Africans need social development to make the high rates of crime to dwindle, not the harsh punishments from the law.


It is no secret that the crime rates in African communities, everywhere in the world are sky high despite how harsh the government makes its laws or the punishments that the perpetrators get for their crimes.

Why is it that all the states money and resources that are are being invested in the police force seem to be futile in reducing crime in black communities?

And we also need to scrutinize why there are lower crime rates in caucasian communities. At first, Africans were in charge of Africa and that means they owned all the wealth and resources until colonialists set their dirty feet in the African soil and also polluted African waters with the oils that came from their ships.

Everything changed, Africans went from kings to slaves. Fast forward, today many African countries claim independence but they're still governed by the colonialists. It is no secret that since the dubious freedom, we often vaunt came, nothing seems to have changed. Instead, African communities suffer more while Caucasian communities attain all the luxuries you can think of.

Why is it that the government, often makes it seem like black communities aren't worthy of being acknowledged. Why does the government invest most of the states money (or rather, the foreign investors' money) on the police force instead of ameliorating social development? Is our government dumb or they're deliberately turning a blind eye on the current state of townships, villages and black communities generally because it seems like poverty becomes severe as time goes on, in this system of democracy?

Social development is still a subject that a preponderance of individuals are unfamiliar with, in black communities. The most perplexing part is that more people have skills but opportunities are not executed, which is another reason why progress is slow in black communities. Ignorance is still the coin of the realm.

The worst part is that early childhood development is often neglected, and it seems like the general population is still oblivious to the calamity that could result. Crimes, toxic lifestyle and lack of financial knowledge are all results of a lack of social development. There won't be a need for all the arrests and constant raids that regularly occur in black dominated areas if the government invests the most of its resources in ameliorating social development in black communities.

Black communities should be educated about the significance of psychological, psychosocial and psychosexual development, financial literacy and, mostly offer more skills and open more opportunities for the youth. The lack of social development seems like a deliberate attempt of keeping black communities in poverty and stagnancy.

Drugs are effortlessly being made ubiquitous in the streets but opportunities are inconspicuous. Have you ever imagined a community whereby every individual is skilled or employed, if they choose to be part of the bourgeoisie and there are equal opportunities for every entity. Crime would be as inconspicuous as the truth.

The subject of social development is not as thoroughly addressed as it should be. We may blame the people, but the fact is that knowledge is not spread out as it should, in black communities and the subconscious minds of black people are programmed to make ignorance a norm, hence the famous caucasians' aphorism "If you want to hide something from an African, put it inside a book". It's not a coincidence.

It was carefully planned. The system of democracy was carefully planned. It's, actually the Caucasians' way of saying "Hey, you Africans this continent and all that it comprises belongs to us. We have stopped oppressing you physically, now you have to work hard to earn a portion of the wealth of Africa. And then they call it equality in the public eye".

The subconscious minds of Africans were programmed to perceive the idea of Africans taking loans to get formal education and go beg for jobs in their own continent while the European descendants take and control everything in that belongs to Africa, as a normal way to live. It's the same as when a foreigner comes to your house, vehemently take your title deed and become the new owners of your house, then tell you to forgive them but you won't get your house back and even worse, you'll become their gardener nor domestic worker.

That's what's happening in Africa. Social development is the best weapon that should be used to fight crime, not the law.

The objects of fear

The great Bantu Biko , once said that fear is an important determinant in South African politics. In fact, that’s what all governments use to contain the civilians. Fear, is not the power that one attains, but the power that he is given by the ones who fear him.  Allow me, to quote the legendary Biko: “It is a fear so basic in the considered actions of black people as to make it impossible for them to behave like people---let alone free people.” “One must not underestimate the deeply imbedded fear of the black man so prevalent in white society. Whites know only too well what exactly they have been doing to blacks and logically find reason for the black man to be angry. Their state of insecurity however does not outweigh their greed for power and wealth, hence they brace themselves to react against this rage rather than to dispel it with open-mindedness and fair play.” “It sometimes looks obvious here that the great plan is to keep the black people thoroughly intimidated...

Resurrection

Christians would think of Jesus, first, when this word is being mentioned. According to Merriam Webster dictionary, it is the rising again of all the human dead before the final judgment; or the state of one risen from the dead. It is, simply, about revival nor the process of renewal. In Christianity, Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected on the third day. In the African culture, resurrection comprises a nexus with ancestors nor the ones who are considered deceased or late, on earth, like Christ. We may find resurrection being elucidated in a variety of ways from disparate perspectives and, mostly from religious perspectives. In the ancient Greek religion, there are many instances where the concept of resurrection gains enormous relevance. Memnon, who was killed by Achilles, was resurrected.  Achilles, after being killed, was resurrected by his mother, Thetis. Asclepius, was resurrected and altered into a more colossal deity, subsequent to being killed by Zeus....

Not free as a bird.

Perception of reality is, often deemed realer than reality itself. "I want to be as free as a bird." a cliché that feels new, everytime it's being uttered or when our auditory tools cross paths with this ancient, yet immortal utterance. "The other side of the grass looks greener" another famous aphorism, but I prefer Marc and Angel's quote "If the grass looks greener on the other side, it might be life reminding you to water the grass you're standing on." Who came up with this idea that birds are free? Or, maybe an idealist looked at how birds look stress-free and he thought to himself that they're even able to effortlessly flee from their problems, without realizing that the bird has their own adversities. Imagine being a bird and you haven't been finding any worms to feed your offspring, and if you do you have to battle other birds you cross paths with on your way back to the nest, and you still have to stress about eagles who ...
