RE: [wanabidii] Africans are inherently stupid

Let us be honest to ourselves and admit the truth because only truth that will salvage us from brink to collapse.  Not only Africans are inherently stupid but ni MATAHIRA OR EDUCATED FOOLS. (Please not that being educated means that you have been into a class).  The ICC issue as put forward by the African Head of States is on of few indicators that confirm what have been said.  The fact that we have embraced poverty as our survival kit and support the goals and objectives of our "development partners" which is POVERTY CREATION which makes Africa THE LARGEST DONOR in the world further confirm the subject statement.

It is painful to accept the truth but since it is only what is needed to generate the necessary energy to change our mind set and attitudes, TUJITAMBUE, TUJIAMINI, TUTHUBUTU NA KUWA NA UJASIRI WA KUTENDA.

The above statement truly comes from my heart and I can stand and support every word I have said.  Let us have a debate if any of us is interested.

With warm regards

I found it offending when it was suggested that Africans are inherently stupid. Being an African for that matter, it was only natural that I would react that way. That was in the past as recent events are proving that we may be just that-inherently stupid! And this is why. We were in a meeting with my superior when I mentioned to him the bold infrastructure developments the government was undertaking. 

He seemed lost in thoughts, probably appreciating what I had just said. The vitriol he emitted from his foul mouth, shortly thereafter confirmed my worst fears, never mind he has two degrees from some prestigious university abroad. "The Board of Directors (composed of westerners) is concerned that the new developments will work against us", my foul mouthed boss began, "if our donors come and see our roads carpeted, a functioning rail system, an empowered populace they will pull out. This is not entirely good", he concluded.

 I wanted to challenge him when one of my colleagues showed solidarity with his sentiments. When I read claims by James Watson, a renowned scientist and a Nobel Prize winner, I was deeply wounded especially when he insinuated Africans were not at par with their white counterparts . He was quoted as saying: "All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really". The furore that followed the geneticist remarks was razor sharp. 

This man continued: "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true". While I don't concur with how he puts forth his poisonous arguments, I feel he has a point. I don't peg my arguments on the feelings of James Watson-this controversial man of science was once quoted by a British newspaper as saying that tests could be conducted to unborn children to determine if they would turn out be homosexuals. 

He was also to make some assertion that sex drive had a strong link to skin color and that's why black people have libidos that high-well- that can be true. What is factual though is that the black man thinking is warped. It's probably only in Africa where a coterie of self-seekers will siphon money from the public coffers and purchase chalk instead of chlorine and make the populace believe they are drinking clean treated water and still hold public positions. Where intellectuals who are schooled in the best schools (read my boss) find development a threat to their jobs. 

Africa is probably the only continent in the world where people are comfortable in horrid situation in slums and subject their children to extreme conditions so that they can be fed and their children taken to schools.

 Countries that are endowed with natural resources are in perpetual conflict that is ostensibly aided by foreign powers. We may be the masters of blaming the west for our woes but it's up to us to prove characters like James Watson wrong and build a better future for our children. We should not bequeath our children the baton of begging but of creating wealth and making our beautiful continent a better place.
