MENTAL SLAVERY

The terrible living consequences of the MAAFA is a mass sickness of the mind that deforms the African presence everywhere in the world today. It announces itself as the disconnection from history, breakdown in inter and intra generational dialogues and narratives, decenteredness, confusion, self hate and insecurity. Africans inhabit the jails and mad houses of the west in numbers far out of proportion to their presence in the population. A few years ago conseling for Acute Stress Disorder Syndrome was normally quickly - and correctly - given to Europeans kidnapped in the Middle East. Yet there has never been a programme to deal with the massive psychic, psychological, economic and social stress endured and still endured by African people who have survived the MAAFA, which is many many times worse. Even white psychology now admits that stress is passed on and inhabited from generation to generation.
