Racism against Africans will persist as long as we have no self-dignity

Rights are never given, they are taken. If you allow anyone to give you your rights you simultaneously give them the power to take them back. The idea that somehow racism against the black race will stop because we politely ask the other races to do so is laughable. If today Kenya mistreated white nationals, you would see how swift and devastating a response we would get from the West.

When Mugabe touched white Zimbabwean farmers, he faced sanctions so steep that they gave new meaning and dimension to inflation. For as long as Africans do not have dignity, rest assured we will continue to be the victims of racism.
