@adamsvoyage Imagine telling a Congolese man he’s a victim for believing foreign influence affects his country, these are people that watched Lumumba get killed and his body desolved in acid for standing against foreign powers
They also watched them install Mobutu
Things have happened in Africa that should be enough to make Africans believe their bad leadership might be engineered, so when people say things like “stop talking like a victim” I find it very dishonest.
On this continent, we’ve seen good leaders get assassinated and replaced with figureheads that did nothing but work in the interests of foreigners.
If Americans can believe the Jews run their governments, why can’t Africans believe the West controls our leaders?
It’s not like the belief came from thin air, it comes from trauma and pattern recognition.
