Decolonializing the mind of color and the psyche.A Story by psisatyrIt's an essay on Post ColonialismWhen I think
of this, I realize it’s not an easy task. I have evolved into a postcolonial
being, being proud of my colored skin and by my humble ability to articulate in
English. But I am so rooted in ancient archaic traditions and also caught up in
the garb of British English which sad to say wanted to create a loyal, devoted
working class of clerks who knew functional English well enough to exert their
sadistic aims in a colonized country. By color I know I am inferior as I am
colored brown and not tainted with the picturesque white. Every day I am
accosted with job opportunities which ridicule me by saying that: “we are not
proceeding with your job applications at the present.” The color of the white
skin has not been eroded by the independence of African and Asian colonies. Why
is that so? Sad to say it is entrenched deeply in the moral prejudices that
White English is the most superior language of the World. But the funny fact is
that white English has borrowed many lexicographic meanings from the colonies
they have ruled. It breaks my heart when many prestigious schools in India
following international curricula appoint whites just because their skin is
white. I am colored brown and I am proud to say that. And I will evolve a
discourse that will transcend the f*****g whites and their hyper-masculine,
phallo-logocentric imposed discourse. But I have admiration for the French
thinkers especially Derrida, Foucault and Althusser. The French thinkers shred their color; they
stood against all opposition which nailed the subaltern to their crosses. I am a
postcolonial but I seek no solace in the white Christian theology of embracing
humanity with intolerance, pride and prejudice. Many post colonial Indians have
even won the Nobel Prize for Literature but yet the colonial nations stink with
the appreciation for colonial white culture. I challenge you, you f*****g
white, how am I gospel, and how I am in any way f*****g inferior to your
culture? Call me a Sand N****r I love that. Just the f*****g why do you tan
your skins to become f*****g brown? I have to rupture your discourse of white
masculine superiority and evolve into a intimate feminity that is lesbian, pan
democritical and pan-globalic. Yes, Lesbians should rule the world. They can
empathize, they can make love into many orgasms; they can produce a social and
economic harmony which will lead to bliss in the world. © 2015 psisatyr |
