@wizzy_plug: #Repost FELA KUTI: “99.9% OF WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT AFRICA IS WRONG.” Fela Kuti challenged the world’s perception of Africa, arguing that most of what people are taught about the continent is inaccurate. “I want to present myself as an African,” he said. “I want you to look at me as something new that you do not have any knowledge about.” When questioned about wearing what someone called “European clothes,” Fela rejected the assumption. His response was that identity cannot be reduced to clothing, and that the history of culture, fashion, and colonial influence is far more complex than simple labels allow. His broader message was clear: before judging Africa, question the narratives you’ve inherited. For Fela, understanding Africa required moving beyond stereotypes and engaging with the continent on its own terms—not through ideas shaped by colonial history or popular misconceptions. 🎥 Video credit: Fela Kuti interview #FelaKuti #Africa #PanAfricanism #AfricanHistory
