RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: HOW A NIGERIAN WITCHDOCTOR, SENTENCED TO 14 YEARS IN JAIL, CONCOCTED SUPERNATURAL POWERS FOR DRUG TRAFFICKERS

Why do we continue to use the virulent word 'witchdoctor'?

This is a toxic word that racist colonialists
invented for Africa.

For other parts of the world, for the same phenomenon,
they use the word 'shaman' and 'medicine men'.

For Europe itself they use the term 'psychic', 'diviner' etc.

Let us elevate our discourse.
