What Is Indescent Dressing? by Pinkblue(m): 8:57am On Jul 24, 2017 |
What is indecent dressing?
Before the Arabs and the Europeans first landed
on the African continent, we were a naked people.
We were free of the constraints of flowing
garments and attires.
Our maidens walked around bearing their gracious
bodies all out.
Wearing only two pieces of clothing. One around
the waist, covering from the hip to a little below
their buttocks, and the other wound around the
chest covering just their breasts.
Sometimes their chests were left unclad.
Then beads of ivory and cowries around their
waists and ankles which made their walk jingle
with elating luscious graciousness.
This wasn't indecent or an eyesore.
We were fine with it.
We were a proud people comfortable in our own
skins.
It was like Miami beach in the jungle or the
mythical Ogygia in ancient Greek legends.
A true paradise.
Simply beautiful.
Then the Arabs and the Europeans came with
their civilisation and their religion.
Telling us how barbaric and uncivilised we were
for showing our bodies to the world.
How their gods had built their homes on our
unclothedness and how they hated having people
look upon their sacred abodes.
We accepted their civilisation and their gods. Took
their flowing garments and covered ourselves
from the neck down to the wrist, and further down
to the ankle.
Now we too were civilised.
Fast forward to some four hundred years later.
The white woman now walks around barely
covered up.
And the Africans are offended by it.
But we're offended not because they took our
mode of dressing and made it theirs.
Not because we're mad at their deception; for we
weren't truly the savages we were led to believe
we were.
Not because we were kings and queens with
majestic sensual bodies and they envied us for it.
But because we think they dress 'indecently'.
Now their god has moved his home from our
bodies to our hearts.
"For it doesn't matter what a man wears on his
body as long as his heart is pure".
So I ask you again, fellow Africans, what is
indecent dressing?[img]What is indecent dressing?
