This question simply speaks for itself! Thus, the locals of the land must have then “DISCOVERED” Christopher Columbus huh! The “Conquerors” self-embellishing distortions of reality: Unless you lack a brain then you may not get it! Do not worry as I am not “obnoxious” just honest!

A much needed understanding of the “How” human constructs are constructed and the “how” they get applied to society in addition to the “who” of the present day constructs that have for so long dominated the global perception of “African originated” people globally and contributed to the stifling of any meaningful African development locally on the continent level or globally as in the Diaspora! If you can help simplify the understanding of such concepts and their real-world applications for the community kindly do so as like always “knowledge” is power and detailed understanding provides the depth of mental fortitude needed to ensure one generation benefits in wisdom and skills from the one before it

This is a TRUE STORY and one that stayed in my mind for decades as I had hoped one day outside of class to meet this fool called TULA and ask him WHY he would see it beneficial to HATE his OWN KIND (worse still to even “discuss” it with some “white” South African girl whose parents had also “left” South Africa at the time of conflict in comfort and where living in a comfortable house in their new found country while he (Tula) was dumped in a dead-beat one room squat as a refugee) while doing his utmost to be “near” and “Liked” by the very same people who tortured him while intensely “Hating ME” simply because those who labelled themselves as “white” tortured him and they did not TORTURE ME in his distorted mind?

Sadly, semester ended and because I never wanted to cause a scene in class (as the last thing that I ever want is to be seen in dispute with my own kind giving “other” the opportunity for morbid joy) I never got the moment in time alone to meet this TULA fella beyond in the class where often he sat his distance as I certainly would have loved to know what makes a man degenerate to this low level of SELF-HATE. anyway, I do hope some one in this community can provide an answer befitting (beyond regurgitated text-book stuff) so I can find some solace to this sheer human stupidity!

The nuances of the outcomes of the inter-actions with europeans over centuries have never been fully understood, studied or acknowledged., Here we hope that the more astute amongst you in the community will be able to provide others a deep dive understanding of many of the legacies of the impacts (high and low) of African people having the sort of interaction that they have had with europeans over the past centuries. Only when the true (and full extent) depth of mental understanding of this interaction is grasped by the overwhelming majority of African peoples globally only then can everyone put into proper perspective their true positioning as human beings on this planet. We MUST start understanding WHERE it all went WRONG for us to be able to genuinely address all that needs to be addressed to ensure our future existence on earth.

We are all at the cross-roads and should step back and reflect on what it really takes to build a continent to a level of both societal development and technological protective development. If the overwhelming majority are spending their time in frolic, worship, dance and trance then WHO (please tell me who) will then be able to provide the effort, mindset, willingness, time, resourceful brain-cells to develop Africa?
