Did KTN’s Nancy Kacungira Just Say She Pities Black People? Oh Yes! Find Out Why

“It has occurred to me that the black man is not a human BEING.” Nancy says in her opening sentence in an article published by the Standard.

The beautiful Ugandan news anchor is clearly disgusted by the manner in which black Africans are handling themselves in the face of the world.

This comes after South Africans rose against their fellow Africans who are foreigners in their country in what is seen as xenophobic attacks meant to chase them away from South Africa.

Nancy says that it is a pity that as Africans we are rising against each other because we believe that black people are not human beings like white people.

“It has occurred to me that the black man is not a human BEING. Because he has failed to just BE. For so long he has seen himself as black. And nothing else. He has failed to develop his identity beyond that, his identity is always dependent on someone else’s.”

Nancy says that as black Africans, we should be ashamed of our activities just like we are ashamed of our black skin. She wonders why we think our black skin is a shame to the world when we should be proud of it instead.

“We loathe the blackness of our skin because it is a badge of shame. The blacker the skin, the blacker the shame. It’s so bad that we come up with terms like “lightskin” to refer to those who are lucky enough to be one degree removed from the extremity of our shame.”
