“There is no African, myself included, who does not appreciate the help of the wider world, but we do question whether aid is genuine or given in the spirit of affirming one’s cultural superiority. My mood is dampened every time I attend a benefit whose host runs through a litany of African disasters before presenting a (usually) wealthy, white person, who often proceeds to list the things he or she has done for the poor, starving Africans. Every time a well-meaning college student speaks of villagers dancing because they were so grateful for her help, I cringe. Every time a Hollywood director shoots a film about Africa that features a Western protagonist, I shake my head — because Africans, real people though we may be, are used as props in the West’s fantasy of itself. And not only do such depictions tend to ignore the West’s prominent role in creating many of the unfortunate situations on the continent, they also ignore the incredible work Africans have done and continue to do to fix those problems.”

rknjl: Sooooo, it’s called Canaan not Israel? Actually it was called Palestine from the river to the sea until Zionist forces decided to wage a war among the local population. If it had not been for Jordan helping us defend our territory, there would be very little Palestinians in the area from the river to the sea. Also I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the Jordanians who called it the West Bank but the British to differ from east bank Transjordan.

Sometimes, when I want to get angry at something, I realize that everything is going to cease to exist, like, I’m going to perish, I’m going to die, and that my anger in this situation can usually only do one thing: take me farther away from heaven.
