AN ALIEN AT HOME "STRANGER TO HIMSELF"

"Taking a look at the Westerners, Europeans, Asians etc as much as they entertain sports it comes secondary with education being primary. On the other side it is a different story to the African child to hims sports is primary with emphasis and pressure yet education is secondary. In America no matter how good you are in football if you do not get the grades required for a football scholarship you will only be a high school dream you wont go past that and you will not be that great football star. For there is no good sportsmanship without a fine tuned mined, and the best way to do that is through education. This style or tendency was put on us by the colonialist to disesteem the African in order to lock away his potential for at once we were the center of education infact we had the first educational institutions we were the leaders of civilization. Infact the way we were so intelligent and so keen on education we once built a tower stretching to the heavens! Education and civilization is our heritage, and not a western thing but they took it from us and made good use of it, they treasured it and then used it to acquire our skills then turned it against us to fill their greed and lust for power or superiority. Such emphasis on sports and other things that do not catapults nor elevates the standard of the African child to meet international academic levels is the imperialists tool to always remain superior above the African. Perhaps one day when the child awakens the tables will turn but until such a time we will remain inferior being minor than the minority yet labelled the majority. Inequality, apartheid and colonialism still exists and is worse than it was before we received this masked democracy or acclaimed liberation. Arise, awake O African child before the sun sets to see its true colors and where its allegiance lies..." AN ALIEN AT HOME "STRANGER TO HIMSELF" BUSISANI MAJOLA
