Weekly Discussion, Let’s Get Talking: Western World’s Supremacy, The Blackman’s Inferiority…

blank

It is obvious and undisputed that the coming of the Whiteman to Africa has done more harm than good.

Apart from the fact that the early White men who landed on the shores of Africa were able to enlighten us to grow and hate our own selves, religion and way of doing things, they also succeeded in injecting a huge dose of “Inferiority” into our subliminal minds.

I do not want to jeopardise the direction of  this post by going into the various ways by which the Whiteman was able to “conscientize” our forefathers to throw away so many of our effective practices such as religion, governance, etc that worked perfectly well for them over years before the former’s coming to accord supremacy to the Whiteman’s  custom. Most of our practices were labelled evil, antique and ungodly.

A rapid growing disease which was injected by the Whiteman into our minds and being tendered by ourselves over the years is the concept of “Western World’s Supremacy, The Blackman’s Inferiority”.

Over the years, everything made in Africa, Nigeria or Ghana, made by African, Nigerian or Ghanaian is seen by the majority of us as inferior. If a product descends from a western country, it is giving a huge gravity over our own Africa made products.

The above has led us to importing almost everything from the Whiteman’s land. And I mean everything including toilet tissues and tooth picks. Are you aware that majority of the tooth picks (common tooth picks) used in Ghana are imported from Asia? (Geeez, we also have a lot of bamboos in Ghana).

I do not want to channel my wrath towards the importers since they are just towing along the lines of consumers. You and I are the ones with the “Inferiority” issue. How many of us would buy a Kumasi made leather shoes? All we want is Italian made. No wonder the Kumasi boys have recently started to stick “Made In Italy” stickers under the shoes they made.

It is very pathetic that we do not trust our own work and have no regard for our own inventions, creativity and ideas.

We copy “everything” of a western origin. We copy their way of dressing, talking, eating and even what they eat. Where is our identity, what happened to “us”? Let me say, in 10 years to come, there will be no Africa, Ghana or Nigeria since we will all be Americans or British. (Sad! Isn’t it? )

I have seen people sending money from Africa to UK for friends to buy them sardines, cornflakes, milk and others because they think those made in Africa are inferior to the western country ones.

Who even said Gucci or Armani is prestigious and of any better quality than our Kente or Tie & Dye?  Why do we attach the utmost supremacy to everything western and degrade everything African including our own food?  How can we come out of our inferior minds? Do you really think everything western is better than ours?

Slavery is far gone, yet we dwell in this sort of mental slavery!

    • @Theyremovemycomments,

      I usually do not comment but this article is interesting and I will add my 2 cents. Firstly, the above comments tells me how unintelligent some Ghanaians are on here. What is the gramma check out there? Cant you see he is stressing on the continent Africa, country ghana and nigeria.

      What the writer mean is Africa/Ghana/Nigeria.  Havn’t you heard the popular saying ” I do not believe in your God, your Christ or your Jesus”. Did you ever read literature in school? What happened to expressions like this?

      Surely it is right to say things like, “I do not believe in your family, yourself or your sister”. This is just to mean that the person has not even a little believe in your family.

      You should comment on what the article is about rather and stop making a fool out of yourself.  English revolves as Shakespeare said and expressions can be made in whatever a writer wants. This is not a grammatical error at all, it is a way the writer has chosen to express his sentiments.

      Now back to the issue,  After reading the article, I asked myself the same question. Why is everything African inferior ? It boils down to our mindset and lack of creativity too. We are copy cuts and the worse of it is, we copy blindly.

      Oh and look at what someone just said above, that is one of the African minds. Someone sat down to write this entire article and the only good thing the person spotted is the repetition the writer used which he does not know and as such thinks it is wrong. This is the real African mind, if he had found it in a book written by a western person, he would not dare even think about it being wrong. 

      What happened to our own creative abilities? Slavery has done us all this. The white man really made us realize we are inferior to them (slave masters). Everything done by our sleves is inferior too and this has lived with us from generation to generation

  4. Good on there Tracy. You are on the spot of things. I think the readers do not realize that the whole write up is a Satire (A kind of writing that holds up to ridicule or contempt the weaknesses and wrongdoing of individuals, groups, institution, or humanity in general).

    And in Satires like this, the writer always has what is termed as DICTION (writer’s choice of words, particularly for clarity, effectiveness, and precision. A writer’s diction can be formal or informal, abstract or concrete).

    There is nothing wrong with repetitions and being creative in your own writings as long as your audience can understand what you are trying to say or the feeling you are trying to send out to them.

     Anyway, I am not a Literature teacher but I know certain things in literature have no grammatical bases, that is what makes literature so interesting. People like Shakespeare and co were able to write any how and anyway because literature allows this. (writers diction and presentational style).

    The article is what we needed. I am loving most of your intelligent post and I read someone saying, Chris-Vincent should concentrate more on the human coaching and development and leave the gossips under one of his post. This is a good idea but I love the scandals too. You are in tune with time, you hit up the nail as it should be and this article is one of the nails.

    Look, when you go back to Ghana, whiles you are chasing people up and down to get some Koobi stew and plantain to eat, those there are actively praising and looking to eat Pizza.

    Compare the nutrients in plantain and Koobi stew to raw Pizza and tell me which one has the best? But for Africans, western food is far better than ours and because of that the prices of such food is really high in Ghana.

    I went to a shop and saw Cocobutter made from Ghana or so and they have stated  it there that the cocoa was from Ghana, why do you think they have down that, it is because they want us to know how good cocoa from Ghana is but those in Ghana do not care, they will go for all kind of foreign lotions. What  happpened to us is a good question.

    We have lost our identities and it is time we change our attitude and mindset. Even our men prefer western women to us, they used them in all music videos , marry them much and all that because some men think western people are even better or supreme than African women. God save us all!

  5. until that day, we realize fat black people need help and its not a sign of “good living” and that day we tuck into our golden tree chocolate not some fancy begian or swiss chocolate, we as the black race, have a long way to go. the white institutions, through the media especially have been propagating these seeds for centuries. the onus is on us to change it. why do we have more chelsea fc replicas in kumasi Ghana than in swindon UK, what happened to the kotoko and hearts of oak replicas? china are very aware of the effects of the western influx and curtailing it has been PRC gain. africa needs to stand up take drastic measures. banning tooth picks, dodgy chocolates and rice importation would not be a bad start. it wud save the national coffers overs $200 million pa. ecomomies of scale proves we cannot produce everything, but with the vast arable land and bamboo’s, what are we waiting for? almost forgot our CORRUPT, BLIND, POWER DRUNK officials
