WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR ROOTS?

Everyday when I look around I see Africans who are not proud of who they are. They have this perception mainly from the media of the true definition of character and personal image. The beauty magazines we read don't do any better to our emotions they just pull our personal self esteem down. They tell us what is beauty then we start loosing our originality and star following the trends. Nowadays a black women cant go outside the house without putting paint on her skin...Have you ever thought of the damage that paint has on our natural skin? Back in the days an African women was acknowledged for her big body but now the media tells us is it is obesity and they need to loose weight who said being slim is sexy? have you ever thought of the trauma they go through to maintain that body, they have to eat certain food and live acertain lifestyles. On the other hand our African men have adopted the American way they think swearing is language everytime they speak they have the s* word is that how an African men was raised like? Let us stop adapting the Western culture and be Africans.
