One of the Biggest Problems Holding Back Africa and its Diaspora Are Psychological

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Add Fanon too


Particularly true of Nigerians:


What do you think?

 

[K.O.N.Y]

Yes I agree

And for black Americans a cultural core anchored by lineage and ethnicity, is necessary

 

[Wiseborn]

Agreed. and Omi from We need to Talk said that African history is erased from their textbooks.

Its always been. Thats why you have to take care of your mental health. What you feed your mind matters

What can we do to fly?

from the beginning the issue has been the inability to work together

before folks keep it solid they are looking for the cross trying to one up their neighbors running plays with aliens

larger groups working in coordinated efforts is what gets results

It's crazy cause this should be common sense.... but it isn't

I'm not even going to get into the debate about the N word and the psychological problems with it

I’m only going to speak on black Americans, it’s going to take multiple generations to erase the slavery psych, and that’s without setbacks like Jim Crow, drug wars, and redlining

Now we go to euro American biased schools and work in euro american controlled industries trying to earn euro american backed currency to advance in life, progress isn’t going to be swift under those circumstances

One thing is not being so afraid of failure. And the delight in our failure that our community often have for us when we do.

Many of us are raised in a homes where a job is the goal. A title in someone's business.

For all the I'm hard.. pause energy we have we're a very scared people. We either are afraid to reach for the stars or lack the safety net in order to do so.

We need more support for those looking to lead our communities and countries in a good manner

Who told you that you were backwards?

Who told you that you have problems?

We need an organized renaissance, the parents need to read to pass down Heritage to kids, and we need Heritage centers like the Chinese have after school and like how cacs have YoungLife after school

That class clown energy we have in us probably does come from lack of confidence and low self esteem. Confidence comes from knowing and in some languages is synonymous with faith.

The racists and c00ns are lying when they saying knowing black American history holds you back. Black American history is full of gems and gave me a sense of duty and purpose

Most annoying shyt ever. I can't stand defeatists.

Yes I agree

Lead the way Jesus

"We, as a people have structural problems - which are are significant; But our biggest problems are psychological - and these problems have been addressed by Frederick Douglass, W.E.B Dubois, Marcus Garvey etc. We don't know, because we don't read & are incurious."
