The choice of not having a choice.


A preponderance of people have often heard utterances, such as “Life is all about choices”. How often, have we heard people utter words, such as “I had no choice” or “I don’t have a choice"? Very often! We’ve heard of young people, mostly Bantu, who have been incarcerated by the people who stole their ancestors’ wealth, for shoplifting items from the past oppressors’ shops. Most of them, when being asked why they did it; would often utter “I had no choice, but to steal owing to the financial situation at home…”. At other times, you’d find a man or a woman who’s enmeshed in a loveless relationship nor marriage, when being asked why are they still in such a relationship, they’d conclude that they had no choice, owing to their parents’ wishes nor financial state, which drove them into the arms of the rich and less compassionate men, who treat them with utter contempt.

The current generation, still has questions about how and why would Africans, despite their large population, still succumbed to the evil colonial system, let alone allow a Greek man to bereave them their true identity, which is Alkebulan, and labelled their continent “Africa"; most of the elders would utter “We had no choice”. The next generation, would ask this generation why do they settle for jobs in companies that are owned by foreign capitalists in their own continent even post apartheid era, where there are so many rich resources that one would use to augment their wealth, in this land? The older generation, which is the younger generation today, would possibly also say “We had no choice”. A preponderance of Africans are employees of companies that are owned by foreigners or colonialists; which means, no matter how many years they may work, they’ll never be able to augment their wealth. Back then, Africans used to be slaves of Europeans; which meant, working their whole lives for a white man without even attaining nor augmenting their own wealth. An objective man, would conclude that they had no choice. 

The “I have no choice" mentality has engulfed Africans to an extent whereby they claim to be free, some even celebrate days which are labelled “Independence Day”, yet they still spend their parents' hard-earned money on universities just to go and beg a white man for a job, post graduation. The hoi polloi devoutly believe in formal schools and varsities; they believe these are their vehicles to wealth, success and freedom. The most ironic part, is that we aren’t being taught by billionaires or trillionaires in formal schools; but we devoutly believe that after obtaining an uMalusi certificate and university accolades, then success and wealth are inevitable. We had no choice, our parents were convinced that formal school is the way to financial freedom; however, 10+ years later we find ourselves having no choice but to pay off our student loans, credit card for our retail life, insurance (long and short term, including All Risk), place of dwelling, having to go out with our partners and a myriad of other expenses that are subconsciously inextricable, in our lives. One would be abysmally naïve to believe that they would be able to maintain that with only a salary. But we have no choice, because our jobs are demanding most of our time and energy. 

How naïve, of us?  

In Bantu communities, whether rural or the township; self-contempt is the coin of the realm. It makes me cringe how Bantu people have normalized the mentality of hating one another, killing one another, bewitching one another, mostly, bringing each other down. 

When a Bantu person, progresses; the next Bantu person will seek ways nor methods of hindering their fellow's progress nor bringing it to a halt. They could’ve spent their money to buy maize meal or sugar for the children to eat, but they chose to use that money to purchase products that will be used to bewitch the Bantu man who is striving for progress, and success. 

In Bantu communities, there’s a myriad of gangs, gang members, let alone guns and all kinds of deadly weapons; these weapons are, mostly, used by Bantu people to eliminate their fellow Bantu people. However, when Caucasian racists voraciously murder Bantu people for no reason, the same gang members who are quick to shoot at the direction of their own people, decide to take placards and opt for a peaceful protest in attempt to stop people who aren’t using peace against them. 

Bantu communities, comprise more witches than any communities would ever have, yet the chief population is still impoverished, oppressed, mentally enslaved and at the utter bottom. We have so many witches who could’ve used their talent of witchcraft to steal gobs of cash from the reserve bank and bring it to the Bantu communities; instead, they choose to bewitch their fellow Bantu people who are also in the same social class, who are using every possible way to elevate. 

How pathetic?

The great Marcus Garvey was correct when he said “The great problem of the Negro for the past 500 years, has been disunity”. Irrefutable, is an understatement! Self-contempt is more like a paramount piece of inheritance, in the Bantu communities. You find Bantu women treat Bantu men with utter contempt and disrespect; you’d find Bantu people bewitching one another; from the streets, to schools, to colleges, to varsities, to jobs, to businesses, to churches, Bantu people are forever bewitching their fellows, who exude progress. Why can’t we compete in a fair way in the fields of businesses that are mostly dominated by Bantu communities? Witchcraft is rife in Bantu communities, it’s so sad. The success of a fellow Bantu man, is considered blasphemy in Bantu communities. Bantu people, hate to see other Bantu people succeed. They have no other choice but to make sure that their competition (their fellow Bantu people), disappear. Bantu people, would do anything to eliminate their fellow Bantu people, yet they would smile at a person who oppresses them, at the mall; or even make peaceful protests to plead with the person who shoots them, humiliates their people using the power of media and the psychological power of making Bantu people to be ready to attack, lambast, humiliate, or even abhor their fellow Bantu people owing to the media’s influence, to stop murdering them; no disrespect, but when have you seen a murderer listening to a peaceful protester. In apartheid South Africa, the natives had to stop being peaceful in order for the evil whites to feel their pain; today, the natives take placards and do peaceful protests, and a Twitter octothorpe. 

Bantu people have no choice but to succumb to the mental chains of the evil, murderous oppressors, who masquerade themselves as civilized, peaceful people who utterly abhor violence, thievery and murder; but would murder nor exploit you at any given opportunity, with a murder weapon and a smile.

The psychology behind choices, is utterly baffling nor colossally amusing.
We all have a choice; however, we all go for the choice of not having a choice…

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 and

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.  Alcest

Dark.

“Dark” the total absorption of light nor utter absence of light; the most feared state. There are nyctophiles, also. It is quite kenspeckle that the hoi polloi had been programmed to associate dark or the darkness with only nefarious, uncongenial, evil things; the hilarious part is that this idea or thought was popularized by those who are subjectively attracted to the light or the white color. For centuries, we’ve seen and still see how the dark people and all other people were convinced that black or dark is the antonym of pulchritude. Credulous Africans, who lack self-knowledge, believed it. Hence, for decades, we’ve seen (and still do) dark people altering their pigment to be lighter, in lieu of dark. Most, claim it’s a decision they took, not out of self-contempt. But, change, inextricably makes the past existence of a substance nor image to often be treated with contempt, if not utter.  If you take a good look at this “black" or “white" matter, you’d ascerta
