So they very skillfully make you and me hate our African Identity, our African characteristics. The purpose of such action was to paint a picture of Africa as a savage land and to force Africans to disassociate themselves front their homeland. And all of these names by which we define ourselves have been forced upon us by European enslavers who sought to rob us of any collective identify, so that they could more easily oppress us. This is micro-nationalism, seeing the part as more important than the whole of Africa. All peoples are identified by the land from which they come.
Land is the basis of economic freedom for all people.
From land comes food, raw materials for making clothes, building houses, schools, factories, and all supplies that are needed to maintain a society. Without land there can be no economic freedom. Without economic freedom there can be no independent development. We Are African Period. Everywhere in the world Africans have the same social and economic problems.
