Attaining and retaining racial dignity-: The time has come for the black race to come out of the sham boo that the black race is inferior, the purpose of this presentation, is to create an awareness in our souls and inculcate in our minds the ideals of being a member of the black race. The fact that we are black doesn't make us inferior or less important in any society which we find ourselves. We are black by virtue of the colour of our skins, and our physical attributes. These characteristics have nothing to do with how intelligent we can be, or how great we can become. We should begin to educate ourselves and learn more about our history as a race and as a people. We should be happy to identify ourselves as blacks with pride. Great men of honour such as Martin Luther King and James Brown once made comments like "I am black and proud" in the face of total oppression and racism. These are the kind of heroes we should look upon in tough circumstances. Self confidence As a race and people, we should learn to believe in ourselves, we should be confident of who we are and what we are capable of doing. This is where racial dignity has to come to play. We should be able to apply self worth and value in our daily life and activities. If you want others to respect you and have value for you, you need to respect yourself and have self worth for yourself. One of the problems facing the black race or Africans in particular, is the lack of self worth or self confidence. The lack of self worth, as most of us know as being transferred to us from our fore fathers who in turn received it from the slave masters(the white race). However, at Codewit Global Network ry, our mission is to change the mindset of the black race and Africans in particular. We need to realise, the fact that we are a noble race, with great potential and value and of great and significant importance in global development. We need to uphold our culture, language and beliefs irrespective of where we find ourselves. These are our only means of identification!
