**A general discussion about the place of white African citizens on the continent following confected social media outrage—egged on by certain media outlets— over a white Zimbabwean winning a beauty pageant**
Interesting article. Many years ago, black American conservative, Shelby Steele, predicted that these unwarranted accusations of "racism" would eventually backfire and that even some previously liberal white Americans will revolt against these unfair accusations.
My own opinion is, once the "woke racialism" stuff moved into the primary and secondary schools to target children with the "you-are-racist-for-merely-being-white" narrative, I knew the revolt will come hard and strong.
People will tolerate anything until it begins to target their children. It is the same all over the world. Parents in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America will do all they can to protect their kids
Thank you.... I am puzzled you ask why we should bother about Ancient Egypt
Kemet, what the Kemetiou (Ancient Egyptians) called their Kingdom, is recognized as probably the earliest known civilization and center of learning globally.
Records say that ALL the Greek mathematicians, scientists and philosophers we hear of schooled in Kemetiou temple universities, the first being Thales followed by his friend Pythagoras. Only Pythagoras did 22 years but all his other compatriots schooled for an average 15 years or about 40 % of the 40-year syllabus. Returning to Greece, they set up the Greek culture which is the basis of European civilization.
For this reason, Cheick Anta Diop faced much opposition in his 20-year quest to prove that Kemet was a black African state as all sorts of theories, including aliens, were postulated to make Kemet anything except African.
We should not let go of our heritage just like that because some people will be embarrassed… that is their problem, not ours.
hi Chima, great article. Just 1 comment. I notice that you chose to omit or perhaps overlooked the fact that Mugabes seizure of farms happened right after a failed referendum that was aimed at making him President for life. You did however choose to include his (Mugabe's) chosen pretext for the seizures. thank you.
This is funny considering the Western regimes now allow men to compete as women. Now that is truly shameful.
This was a great piece. Very informative. The gas company story was hilarious. You can’t make this stuff up.
Love this article!
Here's a brave article on virtue signalling against racism - https://donaldjeffries.substack.com/p/african-american-fatigue-syndrome

It is a pity that they do so little to protect themselves, as if protecting their children is vicariousness from a position of adult relinquishment.

It is part of who we are.
Very good. I am not following what is going on in Africa, this article is illuminating.
