Racism: What is this Blacks Lives Matter All About?

Why should black lives matter? #Kenyan2TheWorld

      The identity and dignity the African people, near, far and wide, has been under constant vicious fire for the longest time in history. Racial profiling and actual discrimination anchored upon an individuals skin color, as it seems, has somehow managed to withstand the tides of time. As primitive and barbaric as it has and still undoubtedly is, this vice persists even within the modern world today. Honestly, is it not eerie that even in times like this, we still result to chanting slogans on the streets every now and then just to remind everybody outer that 'Black Lives Matter'?? 

       In as much as this affects our daily lives, the destructive impacts of racism seems to be not clearly relatable to some native Africans. These are the guys just like me, out there, who haven't notably brushed actual shoulders with this unnerving social monster. This thus implies the devastation within attempts of explaining the candid depths of this and hence derive the actual meaning to Racial Discrimination. 

      I came across the following piece of text and I thought it would probably shed some well deserved light to this 'mysterious', if I should say, vice from a historical point of view.

 IMMORALITY ACT, 1927

To prohibit illicit carnal intercourse between Europeans and

natives and other acts in relation thereto.

BE IT ENACTED by the King’s Most Excellent Majesty, the Senate and the House of Assembly of

the Union of South Africa, as follows:—

1. Any European male who has illicit carnal intercourse with a native female, and any native male who has illicit carnal intercourse with a European female…shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years.

2. Any native female who permits any European male to have illicit carnal intercourse with her and any European female who permits any native male to have illicit carnal intercourse with her shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to imprisonment for a period not exceeding four years….

Divine Discontent: The Way to Perfection

 These are wise words from the 'grandfather of advertising', David Ogilvy(1911-1999). He managed to progressively pursue perfection in the art of advertising by basing his practices in the school of thought that; "Being Very is No Good. You ought to be Very, Very, Very Very Good". This is basically how he built the advertising giant Ogilvy & Mather worldwide.

    'We ought to have ah abit of Divine Discontent with our performance. It is an Antidotet o Smugness.'

Cool Vibes Today.

"It's sadly interesting that the people today tend to relate more with obvious fake vibe and would do just about anything humanly possible, to avoid keeping it real."

Something essential about this young nation, sure is broken and I mean, broken real bad..
