WHITES have been ‘superior’, since time immemorial, not because they posses any greater mental powers, but for the simple reason that they have mastered the art of presenting themselves as gods and have found worshippers.
The whiteman has dominated, grown more powerful and covered a lot of ground not because he possesses any special skills, but has over the years mastered the art of riding the blackman.
The EU-Africa Summit in Brussels is a charade and is heartrending for many reasons.
Kusvika rinhi tichitasviwa nemabhunu?
The meeting in Brussels is definitely not a meeting of equals, but that of master and servant.
I am ashamed to say that the whiteman is not to blame for our ills, but ourselves.
Kusvika rinhi tichizvimbunyikidza, tichikanganisa budiriro yedu toga.
The whiteman has committed great crimes against the blackman and the horrible fact is that he has done it with the assistance of the blackman.
It is the blackman that was used to subdue and chain the ‘wild’ Africans that were captured for slavery.
It is the blackman that fed the blacks in the slave ships forcefully shovelling food into their mouths.
It is the blackman that ‘prepared’ and lined the blacks in the slave market.
The whiteman folded his arms while the blackman did his bidding.
And it’s been 400 years since slavery ended, but the blackman is still doing the bidding of the whiteman.
Every African attending the ongoing ‘meeting’ in Brussels is a disgrace and has no self-respect.
What is it that gives these Africans attending the feeling that they are better than the rest of us?
Europe has gathered not just as Europe, but the European Union meaning that they have come onto the table united as one people
Yet Africa attends not as the African Union (AU) but Africa made up of participants chosen by Europe.
When will Africa realise that it is a continent and that it has to decide and determine its destiny on its own without seeking approval or aiming to please the whiteman.
The continued fascination and veneration given the whiteman by some of our black leaders is embarrassing.
How can grown men and women of the continent that purport to be educated and Pan-Africanists be so in awe of the whiteman and get pleasure from being in white citadels and sitting at the whiteman’s table.
Selling short their fellow brothers and sisters.
The condescending behaviour of the whiteman, his belittling of the African, his disregard of him as a human being, his arrogance will not come to an end as long as there will be Africans who will continue to say yes baas.
As long as there are Africans who will not challenge this ‘god’ we will not make progress as Africans.
It is time to take serious stock.
The European Union always, without fail will speak with one voice.
They might disagree but all will adopt a common principle and will stick to it.
And we cannot do that.
Because instead of thinking of what is best for the continent and African people we engrossed and obsessed with being in the ‘good graces’ of the whiteman.
Africa has to wait, it comes second always and will never be an equal just because the whiteman has to be happy first.
I am ashamed.
The superiority of the whiteman is a fallacy, inzeve dzavanadzo hadzisi nyanga.
If we were truly united then we would know that we do not need the West.
It is the West that needs us.
