Modern African Traditional Clothing

The feelings of so-called civilisation are mixed. What may appear as 'civilisation' might be instincts.

"My  own  impression,  from  having  divided  my  life  between United  States  cities  and  New  Guinea  villages,  is  that  the  so-called  blessings of  civilization  are  mixed.  For  example,  compared  with  hunter-gatherers, citizens  of  modern  industrialized  states  enjoy  better  medical  care,  lower risk  of  death  by  homicide,  and  a  longer  life  span,  but  receive  much  less social  support  from  friendships  and  extended  families.  My  motive  for investigating  these  geographic  differences  in  human  societies

Religion Has Been a Stumbling Block of Progress

" when you do science, you have to put aside religion. You must exclude the divine from your theories about the world. Once you bring in the supernatural, you can explain anything, but none of your explanations can ever be confirmed, since you're using ideas that go beyond human sense"--Steven Weinberg

From its beginning religion has been a stumbling block against scientific developments. The claims made by religious fanatics are fallacious in many ways. Just because religious scientists did or still do scientific work has nothing to do with science. In fact, greatest scientists were and always irreligious and didn't bring science into religion (i.e. Albert Einstein and Charles Darwin).

No One Has been Held Responsible For Apartheid

The white man likes to dodges responsibility for his crimes against humanity like a psychopath -- absence of guilt or remorse, "I wasn't there" or "I didn't support apartheid." Yeah right. We all know that some whites were not born or were little at that time. But the vast majority of white people supported or were complicit with the system that offered them real benefits and privileges.

 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court  described apartheid as "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime." The heinous ideology that mimicked Nazism. Both ideologies – Apartheid and Nazism had common roots Christian religio-nationalism, which led to the creation of segregation of races. Along these lines and that of scientific racism, a racist white power structure came in being. Apartheid would’ve a great experiment if races were segregated but the

Let's Not Cry A River For Africans

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." --Mao

I will continue to say that there are no tears for people who fail to protect themselves. Therefore we should not cry for the African whose lands are in European hands because they're of hurting white people's feelings. Similarly, we should not wail and weep for our people in America who continue to march, sing and beg white people for basic human rights,  while being gunned down by predatory vicious cops.

White people: Join us or Leave us Alone

By Sicebise Msengana

White people say I’m a “hate teacher...racist.” Another white person said I should remove the “human rights activist” description on my online profile because I “hate” white people.  To a certain point, I’m a hate teacher. I hate racism and racists.  I don’t  love a heinous ideology of systematic oppression. An ideology where white people are rewarded  by white supremacy in it’s many forms for simply being white. I always say that white people should prove that they are against racism by their actions, not words. The same measure they put in their own freedoms should be the same measure they  put in ours.

Secularism: Scepticism Over The Supernatural Fantasies

Predictions for the future:
In the years to come there will be a big evolution of religion. In the next 50-100 years, it won't be the religion we know like today. Just as there is a revolution in world religions. Take a look at Christianity, it is not what it used to be. Some of the teachings taught today would make the epistles and martyrs turn in their graves. For example, prosperity gospel that is used to cheat people of their hard earned money by promises of "divine blessings," faith healing and many other outlandish claims.
