THE EFFECTS OF COLONIZATION IN AFRICA 🌍
Colonialism has had major effects on different countries throughout the years. Europeans were a major cause of these horrid events. Colonization will cause a country to lose the culture they have developed and will strip the natives of their souls. As you read through this article, you will discover the true horror of what colonialism is and how it strips the souls of the people in it.
First i will love to highlight key things colonization does to people.
- Stripping the souls of the natives
- Killing the ways and believes of Africans
- Mental slavery & Supremacy Oppression
- Cultural & Traditional downgrades.
STRIPPING THE SOULS OF THE NATIVES
It is known that invading a country will likely ruin the culture that joins the people together. As time has gone by, this has become more and more prominent. A race of people decide they are superior to other cultures. So, they colonise in countries and call them their own. Little do they know, they are stripping the native peoples of their individual and cultural souls.
Defining Colonialism. Throughout history, colonialism has been defined in one major way: (1) “In general, scholars agree that colonialism involves the organized domination by one nation of an external or different geographical unit, nation, culture, race, or people.
KILLING THE WAYS & BELIEVES OF AFRICAN'S
At this point you should no that we had our own ways of doings things, we had our way of leadership.
We had our Laws that governed our people, we had separation of power, we had army. All this things we had them. But obviously the colonist wanted to follow their own way of doing things so as to be able to steal wealth from us.
MENTAL SLAVERY & SUPREMACY OPPRESSION
After 400 years of slavery, our people steal suffer from what (Martin Luther King Jr) called mental slavery they see the whites as demy gods an they believed that what ever the whites does is simply the best and the black man has noting to offer, but let me shock you.
Do you know that so many whites that invented things we use today had blacks servings them during the slavery era, when a black man brings and idea to help him in the task his master gives him, the master sees this wonderful invention and decides to show it to the world the world glorifies him and forget the slave who really invented the marching, if you doubt me make your findings.
They do all this to Oppress the blacks so that they can be in the top, i which you get my massage correctly.
CULTURAL & TRADITIONAL DOWNGRADES
The truth is we need to understand that we need to believe in what is ours and tell our stories as it should be not allowing the western world to tell it they way they do. They use to say if you don't value your self no one will value you, Africa need to understand that we don't need any authentication from anyone to tell whether we are good at what we do, all we need is our selves and our selves alone.
The truth is the whites have never had anything good for us in their heart at least not all of them but majority don't want our progress.
What i want you to know is that our Culture & Traditions came from God, and as a people of Africa we need to understand that no other continent can help us except our self alone. God Bless Africa. 🌍 💪🏾 #AfricaNotPoor 🌈
