Usually, a woman is said to be beautiful when she has all the features commonly found in women of African descent, like: full lips, round behind, brow skin, you know, carved with curves, etc. But we don't acknowledge these things unless some non-black Hollywood star simulates the traits.
The point of my analogy being: we don't recognise what we have until it's lost or hijacked.
So I see college educated Africans blaming the West for Africa's brain drain? But why wouldn't they the hell increase their brain gain, when Africa frustrates hers? Don't we see we are (willingly) yielding to the same exploitation that we nag about? You see, activism for Africa and African beliefs isn't about saying what you think people want to hear. It's about sincerity in what you're in support of, or in opposition to.
