The African or black race feeling inferior to other races is something that Reverend Professor Peter Pryce has taken grave exception to in a book titled “But Suppose God Is Black”.
According to the author, who is a professor of French and founder of Living Faith Theological Seminary, God is not a respecter of colour, therefore, Africans must break every barrier in fulfilling all righteousness and greatness.
Launching the book in Accra, the Rector of Living Faith Theology Seminary, Apostle Dr Peter Wilson, indicated that the African is as human as any other race on the surface of the earth.
To him, one of the challenges pulling the African backward is the mindset of inferiority, which continuously imprisons the continent and its people to be in a state of slavery.
Apostle Dr. Wilson noted that the distance between Africa and its people freeing themselves from mental slavery is just a step away to become an economic giant in the world’s order of things.
According to him, the African is capable and able to do all things that others have done and to turn around their economic situation. However, the Blackman should first embrace change of attitude and begin to walk the path of greatness.
He also encouraged Africans to develop the habit of reading, since every great leader is a reader.
The Paramount Chief of Winneba, Nenyi Ghartey, on his part added that one problem affecting Africa’s progress is mistrust and “pull him down syndrome”.
He said people are quick to pass judgement on others who are working hard to break the boundaries to help position Africa on the world map.
This, he said, if Africa can unite with a common purpose and build trust, the young population would not be pushed into taking deadly voyages on the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea to get to Europe for perceived greener pastures.
