Turning Black into White..........

As "White" can never be seen as "Black", so is "Imitation" can never be seen as "Genuine". White is White, as Black is Black! Yeah, the two as colours can mix to produce "Gray" and in fabric, to produce "Ash".
The Western world as the "White" race of our earthly globe has really done almost an equal amount of "Bad" and "Good" to man's existence on this Planet. Their feat in Science and Technology can never be wished away. They've so bridged our Continents Abstractly, that they're now just Seconds away. But the Real harm they've done to some societies Culture and Tradition can not also be swept under the carpet.
All the world religions originated from Middle-East (Asia) and were exported to the West, where they were all "Re engineered" and "Repackaged". Even the act of "Reading and Writing" didn't start from the West, but they've so confiscated the act that what are to be "Read", "Written" or "Thought" are now determined only by them.
Fortunately enough, our Asian brothers (the "Yellow" race, as one of my "Western" expatriate boss hated hearing the calling of a Chinese, "White") are doing real good in imitating Science and Technology from the West. Even our "Red" brothers; the Mexicans, Brazilians, etc aren't doing much bad in this imitation either.
We, the "Black" race are not doing that "Bad" in the areas we've decided to imitate.
Instead of imitating Science and Technology, we went for Culture, Tradition and the "Re engineered and Repackaged" Religions.
It's still seen as "Miracle" in Nigeria to meet all the ATMs in a Bank working at any given time. Our GSM and Internet provisions are not fairing better either. Our erratic electric power supply is now nursery rhythms in our kindergarten schools.
But we've so imitated the culture and traditions of the "Whites" to the extent that some of our languages are now on the verge of extinction. Nakedness has become a dress-style and nothing is considered as "Taboo" in our communities these days. With the newly introduction of "Sex-Education" as a Core Subject in our Junior Secondary schools syllabus, our Churches will soon incorporate "Divorce" and "Same-Sex Marriage" in their Doctrines. All in the name of turning "Black" into "White".
