This is a very good question. As much as i did not like history in school because of the many books you had to read, but the thing is history revolves so much around the blacks being slaves. How it all begun really i cannot tell. But the only thing that made blacks become slaves is because the white community colonised us. But it is what it is we cannot change that, we were colonised and we got our independence what remains now is for us to do what we have to do and do things out way and on our own without being dependant on the white community to get things done. We as Africans need to change that trend that Africans are slaves. Yes it’s true that most of the whites get to do all the top jobs while the Africans settle for the dirty jobs. Ask yourself this question who gives them this jobs in our countries aren’t they our leaders, we have very learned people in our countries this are the people who need to stand up for their people and say not to slavery of all kinds and do what is right. Africans are bright and we have alot going for us all we need to do is get up and grab what belongs to us when it’s available don’t just sit there and expect to be given good jobs you have to be aggressive. We are the ones who let other people come to our countries and take our jobs. It’s not that we are not qualified for those jobs, but its the way we take ourselves and put ourselves down. If only we believe in ourselves and take up the mantle. We don’t have to keep living with that idea in our minds and hearts that we are slaves. Just remember that there are great minds in Africans. Obama and Oprah and many others are a perfect example that something good can come out of Africans not just slavery. Slavery is something that was there back in the days and it can only be used to refer to history not in the 20th century. We are over that.
