You can buy their designers, you can spray their dollars but so long as 100 million people are languishing in poverty, kids hawk pure water in the streets and highways, no electricity, your president relocates to the west for medical care and so on, those you’re trying so hard to impress with your Gucci, your v-boot and your phonetics and bleaching, will never respect you. After centuries of humiliation, the African ought to go back and start afresh not continue from where their masters left them as if Africans didn't just undergo one of the most sudden and most violent and most degrading experience in all history.
Enlighten yourself, organize in your area, have courage, know your history and common sense (Like China did) instead of trying to escape, or mask your poverty with designers and destructive ideas and habits you copy from those in the post-Industrial post-modern west (those that are already flying to Mars).
