slavery
It's been a very long time , in fact years since slavery was abolished but Africans never let go and I don't understand , I feel their reasons are also not valid , so I visited a pal from Africa and were conversing until he changed to whole topic saying Africans were really lacking so I asked his reasons and he said some Africans in fact more of the population in Africa still uses foreign names and still seek for loan from them for developmental purposes I feel he has a point but I don't see why. I felt I was winning this until he raised the most trickery and shocking question when he asked me "so what happens to his culture" ? to be honest I was amazed, at that moment I felt he was a different person he spoke so emotional . Again with all the stubbornness in the world I asked him "without colonization would you have known the bible ? he was speechless and it made me feel like I've won a lottery until he raised the batter trade issue and I really got on the same side with him ,during the slavery era stuffs like mirror , gun powder etc. were brought into the country for valuable stuffs like gold ,salt, pepper etc. with this problem he bought me on his side and forcefully had to accept the fact that whatever he says is right I had to do that to make him feel he knows better . Coming to understand him I understood what he meant when he said Africans were still under slavery he only wanted the Africans to make use of their clans names I hope he bought you also seeking help is not a problem I feel the the bond between these countries are amazing ,A long time ago there lived a poor slave whose name was Aesop. He was a small man with a large head and long arms. His face was white, but very homely. His large eyes were bright and snappy.

She was no longer beside me as I wrote and watched movies, which caused those hobbies to become harder for me.

Things I love about-’Is Love The Answer’ by Uta Isaki
This is my first ‘book club’ challenge. I know it might be odd for some viewers. It’s a graphic or an illustrated novel, like a comic book, but not a literary novel. It's one of the best coming-of-age stories that I highly recommend for Aromantic/Asexual Pride. I know it's not a hundred percent transformation. But, it's one of the best books to know that I'm not alone.
