The purpose of Blackman two is to provoke our black brothers to arise and shine among other nations, some of our black people might be offended by this but my intention is just to put an awareness to our brother to be proud of who they are. I wish to see black people regaining the dignity they deserve among other nations. At present all the other nations are looking down at us and they are looking at us as an inferior race. Those who have read Blackman one they will remember that I was writing about black people hating themselves not just themselves but everything about themselves. Let me remind our African brothers that true greatness comes from within; one is not considered great by imitating others but by being self and showing the potential within. Followers will remain followers no matter how have they been taught to follow others. As long as Africa keeps on imitating and following America, Europe and Asia, Africa will remain a developing continent that is always begging for help yet most of the natural resources come from Africa. We have seen the potential of Europe, America and Asia they have displayed their knowledge and talents to the world while Africa is just learning and following the knowledge and talents from those continent. When will Africa stop to be a follower and start to release and display her potential so that she cannot be considered inferior but great as true greatness comes from within not from following and imitating others. Before one can be respected and be loved, he needs to firstly respect and love himself to make it easy for other people to love him and respect him. How can you be respected if you cannot respect yourself? Black people were taught and are still learning the art of hating themselves in everything while loving and respecting other nations. Blackman you are on your own no one will make you respected among other nations except you. It is you black men who will make yourself walk talk among other nations having earned the respect that you deserve.
Culture- a nation it’s a nation with its own culture without your culture there is no reason for the existence of that nation. Black people were taught and are still taught to hate and criticize their culture without knowing that when you hate and criticize your culture you are hating and criticizing yourself. Churches are the worst when it comes to hating and criticizing our culture because religion was and is still a tool that was mainly used to destroy African culture. Africa is not suppose to be like Europe otherwise the will be no reason for Africa to exist if Africa wants to adopt European or American cultures. Most African has ceased to be themselves they spend the rest of their lives imitating to be Europeans and Americans. I am very proud about Nigerians producing African films and that is what we need in Africa instead of depending on these western films that promotes western cultures .But the sad story is that most of those Nigerian Films are promoting western life styles at the detriment of African cultures. What I don’t like in those films is that they are mostly undermining and criticizing African culture in favour of western cultures. Every time when they show some films which have African culture they will end those films by emphasizing that African culture is irrelevant this days but western cultures are superior and they are the way to go. This is also the same with SABC television and their radio stations here in South Africa it’s like they are existing to undermine our culture while promoting western culture, Every time when they talk or show our culture it is when they want to criticize it as if it is no longer relevant this days. We are the ones who are paying those TV license for them to promote western culture at the expense of African culture ,why don’t they demand the west to pay them TV license because they are representing the west not Africa. We need African films that will appreciate and promote the beauty of African culture. Most of these people who criticize our culture are the people who have little or no knowledge about African culture especially the religious people. Teaching someone your culture comes with economic gains to the one who is promoting his culture but it also has economic loss to those who are adopting other people’s culture. Blackman you are on your own no one will free your culture except you, for how long will your culture be considered inferior even in your own land? Other nations are fighting and defending their culture they are even prepared to die for their culture while you are insulting your own culture, don’t you see that you are insulting yourself?
