Afrikans Must Surely Remember Who and What They Are

Self-knowing, self-determining, self-defining, self-bettering (amongst much else) are living qualities that the primary people of creation have expressed as natural norms throughout the ages. This Afrikan people held living knowingness of the Ultimate Divine, themselves, their own way of life and transmitted this from generation to generation. It is therefore by no happenstance that that Afrikan people in knowing who and what they are throughout their life’s functioning established the greatest and most long-lived civilisations that the world has ever come to know.

According a popular mainstream platform the word who is defined as:

“what or which person or people”.

The same source defines the word what as:

“asking for information specifying something”

If applied to Afrikan people these definitions clearly relate to identity and history. An Afrikan person exists as a part of Afrikan people throughout the various levels of the self. The information that specifies the Afrikan is surely located in the Afrikan history continuum. The Afrikan therefore walks with the awesome and empowering responsibility to remember the self. For Afrikans to remember who and what they are is an essential part of life.

Despite the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries with the vile host of impositions by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the Afrikan must remember. The great hero Omowale Malcolm X with profound insight and deep meaning challenges Afrikan souls to remember themselves:

“Who are you? Don’t call me ‘Negro’ – that’s nothing! What were you before the white man named you a ‘Negro’? And where were you? And what did you have? What was yours? What language didi you speak then? What was you name? It couldn’t have been Smith or Jones or Bunche or Powell – that wasn’t your name. They don’t have those names where you and I came from. No, what was your name? And why don’t you now know what your name was then? Where did it go? Where did you lose it? Who took it? And how did he take it? What tongue did you speak? How did the man take your tongue? Where is your history? How did the man wipe out your history? How did the man, what did the man do to make you as dumb as you are right now?”

With all of the great Afrikan thinkers, writers, presenters, artists and other educators that have graced the Afrikan world, Afrikan people are surely not short of resources to remember themselves. Only the Afrikan can determine collective self memory. As the great Omowale Malcolm X reminds the Afrikan world:

“Of all our studies history is best qualified to reward our research”.
