Ninapojiuliza kuhusu waafrika na kuumia sana

[Nyani Ngabu]

So I do realize that we have poor leadership, I do realize that we have a culture of mediocrity.But are these things inherent in us? Are they genetic? Is there a curse against us?

Yes there is. If there wasn't one we wouldn't have been sold/ taken into slavery in the first place and then subjugated to colonialism and neo-colonialism later on.

They had the upper hand from the get go and that's why things happened the way they happened and didn't happen the other way round. Think about

So is this issue inherent with white people too? They were sold to America as well. Do you know the origin of the term "slave"? What about those slavs and other whites who were sold?

The history of slavery tells how blacks were seen as better slaves because of their ability and the fact that they could be easily identifiable.In the beginning they were all sold as indentured servants.

For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee (of CFP Harvard Financial Educators) was reading in a morning, January 2009 on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn't hear it.

Dee Lee, CFP Harvard Financial Educators​

THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES. We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS.

Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, "The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book." We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along), but few read consistently, if at all.

GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal. Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their 450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%).

Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it. Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing.

They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, And they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them "Status" or that they have achieved their Dream.

They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty because their greed holds them back from collectively making better communities.

With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even jeered them, saying he doesn't want their money, and look at how the fools spend more with him than ever before!). They'll continue to show off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits from our businesses that we market to them.

SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois said that there was an innate division in their culture. A "Talented Tenth" he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are segments of their culture that has achieved some "form" of success. However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn't read that the "Talented Tenth" was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together, their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal Their so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name without making any real change in their community.

They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels, and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best speakers, not to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness? They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM). They do not understand that they are no better than each other because of what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the control of our pens in our offices and our rooms.

Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read, continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are "helping" their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don't worry about any of them reading this letter, remember, 'THEY DON'T READ!!!!


Tafakari:

1. Ni kweli ndivyo jinsi waafrika walivyo?
2. Na kama sivyo, je wako vipi?
3. Na sifa zilizotajwa ni za waafrika kweli?

Ndugu,
Naumizwa na mambo mawili hapa, kwanza kama yaliyosemwa ni sahihi dhidi ya waafrika maana ni aibu kubwa. Pili kama ni mtazamo tu wa aliyeyasema maana ni dharau kubwa. Nisaidie ndugu zangu waafrika wako upande gani?

The guy has given it to us direct. He might have said it in a language or tone that upsets us but it is the truth. I think the sooner we admit we have a problem the better.

Are you included in the "us" you mentioned? Are you all these things he said? Is Africa simply that homogenous? Are African's as well?

What America are you talking about? North, South, or Central America?

Blacks made/make better slaves because they were/ are meek.

Kama ni kweli unauliza swali hili ndugu yangu, inabidi ujikaze sana wasiliana na Nyani Ngabu anajua vizuri sana.

 

[Bongolander]

What America are you talking about? North, South, or Central America?

hiyohiyo ya Mnyamwezi ndi ilikuwa mwanzo, huko Americas kulifuata..Mnyamwezi alikuwa anatawaliwa na mwingireza lakini sasa amempiga bao Mwingereza, mwafika alikuwa anatawaliwa na mwingereza lakini sasa hivi mwafrika anomba mwingereza arudi kumtawala. MImim naomba wazi arudi.

When was the "get go"? 0 BC? 1 AD?

 

[Bongolander]

Nyani Ngabu huwa unanifurahisha sana. Naona ni mtu pekee ambaye umekubali wazi kuubali ukweli wetu. We have such beautiful countries lakini tumezibomoa kweli. Halafu ukisema watu wanabisha aaaaaaaaaaahh kawa mtumwa wa wazungu. Tusikatae we naglia tu viongozi wetu kila kukicha ni anasa tu, hakuna hata shule ya maana iliyojengwa Tanzania toka mkoloni aondoke. Uwanja ndio juzi amekuja mchina kujenga, uwanja wa ndege hakuna, vivuko ndio utacheka every thing is zero zero zero

"I was in Washington last year. At the World Bank the first question they asked me was `how did you fail?' I responded that we took over a country with 85 per cent of its adult population illiterate. The British ruled us for 43 years. When they left, there were 2 trained engineers and 12 doctors. This is the country we inherited. When I stepped down there was 91-per-cent literacy and nearly every child was in school. We trained thousands of engineers and doctors and teachers. In 1988 Tanzania's per-capita income was $280. Now, in 1998, it is $140. So I asked the World Bank people what went wrong. Because for the last ten years Tanzania has been signing on the dotted line and doing everything the IMF and the World Bank wanted. Enrolment in school has plummeted to 63 per cent and conditions in health and other social services have deteriorated. I asked them again: `what went wrong?' These people just sat there looking at me. Then they asked what could they do? I told them have some humility. Humility - they are so arrogant!" - Mwalimu JK Nyerere

O BC or AD

 

[Mzuvendi]

Which has been my point all along, our problems are not inherent and genetic as in "Waafrika ndivyo tulivyo", but rather societal and environmental.

Actually, enviromental settings can potentially cause genetic mutations that are inherent and permanent.

 

[Companero]

O BC or AD

How come Meroe, Axum, Timbuktu, Nuba and Kilwa were at part with the then European civilizations? And how come King Menelik defeated the Italians? More significantly, how come by 0 AD Egypt was still very far ahead?

.

Uko sawa Bongolander, nahisi kilichoandikwa hakijaeleweka au labda kimeeleweka ila mada imebadilika kutoka ukweli kama " ndivyo waafrika walivyo?" mpaka excuses za kuwa kwao hivyo. Though i still admit kuwa we need to dig our opinions deep down and avoid just talking from emotions.

 

[Ramthods]

I know we may go through on and off's, but taking it generally as an african race, so called black people, it is all true.

Unless we do something to change, that is the way black people are. I mean you and me, if you are black like me!

Companero,

The problem is right there. How could Nyerere ask a financial institution to take the role of a non profit organization? For God sake World Bank is not World Vision and I don't know why humility should pay a role here.

Secondly, 91% of literacy rate and impressive primary school enrollment was unsustainable endeavor to be taken by a very poor country that couldn't pay decent salaries to its teachers and maintain quality of education.

Halitafakariki hili...

Pamoja na kua inauma hili halina nafasi yake kwenye siasa za Tanzania
Kwa wale wanaotaka kuamini na kudekeza hayo yaliyoandikwa, atabakia kama alivyo!

Kwa wale watakao kubaliana na mimi kuwa huyo mwandishi mwenyewe alihitimisha kuwa 'hao waafrika' hawata soma hilo, linatubakisha kwenye kundi tofauti kabisa ...kwani tumesoma na tunaweza kuchambua pumba zake elekevu kwa walengwa wasiolengeka!

Hivyo kama umesoma, hautabakia kwenye kundi hilo analodai mwandishi.

Kusudi kubwa, la mwandishi huyo, kwa maoni yangu ni la kichochezi kutaka kutafuta mdahalo, ambao upo na unajadiliwa kila kukicha na wadau. Hivyo kumbakisha kwenye kusudi lisilo na mwelekeo maalum!


Hakuna jipya analolisema pamoja na madai lukuki aliyoambatanisha.

Mie huwa "Ninapojiuliza kuhusu Waafrika...." Nafurahi sana! Kwani Afrika ndio mama wa fikra zangu.
Ahsante
