When we were black Mohammed Muhammad Ali & Pelé were symbols of black inspiration and Michael Jackson made it mega big before the whiteness. When we were black tsotsis wore white shirt and smart matching pants and still greeted their victims, When we were black we greeted each other just, and gave way to women and the aged now we prey on the weak every weekends. When we were black we brought civilization to the world, yet Africa today yearns for the same, When we were black our parents became ancestors today they are raped before ascension. When we were black Nyerere, Lumumba, Nkurumah, Malcolm X knew no swiss bank accounts. When we were black Mandela was a terrorist and today a pop icon of a popcorn culture made for us, when I was young we were black and proud Africans before selfhate, black self extinction made outside, what a shame black Africa! #powerfulWords
