Men must not impose their primitive stupidity on women

What you need to know:

  • As a whole, humanity — the only superstitious species — once depended wholly on such primitive techniques and ideas. If Caucasian human beings are now “developed”, it is only because a class of them once boldly doffed such mental backwardness — thanks to voluminous borrowings of ingenuities from North Africa, the Middle East and the Orient.
  • Today’s African woman thinks she has no market value unless she smears herself with bright red rouge on thick lips against a jet-black background or unless she punishes her great pelvic endowment by walking perilously on extraordinarily high heels.

Our males are all “culture vultures”. They pretend to abhor sexual “indecency” in public. Yet they lick their lips whenever they espy the female libertine’s almost naked “thighland”.

In secret, the male gorges himself with disgustingly rotten flesh right after he has met in assembly to ban carnivory. Nobody condemns prostitution more disparagingly than he.

Yet female prostitution is not possible without male patronage. Often the loudest sacerdotal sex moralist is also the most dedicated nocturnal visitor to brothels. Equally powerfully, Negritude (a worldwide black intellectual movement) used to urge black societies to return to the extreme inadequacies of thought and technique of their ancestors. They have persistently urged black people to disembark from the only known vehicle of human development — namely, science and technology — and return to Stone-Age bliss called “African culture”.

Thus certain Nairobi youths have taken the law into their own hands to bludgeon women into straitjackets of dress governed by “African culture”. Girls must wrap themselves up like mummies, while boys — since they belong to the gender in the judgment seat — can expose their thighs up to the pelvis. Why?

Because, we are told the female body is more “fatally attractive” to the other sex than the other way round. The science of it is beyond my ken. Yet no Nairobi youth will tell you exactly how his grandmother dressed. He has no knowledge whatever that all his ideas about coverage of certain parts of the body stem directly from notorious crotchets of Euro-Christian patriarchy. But know-how (technology) and know-why (science) are the two names of the vehicle in which culture and ideas travel. The white world remains the leader in both field.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Thus elite African thought has long succumbed to white racism in science ever since Negritude swallowed unchewed the 19th-century European teaching that only the Caucasian had genes enough to excel in science and technology.

Genetically, the Negro could sparkle only in the mumbo jumbo of “culture” (defined merely as rituals). According to Negritude, then, a recapture of such ancestral mumbo jumbo was Africa’s only hope for salvation after so many centuries of European emasculation of our collective hands, intellects, tongues and environments.

In an age where other societies live by cybernetics, quantum mechanics and astronautics, our future, Negritudists told us, did not lie in increasing knowledge and skill, but only in rituals around Paleolithic skills. The Negro brain and hand, European anthropology had ordained, were capable only of the hoe and the spear.

As a whole, humanity — the only superstitious species — once depended wholly on such primitive techniques and ideas. If Caucasian human beings are now “developed”, it is only because a class of them once boldly doffed such mental backwardness — thanks to voluminous borrowings of ingenuities from North Africa, the Middle East and the Orient. But in today’s world, no society — however primitive — needs to reinvent the wheel.

Primitive America bypassed developed Europe only by improving on Europe’s pioneering work on electricity. Similarly, Africa can bypass America by studying America’s futuristic achievements to invent Africa’s own communications gadgets.

The point, however, is that all material borrowings come in such often deceptive psychedelic religio-ideological wrappings as “democracy” and “Christology” which conceal in themselves such degrading “free market” habits as excessive individualist greed, cruelty and vanity.

Today’s African woman thinks she has no market value unless she smears herself with bright red rouge on thick lips against a jet-black background or unless she punishes her great pelvic endowment by walking perilously on extraordinarily high heels. Certainly, she could use some of what the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins called “...gay-gear, going-gallant, girl-grace...” But — given the universality of world influences today — you can impose primitive male stupidity on her only through the whips of a theological police state.
