Folks want to call out colonization for all the modern day ills of African societies, where and when can personal responsibility take over? Black Americans excuse bad behavior often saying it is the effects of colonization and I understand this millions understand this. Where does the human break the chains of bondage and start anew?

NOTE: African models NEED to be on African advertisements, I agree and it is very frustrating seeing NON-African, White and Asians all over African countries. Yet these should promote hiring African models. When I said something about this in Ghana I was told 2 of the lighter skin people were indeed Ghanians. ALSO NIGERIA HAS NOT BANNED SKIN BLEACHING PRODUCTS LIKE CAMEROON AND RWANDA!!

There is a story on Medium the title reads something like ‘There are no Black People in Africa’, I’ve never read it from the title one who is light skin, Black and American living in Africa can dispute this. There hasn’t passed a day…
