THIS is how you do it. this is how break down a people. like the beginning. strip them of their language, along with everything else that makes them who they are. and then they are yours. White colonizers are evil people in america think afrikaans IS the native languagebut it’s actually mostly dutch and a little german. that’s why my translator friend picked it up in only a year from his native language, german. then again, a lot of americans think africa is a country, not a continent, so For anyone wondering what we mean by “decolonizing” ourselves, this is it. It’s the effort of undoing centuries of beating our own cultures out of us. Learning our ancestral languages, cultures, and traditions is an important but very difficult thing for us to be able to do. This is why I refuse to listen to ANYONE that says I must stop speaking my language around them. God Bless him for remembering what he could. “That bushman knowledge that I have is something they can’t take from me” Idk that speaks to me personally Although I can’t speak my language anymore I still know my traditional heritage and knowledge -- source link
