I'm sorry, but this picture only shows four black women on wrappers looking into a camera, and the smirk on two of their faces. It further shows a white woman on a gown staring (and smiling?) at those black women. Nothing else.

#I'm sorry, I refuse to buy into the sob story of "racism", and the laughable suggestion that they were being taught how to wash clothes. Till Jesus comes, I will maintain my objectivity.

cheesy

So I decided to look into the issue with a white professor and another white student from my department looking to help expand local research of Malaria in Tanzania.

During our briefing of the trip the professor pointed out he and the white student had nothing to worry about as they (their whiteness) are seen like gods there shocked wow, slavery inferiority complex

The popular Titcombe College was named for the reverend and they also set the foundation for the ECWA Hospital, Egbe, one of the biggest Christian hospitals in Kogi State.

Can we compare with our home grown pastor-preneurs

No wonder our pale-skinned fellow homo sapiens remain "superior" to us.

Good question!.

This's the type of images that have been used by white people to bombard the psych of black people for ages. Probably, also taught in school that whiteman told us how to wash cloth.

There are so many lies like that, including:-

1. That Mongo Park discovered the river Niger, when in reality Gambians and Malian fishermen have been fishing along the river before Mongo Park was born.
2. That Adam and Eve, Abraham, Jesus were whites, when in reality they were blacks.
3. That whiteman was better than us before their arrival, when in reality there were no significant different between Europe and Africa when they made contact with us.
e.t.c..

The goal of this sort of image, which unfortunately, is littered in our school curriculum is to make us look foolish, i.e to think of ourselves as foolish people who didn't even know how to wash cloth, when in reality those ladies have always watched their cloth before they ever saw a whiteman.

This's the same reason someone like the Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha will have a handshake with Obama in Washington DC and use it as a billboard. I call it elite brainwashing.

What is elite brainwashing?.

Elite brainwashing, the last stage of mental slavery http://www.africason.com/2015/05/elite-brainwashing-last-stage-of-mental.html

I wish I have the resources pretty soon to open our eyes.

but thw whites that discovered linen,silk,cotton for Africans would obviously 'ave taught u how to maintain them now,before the arrival of the whites what do you think our ancestors were wearing?

LOL...lies
Cotton was grown in Egypt and Sudan thousands of years before any white man even knew what it was...
Silk was discovered in the far east, from Silkworms..... China to be precise.
While linen was discovered in the fertile crescent of the Middle East.

Keep make false claims there.....

This still happens..

As an AA during my studies in the US I went to a seminar from the Catholic Relief Services looking for a NGO to help me volunteer in Africa. They played a video highlighting the orgs work in southern Africa. In the video they highlighted similar images to op's picture.

I was ready to walk out of that propaganda honey pot once i heard an African lady gleefully proclaim to the camera, "we would have never thought of this on our own". angry the missionaries "helped" create a simple barter system in their village and that makes them Christ angry I never returned

many of them are too busy being brainwashed and blind too. So I decided to go to a Camerounian polytech with an old college friend only. I'm no longer waiting on the pathetically blind to have broader vision.
