Today I want to consider the side of colonization that is normal neglected, colonization was not only about controlling our land, but it was also about dehumanizing black people turning them from being human being to just being objects for furthering the interest of the imperialist without using their own mind, and to work like a robots. When the Europeans introduced their education in Africa their purpose was to brainwash us into being their objects that will work to promote their dominance working in their factories receiving a salary that is not even enough to live. Even today most European when they see a Blackman they see someone who is good to be just an employee not an employer. They used education and religion to destroy the pride of a Blackman and made a Blackman to hate himself so much, not just hating himself but to despise and hate everything about himself. Most black people these days spent most of their lives trying to be Europeans, some have even forgotten that they are black they are always the mouthpiece of the west. African women spent billions of dollars importing other nation’s hair like Indian hair and Brazilian hair because they want to look like those nations; they think their African hair is inferior compared to Indians or Brazilian hair. We are the only nation in the world that imports hair shame to our women who are not proud of their natural hair. Some of Black South Africans when they speak about our African brothers they say this people from Africa talking about our people, thinking that South Africa is not in Africa but in Europe they say this while undermining their African fellow brothers .They embrace foreigners from Europe as tourist while undermining their African brother calling them in different derogatory names e.g.(emakwerekwere/emangangawane)the hatred that was planted by the apartheid systems and they hate themselves and everything that is black and embrace and love everything that is white or European. People who hate themselves find it difficult to love other people; one must love himself before he can love others. Black people have lost confidence in themselves that is why they cannot have confidence in other black people they only trust the Whiteman. If a Whiteman says there is no healing for these diseases they will hold on to that and even teach that to their children because to them a Whiteman is like God you cannot disobey his word. . Blackman you are on your own no one will help you but yourself. The Xenophobic attacks in South Africa which it was actually Afro phobia were directed to African brothers by other Black South Africans who think that they are better than their fellow Africa brothers. Because they were taught to hate themselves as black people the hatred in them resulted in hating other black brothers.What happened in South Africa was a big shame and embarrassment to us as Africans ,I am very sure that our ancestors were angry by such actions towards fellow Africans .Africa is one big country this borders that we have today are also the results of colonization we should not be proud of them because they were made by the imperialist in order to rule us. Each colonizer was giving himself his own potion to govern and make those border posts. That is why today African are even priding themselves by their colonizers languages some called themselves English speaking Africans ,some French speaking Africans and some Portuguese speaking they says all these while hating their own languages. In most African countries the indigenous languages are second languages while the European languages are first languages even in government offices. How can you claim that you are free if your language is still second, if your language is second that means you are also a second because your language is you. Our blind presidents when opening parliament or in any other places their speeches are always written in European languages yet they are voted in power by Africans who cannot even understand those European languages, it’s obviously that they are in power to serve the interest of the west so they must always use their masters languages in order for the master to hear what they are saying while disregarding voters who cannot understand European languages. In Africa if you cannot speak the language of your colonizer you will be taken as a second citizen, useless uneducated somebody who will be denied most of the opportunities in life.Its like they are saying in order to live u must be able to speak the language of the colonizers.If you cannot speak that language all doors will be closed for you no matter how skillful you are. Blackman you are on your own. Most of the surname of the people in the Southern Africa are the same and that tells you that they are the same except for the border post that were made by the imperialist in order to rule and control them, they were using the very same statement that say divide and rule, even during the apartheid era they were dividing Africans according to their tribes to cause tribalism that can lead to each tribe fighting the other. Even today among the black people some tribes are thinking that they are better than the other because they have been brainwashed by the system.Most of the surnames that we find in South Africa are also the same as those found in Zimbabwe,Botswana,Zambia,Mozambique,Swaziland,Lesotho,Namibia and Malawi but to a surprise for instance the Sithole/Ndlovu in KwaZulu Natal will think that he is better than the Sithole/Ndlovu in Mozambique,Zambia,Swaziland and Zimbabwe but the difference in them is only the border post those people are from the same ancestors. The Sithole in South Africa will kill the Sithole from Zimbabwe thinking that he in South Africa is better than the Sithole from Zimbabwe yet the difference is only the fence that was made by their master they are from the same ancestors. Africa was one big continent and everyone was free to move anywhere he likes if he see that he can live better in a certain area until the colonizers came to separate us for their own interest. Visionary leaders have even spoken about the united state of Africa because they knew that we were separated by our colonizers for their own greedy interest. And today we are fighting and undermining one another because we were taught to hate one another and love the master with all our heart. When black people see a European person they just laugh even if they don’t know what they are laughing while hating one another as black people. Blackman you are on your own. Black people need to have a place where they will meet and speak about their problems without allowing white people in that meeting because our problems are not like white peoples problems.They must also stop compromising the problems of black people in order to please the whites, black people are the victims of the white people we must not forget that even if now we eat in the same plate with the white people and this must be told even to our children who are attending in those model c schools.The past will always shape the future we are where we are today because of the past, we need to learn from the past in order to avoid making the mistakes of the past.White people are always saying we must forget the past and move forward because the past is favouring them and it has put them to where they are today at an expense of black people and black people are also where they are today enduring poverty,hunger,homelessness,landlessness, diseases and hating themselves because of the past. 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. Everything for Africans was labeled as evil and theirs as good and approved by God. Black people have remained with nothing and they have to buy everything from the imperialist who has listed all African ways as they are from the Devil in order to sell us what is theirs. We have become a market for everyone because we have lost what belongs to us. They have made Angels to be white and made the demons to be black in order to make a black person to hate everything that is black including themselves,thinking that the people of God are white and those of the devil are Black and that is rubbish.They present God as a white person while presenting the devil as black and this is a way of insulting the black people and that has made black people to worship and trust them thinking they are worshiping the Almighty.I do not regret at anytime that I am a Blackman I am very proud to be black. Blackman you are on your own.
