At first this question may seem like a stinging indictment on those who labelled themselves as “white” but it is not! Rather it is a question filled with HONESTY. If Humanity truly wants to become HUMAN these sorts of questions do need to be tabled for discussions because you cannot imp[rove if you sweep under the carpet vital ROOT CAUSE questions. The sooner we all learn to genuinely (not smoke screen by throwing in diversions) our reality the sooner humans can start to learn to live in peace among each other truly respecting each others diversity and not abusing it. If you want a “Better” world start by being HUMAN.

Sheer human stupidity has reared its ugly head endlessly when it comes to African affairs. For a while many in French colonized parts of Africa strutted around “PROUD” to call themselves French Africans even among those who had never set their foot in the colonial masters country. Thus, we have to ask where did this warped Mindset come from? Hopefully, those astute and conscious among the younger generation of Africans from former (well…They still are as of writing) french colonies can better put pen to paper and help everyone better understand the psychology behind the “HOW TO” of this sort of mindset!

Every existing system of governance and all previous systems from the advent of interaction with Europeans that Africa has had has been none other than an “ADOPTION” of foreign matter. That time has come for Africans to do their OWN thinking and designing. It is because many of you have left it to the inherited colonial state apparatus to come up with governance methods for the people. Sadly, if anyone would have carefully read/analyzed their own history and that of the European colonial masters they inherited these systems of governance from it SHOULD have be clear that these systems of governance (irrespective of which “ism” they adopted) are neither for the people or genuinely by the people but rather were designed top down for a minority CONTROL of the “people” and often times systematically repressive/violent and coerce dependency based.

Thus, there is NOTHING African, or genuine for that matter, in these systems as Africans prior to European interaction lived in harmony and peace with each other as the very fact that they got easily (nearly resistant free) colonized buttresses this point as no nation back in those days of bayonet rifles and cannons could swiftly conquer a land mass as humongous as Africa if the people in Africa themselves had long been war-faring mongrels themselves. So any senseless denial argument is baseless as Africa’s colonization was not done with todays’s modern warfare tools but rather it was done virtually as a walk in the park (much of it done even before the maxin machine gun was introduced) with next to no real resistance as the inhabitants themselves were not war-mongering mongrels so resistance was very minimal and conquest pre-assured.

As the YOUNGER GENERATION you need to LEARN from the lessons of those before you and learn your lessons WELL! Those before you were a major part of the problem as many were heavily indoctrinated (education, religion and by a mere “erotic” desire to emulate the “frolic” of their masters before them), heavily mis-educated and ignorant, dubious and compromised (as such even the military had been externally trained to be violent INWARDS and ineffective OUTWARDS as they could not even defend their own countries against the weakest of western nations but could be extremely relied upon to be repressive internally as subtly indoctrinated/brainwashed by their western military trainings and steered thinking to “fear” western external intervention) making it virtually impossible to stand on their own two feet .

You are the younger generation and it is your task to figure out ways for Africa to SELF-DEVELOP without reliance on others. This is not an easy feat but it is a doable feat if you all set your mind to it rather than wasting your time excited about everything thrust down your throats from the western world. as take PRIDE and find DIGNITY in building and maintaining your own development and not simply trying to “purchase” or imitating others. Start right here by thinking critically, in-depth, Outside-the-Box, and objectively about the question asked above:

With so much intentional orchestrated indoctrination deeply embedded into the academic system that African people inherited from their oppressors one has to ask how can Africa as a society start to roll-back all the layers of mental indoctrination that for centuries has been layered on it:

This has to be done because the existing MINDSET is probably Africa’s biggest stumbling block. If at any point in time you have come into direct contact with the average African supposed scholar you would know that they seem to regurgitate virtually everything they have been taught/spoon-fed and actually know NOTHING by and of themselves which often impedes having decent discussions (the positive) together as you end up having only “debates and/or arguments” (the negative).

The depth and level of penetration that this centuries old brainwashing of the average African mindset has over the way the present day African originated person (be that an African in the mainland or an Afro-American or Afro-caribean etc.) educated in institutions (formulated on western criteria that are genuine African Self-development development content-agnostic) modelling quasi modelling themselves on inherited/”handed down ” constructs for learning behave towards their own kind greatly compounds the task making it not an easy feat. Thus,it will involve deep understanding and visualization that will need to deconstruct layers of human constructs deeply embedded within the mind prior to even putting an educational system design in place. Hopefully, the community can come up with practical step-by-step ways of achieving this.

Sadly, we seem to be the one race that failed to QUESTION the things we INHERITED. The oppressor tells us put a white wig on your head…We say Thank You Massa!! They say, create an economy for tourism…we say Thank you Massa never rationally questioning just accepting every excuse they provide as reasons. They even provide what is slated as “benefits” of us and like handicapped children incapable of our own thought and assessment we say once again…Thank you Massa!

Even 60 years after so called independence we still fail to question the sense in what we do and what we continue to promote from the legacies of our past. The sad thing is it even looks stupid let alone it being stupid! Just as we have asked the women still stuck in colonial second class citizen mindsets to remove their horse tails we ask the so called mis-educated African men in positions of authority and power to look in the mirror and admit their own stupid actions and then take appropriate corrective actions. Take the damn inherited wig OFF! Not only does it make you LOOK stupid it actually reinforces to the OPPRESSOR that you are stupid! don’t hate your own kind for being honest to you simply Look in the MIRROR and THINK-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX that was planted on you as it is that BOX that is stifling you and you in turn stifling YOUR OWN kind.
