For thousands of years, the Bantu people lived in Central Afrika, a region that, due to its beautiful weather, colorful foliage, clear rivers, and tropical scenery, has been described as heaven on earth. But then King Leopold II of Belgium, the devil arrived, the worst racist genocidal maniac in modern world history.
In 1885, Leopold and his army of demons arrived. And for 23 years until 1908, he hellishly colonized the Congo (now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo and previously known as Zaire) and turned it into his private multi-billion corporations. In the process, he viciously forced the indigenous people to produce massive daily quotas of ivory and later much more massive daily quotas of rubber. If they failed to reach their nearly impossible quotas, he’d have their hands, arms, and/or legs chopped off, have them r***d, and/or have them murdered. He had “limb huts” constructed throughout the country to collect and publicly display severed body parts to systemically terrorize the Black populace. He had “rape huts” constructed to systemically sexually brutalize the Black women and girls. During his colonizing reign, he murdered an estimated 15 million Afrikan women, men, and children in the Congo, which is more than twice the six million Jews murdered by Adolf Hi**er in Germany (but they only teach you about Hi**er).
Most Afrikan scholars and historians have pointed to this letter as evidence of the evil intent of Christian missionary work during colonization. For them, the Christianization led by the missionaries with their evil intent was and has been a project necessary for the distortion and destruction of the Afrikan spirituality, culture and identity.
Leopold’s letter is relevant today than it has ever been because the distortion and destruction of Afrikan identity is the main cause for self-doubt and identity crisis most Afrikans are dealing today, which in turn is the main reason why most Afrikans are busy hating themselves, each other and reject the improvement of their kind. This has to END!
If you are Afrikan and want to wake up, redefine your identity, you have to start learning about your history as told by your own people. Then, in order to take the stolen land and resources back and uplift your people, you have to participate in building a cooperative economic system that will allow our community achieve financial freedom. You can start today by buying only from your own community, wheneveer possible. And OWN a business if you can or start doing all you can to be in a position to do so.
AVM is doing its part by building a platform that will allow our community to transact with each other to keep our money within, in circulation, as much and as long as possible to uplift Afrikans at home and abroad. Stay tuned and engaged!
