The Mis-Educated Than His Ancestors, the METHA, does not give his children a religion. This is what happens to his children: Look at the disparate facial expressions in the image associated with this essay. One is of utter admiration and reverence reserved for Elders, while the other is a nasty oleaginous grab-on to a young man’s Olympic Medal.
One is a young man, Letsile Tebogo – who clocked some 19:46 seconds to win the 200m dash in the 2024 Olympics – looking boyishly, even sheepishly, at an 87 year old German-Argentinian, the current Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Across from this innocent obsequious look is the oily frown of a pope, grabbing onto Letsile’s medal pretending as if he could be his Elder, or even his grandfather. The old man from Europe via Argentina is able to do this because, Letsile, like many African Christians have come to believe in the cringe fairy tales of the colonizers of Africa.
There’s a point to this weirdness, and this is to reiterate the point that the man in the picture is not an Elder. And he’s got nothing to give Letsile. He does not even have the magic dust they throw into children’s eyes. But he acts like an Elder. Which is important. It is a patented stagecraft that Europeans have employed in Africa for hundreds of years. And it works.
Which is that besides Scientism, Christianity is the major shackle on the minds of our children. It is the direct doing of the Mis-Educated Than His Ancestors, the METHA, that his children have become the catamites of his direct colonizer. The METHA left the raising and rearing of his own children to the very barbarians who deceived him into submission.
For this reason alone, the METHA does not educate his own children. He does not give them religion. The colonizer educates the METHA’s children, and it is the colonizer that gives these children the colonial religion, and it is he who abuses them too.
The METHA is the only species on Earth who gives up his children to barbarians to molest. Now, you wonder why a 21 year old African man would look up, boyishly, to his colonizer, his direct abuser, and beg him to sign (bless?) his Olympic winning shoes? Why does a winning shoe need help- a blessing? Exactly! By signing and “blessing” Letsile’s Olympic sprinting shoes, the magic writes itself, and the pope can claim to his audiences that his dust works miracles.
It does not. Yet, it remains that the METHA has failed his own Ancestors in many things. He has failed his children. This is one of big ones.
