WHITE MAN IN AFRICAN
TWENTIETH CENTURY
The colonial times of Africa were bad
for all black African people in those times and for some white people who were
against how black treatment was, the evil of money and greed go its hand to
many whites people who wanted to be rich and to be recognized by that time. It
was an era of their own but little did they know or sense the future how it
will look like and how it will shape.
It was an era of free or cheap gold,
silver, iron or whatever minerals, animals for meat or tasks from specific
animals like elephants and rhino, slavery mainly black people where taken to
work for many white people for free. Africa was the paradise for many business
people to come to and collect to and go do business abroad, for space some
white people went to Africa and stayed there, it was a complete paradise for
many white people by that time as it was. Many African head man, Chief, kings
or queens were tricked into selling their land, due to how the many African
perceived to what they were given and highly valued the small simple things
they were given they gave up land and some valuable minerals to the white
people.
It was a tough life with no rights or
say, a person has to do whatever he or she is told without refusal whether a
person like it or not, whether sick or not, its was hush and un bearable, a
life a person could live with out proper food or water or taking a shower, it
is unbelievable how the greed of money and for riches deceived many white
people into thinking that black people where not people at all, many white
people who were in business and those
who had inspirations to become business people they flown to Africa for a better economic boost
mostly by ships.
A white person by that time was a
valuable and feared person because of the capabilities they had shown to poor
black people. As years went by black
people began to learn and speak the white people languages, this begun
so because most black people were working on th white people’s premises or
farms so there had to be some communication for a slave to understand
instructions given to him. Good white Samaritans taught many black people a
number of subjects, this happened in churches, schools and other places like at
their homes. Some White Missionaries and church leaders also travelled to many
various African places to spread the word
of god and at the same time some begun to open schools to teach many young
black people to read and write, which was a good thing.
As many years role by evolution in
thinking and education, many black people across the world became recognized.
Many were educated in the countries where many of their ancestors who never
felt the filling of freedom and to have many rights where enslaved, they came
home to fight again for the freedom of their countries against some rulers who
still had grab of their ancestral people, it was bad and bitter as many lives
were lost in the struggle. This contributed hate ret by many black communities
towards white people even after the liberation struggle even though not all
white people were involved in the mass massacres and rebellious.
The thin line between black people and white people is a very deadly
one, all this due to the cychological history between the two. In many countries it’s an open secret meaning you can see it happening
but you are not or can say about it because you will become the victim of the open
secrete. Many leaders across the globe have been preaching heavly against
racial discriminations but sometimes they even themselves do not practice what
they preach because they are just the for the post or position they have been
wheel chaired to. As there is no one who is perfect any person would do
whatever they are asked to or whatever they had to do to keep those positions
they have. For many of these facts many people do not get jobs because of race,
most people get sentenced in jail unnecessary, put on death raw or life
imprisonment, some people fail to achieve their goals because of race. It’s
hard.
In many government in some countries
many whites are not working for government not because they are not qualified
or over qualified but smilingly they are not felt welcome or their applications
are thrown away when they reach H.R departments, hate rate is cychologicaly
still in many people. in the private sector where mainly whites are heavily
armed +and working for affects many
black people to work for particularly in Africa.
Many white people in Africa are not comfortably
settled as they are constantly watching what’s next for them when their
particular government in the country they live in takes a decision, some
government don’t even recognize or consider white poverty or unemployment these
are just some of the facts that have
pushed many white people from voting when it’s time for elections.
Now what can be done with all this? It
is the responsibility and duty of every nation or government to run
reconciliation programs, government employment agencies or commissions should
ensure a balance in employing all kinds of races or gender to strike a good
balance.
