You've probably seen photos of how some African tribes mutilate their faces as part of their custom. Have you ever wondered why?
It had to do, again, with the light races and their evil slavery. When enslaving Black people, they logically chose the strongest and most beautiful men, women and children. Economics dictated that they would get the highest prices for the best of our people.
To counter this evil, many tribes adopted customs of self-mutilation to make themselves ugly and undesirable. A drastic step, you'll agree.
But it worked. Many survived who otherwise would not have.
Now long after the days of slavery, those customs are still practiced because people have forgotten the original reason. When they are reminded, they become adamant and say, "We must do it because our ancestors did it. We cannot go against their will."
So it is that we still have some customs that are no longer justified.
