This is a statue unveiled on May 12th in New York City, just next to the Rockefeller center, paid for by the Rockefeller foundation.
So this is supposed to be "art" venerating the old African culture of ... what exactly?
Wakanda?
Why in the world do they expect black Americans to associate with primitive African art? What's the connection?
This does represent the ideology of BLM and Nation of Islam, which imply that black Americans are "African Americans" and that they were ripped from a homeland that was glorious, with much ancestral art and culture.
Photo posted by a LinkedIn user as the village where he was from, how they lived in 2020. And this is all to common, throughout Africa.
So sorry, guys, you were ripped from WAKANDA, you would have been doing so much better.
Fortunately, Rockefeller reminded everyone of the true nature of the people of Wakanda. If you are black, you are like this demonic statue... That's not racist at all!
It is poverty, violence, corruption, oppression, a majority of people who have way too little education, who are just getting by.
Tribalism, religious conflicts, racist hatred are present throughout Africa.
There are some countries that offer a glimmer of hope - Ghana is doing better than most. They currently have a very intelligent president who really tries to move the country forward, but it will be an up-hill battle for him.
A Facebook friend from Ghana I had communicated with a lot for about 10 years told me about his living conditions. He was a member of the Ghana national handball team. He had moved to the UK with his twin brother to join their mother who had emigrated several years earlier. I lost contact with him when Facebook kicked me out, last year.
He was not happy about life in the UK. He obviously did not feel at home. But he had really wanted to get out of Ghana, too. He was striving to improve his life, but saw very few opportunities to do so. He was very much into reading, but he said most young people in Ghana saw reading as "something white people do".
Rwanda improved immensely after some radical changes that were launched after their horrendous genocide of 1994. But Rwanda is a tiny country.
Zimbabwe is much larger and has been utterly mismanaged by the Marxist Mugabe, since he turned Rhodesia, the bread basket of Africa, into Zimbabwe, where people were starving after he stole thousands of white-owned farms and gave them to his political chronies - who had no idea how to run a farm.
After Mugabe was removed from power, some white farmers accepted to return to their farms. Tihs is one of them - he was welcomed back by the locals with immense joy:
Nigeria and South Africa are the 2 dominant powers, in Africa. So what happens in those 2 countries is far more representative. And it's not good. Both are run by corrupt elites who do not care about their country.
Nigeria is torn up by the war between Muslims and Christians, South Africa still suffers from extreme racism, as the ANC regime discriminates against white people, wants to imitate Zimbabwe and expropriate them and even threatens to commit genocide.
Black Americans who still have any delusions about the glory of Africa should urgently read this book by a black American journalist who had been an Africa correspondent for the Washington Post:
"Out Of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa"
by Keith B Richburg
https://www.amazon.com/Out-America-Confronts-Africa-Republic-ebook/dp/B0030H7UN0/
"Keith B. Richburg was an experienced and respected reporter who had paid his dues covering urban neighborhoods in Washington D.C., and won praise for his coverage of Southeast Asia. But nothing prepared him for the personal odyssey that he would embark upon when he was assigned to cover Africa. In this powerful book, Richburg takes the reader on an extraordinary journey that sweeps from Somalia to Rwanda to Zaire and finally to South Africa. He shows how he came to terms with the divide within himself: between his African racial heritage and his American cultural identity. Are these really my people? Am I truly an African-American? The answer, Richburg finds, after much soul-searching, is that no, he is not an African, but an American first and foremost. To those who romanticize Mother Africa as a black Valhalla, where blacks can walk with dignity and pride, he regrets that this is not the reality. He has been there and witnessed the killings, the repression, the false promises, and the horror. "Thank God my nameless ancestor, brought across the ocean in chains and leg irons, made it out alive," he concludes. "Thank God I am an American."
The Democrats are currently trying hard to turn America into Africa. Their corruption, tribalistic behavior, support for communist ideology and Islam are exactly the kind of ingredients that will bring down the country, if the people let them.
Black Americans, in particular, have been instrumental in this development.
A majority of blacks still vote for the Democrats, i.e. the party of the KKK, because they promise them handouts.
Biden managed to steal the 2020 election only with the help of black Americans who committed massive voter fraud in 4 large majority black cities.
Is this helping the average black American? No, of course not - it's catastrophic! Blacks had the highest employment rate in history, under president Trump. Now they see their unemployment rising and due to the BLM riots, their cities and businesses have been burned down and violent crime in black communities has gone through the roof.
As the American economy is going down the drain under Biden, the first to suffer will be the poor and for now, blacks still have a much higher poverty rate than any other demographic group, so blacks will be hit the hardest.
The only people who benefit from this situation are the leaders of the Democrats and of BLM leaders.
