Are Afrikan Souls Abandoning Remembering Themselves to Elevate a Plantation Existence?

Remembering the Great Omowale Malcolm X

It is beyond doubt that the builders
of the world’s first, greatest and longest-lived civilisations held living
knowingness of the Creator Supreme, were self-determining and preserved their
liberty in self-governed nationhood. This is a natural norm for the Afrikan
souls of creation articulated of here. There
are powerful lessons to empower Afrikan life in the now and in time to come in
Afrikan souls in the now and in time to come remembering their own superlative
self-determined journeying in the world. It is this course of self-charted and
self-orchestrated journeying that is the overwhelming majority bulk of the
Afrikan experience and thus learning from this in turn can facilitate the bulk
of empowering Afrikan self-knowingness. There are however, short term interruptions
and disruptions to the natural progressive flow of the Afrikan continuum such
as the Maafa of recent centuries. Though forcibly imposed by alien forces of
anti-Afrikan agency, the Afrikan surely ignores such occurrence at their peril
as there are surely lessons to be gleaned from such ills in order to safeguard
Afrikan life from Maafa continuance or Maafa reoccurrence.
From the alien bag of entrapments out the recent Maafa came the concoction of the plantation. According to a popular mainstream platform the word plantation means:
“colonisation or settlement of emigrants”.
The same source goes on to defined colonisation as:
“the action or process of settling among and establishing control over the indigenous people of an area”.
Either way in relation to Afrikan souls of the world these are dire circumstances of imposition, disruption and interruption not determined by Afrikan souls, but a history of destruction made by others. If Afrikan souls are severed from their knowingness self especially throughout the great extent prior to the interrupted state then the plantation or the colony can become all consuming. This, a formula that can deter the susceptible Afrikan from self-knowing because only a small particle of remembering of the most dire circumstance is erroneously peddled as the totality Afrikan experience.
Of course, with a total and healthy state of self-knowing the Afrikan would rightfully not see the ‘pinnacle of success’ being the subject of a plantation or colony. The great Omowale Malcolm X insightfully articulates the following:
“To understand this, you have to go back to what the young brother here referred to as the house Negro and the field Negro back during slavery. There were two kinds of slaves, the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negroes – they lived in the house with the master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good because they ate his food – what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved the master more than the master loved himself. They would give their life to save the master’s house - quicker than the master would. If the master said, ‘We got a good house here’, the house Negro would say, ‘Yeah, we got a good house here’. Whenever the master said, ‘we’, he said ‘we’. That’s how you can tell a house Negro.
If the master’s house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out then the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, ‘What’s the matter boss, we sick?’ We sick! He identified himself with his master, more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, ‘Let’s run away, let’s escape, let’s separate’, the house Negro would look at you and say, ‘Man, you crazy, what you mean separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I get better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?’ That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a ‘house n****r’. And that’s what we call him today, because we’ve still got some house n*****s running around here.
This modern house Negro loves his master. He wants to liver near him. He’ll pay three times as much as the house is worth just to live near his master, and then brag about, ‘I’m the only Negro out here’. ‘I’m the only one on my job’. ‘I’m the only one in this school’. You’re nothing but a house Negro. And if someone comes to you right now and says, ‘Let’s separate’, you say the thing that you the house Negro said on the plantation, ‘What you mean separate?’”
Does the Afrikan relinquish the remembering of self (a sort of burying the head in the sand) to elevate plantation existence? The Afrikan must surely determine their own way of life, their own families, community and nation. The great hero Omowale Malcolm X rightfully and emphatically urged Afrikan souls to rise the challenge of remembering themselves. This is something that only Afrikan souls can truly do for themselves. The great Omowale further powerfully states that:
“Of all our studies history is best qualified to reward our research”.
