Let them insult the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, because if every sub-Saharan African decides to independently uphold a value of self-worth that doesn’t beg for validation, sub-Saharan Africa cannot be insulted. It is the same reason African parents say to us, “Don’t bring shame to your family”because through one person, an entire family can be condemned. As Africans, and with our collective fight to be relevantly respected as a continent and people, we MUST ensure to “doublethink” when we want to act in any manner that attracts public attention and not be selfishly oblivious of reality and the ripple effects of our actions to that collective.

I believe this was the deadliest family annihilation mass shooting since 2008. Killed eight children, seven his own and one who was a cousin of his own kids. One 13 year-old escaped. Girlfriend and girlfriend’s sister wounded. Shamar Elkins eventually killed by police.
