This generation of black Africans are the most foolish beings to have ever existed in the history of humanity and the entire cosmos
Very confused identity and lack of self respect and awareness

Go to India, we know Indians by their names, we no Chinese by their names, we know whites by their names, same for Arabs, Japanese…
But a black African man, who are you?
