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

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

Agreed. Not just Africans I've seen, black Americans deal with it too. But Im not trying to insult Nigerian brehs and I'm only repeating what another Nigerian dude told me. He told me, in Nigeria, that the schools instill a sense of inferiority at an early age. Other races in general are put on a pedestal and there is either directly or indirectly this attitude that Africans are inferior to the rest of the world that permeate even the education and just the way teachers and adults talk about Africans relative to the rest of the world. The white man's ice water is colder type of thinking. This was his explanation for why some folks might be out here c00ning.

I dont know if this dude was telling the truth or just misguided in what he was saying. Perhaps, some Nigerian brehs can either corroborate or call bullshyt.

Like I said, not picking on Nigerians with this because I think black Americans have some issues as it relates to self-esteem about ourselves and it's impact on success. Black people as a whole need to work on this imo.

as a whole we definitely need to work on it.

but don't feel too bad the brainwashing and psychological games are by design. Overcoming it is a part of becoming whole again. the good news is the younger generations coming up are a lot more self assured and ready to buck the system cause of the information age.

You support China and Russia tho

Yup. America’s done more harm.

Enough with the esoteric bs. You can only get concrete solutions when you list out concrete problems. Either shyt or get off the pot

Getting tired of seeing the “black people have [insert existential problem/issue here]” commentary. It’s self-soothing. People are afraid of being concrete because they know it’s going to taking real, tangible hard work and discipline to implement a solution, so they hide behind nebulous flaws that can’t be actioned

Replacing one master with another. Pathetic.

Master? So you acknowledge that America is the chief disaster of white supremacy today.

Thanks!

Anyway, focus on the thread’s topic of discussion, s-v-p.

The solution is scary for many black people…

Do they even want power? Like, real power?

Who told you that you were backwards?

Who told you that you have problems?

By whos standards?

The world's standards. The standards that we are at the mercy of generation after generation

Why does 70% of Sudans gold go to Russia?

They don't. They never have.

History books and people's grand parents will have us thinking they was marching in the streets, with Martin, with Mandela. They were not. It's always a handful of people that do the hard work, that risk their lives, that risk livelihoods, and everyone else benefits.

Folks talking about it, didn't march during Desert Storm 1, Desert Storm 2, BLM...Most of them didn't even vote. Maybe a handful sent Obama a donation, a lot more of them bought the bootleg t-shirt from the Chinese vendor...

The only time the masses get involved, is when it looks like the thing might work.

Then Late to the Party Larry gonna try and mack on broads saying he was down from day 1....

We have to first see each other as the same. Even if we’re from different parts of the diaspora. Put aside petty differences when an issue affects us as a collective. The problem is we do not have resources collectively. Black people in Africa should be running things with the resources they have over there, in the US black people should be on the level with the Jews or close to it, so we’d be able to have power and trade amongst each other.

Exactly. Jews may not see eye to eye but they understand how Jews suffering anywhere will affect all Jews worldwide.

There is no 'one size fits all' among the diaspora. What will work for one group will not be appropriate for another. With that said, reading is an absolute necessity to progress among every group. Sharing/disseminating ideas works MUCH better when written and fully explored. It also crosses language/cultural differences much easier and with less inherent bias on the reader.

As far as Black Americans go, we need to focus on rebuilding a stable familial structure. We've been playing 'catch-up' for CENTURIES here, but this society is evolving with a rather large influx of different ideas via immigration and various schools of thought as to what constitutes a family, so we just have to 'go with the flow' so as not to appear 'regressive' or 'bigoted'.

That needs to stop.

The basis of a society is family, not single-parenthood or jail/gangs. Stop trying to replace what worked with what sounds good.

Just my $0.02.

I'll see my way out.​

To add on to what i said earlier, look at the mental health thread. Look at the posters in it. Look how what folks post. Its starts with what you feed your mind. Theres plenty of positive shyt about us black people. If you focus on the negatives, you will be stuck in them. No society cant make you believe youre shyt unless you feel that way about yourself. Empower yourself and you can empower others.

facts.

Wait a second…. So OP claims the biggest problem for Africans is mental while supporting chinas actions in Africa that are crippling nations wholesale financially…. Woooooo boy talk about being a useful idiot and straight up retarded.
