Rastafari Speaks

Returning remains of born blacks *LINK*

October 4 2011 was a colossal day in post-independence Namibia. The country witnessed the return of 20 humans skulls taken from this nation state, to Germany, for studies to ostensibly prove that blacks are inferior to whites. This view is not something one picks up during this period of entering archives; it is a view held by many whites even today. It is this narrow and cannibalistic view that sustained more than 350 years of systematic oppression of the black people. This commentary places the return of the skulls in perspective. It looks at German colonialism, the studies conducted on skulls, the subject of repatriation and reparation and concludes with few suggestions on reparations.
