“When that rand leaves your wallet ask yourself if it will find a place to fight for your struggle or will be used to fight against your struggle”
The minute you ACCEPT, ACKNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTAND that as black person nobody cares about your struggle, the injustices you suffer, your economic exclusion, your history being edited and rewritten by Hollywood, systematic and structural oppression…The west doesn’t care about Africa and it’s problem. Don’t expect them too. Oppression and racism has lasted 5 centuries on all walks of the earth. You know why? Cause nobody gives a shit about your problems in fact they are the source of your problems. BLACK MAN YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
Once you accept that, your soul is at peace and your attitude will change guaranteed and you will start acting accordingly. When they broadcast sympathy for Western countries when you never see them do the same for African countries? Change the channel, when they release movies depicting Egyptians as white don’t watch those movies, when companies refuse to follow transformation support those that do. When you see struggling hawkers and vendors support them. When they shove American music you don’t like down your throat? Change the station. When they give you hashtags to tweet when they witness tragedy ignore those. Stop fighting wars for people who would NEVER do it for you. Stop empathising with people who view you as sub human. The revolution will not be televised. It will not be broadcast or announced.
When that rand leaves your wallet ask yourself if it will find a place to fight for your struggle or will be used to fight against your struggle. You wouldn’t give more bullets to someone shooting you so why economically empower people that Use your money to oppress you
