Seun Kuti, son of Legendary Nigerian singer Fela Anikulapo Kuti has taken to his social media page to speak on the uniqueness and flaws of the African race.
Seun Kuti who has been very vocal in criticizing the government seemed to be swaying another direction as he decided to write on the uniqueness and flaws of the African race.
Seun Kuti who was earlier in the news after paying tribute to his father’s late drummer Tony Allen said that Africans are normal people that deserve respect without striving for perfection.
Taking to his social media page to speak on the uniqueness and flaws of the Africans race Seun Kuti wrote:
Black excellence is vibrant, artistic athletic, intelligent, beautiful but it’s fatal flaw? It’s IRRESPONSIBLE!!! The excellent blacks forget not all Africans can be excellent and if our humanity is suddenly pegged at excellent and perfect what happens to all of us who don’t fit into this category.
Most Africans are normal, we can’t jump or run fast. We can’t sing and dance or make beautiful clothes. We are just normal people. I don’t get it?
Are we saying the entire African people must strive for perfection and excellence before we are respected as humans? Moreover many of the images I see promoting this ideology is basically African people trying to ‘outwhite the whites’!!
And many of them have white peoples name sprawled all over them and they say it’s a brand and I’m like yea, that’s what they called it when they burnt it into the skin of your ancestors also, 200 years later and u are branding urself in the name of success. #getthesax
