‘To ascribe the problems that disproportionately affect these communities to their inherent characteristics is to pass the blame from their situation to their genetics. The history of colonialism is full of such assumptions of superiority and inferiority. Wherever colonizers encountered less technologically sophisticated cultures, they assumed that the population in those societies were inherently less intelligent. The same pattern of prejudice can be identified within all hierarchical societies.’
This is the psychological burden that we are carrying since our independece day and the frame of mind that need to be freed.
Selamat Hari Merdeka ke 62.
