Race Conscious Women: Winnie Madikizela Mandela
By Sicebise Msengana
It's worthy to start with Mama Winnie Madikizela Mandela. No woman endured suffering and humiliation at the hands of the white man in modern history like Mama Mandela. She was born in Bizana, in the Transkei on 26 September 1936. Her first experience of the cruelties and injustices of racism/apartheid was when she was only 9 years.

CULTURAL APPROPRIATE OR GENUINE INTEREST
By Sicebise Msengana
In my activism, I've came across questions like "Why do you hate white people"? or "You're a hater!" If calling out white folks for their part in oppressing and exploiting my people makes me a hateful racist, so be it.

RACISM/ WHITE SUPREMACY EXPLAINED
By Sicebise Msengana
It is not an attitude or some emotion, but a way of life for the masses of white folks. Yet, some naive folks, especially African Americans ( Hebrew Israelites and Indigenous Black American Indian cults) believe that a white supremacist named Adolf Hitler was a friend of Africans globally.

“Groundings with My Daughters”. Mentacide: and Other Essays
By Sicebise Msengana
Baruti, Mwalimu K. Bomani. “Groundings with My Daughters”. Mentacide: and Other Essays. Atlanta, GA: Akoben House. 2005
Young sisters, you must think deeply about the way of our ancestors. Those of ancient Nubia, Kemet, and the rest of our motherland surpassed all others in their wisdom and humanity. They are the ones who warned us about committing treason against the culture and tradition that make us Afrikan, lest we destroy ourselves. Remember, there is no separation of the past and present, no divide between ourstorical interpretation and contemporary reality.

Famous Hollywood Racist Stereotypes About African Men
By Sicebise Msengana
1. Scammers. In order for African men to make it in life, they have to date or marry western women for green cards and money. We also have card scams up our sleeves.
Racist Hollywood likes to portray us African men as warlords and savagely GENOCIDAL brutes carrying machine guns and machetes.
African men don't smile or cry. We are always angry. We rape and kill for no apparent reason.
