In a world where hypocrisy and lies are an art form masquerading as "tolerance" and "politically correctness", In Once a Slave, Always a Slave, a book written by a black to other blacks (and whites, yellows and browns), Anaya Binta, a black essayist argues that if Africa doesn't build a cognitive elite, the continent will be doomed forever.
Once a Slave, Always a Slave is about slavery, history, colonization, racism and black man's incapacity to build states where most Africans would like to live hence mass immigration from Africa to live with and obey black man's former masters and complain about the racism they suffer.
Once a Slave, Always a Slave is about black man's favourite default mode:
victimization and
moral posturing and how Africans, Afro-Americans, Afro-Europeans must abandon both if They want to have meaningful changes in Africa and in African diaspora around the world and if they want to have
any chance of removing Africa's stain and its consequences in black man...In Africa and all around the world. By now, of course, it should be known that black man's stain is the African Slavery that black man allowed to happen. Once a Slave, Always a Slave is a thought-provoking essay, as powerful as Aimé Césaire's "Discourse on Colonialism" and a work that may shock but which is the truth as Anaya Binta sees it, and believes all blacks should, if they want to respect the memory of those millions of blacks who were enslaved and treated as chattels.
