Well hi if you’re reading this. This is a rant and it’s not going to be pretty.
I’m in one of those moods that make me wonder if Black Africans are stupid or Arabs on the African continent are what my pastor meant when he was referring to the devil. Oh I’m black and I’m entitled to call my race stupid and there’s nothing you can do about it. But don’t you dare call us criminals. Don’t you dare call us apes. Don’t you dare tell us we have to be swept off the earth. (Oh yes,people can actually say that about blacks because of their color). And don’t you even think of calling us stupid.
I saw some comments someone who is obviously white made under a YouTube video showing a black man who was hanged upside down in Libya with two Libyans trying to decapitate him. He was like a human piñata only this time the kids at the party were holding axes. Who deserves this? But wait, that’s not the worst part. They was a crowd gathered chanting ‘Libya Hurra’, whatever that means… All had their phones recording this disgusting incident worthy of celebration. I’m not talking about the 18th and 19th centuries. No,no, I’m not talking about the 2oth century. This sh*t was recent. (I’m sorry I couldn’t help but cuss. Go ahead and judge me now) Just in case you don’t know, these people are Africans by virtue of their position on the continent, because Heaven knows no Black country will allow a crowd to gather and watch the gruesome murder of a fellow black man for absolutely no reason. Wait, there must be a reason right? And that is just simple. He’s black.
Why can I call black Africans stupid and you can’t? Because I’m Black and that’s enough reason. Why do I say black Africa is stupid?
1. Because the presidents do not do enough to better their countries so young black boys think it’s a great idea to risk being lynched or killed in Libya than to stay in their countries.
2. Because some Ghanaians and Nigerians think it’s smart to argue about whether or not Ghanaian jollof tastes better than Nigerian jollof whilst Ghanaians and Nigerians are being exterminated like bugs in Libya.
3. Because some black people still believe that salvation comes from the white man and they would rather sit on a raft which has a 90% chance of capsizing on the Mediterranean than to stay and build their homeland.
4. Because teenage African boys (well those in my country) are so shallow minded that all they can think about is getting laid.
Even with this, don’t you dare call us stupid too. Don’t you dare tell us we need to be colonized again. Don’t you dare tell us that we are poor because of ourselves. You made us poor when you came to rob us of all our minerals to make your nation Great. So don’t you dare judge us. As for the Arabs(Morrocans,Libyans etc) who live on our continent and think it’s a great idea to kill the black people, only God can judge you and give you what you deserve.
Black will always be beautiful.
Your anger is beautiful and well- directed. Keep on ranting! Maybe your voice will fall on poweful ears….or the ears of the masses where the true power lies. (And just to offer a smidge of comfort if possible, I believe that teenage boys on every continent are similar in that regard.) You and i have the same birthday, by the way. But I’m a 40 year old lady. I feel your fire. Don’t ever be ashamed of it.

Great rant, good points and well made 🙂 I can’t imagine that anybody would judge you for putting down your own thoughts in your own blog, but then again- what do I know? There are a lot of stupid people out there, black and white, African and not African.. people always seem to want to get down on those who are different.. in any way. Meh.. anyway, great post!

I just had to let it out because it hurts to have people judge and hate your race because of your color. I wouldn’t be bothered if anyone tries to judge me for this post. I nearly cried yesterday and this was my way of letting some of the hurt slide. Thank you so much for reading.☺💕💕

That’s fine, thank you so much for following mine. And yes, I know what you mean; sometimes you just have to let it all out. It becomes unmanagable otherwise. I’ve never experienced racism, but my boyfriend is Brit of Bangladesh origins and he has a bit- is so sad and so baffling.. I just wonder why people hold onto such hate.

This was very interesting to read! It is horrific that barbaric things still happen in this day and age. I don’t think all black people are stupid though-some are, some aren’t. It’s the same with white people.
I just wish there weren’t divisions anymore. I don’t get why skin colour is such a big deal to some people x

I agree, I was very angry then. Divisions are really not necessary. It is painful and annoying to be judged just based on your skin colour.
