I’m not a black man – Pastor David Ibiyeomie warns

The founder of Port Harcourt-based Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has said it is a misplacement of English Language to address him or anyone as a black man.
According to him, it is wrong for anyone to call his fellow human being black.
He said;

 

Who determines your true identity? Many people have an identity crisis, because of what they hear, what they see and what they believe. When you understand your root to bear fruits will not be a problem.
Because of our kinds of teachings even our children have been revolutionised in their mental system.
A son from this Commission went to a school in the United States and they said they have a special black history day and they wanted him to come for the black history day.
So, he asked them is there a white history day, the white ones told him, you have to go and know your black slavery root, he said I am not a slave. So, why must we have a black history day? Is there any white history day? He said it’s nonsense. So, the lecturer looked at him twice and wondered why he was thinking like that. Because his perspective is different, he said we should not have a black history day, we should also have a white history day. Because if the black has history, white should also have a history day.
Do you know that till today, some people see themselves as black? I am not a black man, I will never be a black man because there is nobody like a black book, I am not a black man, there is nobody like a black book for goodness’ sake and there is no white man, have you seen anybody like a white handkerchief.
A handkerchief is white in colour and we were taught that it is white except what they taught us is not correct. Is there any mortal man with the colour of a white handkerchief? Therefore, no black and white man. It’s a misplacement of English language from those who taught us English. There is no black history day, I hate that nonsense, you don’t know your roots.
