The African Glorification of ‘white’ Folks

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58940128.amp - 60 Years on, Frantz Fanon is still right.1 Africans are wretched. They are continually made so before the European, the West in general, and the Rest of the World by Africans in visible and/or powerful and/or enviable Positions. The common Thread with these three Positions is the Goodwill of ‘white’ Folks. This has been the Norm from the late 16th Century when Africans had become “boy, boy” Participants in the Slave trading of Africans by Europeans which they, Africans themselves, had started. 


So, I ask in the Contest of this Write-up, what Education or Expertise does UK House of Commons Member Matt Hancock have that no African surpasses that Hancock should be "given a role helping Africa's economy recover from" Covid-19 by the United Nations (UN) notwithstanding the voluntary Nature of the Post? Is it for Hancock's Visibility? What Visibility? The Praise from UN's Vera Songwe is plain hogwash. It is the African in the hero-worship of ‘white’ Folks. The Banality and Dishonesty of the hero-worship is emphasized in the same Report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58890485 in which we find the slavish Applause. 


It is quite evident that I am One you would easily and readily "hail"2 as African. Just look at me. I, too, see myself as African, but an African of recent Origin (by Race). I am proud and unashamed to be of (the) African Race, but do you not always wonder that those of the African Race who are visible in “International” Organizations and/or celebrated by ‘white’ Folks are those occupied with glorifying ‘white’ Folks no matter what, but denigrating the African as a Matter of Course? Well, such Africans have to behave the Way they do because 'White' Folks make Africans visible and/or powerful and/or enviable.



I am not saying that acknowledging Merit should be premised on racial Identity. Far from it. I am simply insisting that Merit should be identified, complimented, highlighted and be deserving irrespective of racial Origin or the Willingness of an African to be psychologically-servile© to the ‘white’ Race. Any Accolade must be justifiable. Those familiar with my writing will know that I too knock the African, but they will equally appreciate that I also comment on the Inadequacies, and Incapacities of ‘white’ Folks. If it is “good for the Goose,” it is certainly as well “good for the Gander.” 



Note that I claim 'African of recent Origin' to separate present Day Persons who assert sole Possession of Africanness, and/or separated as such from the Rest of Humanity. I say this all the time, and 'white' Truth-appreciating© Folks say it too that "we are all Africans." The Origin of the Human Species - there is no such thing as the "Human Race" - is founded in Africa, and the racial Differences we note among the Human Species are probably no more than 50,000 Years old. Any Human Race or any Person that denies Origin from Africa is prominently uneducated about Human Origins.
