Here is what M.I Think about The Rick Ross
Hold Me Back Video which was shot In
Nigeria.
Does it make you angry? Does it rile you to
see your country portrayed as poor and
suffering and full of struggle?
It burns you, does it not? To have some
foreigner- who knows nothing of your history
and pain, of the stories that flow within your
blood- to have this foreigner come in and tell
your story?
Is it not the height of disrespect and
insensitivity? Does it not chafe against the
thick skin you have grown to cover your
other wounds?
Does it not make you angry?
We should wax sanctimonious about national
pride being slighted.
We should vent our displeasure online
We should occupy something.
Because God forbid the truth ever be told
about what things really are.
God forbid a stranger remind us about those
things we choose to ignore everyday.
God forbid we ever face the truth about
ourselves.
God forbid we do not go on the internet and
rail about how our country is being cast in
bad light. God forbid we do not talk about
how there is a small minority which lives
better than portrayed. God forbid we do not
ignore truth one more time.
God forbid we don’t.
