Marcus Garvey was right. Read read read read. Philosophy of opinion of Marcus Garvey and the autobiography of Malcolm X got me started. And then destruction of black civilization by Dr. Chancellor Williams. The next https://t.co/hku4H8pnMh Europe under develop Africa by Dr. Walter Rodney. I was angry for knowledge after that.. and then the Wretched of the Earth.

Ethiopia was never colonized.

For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.

Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.

If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.

Can we please retire this excuse?

"Sustainable economic growth does not come from aid. It comes from private enterprise. So, we are making a clear shift: from aid to trade, from assistance to investment, and from dependency to partnership. And we are engaging African nations accordingly—not as aid recipients, but as capable commercial partners". -Nick Checker, Senior Bureau Official

أنا لا أهتم لاذواقكم و كافكا و همنغواي ليسو أدباء عالميين أما أحدهم فكان يعنف من قبل والده في الصغر فلم يتأقلم مع مجتمعه و أما الآخر فذو ميول إنتحارية و أنهى حياته ببندقيته لذلك يتعاطفون معهم، و أما قصصهم فحدث ولا حرج!!

We can’t decolonize our minds if we refuse to read. Some will argue for hours… but won’t open a single book about their own history.
