Confession
I’m African and recently I have so much anger and lack of respect toward my country and Africa as a whole. Stupid people continuing to put white people and China in control of them. I fear sometimes I won’t have a country to go back to. It feels like I have no home in my own country. I went in April and saw this white woman shouting at a black man at a market and he just stood there taking it , placating her. Some workers were being called ‘kaffir,’ - yet ppl just take this bullshit. We get angry at white people as rightly we should - they are the devil yet we should be angrier at ourselves for allowing a lot of these things to happen. Oh and don’t get me started on those Chinese ppl who bring their useless goods and the so called African leaders - can anyone fathom such dumbness? Yet lots of Africans worship the idea of whiteness. Why do we care about the oscars not nominating black people - boycott that ish, let’s start our own whole foods, support black businesses - why is white approval needed for validation? Why don’t we all rise up globally and tackle this smartly - economically? Ok I’m rambling and am a bit tipsy but still if it’s so great being black why don’t we prove it instead of waiting for people that hate you to tell you you’re ok? I just want to be left to be happy and joyful in my blackness. If I ever win the lottery I’m buying an island and escaping there. And oh no white people allowed there unless they accidentally discover it of course. FYI this is not reverse racism.
