Insidious is the word. To me it comes down to the slow drawn out process that Africans worldwide have been led to believe/ and through ignorance/ that anything born and bred and concieved by Africans in Africa is no good. A cultural inferiority complex.
This spans across many things. Names. Religion. Dress. Education. Systems of Government. Other cultures are under this insidious attack also. But not to the degree historically Africans faced. This is the biggest barrier to our progress I feel. The battle of the African mind. But there is a slow/fast erosion of traditional African culture today. Ive seen it myself when ive been to the continent. When I am invited into a house within Africa and see a white Jesus on the wall my heart gets that sinking feeling.
