The LIE of European liberation of the African.

By Tiro Makhudu Over many years and thanks to a recent conversation with Charmaine to remind me, I have watched with anxiety, wringing my hands as individuals of the Caucasian persuasion have led in areas of the liberation narrative of the African or sought to endorse or validate it as if without it, surely it lacks credibility.

I am reminded of how after years of colonial oppression, many European nations continue to run African states from afar and take no credit for the messes they leave in their wake. They in fact misconstrue this as ineptitude on the part of the African.

I believe but stand to be corrected (spelling included 😅), that it is called a paterest system. A system where the European is “father” and the African, the child who if left to his own devices would surely stick a metal fork in the circuitry.

It is thus, by this theory, the white man’s burden to keep the African from self-harm and the otherwise inevitable annihilation or the total extinction of the African in the absence of adult supervision by the “mighty, innately superior Arian race” exists and thrives. A theory by which the Caucasian is never liable vicariously or otherwise when inevitably it goes array as the central premise is not equality or the advancement of the African agenda but the preservation of the Caucasian who’s supposed intelligence did not afford him the necessary common sense to settle in areas that can sustain him.

Today outside (and inside) of the traditional political arena, the theory, and its sinister motives are carried under the guise of organised concerned citizens called civil society, liberal white-led and/or controlled political parties and that ever ominous axe on a pendulum swinging over the African neck we call investor confidence.

By this and other mechanisms, equality as an ideal and agenda item is suffocated by rosy rhetoric that claims a constitutional equality should take precedence over constitutionally sanctioned measures of restorative justice (i.e. we’re suddenly equal now), thereby serving only to maintain if not extend the depth and breadth of the status quo, muffling authentic voices of the disenfranchised as victim mentally if not racist and blaming the government for inequality while making a concerted effort to tie its hands behind its back and blindfold the population to the real agenda on the table…that they do not and will not ever see any African as equal.

As the victim of violent oppression then, I believe that the doctor should hear from the patient what his symptoms and pain are instead of a third party who collects a wage for each day the patient is bedridden only to later blame the said patient for their inability to earn a wage.

The African brains trust is sufficient in my opinion to lead the narrative and bring about not only equality but prosperity. This trust, however, must be willing to sacrifice the relative pseudo comfort under which we live while those who oppressed us live in opulence because of the soils they took from us. In simple terms, we must be willing to deal with the anger real self-detonation will solicit from the Constabulary known to us as investors, civil society and liberal Democrats.

Naturally, the economy will suffer but will force us to support our own, taking from them as they take from us because when they stop investment, we stop buying from them as a natural consequence. Naturally, we may experience food shortages if we take back our land but necessity is quite the teacher and no better incentive can be given to prepare for the long-play.

We must be willing to suffer for posterity as many suffered torture, inhumane treatment, and death at the hands of those who today want to dictate our actions or the measure of our pain. All that pain was just so you can make the choice to perish on the determination of your own mind or barely breathe under the yolk of oppression. ..to die on your feet or live on your knees, ignoring the cries of posterity and giving the proverbial middle finger to the anguish of those who died for the freedom you squander today.

Awake Africa. Rise again. Keep your brother…advance your sister to the throne. Reclaim your mind, your soils and the sun that kissed your face and once named you king!
