The Niggerization of the African - Badilisho

Americans who are of Polish descent will proudly refer to themselves as Polish American, or simply Polish. They will share with you the most common foods and customs of their culture. Americans who are of Italian descent will refer to themselves as Italian American, or Italian. They too will share the foods and customs of their native land. However, when it comes to Americans of African descent, they know very little about their native land and they refer to themselves as anything but African. Some call themselves Black or African American. The ill informed refer to themselves as Niggers or any variation thereof. Ironically, if you try calling them an African you may have a fight on your hands. Like their white counterparts, are African Americans a proud people or are they just proudly defeated?

[From this point forward, the terms African and African American will be used interchangeably.]

The African mind has been bleached of all recollection of its origin, and has nestled in a comfortable nook of nigger. The African has been niggerized! No other American sub-culture is more distant from its origins than the African is. This is partly due to a self-loathing that is evident but unspoken. The aim of this article is to clarify why the self-loathing exists, how it was implemented, and how the African can correct the damage.

Self-Loathing
The most prominent and singular historical reference point African Americans have is chattel slavery. However, it is important to clarify African culture prior to chattel slavery. Africans are the originators of science, medicine, surgery, calendars, metric systems, architecture, spirituality, astrology, astronomy and the list goes on. However, after the Greco-Roman invasion, these firsts were magically reassigned to Greek and Roman inventors. Africa was raped of its knowledge, and those same rapists would later return to the continent of Africa to enslave the people.

How would the Europeans justify the murder and enslavement of such great minds?

Tom Burrell, a pioneer in advertising, has written a new book titled 'Brainwashed; Challenging The Myth of Black Inferiority'. In his book he proposes that we must use our collective genius to somehow make it "cool" for black children to be intelligent.

Another great mind was that of Amos Wilson, author and sociologist.
