[@2danadem]

It has been said so many times Africans will not value brothers and sisters of Africa but in front of their ancient colonizers they will show respect. Africans may have had independence from their white masters but their mentality is still enslaved. I have been watching many videos from many African brothers and sisters and I have noticed how much they emulate the westerners way of life. It makes me feel sad and I keep asking to myself why is it so, would someday we Africans have our own identity. And for me its education and particularly the history of each Afrikan country before the colonization era.

[@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy]

But what is there besides western way of life? Western life frees women and do not make them forced slaves to men. In the west, if a woman wants to be a man’s slave it’s voluntary on her part, and even then, she still has protection from cruel treatment by the law. What’s wrong with a modern society with modern conveniences, such as internet, TV, transportation and great shops? And the freedom to live as you choose, whether you want to rich, poor, a drunk, and so on? And free women in a free country, and societal politeness? What kind of life will a country have of it’s own that isn’t westernized? Nor dependent in anyway on western support? A life of slavery and warfare run by a brutal dictator? Imprisoned women? Legally violated children? The way I see it, a country is either backwards, barbaric and primitive, or westernized and freedom based. There’s nothing else in between. I think that Jim Jones proved to the world very well that there is nothing between the two. As he had his vision of a new country owned and ruled by him. He told his followers that America did them wrong for so long, and follow him to a new a better country that they will build together. And he did nothing but enslave and terrorize them in barbarism, bcuz there’s nothing in between. You’re either living free (Western) or in bondage (Dictatorship). There’s nothing in between.

[@rwandannoble4990]

Please speak for yourself or your family members. We, in Rwanda, don't respect foreigners over our people. Even marrying, we always go for our women first and foremost, forever, and our women are the best ptotected in Africa and beyond. No Black African pays visa in our country, but everybody else does pay. So, maybe you're talking about your own family members respecting White people over Black people. WE, RWANDANS, DON'T.
