THE DYNAMICS OF THE WESTERN RACIALIZATION OF AFRICA (IN THE REFLECTIVE IDEAS OF EKWURU)

Abstract

Africa and its inhabitants have been one of the mysteries of nature that most of the western nations have always desired to demystify. The western nations, therefore, in their eagerness to demystify the African reality, have often reconstructed it in ways that seem strange even to African reality. The main issue then, in the modern African history, is the fact that both Africa and Africans were created and defined by the west. All about Africans were handled by non-African, who were not experts. Because of the invaded and conquered nature of the sole called White race to some part of African continent, that lead to the domination or assertion that blacks are inferior race. And this conquered continent meant the casting of the net of eternal dominion all over its shores and hinterlands. Again the defeat of the White to Black race leads to eternal dynamics of the western racialization of African. The westerners handicapped the rationality of Africans in all aspect of life: Medicine, Culture, History and even Religion etc. This paper observes that although the White races humiliated the Black races without taken cognizes of the Human Right. These tinkering have caused both races a perpetual and eternal war. It is the thinking of this paper to look into meaning and understanding of terms, and then articulate, the dynamics of the western racialization of Africa.
