Open letter to the Uncle Tom Called:
Paul Davis
A Sell out Actor who went "undercover" to maintain the ignorance and arrogance of Western Cultural values over Africans.
Yes, we all have people especially Actors that say " But I needed the work" the sort of excuse an SS Officer would say about the burning of Books written by Jews.
Or a Kappo ( Jews superivisor in a Concentration Camp) Paul Davis, seeks to blow the lid off African Medicine Men, but in doing so he plays to sterotype of what African Religion and beliefs are.
Belief is a very cultural thing. And simply because one doe's not understand it do'esnt invaildate it. Indeed, many People pay White Medicine Men huge sums of Money for cures against evil spirits and are never cured. Yet all the time these White Witch doctors ordained with the highest respect among society practise their craft.
They are usually called , Pyschologists. How many of their Patients ( or Clients) reoffend or slide into the very states they claim to have cured them from.
When we buy into knocking our Culture by taking the Pay of the White establishment we inflict untold damage on the perception of us as a people and simply bleach our rich Culture.
