Snake Hair and Dreadlocks: How History Whitewashed a Goddess

 By Sicebise Msengana 

​Medusa, a real woman, was an Afrikan serpent-goddess said to have worn a pouch around her waist containing live snakes that represented wisdom and renewal. She purportedly carried the original Gorgon mask to frighten off the unskilled. It was painted red to symbolize the power of menstrual blood, featuring “gruesome glaring eyes, bared fanged teeth and, like the Hindu Goddess Kali, a protruding tongue” (Goddess Inspired). Her name derived from the Egyptian Maat (Truth), “which also gives us the words medicine, mathematics, and Sanskrit medha (female wisdom).” According to Blacked Out Through Whitewash, “The Gorgons were a trinity whose names were Medusa, Stheino, and Euryale—or Wisdom, Strength, and Universality.”

Ujamaa: African Socialism

By Sicebise Msengana

Socialism, like democracy, is an attitude of mind. In a socialist society it is the socialist attitude of mind, and not the rigid adherence to a standard political pattern, which is needed to ensure that the people care for each other's welfare.

The purpose of this paper is to examine that attitude. It is not intended to define the institutions which may be required to embody it in a modern society.

Be African and Proud

By Sicebise Msengana

I always see the self-hating attitudes towards Africa as coping mechanisms against the 500 year-old racist anti-African propaganda. People whose ancestors suffered slavery and social degradation developed certain survival traits to cope with their surroundings. The invention of races was one of the darkest moments in human history , W. E. B. Du Bois makes the following observation: “There came a new doctrine of universal labor: mankind were of two sorts—the superior and the inferior; the inferior toiled for the superior; and the superior were the real men, the inferior half men or less.”

EUROPEAN HISTORY: COLONISATION OF AFRICA AND EXTERMINATION OF AFRICANS UNDER GERMANY/PRUSSIA

Adolf Hitler was inspired by his Prussian forebears when he continued the GENOCIDE of AFRICANS in Namibia until 1945.

Most of us barely recognize this Prussian King, Wilhelm I, who lived between 1795-1888. A German royalty who pushed for the COLONISATION of Africa through his prime minister, Otto Von Bismarck. Between 1884-5 all European powers that had interests in Africa were called in Berlin, for the formal "Scramble for Africa."

Germany got Namibia and introduced a brutal efficient eugenics programme at great human cost. Namib Africans were enslaved, tortured, colonised, and starved to death by their thousands by RUTHLESS German colonizers.

CULTURAL APPROPRIATE OR GENUINE INTEREST

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.

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

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. 

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.

White Scams Part I: Racist White Women Be Like

By Sicebise Msengana                                                            

I've always believed in a ''race-less society,'' even my earlier posts on this matter reveal this fact. But my gut has always bothered me lately that I decided to check the claims made by various African scholars in Africa and America. And I was a bit shocked by what I saw and read.

As I read more and more on these topics, it dawned on me that the system works in different to deceive, control and co-opt its constituencies.

Our ancestors in ancient Egypt and Nubia, had been the creators and mothers of African civilisations and it was vital for them to know about this knowledge.
