Would you wear a dashiki to a business proposal? The answer is no.
Correct - I'm an African - not a hotep. I also grew up watching the older men in my family wear suits so its something I admire. I genuinely love the European suit.
It symbolizes hard work and excellence to me - I was socialized that way.
You hold on to the culture that the white man allows you to hold on to for his amusement. Voodoo or metaphysics is a very complicated subject which I’m sure you have a very elementary grasp on.
Also, the older men in my family also practice Vodou. My father's side of the family has practised for 200+ years - I was socialized that way.
My mother's side is Christian - but my Father is king.
I'm actually well-versed on the topic because I've been around it since a baby.
What makes you different from the European other than skin color? Same hopes dreams and aspirations. You rebel out of insecurity
No insecurity - I genuinely take pride in holding onto elements of African culture.
But I'm not a hotep - I still will put on a suit and hop right inside a Benz.
