It seems as if where ever the black man goes war and corruption follows, Could the black man actually be cursed? Let’s look at Africa for example the continent up to this day remains the poorest in the world. Africa has made some significant improvements in recent years but compared to India and china its accomplishments are less impressive.
African Americans are also marginalised and stereotyped; despite their successes in entertainment they still remain relatively deprived. Sports and music are often portrayed as the only avenues to success; this has had serious affects on the youth. Cycles of poverty are then created as youths grow up expecting to never amount to much.
There are so many unanswered questions when it comes to the current state of black people. Yes we all know slavery played a critical role in the destruction of blacks, but in 2011 you have to actually ask yourself why Africa is still the poorest continent in the world. Why are blacks associated with criminality and poverty? Why do we hate ourselves? Why do we ridicule each other? Why are we like this? These are the questions we should all aim to find the answers to.
When president Obama, came into power many thought that the start of a revolution had began, sadly this was short lived as most things remain unchanged. During the election period it was evident that Blacks were viewed as less intelligent by the media and themselves. The media made such a big deal over Obama’s race, even black people feel into the media trap of highlighting his colour.
Due to the years of punishment and slavery blacks underwent in the Americas a little bit of excitement was understandable as a man of African descent was running for head of office. However some of the frenzy showed that blacks thought of themselves as inferior to whites, with statements like I can’t believe a black man is running for president, black comedians also used derogatory jokes further belittling their own their own race.
Blacks should have not been suppressed or doubtful of Obama running for presidency. There lack of belief Cleary demonstrated their unbelief in themselves. Are blacks actually cursed? Well I am not the creator so I cannot answer that question, but if you look at Africa and the diaspora you will clearly see a pattern and that pattern defiantly needs to be assessed and changed.
