Royal Blood.

I was once one of those people who was always occupied with finding out how many people read my blog. Numbers were growing but no one was saying anything. Then I remembered we are black people and as black people we were redesigned to hate one another. I say redesigned because we are no longer Africans but blacks. They called us blacks and that is exactly what we have become.

Being black means your mind is imprisoned because of your skin colour and the name you answer to. We have adopted a fear of conquering. I say adopted because it is not ours, it was dictated to us and we just took it and ran. Our fore fathers were warriors, we are descendants of Kings and Queens who conquered and I think they left behind that same spirit to their descendants. We have our own continent, a place that is ours we are not occupants here, we are owners.

The point I am trying to get across is we have forgotten who we are. We hate on each other on our successes and the ones with successes look down on the ones without. I once told a good friend of mine that it"s not that people do not take notice of what we do or what we are offering, they do but they are offended. They are offended in a sense that as an African person success has become some what an obtainable ideal. If you have doubts of your own capabilities and dreams you will in turn feel the same about another's. It's not that people do not recognised your hustle, they do, they are just offended at the fact that you are doing it. They think how dare you think you can do that? Not because they are not capable of doing the same but because they were taught to choke and believe it just wasn't for them.

I repeat I am a descendant of Kings and Queens. We are the children of the working class, we are children of people who labour in their own land. I, together with a lot of young royals have decided to lead by example. We made a decision to show our fellow people that IT IS YOURS if you really want it. Acknowledge someone if they are doing something noticeable, scoffing and looking the other way makes you a black person amongst Africans. We are walking away from the inhibiting teachings of the system we have found ourselves in.
