Nigerian music star, Seun Kuti, believes that the idea of black excellence is an irresponsible futile effort to combat victimhood.
The singer shared his thoughts about black excellence which according to him “is engaging in a noble but futile effort to combat victimhood”.
According to him, black excellence has a fatal flaw of “irresponsibility” as excellent blacks forget that not all Africans can be excellent.
Seun Kuti who further disclosed that the “ideology is basically African people trying to outwhite the whites”, wondered if Africans must strive for perfection and excellence before being respected as humans.

“Black excellence is vibrant, artistic athletic, intelligent, beautiful but it’s fatal flaw? It’s IRRESPONSIBLE!!! The excellent blacks forget not all Africans can be excellent and if our humanity is suddenly pegged at excellent and perfect what happens to all of us who don’t fit into this category,” he wrote.
“Most Africans are normal, we can’t jump or run fast. We can’t sing and dance or make beautiful clothes. We are just normal people. I don’t get it? Are we saying the entire African people must strive for perfection and excellence before we are respected as humans?”
