If u could, u would have heard the standing ovation that I am giving this post<BR/>@Anonymous: u r definitely right. <BR/>@Ces: I don't think the author was trying to say that we as true africans have to return to the worship of tradition. Alot of this has to do with an expansion of consciousness.Ms. Catwalqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506293561878301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18985513.post-90711606957654499802007-06-26T03:52:00.000+01:002007-06-26T03:52:00.000+01:00the only thing id like to know is if the author of...the only thing id like to know is if the author of this article totaly rejects western religions and has tried to get in touch with his/her african heritage.<BR/> in other words are u walking the walk as opposed to....Femmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06007025395857443163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18985513.post-31295815698311887662007-06-14T23:28:00.000+01:002007-06-14T23:28:00.000+01:00You forget that MANY Africans began producing loca...You forget that MANY Africans began producing local guns after their contact with Europeans.<BR/><BR/>The problem was that the concept of racial solidarity that informed the Japanese actions in replicating the guns etc was absent in Africa - and with good reason. The continent has over 2000 languages and an estimated 25,000 dialects for a start compared to the one or two languages in Japan. People saw themselves as members of their ethnic group, not as Africans - even till today, if truth must be told.<BR/><BR/>So the racial consciousness to repel the whites was largely absent.<BR/><BR/>In this situation, the whites were simply one faction in the cocktail that could be manipulated by a given ethnic group or tribe to suit its ends, not an entity seen collectively as an enemy by Africans.<BR/><BR/>The westerners simply played off one group against the other. Supply guns to one side, who would raid the other side and bring slaves for sale to the whites etc etc.<BR/><BR/>This is totally different from the Japanese situation and the comparison is invalid in my view.<BR/><BR/>Also, this idea of yours that 'blacks don't do technology' is supremely false as well, not to mention stunningly racist.<BR/><BR/>It is socio/economic confluences that determine the emergence of an industrial civilization, not race.<BR/><BR/>Humans have been living on earth for 20,000 years at least, and the industrial revolution in Europe only began 270 years ago.<BR/><BR/>So what were they doing all that time if indeed, industrialism is in their genes as you seem to be suggesting in your blog?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18985513.post-63858470751495457312007-06-13T15:52:00.000+01:002007-06-13T15:52:00.000+01:00i enjoyed this, preach brother preach. no mind me,...i enjoyed this, preach brother preach. no mind me, wetin i sabi?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
