CHANGED BY THE FIRE(1)

Colonial MindsetThe “the proffesional Afrikan has been ” schooled” made in the image of the colonialism. Oppression has created Afrikans to be Caucasian in mind with Afrikans skins… Black skins with white masks.. ‘Fanon’ With a chained mind now he sits in power to manage the very institutions (religion economics education etc) with state instruments which maintains the very prison of his soul. They tell him he is free, but not to be himself albut follow the dictates of a foreign system. You can not expect round poles to fit in square holesThis is the foundation of Afrikan mysery, which destroys the very core of African societies with the lingering effects of colonialism. African thinkers like Frantz Fanon, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Steve Biko, Chinua Achebe, Sankara and Chinweizu echo these sentiments.The image of a “chained mind” is particularly striking, highlighting the ways in which colonialism and its legacy have constrained African thought, innovation, culture, and identity.With pride the Afrikan now wears these chains and ties to demonstrate their full initiation in the “acceptable courtroom” of foreign dictates.
