AFRICANGLOBE - Look, folks, it boils down to this: yes, we have a ton of forces aligned against us. We always have. But more importantly, we, as a community, have the power to set the tone of how we are treated and respected, or how we are mis-treated or disrespected. We can choose to participate in our own degradation or our own advancement. I’ll close with this great African proverb: “When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.”
