They tell us that our stories are not worth being universal models – that our
stories are false, just because they don’t understand our heritage.
They tell us that our ancestors were evil
and that we should abandon them and deny them, while we adopt the names of European ancestors and idolize them.
They tell us that we are lesser humans, and
that we would only be considered higher class beings if we acted and spoke like them.
They make our people
believe African culture and ways comes second to European’s – But they lie.
They told us that our deities are worthless
and fake but in the dead of night they steal them and take them back to their lands, and place them in museums for economic
purposes.
They said our herbs and medications were
not effective, because they were not endorsed by foreigners. But beyond our
back they export our herbs to the labs to produce various drugs.
They took away our respect and use of our
precious herbs and made us buy their packaged poisons all in the name of
Healthcare.
A million and one lies they have told about
us. A million and one times they tried to make us feel less worthy of ourselves
and our heritage.
But for every time they try to push us to
the wall, mother nature, our Gods and our ancestors raise up warriors who would
fight for the people, and remind them of their place in the hierarchy of
things.
Time and time again, Africa fights back,
fiercely and subtly - through undiluted culture and fearless liberators.
Africa has all it needs to lead the world
again. The outside world should stop trying to teach us how to live.
For hundreds of thousands of years, our
ancestors blessed this world with their ingenuity. And for thousands of years
to come, Africa will still have her Gods living amongst the people.
Let the cunning deceivers keep their lies.
We who are chosen know the truth. And by African laws and ways, we shall
overcome.