Here in South Africa we have European people from Spain, Portugal,Greece,Italy and other European nations ,when they come to South Africa they form associations that will protect their culture from assimilation. They do all they can do to maintain and preserve their culture while they are in a foreign land. That is why we found even their restaurant in our countries and they teach us to eat their food for their economic gains. I will one day write more about economic gains that are associated with upholding your culture and teach it to other nations, and I will also write about economic loss through undermining your culture. Africans are like chameleon they can easily be integrated to any culture without any resistance. African Americans have fully integrated to western society in a way that most of them do not even know their surnames they don’t even know who they are, they are called by European surnames instead of their real African surnames. There are several nations that were forceful moved from their countries, but the good thing about them is that they were not allowing anything that will interfere with their culture they maintain their culture at all cost even if it means death because they knew how important their culture is. When one lose his culture it’s like he has stop existing .Most of our African brothers in America have completely lost their identity they don’t know who they are? that is why they are calling themselves with their former masters surnames and those surname were given to them when they were still slaves .I wonder what happened to their real surnames and their mother tongue., they don’t know what tribe are they from, which part of Africa are they from as a results most of them have turn to Christianity because they have lost their culture. Such integration can only happen to Africans because they were taught to hate themselves some are even trying hard to change the colour of their skin. We have Chinese and Indians in our country they have been here for a longtime but they have successful maintained their culture which includes their names,surnames,food,music,religion,special days,festivals,marriage,burial ways,clothing e.t.c they have also taught us to follow their customs while undermining ours. Some Africans here in South Africa are now cremating their love one instead of following our burial ways. Black man you are on your own no one will love you if you continue to hate yourself.
Religion. It was not the white people who taught black people about the Almighty God, Africans knew about him long before the Europeans came to Africa. They found Africans worshiping the Almighty in the way he revealed himself to them. They were calling him according to the way he has revealed himself to them, each and every time when crops were ripe they will gather some and burn them for the smoke to go up and that was their way of saying thank you to the Almighty that is what is called first fruits in the bible. As part of their colonization strategy they demonized the way African were worshiping God and they say their ways of worshiping were the ones that were approved by God in order to destroy our culture and religion. Africans today are not even aware that Africans have their own religion that was also approved by God they keep on following other nation’s religions and that is strengthening the roots of colonization. Preaching all these foreign religions in Africa is to take Africa back to slavery. We cannot claim that we are free if our culture and religion is still taken as inferior to the foreign western religions. To be free is to be yourself not imitating and following religions that were not even known by your forefathers. It’s a shame that our African religion is about to vanish in our continent because we are busy promoting western and middle east religions here in Africa. Chinese and Indians have tried successful to maintain their religion as a results they are becoming successful also economical because religion has economic implications. I become very surprise to find an Africa king promoting western religion that show that he is lost and deceived. A nation that undermines the teaching of their forefathers is a lost nation, that nation will never prosper. We Africans have forgotten that the very same people who came with their religion were the very same people who rob us of our land,natural resources,livestock and kill our forefathers, but today we are busy preaching to our people that very same thing that was used to rob us and brainwashed us. We hate ourselves in a way that we also hate what our forefathers were believing .We are not better that our forefathers even if we have graduated in following the western system. Blackman you are on your own. I am not a religious person I believe that all religions are manmade and are just for power,profit,dominion,control and they cannot save any man, but I would have prefer Africans to stick to their religion which it was better than these western religion that destroy morals in Africa. Africans do not need any of this foreign religions we can be far better off without them, we must at least go back and love what is African instead of all this western religion that have wiped all the moral values in Africa. If God wants to speak to Africans he will send an African not a European to Africa. Some people are claiming to know God better that others claiming that God has spoken to them in the mountain and we must listen to what they say. I think God must write his laws on the sky for everyone to read them without anyone telling us his will in the name of God, that will stop all this people who want to control us in the name of God claiming they can hear God better than us yet they just want to brainwash us, God has not spoken to them they just need us to follow them as if we are following the Almighty. The day God will have a massage for Africans he will send other Africans not Europeans and he will speak clear and be heard by everyone not one person in the mountain. You are on your own Africa no one will hear a massage from God on your behalf but you will hear the massage yourself and teach your own children.
Blackman part 3 will come soon which it will be the last section of this article .I am very sorry to those who will be offended about this articles.
Most black people hate almost everything about themselves ,they hate their skin colour, their short hair, texture of their hair, shape of their nose, shape of their lips, from their head to their soles of their feet, their culture, their religion, their special days, their medication, their food, their clothing, their values, their language, their music, their education, their marriage, their burial ways, their sport and their ancestors.
