AFRICANS, BE A SOLUTION FOR YOUR SUFFERING!’

Africanness has been a currency, and while in decades past being African was cause for scorn, African culture moves the world today. However, our guest Chakabars argues that there has to be more to being African than just being ‘cool.’ This is in the context of the numerous problems afflicting Africans today. Participating in solution-making for African problems should be a chief attribute of Africanness (in addition to good music and excellent food etc.) He argues that the indifference shown by Africans towards African problems is what gives leeway to other Africans in service of anti-Blackness.
