DEMAND FOR RESPECT

in respect •  7 years ago 

An average 'black man' demands respect from the Western world and screams racism and injustice when treated unfairly by the Whites,, but the bitter fact remains that the blacks haven't earned this respect,, and until we earn it,, until we purge ourselves of our barbaric beastial instincts and actions,, we will forever be treated as lower humans by the Whites,, and rightly so..

We demand respect from a different race when we do not have respect for our own selves..
Or how do you explain this inhumane trend of stripping petty thieves naked on the streets after beating them to coma..
It is like we derive some sort of accomplishment and satisfaction in stripping people naked,, or even outrightly burning them to death..

They call it 'Jungle Justice',, but it just goes to show that we are still living in the jungle-- like wild animals,, not worth to be called humans,, or treated as one..

Or is it our political disposition?? Where you see extremely foolish people 'of the same party' killing one another just because they support different individuals..
How do you explain this??
You are in the same party,, which means you should share the same objectives,, but your supporters go to war and end up killing themselves and we call ourselves humans??
Intra party and inter party killings reign supreme.. And who are the people we kill ourselves over?? Akeredolu?? Amaechi?? Wike?? And co??

When the greatest neurosurgeon of all time - Ben Carson lost out in the presidential race of the U.S and he didn't as much as raise his voice or tell his supporters to go to war..
But here?? Yet we demand respect..

Even we rather jump queues and flout traffic warnings rather than stay in line..

Asides that we compete with them in fashion and other vanities,, they are very much ahead of us,, and since we don't even act as human to one another,, we are still far away from getting the respect we do not deserve just yet..

We need to start being humans first..
