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:

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.

As a mixed race person you would be a fool to mis-construe my question for spitefulness, as my own person mental fortitude development since age “9” was inspired by the likes of Angela Davis and Huey Newton (yes! I know about his troubled personal life but that is irrelevant) as these are some of the people I respect immensely trailing competitively behind brother Malcolm,Walter Rodney, Sista Souljah, Assata Shakur, and Winnie Mandela etc.

My pointing this truth out does not mean that I am angry either, just surprised to see over my life time a high number of mixed race individuals intentionally opt to favor their “oppressor” side and on occasions even be intentionally nasty/hateful to their “oppressed” side when they should have had compassion for and aided their oppressed side.

So instead of fuming at my question lets look in the mirror and try to objectively and honestly find ROOT CAUSE answers to this strange human reaction to human negative constructs. After all, “RACE” itself is a European CONSTRUCT.

A sea of endless lies have been told, polished/embellished, maintained and steered. Now only we the people by honestly facing these lies and intentional mental distortions can we TRULY start addressing issues and correcting them for the good of humanity. You do not correct problems by “denying” them or neatly sweeping them under the carpet.

I am YOU and YOU are ME neither myself or anyone here on DACO hates you we just want those of you harboring this unfortunate state of being (as like I said I know a number of mixed race people who DO NOT suffer from this so there is no generalization done here) to be objective to reality and avoid invoking deep seated hate to your “oppressed” side as we are ALL in this thing together!

The question we should all first ask ourselves is who gives the person who gives me a job a job?

Thus, why are we conditioned via school and the mass media to pre-suppose that we have to go with hands wide open “LOOKING” for a job? Notice how neither the state, the educational system nor the media seems to point us (or encourage us) to figure out ways how we can generate our own income without leaning on the state system? If you have LAND, A LITTLE FAMILY TLC, TEAMWORK CAPABILITIES, WILL POWER, and are RESOURCEFUL/INNOVATIVE in thought what is wrong with you and a few friends teaming and starting up your own business projects and generating your own income? Genuine INDEPENDENCE starts with you and your own MINDSET!

Nigeria was a name derived form the colonial masters “niggar area” yet as known as this is not one person that came into position of power or authority saw it prudent to change the derogatory “name” yet they were quick to shout “Racism” on economic issues. A younger generation need to know these truths and need to start discussing it with themselves daily so as to better mentally position themselves when their turn comes to occupy positions of power and authority/leadership.

Far too many times in my lifetime have I seen people seeking employment acting as if the one providing employment owes them an obligation to do so! This poor mindset is very annoying to experience as all and any job offer is merely a two-way contract. Some one wants something done and you on the other should have the SKILLS or capabilities to provide what the first person wants done that he/she is willing to go into an exchange with you for.

Unfortunately, more times than none the scales are tilted towards the employers favor as there are often thousands of applicants for every single job so the competition alone is heavy. When we as individuals fail to understand that we need to come with something tangible rather than merely “expectations” then we approach the two way interaction with the wrong mindset. Imagine an example of a person coming up to you to fill a carpentry role that you need done and that person when asked if he has any tools for the trade says NO and then expects YOU to supply them for him. This may be a simple example but it is an endless true story also.

NO ONE OWES YOU NOTHING AND IT IS WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS REALITY WILL YOU THEN BE BETTER MENTALLY POSITIONED TO NOT LOSE ANY OPPORTUNITIES NOR ABUSE ANY FAVORS PASSED YOUR WAY. Each time you want the best for other that other often ends up abusing it simply because this simple fact here being explained has never occurred to them!

African Development can only happen when each and everyone of us understands and takes on, with dignity and pride, both personal and collective responsibilities rather than try to shelve them.
