RE: Cultural Identity Theft

in #africa7 years ago

We really need to embrace it so much. Every individual should seek to define his- or herself in a way that suits them. That’s what makes you, you.

Sure, giving our children traditional African names or occasionally dressing in kente cloth or standing for the Black National Anthem is fun, but actually embracing Africa is another story.

For black people in America, there is nothing that keeps us from embracing the African continent. There is, however, a chain that binds us to Europe and Western standards, that causes us to view Africa as the “other” rather than the “origin” that it is, not just for black people in the US, but for the entire World.. But thid mindset should be changed. We should be prous of our rrue origin of being African. Thank you so much @humanearl, this is a topic i am passionate about.
