All of us educated Africans, take note.

Kenkey sellers and fishermen who are illiterate think the whiteman is God.
Surprised??+ACEAIQAh-???

I think the author of this piece is very well educated and lives here in America
and has a first name as Jacques, and tries as much as possible to live and
behave like a white American.  I am sure he knows French better than his native
language and if he has children, his children do not speak a word of his native
language.  I am sure he would rather wear a good suit made in Paris than an
African attire.

When we +ACI-educated+ACI- Africans go back home, we behave like whites and want to be
treated like whites. Any wonder? What do we do to disabuse the minds of the
illiterate people of their wrong impressions about white people? Do we
perpetuate it?  The issue is what are we doing to change this state of affairs.

+ACI-Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our
minds.+ACI-

All of us educated Africans, take note.

+ACI-Remove the log from your own eyes, before you point out the little spec in the
other persons eyes.+ACI-

Cheers.

+AD4-The following text was circulated on a Cameroonian mailing list.
+AD4-My purpose of distributing it to Africans in Madison is not to defame Ghana
+AD4-in anyway+ADs- it is to inform and raise the outrage that such acts deserve from
+AD4-us.
+AD4-See what you think and can do to help put an end to this type of violence
+AD4-against and contempt for Africa and Africans.
+AD4-I would encourage sharing this with any African you know.

+AD4-Some American lady went to Ghana to conduct research culminating in her
+AD4-PhD theses, the title of which was: +ACI-Ghanaian attititudes towards
+AD4-whites.+ACI- In this biased study, the lady only interviewed illiterates at
+AD4-Teshie-Nungua (basically kenkey sellers and fishermen).
