In moments where I am completely full of myself I sometimes marvel at African American bewilderment of our collective role in America. In moments of clarity however I understand that our lack of a historical frame (that is African center) is what blocks us from seeing our plight today as an expected result of european indoctrination of the African mind. Fredrick Douglas once said “find out just what a people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong that will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with words or either blows, or with both.” We are in a process leading to our conscious awakening. Our enslavement had to end because this country was in ripe for a massive slave revolt. Reconstruction, deconstruction, jim crow, segregation, the civil rights era were all a process to get us to today. Before I go further allow me to clear something up. I am in no way saying that god, the creator, the ntrs, the ancestors, …etc put us in slavery so that the African could learn a lesson. To be honest I believe that idea is idiotic, but to each his own. The Spaniards and the Portuguese first enslaved Africans in the 1500’s because they were some evil sons of bitches who had the power to do so aided by our own African fragmentation. A fragmentation brought on by the unsought of the arab/Persian invasion centuries earlier. In “THE DESTRUCTION OF BLACK CIVILIZATION GREAT ISSUES OF A RACE FROM 4500 B.C. TO 2000 AD” Chancellor Williams says “From the earliest time the elimination of the sovereignties of independent African states has been the asian objective stepped up by the muslim onslaught after the 7th century ad. So the reestablished black states were still being conquered and islamized when the Europeans began to arrive in great numbers to impose their rule over both asians and Africans. …What happened in Africa was that European imperialism in Africa checked and replaced arab imperialism. The arab screams against western imperialism are the screams of outrage against western imperialist for checking and subduing eastern imperialist in the very midst of the black they had conquered. There are still blacks who are naïve enough to believe that the arabs bitter attack on western colonialism show their common cause with black Africa. Numerous societies were either sentenced to death from starvation or enslavement by arabs (pre European conquest) or barbarism. After the African lost Egypt and the southern Sudan some Africans grouped themselves to form nations and developed high order civilizations independent of external influences. Others never settled anywhere long enough to develop anything notable, but seemed to remain in a state of lethargy or suspended animation”
We are beginning to speak again, unsettled by where we are and the prospect of where we are going, Africans are beginning to rise again in America. The world is about to be changed again by a small segment of us like the small segment who march in the civil rights era. Don’t be discouraged because you don’t see big numbers on your road to enlightenment, there is supposed to be only you on that road. Only you can take you through that door Neo. (Dua la kuku halimpati mwewe) But when you know and believe in who you are and what you must do, then and only then do you become the one. For YOU/I shall know the truth and the truth shall set YOU/I free. The truth you see “should” set you free from someone else’s limited vision, but it cant if you are tying yourself more to other peoples vision RATHER than the vision god/the ntrs/the ancestors/the cosmic whatever has given you/I. This does not mean you/I shouldn’t take wise council, “you/I should” but there comes a point where YOU/I must step out on faith. At some point you/I will be called to walk on the water and pay no mind to the winds that blow. And notice its not enough just to step out on the water, you/I have to stay focused when you get out there or else you/I like peter will sink. The winds will blow. That doesn’t mean your wrong it means your alive. Life brings punches with it we might as well be punched for something.
