Being black, to most people, can be considered as a curse. Why? Being black is mostly associated with poverty, mental enslavement, being weaker or even old-fashioned and barbaric. Black nations are not as advanced as Eastern and Western regions. The question is why? Let’s look at some reasons to follow.
Division
Black people are the most divided people. Before we were nations we were tribes. These tribes had their own way of doing, their own cultural practices and their own codes of conduct. When these tribes merged and became one to form a nation-like or simply said, States, they didn’t come to some sort of agree or to at least meet halfway with others so as to live peacefully. Then whites came and when they started eying power they used tribal divisions to their advantage to make matters worse. You know what they say
“Divide they fall,….”
This further divided us even more and and the other tribe started to think negative of the other tribe. This war never ended, we’re fighting our forefathers’ war and those who are wrong and in power are not admitting to their wrong doing which further cause more tension. We’re too divided.
Tribal issues were the major cause of division we’re having now. We forgot to say let’s be Zimbabweans not Shona, Ndebele, Tongas etc, in Zimbabwe nor should we be strongly into political parties to an extent that who ever isn’t the supporter of the political party you’re supporting is an enemy.
We were taught hatred amongst each other and we nurtured it. We forgot to see that we’re murdering our own nation.
When people are divided, they’re easily ruled around, they’re easily defeated. The mind of a person who lives where there’s hatred is easily controlled by fear, selfishness, hatred too and no love. Even when decisions are made, there’s no agreement that people can get to. This is our reason number 1. Number 2 is coming.
