the supermarket or department, and follow him with their eyes more often than not when they leave to ask him to open and view the contents of her purse like accost ( orwhile) white people, some of whom have admitted shoplifting away from the prying eyes of the camera quiet walk. "Bwana Hello, Have a nice day Sir, open the bag!" - The second addressed the African, of course. At the airport, the police officer or a black woman to alleviate discontinue black person and rarely have the courage to do the same with white.

It 's all related to the colonization of the mind, a stamped self-hatred and inferiority complex. There is no denying thatthe slave trade and colonialism devastated Africa has no end and that the wounds are still open for research for African development and hinder the overall progress. That said, it is equally true that all the ills of Africa can not be traced to these two evils, even though 50 years after the so-called independence from colonialism, slavery in Africa bourgeoisie has its corruption and lack of nationalism in the colonial (Mass) - - education and training. Colonialism was intentional murder, but wasactually worse. Where the Germans almost wiped out the Herero in Namibia, the French killed thousands upon thousands in the Maghreb, the British heinous crimes committed in Kenya and their colonies, the Belgians slaughtered 15 million Congolese, Mussolini killed at least one million Ethiopians while trying to colonize Ethiopia, but all other crimes pale when it comes to offense of colonization of the minds of millions of Africans. The first one on the latter crimecontinues. Slaveholders of America called the grass, the process deculturization that had no end, resulting in total subjugation, beliefs, spirit and acceptance of the slave owner. The slave hated himself, his culture, his blackness, his name, curly hair, lips and nose, and generally his whole being. This variety of "epistemic violence" as some call it, a lot of colonized Africans and Indians also affected. Structurally, British colonial control, India has concluded atime ago, but the British "persons, Indian in blood and color but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and intellect." Indian society worships the white skin, black hatred and millions of untouchables, yes, all black. In Kenya, a typical example was the attorney general Charles Njonjo presume that it was British and refused to shake hands with ordinary Kenyans as provoking the anger of the Kenyan students who, when they see often held signs calling Njonjoto "Go home to England." And not joking at all.

Brainwashing "is another word for mass brainwashing or what some have called" menticide. Colonialism and Iran's spiritual Jalal Al-e Almádi Occidentosis argued in his book. It took most of the colonized peoples. Afro-Americans have struggled against the "herbs" decolonise their minds, to realize that black is beautiful. It took a long time and still not prevail. Even James Baldwin, Eldridge Cleaver asput it in "Soul on Ice" could qualify as a "reluctant black", Malcolm X and others who work long hours "knocking on the head, their hair. The struggle for national liberation in Africa was not accompanied by a cultural struggle that was just as fierce. African leaders and the elite of power left by colonialism were black, but white heart and desire. Western societies that skin lightening creams and lotions make millions in Africa and India as theirproducts of the spread of diseases of the skin and strengthen their sense of self-loathing. Having a pale or white skin is a must. Many people colonized bleach their skin to identify with the colonial entity, ashamed of their origins and their hair to punish. The French refer to blacks as skin "saved color (couleur Sauve) meaning miraculously saved from disaster was that" blacks are light. "Even in Ethiopia, where colonialism never happened, this is called colordifferent shades, differentiating Ethiopians as black, red and brown - ignorance bliss and you can imagine what color is rejected. They wore wigs has won millions of Euros for frizzy hair wig makers (comic Chris Rock is an interesting film on the hair problem among African-Americans). And the African man is accused of going wild for white blondes who respond to the stereotype of the centuries - the black man want and desire for blue eyes blonde. We are the eternal King Kong, right? This isthe most serious crimes in colonial Africa - the colonization of our minds, now continued by the West in new forms. The African crave a caricature of the white man's culture of white ape, little or no self-respect. We are not even able to express ourselves in our misery and look up to stars and benefactors self-proclaimed self-appointed foreign to our situation and the voice we found some solutions. Africa was colonized and now he himself, without an independent statemind remains in its colonization, the perpetual blackness.

However, I believe that the Afro centrist positions often reflect, unwittingly, both in reverse and, sometimes, the inferiority complex that characterizes the basic colonized mind. We have nothing under the sun that came with the black person in Africa or to be proud of our heritage penetrate. AUTHENTICITE Mobutu launched the campaign and changed his name from Joseph Desiree Mobutu Sese Seko MobutuWaza Banga, but that did little to change their minds colonized or state of subservience to the West. Civilization, which is good, progress and what not are all relatively modern and not always white. The concept of mind as an occupied territory, this same spirit, always treated as the enemy within "native", filled with his own contempt absorb the education of the colonizer (tongue and all) and copies of the colonizer highlights the confusion and debilitating traumavoltage and the colonized forced to live under. Ngugi wa Thiongo, in his book "the decolonization of the mind, raises the issue when it comes to language and the dominance of English. He argues that authors should write their own language as a means of decolonization of the mind. How far is the importance and relevance of western education? Where the elite African pride and gloating, because, as is made in West Africa, he "sat at the feet of a white man and. Drank from the fountain of knowledge "in some Western University and received a diploma and have recourse to what is commonly known as the tradition is full of deadly mines automatic release is not offered -. In fact, this solution may be worse than the problem. many, many cases traditions harmful (? what is truly universal, non-Western), the total rejection of everything that is Western-label would be disastrous because the Taliban do not mind decolonized, and they will.Somalia's Al Shabab, who are opposed to music, sports and women's rights and to behead, or throw stones Rile acid in the face of young girls who go to school, not a better deal than the colonized mind. Choose your poison.

Hence the black guards and police officers tend to believe that all blacks are charged with first class are not due - they need to complain. The next time you go to a supermarket or a department store, do so voluntarily in order to open the black bagsArticles and books on the guards need to decolonize our minds. E 'tragic to remain a slave, not knowing at all. Fifty years after independence, usually fake, true liberation of Africa calls for an end to slavery and colonization of our minds.
