If you go to India, you will see that their God looks Indian. If you go to any Asian country, you will see that their God looks like them. If you go to Europe, you will see that their God looks like them. But if you go to a Blackman's land, AFRICA, you will see a picture of this guy, hanging in stores, in people's houses, and in churches.
Being into art, I was recently at a gallery show. I came across this painting that looks incredibly familiar. Where have I seen this painting before? Oh yes, in Africa. Turns out, the name of this guy is CESARE BORGIA. (You can google him). An Italian condottiero, nobleman, politician, and cardinal.
For decades, this guy has been sold to millions of Africans as Jesus of Nazareth. And people buy this painting and hang in their houses, stores and churches in Africa.
Look, I really don't care what skin color Jesus is, but I know for sure that he isn't European or American. Since his history was based in the Middle-East. And Middle-Eastern people don't look like Jared Leto with a long hair, or some 90s rock star. Why the phuck should this picture hang in Africa?
This is one of the greatest damages that colonialism brought to Africa. Classically conditioned people not to find their ownself a great ideal of BEAUTY.
Europeans, North/South of America and everywhere else in the world, all have their own ideal of their God or anything they held to a higher standard, and there's nothing wrong with that. But there's something incredibly wrong with Africa for not having its own. And this also impacted the way you view yourselves and the way you view foreigners.
This is 2017, and we are still in the information age. It might not last forever. It's probably best to wake up now and unplug from the matrix.
You've been punk'd, for centuries.
