the iconography of mother Africa

Written by Maleke Montshiwagae

rite from the onset I must add that I was tempted to suggest that what is missing in the background or the back of mother Africa in this motionless picture is white warriors of the evil character of Napoleon Bonaparte representing the forceful character of Europeans upon mother Africa! ...but something reminded me, that they [evil intellectual white psychologists] would typically say that ''take care of their [African people given birth to by mother Africa] minds'' and everything else will fall into place, this does not invalidate my temptations as both are complementary forces entertaining the same white supremacy objective....

the iconography first an foremost portrays mother Africa as accommodating to foreigners, the look on her face indicates that she is concerned with her child but perhaps like the too good for nothing Saint Mandela taught us about useless and timeless hope, she has hope that white supremacy will get full and stop feeding off her!......the white child feeding from mother Africa's breast represents two possible things, one is the emphasis that race is irrelevant to her in terms of genotype since she understands that humanity begins in Africa on the positive, and that the whites became what they are through processes of selection and adaptation but they remain essentially her children as demonstrated by the out of Africa exodus. ... the other is the fact that white colonial capitalism continues to feed from the nutrients of the milk of mother Africa represented by the gold, diamond and platinum minerals for example. ..therefore the industrial development in Europe represents a fully nurtured white child produced by the milk nutrients of mother Africa. .

the seemingly neglected black child on the ground represent one, the powerless mother Africa rendered disabled and unable to rescue her children while busy feeding white supremacy. ..two, the child represents the neutral voiceless African children who continues to feel ashamed to vocally confront white supremacy about the endless ''sucking'' of his/her rightful nutrients, also the inability to caution mother Africa of the dangers of hope and endless humanity. ..it seems relevant also to see the dangers of the rainbow nation in this powerful iconography because if the African child's rightful interests are not taken care of by mother Africa in that context, the African child will remain neglected while whites rips the benefits off mother Africa's breast. .. ................
