The topic of Racism in Africa is quite heavy. However, we cannot keep sticking our heads in sand and pretending that it does not exist on the continent.
My obvious choice of who to brave this topic with was Muma Sinkala and she did not disappoint. It was such a rich discussion. Albeit sometimes uncomfortable but that is okay.
Our conversation covered colonialism, African dependency on the white saviours and Africans being the gatekeepers.
“Racism is subtle in Africa”
“African countries have systems that continue to perpetuate racism”
“Every African is traumatised by racism, we just don’t recognise it”
“For us to get over colonialism we must forgive ourselves and then our ancestors”
“Unlearning is required”
This is part 1 of this conversation. Please come back next week to catch the end of this topic.
