  It's gonna take 4 or more generations to naturally eliminate these black race sentiments and prejuduces. Education cannot accelerate the sentiments.

  Don't ever think people will change their attitude towards you especially during the night. This was what Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was fighting for: AFRICAN PERSONALITY which people like SAS still cannot understand. It was Nkrumah's selfless work in gaining Ghana and Africa's freedom from colonialism that speeded the attainment of equal rights for African Americans and he was awarded a plaque for his work.
  SAS, no matter what you do you will deemed inferior so far as you refuse to accept that Kwame Nkrumah and his ideas are the only tangible ideas to be followed by Africa and Africans!

  Good observation, Kwamebeba!
  
  Once again, our Dr. Samuel Adjei Sarfo is attempting a double-face.
  
  He is attempting to disassociate himself from what he truly believes and have put on the record already, more than once.
  
  READ: "...Yet if any one has been carefully looking at the statistics, one will conclude clearly that there is never a group of people more prone to insult themselves and the race than black Africans themselves. ..//...We are the only race still putting ourselves down while blaming others for putting us down. One time, a person wrote a commentary which I found rather troubling. He stated that the White spits on the Indian, the Indian spits on the Colored, the Colored spits on the Black, but the Black, with nobody to spit on, chooses to spit on another Black..."

  Comment: We Don't Have Any Cultural Heritage
  Author: Dr. SAS, Attorney at Law
  Date: 2015-07-03 18:42:23
  Comment to: Too much emphasis on 'Westernisms'
  
  Dr. Samuel Adjei Sarfo: "You write too much without saying much...//...We have no cultural heritage of a national character. What is called "our cultural heritage" is simply the archaic and frozen notions and acts we enact through dance and rituals and other spectacles on special days and occasions. And even here, we have no idea what to select as uniquely ethnic, Ghanaian or even African. And in this context, nobody can state one piece of it that is even representative or relevant to any tribe, let alone the whole nation...//...Because if we have any piece of cultural heritage worth its name, it will not be uniquely peculiar to us; it will not be western; it will be universal...//...So far what we perceive as our culture and tradition is only worthwhile in the anthropological evolution of primitive peoples. Thus our so-called culture is simply to feed western curiosity or ancient studies..."
  
  ITEM: Dr. Samuel Adjei Sarfo even spits on the dead. Samuel Adjei Sarfo spits on the Founder of Ghana whose success at a Unitary Ghana he now takes for granted. But we submit, the Unitary Ghana is the first most important legacy bequeathed to Ghana by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
  
  Enjoy that one, and more, Attorney Dr. Samuel Adjei Sarfo!

  I am all out for a unitary Ghana which existed as Gold Coast long before independence. The nation was not founded by Nkrumah; it existed as Gold Coast long before Nkrumah. Nkrumah just came and broke it apart with his treacherous politics and put it together again. No big deal.
  
  But of course, I expectorate on Nkrumah's dictatorship, treason and treachery: his one-party state, life presidency, imprisonment without trial and his creation of a cultic breed of nincompoops like your "weeded" self.
  
  I have never seen my fellow Blacks as animals to be confined into narrow prison cages without trial like Nkrumah. But at least Prof. Francis Kwarteng thinks that the greatest legacy of Nkrumah is the PDA which enabled him to incarcerate all his political enemies without trial. That, as far as I know, may well be his greatest gift to all the dictators of Africa. But we Danquists spit on all dictators, whether dead or alive. And Nkrumah just happens to be one damned dictator. We have never hated the man because he was Black; we hate him because he hated Blacks and tormented them as if they were sub-humans....
  
  You missed my innuendo against Nkrumah when I wrote:
  
  "Our most successful men, even where they fail to find a real white woman, will still go for the woman whose color or hair is closest to that of a white woman. What are our pure Black beauties supposed to do? Stay unmarried or go into prostitution?"
  
  And here you talk of this inherently racist man as a proud African?
  
  I stand by my assertion that Ghana has no recognizable national culture that will set it apart as a necessarily unique nation. If you think differently, just list any national culture here, or else keep quiet.

  READ:
  "....Biological sciences affirm the notion that all humankind are equal, and that exposure to knowledge and culture accounts for why some are more inclined than others to achieve greatness, power and wealth...Therefore the defining variable in mental development is “opportunity” which establishes the most legitimate intellectual differentials in the cognitive abilities of groups and individuals.../
  \...It is in the context of all this knowledge that Ghana’s first president, soon after independence, deemed it fit and proper to concentrate on the formal school system to boost the African personality and to merge the tribes under one great banner of nationhood . Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s vision for Ghana was the elevation of the confidence of the African and the unity of the nation and her people. This vision extended beyond Ghana’s borders to include the whole of Africa. What Nkrumah conceived of nationhood made philosophical sense because without knowledge and unity, no country can claim nationhood. If ignorance makes people show greater allegiances to tribes at the expense of the nation, then the survival of the nation is under serious threat. For a country to be a nation, her people will have to subsume ethnicity under the aegis of the national interest. The present conflicts amongst the tribes, though so far verbal, is a testimony that our country comprises nations within the state. In effect, we of this generation have repudiated the concept of nationhood with our ethnic animosity and undermined the very tenets under which the nation was founded..."
